J-Law is the September issue! At only only 23 years old, Jennifer Lawrence has landed Vogue's highly coveted "September Issue." Not bad for a self-described "wierdo" from Kentucky!

In the pics taken by legendary photographer Mario Testino, the Hunger Games actress smiles as she plays with some pups, looks sultry amid a fleet of flowers and graces the fashion mag's cover with sexy bedroom hair, a black dress, smoky eyes. We are digging this spread!

In the interview, the Oscar-winning star talked openly about her awkward childhood, and said that as a child she always knew she was going to be famous -- she didn't know how but she always knew it would happen.

    "Ever since I was really little, I've always had a very normal idea of what I wanted. I was going to be a mom and I was going to be a doctor and I was going to live in Kentucky. But I always knew that I was going to be famous. I honest to God don't know how else to describe it. I used to lie in bed and wonder: Am I going to be a local TV person? Am I going to be a motivational speaker. It wasn't a vision. But as it's kind of happening, you have this buried understanding: Of course."


Soothsayer or no soothsayer, Lawrence certainly called it -- she is irrefutably famous. However, while she may have dreamed of super stardom since childhood, the Kentucky native is now facing the harsh realities of what it means to be world famous as an adult.

    "I teeter on seeming ungrateful when I talk about this. But I'm kind of going through a meltdown about it lately. All of a sudden, the entire world feels entitled to know everything about me. including what I’m doing on my weekends when I’m spending time with my nephew. And I don’t have the right to say, ‘I’m with my family.' … I am just not okay with it. It's as simple as that. I am just a normal girl and a human being and I haven't been in this long enough to feel like this is my new normal. I'm not going to find peace with it."


Sorry J-Law -- your 15 minutes doesn't seem to be winding down any time soon. And we certainly don't mind -- we love Lawrence's real-girl attitude.

Vogue's September Issue hits newsstands on Aug. 20 and Hunger Games fans can catch fire with Katniss Everdeen on November 22, 2013.
