Anne Hathaway Is Judy Garland

Young actress Anne Hathaway wowed the Academy Awards crowd when she showed off her song-and-dance talent alongside host Hugh Jackman. Someone was obviously paying attention to her skills and a lightbulb went off. Smart man/woman!

Go Figure Robert Downey Jr. ...recovering addict is the most honest celeb

Oscar nominees Robert Downey Jr, Brad Pitt, and Anne Hathaway and Frank Langella recently took part in a round table discussion running up to this Oscar season. In it the celebrities did the usual tooting of their own horns. But one question brought out the BS-meters. We all have a BS Meter, and we regular people use when we watch the news or anything on TV. It's how we tell when we are being lied to and expected to buy it as the truth. After all, how many of us believe everything we hear and see on TV?

The group was asked if they ever Internet searched their own names. Taking the politically safe answer, Anne Hathaway at first denied it as if it would make her a narcissist. After all, I don't any of us regular folk consider Hollywood actors and actresses as vain self-serving out of touch with reality types. They are just... people. Right? And normal people do in fact google themselves, especially if they are smart. Right away my BS-meter goes off when Anne Hathaway denies googling herself. Fraud, narcissist.

Brad Pitt, wow. My man Brad. The guy we men aspire to be like... His answer? "Dear God. No. Never. First of all, I don't really know how to operate a computer."

Now I have to ask myself, do I believe this? It's either total BS or Brad is a modern day dumb azz. He can act like he is smart, but he is not actually smart? Is this why he fell for Angelina? Don't get me wrong, what man would toss that body out of bed, but do you marry such a woman? I can speak from experience a woman that good looking has one goal, to dominate you. Brad must have one thing going for him when I seen answer such as this. The guy can act! You wait folks, years from now when he and she are divorced. He'll want his balls back.

Which brings us to Robert Downey Jr. A man that has served hard time in jail for screwing up over and over. His pure willpower and talent is what has kept him alive I'm sure of it. But most of all, the guy is real. He opens his mouth and real words come out. If you ask me which of these guys I'd want to go play paintball with or go fishing, I have to admit ...now it's Robert Downey Jr. Why? Because he's not full of crap.

Downey chimed in with his answer to the google question: "Oh, I love all that (expletive) personally. Sorry. I love just it. Because it's a hoot. Some people overstate their support, like they know you. Other people are busy doing something else and just want to go on this chat site and say some despicable character assassination, which I honestly think: 'They kind of nailed it. I do have that shortcoming.' It's really fun."

Now of course sensing it's safe to now go into the water what does Hathaway do? She comes clean: "OK, I have a confession. I lied before when you asked if I Googled myself. I do. I'm embarrassed by it because I know how terrible it is. ... For a while, it cracked me up. I found a ton of humor in it. But recently it's changed. There's a big difference now where information is being reported as news. And I'm very uncomfortable with that." Go figure folks.

You have to ask yourself. Why is it we listen to these people at all? And to think thousands if not millions of Americans hang on the words of some of these celebrities for political insight and answers.

Well... at least they can act which if you think about it, is a lot of BS.

'Bride Wars' Movie Premiere

Last night power house actresses Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway were on hand for the big New York City premiere of their new movie, "Bride Wars."

The women showed up at the AMC Loews in Lincoln Square to pose for pics and meet and greet fans before heading inside for the screening. The press is already slamming Hathaway for the disappointing choice of wardrobe that she wore to the premiere. She certainly doesn't look horrible but we know that she had the potential to look 10x more fierce, right?

Bride Wars opens at the end of this week and is about two best friends become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day.

Anne Hathaway's feet mail

Anne Hathaway gets letters from fans asking for photographs of her bare feet.

The 'Rachel Getting Married' actress - who recently revealed she is dating actor Adam Shulman - is always freaked out when she gets bizarre fan mail from odd admirers.

She said: "It's nice to get good feedback from people who see the movies but I have had a few scary letters which I could really do without.

"I've had letters asking for pictures of my bare feet, which is just weird. I try not to take those too seriously because mostly everyone is really nice to me."

Anne, 25, isn't the only celebrity to have been bombarded with "weird" letters from fans.

'Pushing Daisies' star Anna Friel admits her stunning looks attract a lot of unwanted attention.

She said: "I don't really think about being a fantasy object. I'd only think about it if I got weird things through the post.

"There was a guy who sent me a photograph of his bedroom and it was walls and walls just covered in posters of me. I found that a bit freaky. And asking for knickers is weird too."

