X-men

It's been 10 years since Rebecca Romijn played the blue-skinned Mystique on X-Men and now Jennifer Lawrence, who stars in the most recent film in the series, X-Men: First Class, is the lady covered in the royal-hued paint. But getting the scaly, marbled getup just the right hue and texture is no easy feat. In a behind-the-scenes video featured on the flick's soon-to-be-released Blu-ray and DVD, it's revealed that each time Jennifer's body paint and prosthetics were applied, it took a team of six makeup artists about seven hours to complete. Of the experience with her makeup team, Jennifer said, "It's like a sleepover, except I'm naked and being painted." Watch as Jennifer is airbrushed, splattered, and latexed; there's no CG here, folks. But beware: some parts include brief, albeit rather modest, nudity and may be NSFW.

We didn't see this one coming! January Jones has announced she is pregnant, with her rep releasing a simple statement to People earlier today. "January Jones is happy to announce that she is expecting her first child this fall." January split with beau Jason Sudeikis earlier this year and has been keeping a low profile on the dating scene ever since. We'll be seeing a lot more of January once she hits the promo trail for X-Men: First Class, baby-bump and all, which hits cinemas in June. Congrats, January!

If you're a fan of the X-Men franchise like we are, then this should be a treat for you: it's the first cast photo from X-Men: First Class! The star-studded cast is all done up as their mutant alter egos for the upcoming prequel, which hits cinemas this June. The film will take us back to meet younger versions of Professor X and Magneto, shedding light on how their friendship deteriorated to what we've seen in the X-Men films. To help keep your mutants straight, I've put together a handy who's who. There are also more photos after the jump.

Match the actors with their alter egos after the break.
