When Jennifer Lawrence isn’t doing promo for films, she tends not to talk about her private life, she doesn’t tweet and she doesn’t use Instagram. So whatever she gets up to on today, her 24th birthday, will remain under wraps, unless she decides to go and get chucked out of a paparazzi-bordered club.
However, looking at the stuff she’s said in the past, we’ve got a bit of an idea of what she gets up to when she parties. Maybe she’ll tonight. And if not, well, then they still make for some perfect partying tips for us, right?
Demand the best/worst
What JLaw did: turned up to a party at the Cannes Film Festival and was heard barking within seconds of arriving: ‘I want to meet Bieber!’
What we can learn: Don’t go to parties just for the fun of it. Make sure you do either the best or worst thing there. Anything that’s extreme enough to make it into a story you can re-tell to open-jawed mates at future parties.

** Don’t let anyone tell you to behave**
What JLaw did: puked on Madonna’s manager’s porch and was so awful that Miley had to tell her off. She told The Late Show: ‘And I puked on his porch. I was in such bad condition and I look behind me while I’m puking and Miley Cyrus is there, like, “Get it together.”’
What we can learn: The whole point of parties is that people let loose. As long as you’re not upsetting people and you offer to help with any clean up/dry cleaning bills, it’s all good.
**Line your stomach **
What JLaw did: When on the Oscars red carpet earlier this year, Jennifer was asked by US Magazine how she felt in comparison to the year before. Her reply? ‘I’m just as hungry and my feet still hurt. I’ve got a Slim Jim and protein bar… and Pop Rocks.’
What we can learn: this was the evening before she puked everywhere, so it just goes to show, you can have a clutchbag full of snacks, but it’s not enough. As tempting as it is to not eat that much before a mad one, do get something down you.

Be charitable
What JLaw did: Along with her brother Ben, she threw a party for a one-year-old girl in her hometown of Louisville after she’d been diagnosed with leukaemia at just six months old.
What we can learn: So, of course we’re in support of such a hugely charitable deed, but we're probably not going to be that sort of charitable when we’re out clubbing or at a party. That said, it's still totally important that, while we’re having fun, we look out for one another, and help people out and make them feel special if they’re having a bad time.
Definitely dance with J.Lo
What JLaw did: She thought she had embarrassed herself when she tried to dance with Jennifer Lopez and got rejected. As it turned out, J.Lo wanted to dance with her. She told Access Hollywood: ‘She was like, “Let’s go dance,” and I was like, “No, I’m good right here.” But I didn’t mean it like, “I don’t want to dance with you.” I just meant like, “It’s so crowded in here, let’s stay right here.”
What we can learn: It gets loud and crowded in clubs and everyone’s had a bit to drink, so you might mishear people. Don’t let that ever stop you from trying to dance with Jennifer Lopez, though.
Don’t trip up, or just have a good laugh at yourself if you do
What JLaw did: In case you didn’t know where the whole JLaw-is-a-goofball thing came from, it all started when she tripped up on the stairs on her way to collect her Best Actress at the 2013 Oscars. Somehow, she styled it out and made the Dior dress she was wearing look extra beautiful as she fell, and laughed it off, giggling as the audience gave her a standing ovation: ‘You guys are just standing up because I fell and that’s really embarrassing, but thank you!’
What we can learn: Be humble, and if you end up walking around a house or club with toilet paper stuck to your heel for the entire night before noticing, make a joke out of it that makes people laugh more than they care about the Andrex on your foot.
