Hunger Games Director Admits to Frying Jennifer Lawrence's Hair: After Jennifer Lawrence debuted her new pixie cut on Facebook last week to mixed reviews, Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence (no relation) took responsibility for the actress's new 'do. After having Lawrence repeatedly dye her hair while shooting The Hunger Games trilogy, the director inadvertently fried her mane, forcing her to cut off the damaged ends. "At first I didn't realize it was messed up," he told The Cut. "I thought she was cutting it just to wear wigs to make me mad, but it wasn't the case. We actually fried her hair, which is sad. I feel bad." [The Cut]
