Joan Rivers Isn't Done Talking About Jennifer Lawrence

It appears the feud between Jennifer Lawrence and Joan Rivers isn't quite over. Last month, after Lawrence called out Fashion Police for judging young people on their looks, Rivers responded on Twitter, calling J.Law arrogant and saying the actress didn't seem to mind the commentary when it was favorable to her. Now Rivers has told "Page Six" that her New Year’s resolution is making sure that "Jennifer Lawrence grows up and realizes how lucky she is and calms down.”

She went on: “I love that she’s telling everyone how wrong it is to worry about retouching and body image, and meanwhile, she has been touched up more than a choir boy at the Vatican. Look at her posters. She doesn’t have a nose, she has two holes. She just has to learn, don’t talk if you’re doing it.”

Lawrence has already been nominated for a Golden Globe and will surely be a red carpet regular this awards season, so it's possible that this isn't the end of it.
