Jennifer Lawrence has admitted that, despite the trappings of fame and wealth, she still finds New Year's Eve as much an anti-climax as the rest of us and generally ends up drunk and disappointed.

The actress is one of the guests on a New Year's Eve special edition of the Graham Norton Show and she revealed that she's not a fan of the night.

"I really hate it. I've never had a good one - everyone's chasing a good time and it's always a disappointment," she said.

Lawrence admitted she doesn't have any plans in store for the night: "I plan on doing nothing and then if something lands in my lap... but I always end up drunk and disappointed."

She joked: "'Drunk and Disappointed' should be the title of my memoir!"

The actress also opened up about her tendency to throw up, saying: "I am a puker. When I get stressed and exhausted I just vomit.

"I was driving with my publicist the other day and had to roll down the window and I puked all down the side of the car. It was in front of all the paparazzi - I painted New York! And I threw up at Madonna's party - on the porch!" Classy.

She also told Norton that she came from a family where it was "an offence" to be "considered a female".

The actress has two older brothers, Ben and Blaine, and grew up in a sporty household in Louisville, Kentucky.

"It was actually an offence in the house to be considered a female. They were terrible and would say things like, 'You are such a girl' or 'Don't do that, that's what a girl would do.' I'm only now getting used to being called a female."

Since becoming famous, Lawrence (25) has frequently expressed outrage at the way female stars are treated - speaking out after naked photos were leaked online, and penning a furious essay after discovering her male co-stars were paid more highly.
