WHEN SHE WAS TREATED TO AN IMPROMPTU 'RHONY' DINNER PARTY
On a March 2018 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the host surprised Lawrence with a dinner party — complete with Real Housewives of New York City stars Luann de Lesseps and Bethenny Frankel at the table.
It was a wish-fulfillment moment for Lawrence, who had told Oprah Winfrey earlier that de Lesseps, Frankel and Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Scott Disick were the three people — living or dead — she’d most want to have at a dinner party.
While Disick couldn't make Cohen's get-together, the WWHL team was able to find a cardboard cutout to fill his spot. All of this left Lawrence in complete shock. She jumped for joy, screaming "Oh my God" and quickly ran over to hug the Housewives.
"I'm going to cry," she said, holding back tears.

WHEN SHE INTERVIEWED KIM KARDASHIAN WEST ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE
Guest hosting for Jimmy Kimmel Live in October 2017, the Oscar-winning actress couldn't contain her excitement as she interviewed Kim Kardashian West about everything, and right off the cuff asked: "Do you think it’s a coincidence that Reggie Bush’s wife looks just like you?"
Their sit-down was full of revelations and none were funnier or more embarrassing then the time Lawrence drunkenly had dinner with the reality star's family at momager Kris Jenner's home. Kardashian West confirmed the actress downed more than a few drinks before demanding the reality star and her musician-turned-designer husband Kanye West to create a new fashion look for her.
“So Jennifer came over for dinner two weeks ago, I’ve never seen my mom more drunk in our lives. It was so funny. They had a few too many drinks for my taste,” the reality star recalled as footage from their wild dinner played in the background. Lawrence even admitted: "I remember getting naked in your mom’s closet and ordering you to dress me. You dressed me fabulously, I looked amazing."

"I had to go to a darker place than I've ever been in my life. I didn't know if I'd be able to come out okay," she said of the film, which was directed by ex Darren Aronofsky. "It was a tent that had pictures of the Kardashians and Keeping Up with the Kardashians playing on a loop — and gumballs."