Anne, 25, is thought to have started dating the US actor last month.

Anne Hathaway's ex sentenced

Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison.

The Italian businessman - who dated 'The Devil Wears Prada' actress for four years before they split in June - was sentenced at Manhattan federal court in New York yesterday (23.10.08) after pleading guilty to charges of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.

Follieri - who spoke in court through an interpreter - admitted he had "no excuses" for his illegal actions.

The 30-year-old said: "The most important thing I want the court to know is I was not raised with bad values. I started off with good intentions, determined to run an honourable business and make everyone proud of me.

"What I did was wrong and there is no point in making excuses. I will never be able to wash away the shame. I just hope that someday those who have been hurt by my actions will forgive me."

Follieri was arrested in June after he was found to be lying to potential investors, saying he was a member of the Vatican, and then using the money to travel to the Dominican Republic on holiday with Hathaway.

He was also found guilty of using the money to pay his $37,000-a-month rent, medical bills for both him and Hathaway, and his father's orthodontist bills.

Follieri - whose next hearing is scheduled for December 12 - will be imprisoned in either New Jersey's Fort Dix facility or the jail in Otisville, New York, after officials have decided the level of security he needs.

Prior to yesterday's hearing, Follieri had agreed not to appeal any sentence that was shorter than 63 months in prison.

In addition to jail time, he will have to pay a $1,400 special assessment fee to the United States and was also given three years of supervised release.

Anne Hathaway Declares Her Love For Obama

At the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, Princess Diaries actress Anne Hathaway told press that she wasn’t sure how she first felt about presidential candidate Barack Obama - revealing that she was hesitant to trust Obama because she had placed her trust into other candidates and been let down before.

“I’ve been burned by politicians before that I wanted to believe in and just didn’t live up to it,” the star explained. “And I was afraid to trust him and I was afraid to have hope when I first kind of became aware of him.”

It was Obama’s speech on race that swayed the Get Smart actress’ opinion, “I just said, ‘I can’t deny how I feel about you, Barack Obama. I want you to be the president. I want you in the White House." Well, there you have it, looks like Hathaway is an Obama fan!

Anne Hathaway: 'When I was growing up I wanted a nose job'

Actress says she considered a nose job to fit the Hollywood mould

Anne Hathaway has admitted that she came close to having cosmetic surgery when she was younger.

The Princess Diaries actress says she felt she had to look a certain way when she first found fame in her teens.

‘Growing up, there’s a lot of pressure on young women,’ she says. ‘You just want to be cookie-cutter beautiful. And sometimes you think: “Maybe I could change something about myself to fit that mould.”

‘When I was growing up I wanted a nose job.’

Anne, 25, is relieved she never went under the knife as she thinks it would have affected her ability to portray certain roles.

‘Your face needs to have character if you’re going to be an actor,’ she tells the Daily Express.

‘If there’s anything in my power to change myself, I’ll do it. But in terms of radically changing myself for self-esteem or anything, no, I don’t think I’ll ever do that.’

FBI Seize Hathaway's Personal Items

On their second raid of Raffaello Follieri's Trump Tower apartment, the FBI took personal items hoping to strengthen their case against him, the New York Daily News reports. Among the items were the princess's diaries.

Though Anne Hathaway, the Italian businessman's former girlfriend, has not been charged with anything, the FBI confiscated her personal documents, to be used in his prosecution.

Other items seized include photos of Follieri with Bill and Hillary Clinton, Pope John Paul II, and John and Cindy McCain.

Also seized were documents, watches, a Tiffany clock, an antique Bible, and personal photos of Follieri and Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend arrested in New York

Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri, who recently split from long-time girlfriend actress Anne Hathaway, was arrested on Tuesday on charges of operating a fraudulent real estate scheme that he claimed was linked to the Vatican.

Follieri, 29, was charged with conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering, in a criminal complaint unsealed in Manhattan Federal Court on Tuesday.

The complaint contends Follieri got millions of dollars in investment money from a private equity firm based on his misrepresentations that he had close connections with the Vatican that enabled him to buy the Catholic Church’s unwanted U.S. real estate properties at a discount.

Instead, Follieri and others used the investors’ money for expensive clothes and restaurant meals, a $37,000-a-month Manhattan apartment, dog-walking services and other personal expenditures including medical expenses for his girlfriend at the time, according to the complaint.

The “Get Smart” and ”The Devil Wears Prada” star who had dated Follieri for several years, split with him just a week ago, according to reports.
