It seems that the world has fallen in love with Jennifer Lawrence. And for good reason: There's something about the quirky, down-to-earth 22-year-old actress that just makes you want to be her BFF. Despite her swift rise to becoming Hollywood's biggest it-girl, the "Hunger Games" star seems totally unfazed by fame -- she's still silly, self-deprecating and always body-positive (not to mention full of amazing one-liners like "I want a pizza with my face on it.")

To quickly recap: Rolling Stone named JLawr the "coolest chick in Hollywood," she recently won a People's Choice Award and Golden Globe Award, she's reportedly earning a cool $10 million to reprise her role as Katniss in the upcoming "Catching Fire" film, and she's been nominated for another Oscar. Is there anything Jennifer Lawrence can't do?!
