'Princess' helping the poor She isn't wearing Prada these days.Anne Hathaway, the co-star of "The Devil Wears Prada," traded in her haute couture for hiking boots this week to help vaccinate poor children against Hepatitis A in a rural Nicaraguan coffee community."Hepatitis A is actually becoming a huge problem in Nicaragua," the "Princess Diaries" actress told the Daily News in an exclusive phone interview from the vaccination clinic in San Marcos, outside the capital of Managua. "This has been an eye-opener for me. Even if I weren't an actress, I'd do it just to help."When Hathaway's boyfriend of 2½ years, Manhattan real estate mogul Raffaello Follieri, asked her to use her star wattage to raise awareness for the humanitarian work his company was doing in Central America, she jumped at the chance."It's wonderful to be able to bring attention to the Follieri Foundation," the 24-year-old brunette bombshell said. "I was given the gift of being a successful actress, and I feel like I should use my voice."Nicaragua tops the list in its region for rates of childhood mortality from communicable disease. For two days, Hathaway has kept busy comforting the hundreds of tots receiving vaccinations in the makeshift San Marcos medical center with smiles and bandages. Hathaway's spokeswoman Marcy Simon was blown away by the passion the actress has shown for the foundation."One thing that's really impressive about Anne as a person is that she stands behind what she believes in," Simon said.Anna Ziajka

I was on the subway once when I overheard a bunch of girls who'd supposedly gone to Vassar with her complaining about what a bee-yotch she was there....of course, they could always just be jealous of her.

Dressed for success

 

With The Devil Wears Prada, Anne Hathaway proves that she can make the Hollywood grade. But can she cut it as Jane Austen, asks Jeff Dawson

 

 

You would think Anne Hathaway — her real name — would tire of the Shakespeare gags. But no. Especially when she comes to Britain. “It’s actually quite nice,” she insists. “If I check out of a hotel, a porter will say, ‘So how do you feel about being left the second-best bed?’ (The Bard’s will and testament bequeathed his foremost flop to another.) I’m thinking, ‘ It’s so cool you know that!’ Most everybody in America thinks I’m named after the Beverly Hillbillies” — which has a character called Jane Hathaway.

This rose by any other name would still smell as sweet. In a hotel room overlooking Central Park, not far from Hathaway’s home, the tall, gangly, raven-haired actress tucks her legs under her on the sofa and does some rearranging of her tank top: “I hope you don’t mind that my bra straps are showing.” Hathaway is pathologically perky, with the pouting, oversized features of a pre-drugs Judy Garland: you can see why Hollywood has gone a bundle on her. The recent American success of her film The Devil Wears Prada has confirmed she can not only headline a mainstream flick, but hold her own against a co-star as formidable as Meryl Streep.

 

If there are those still scratching their heads, wondering who the hell Hathaway is, they will swiftly be enlightened by the legion of tweenies who, over the past five years, have lapped up the actress’s Cinderella turns in The Princess Diaries (1 and 2) and the delightfully Shrek-ish Ella Enchanted. Huge hits among the My Little Pony brigade, they have earned the best part of $1 billion at the box office and on DVD, making her possibly the most successful screen teen since Liz Taylor.

 

But, at 23, Hathaway wants to sit at the grown-up table. Last year she displayed her credentials with an understated turn in Brokeback Mountain. And with Sandra Bullock and Renée Zellweger creaking into middle age, and Lindsay Lohan proving no respecter of an early bedtime, Hathaway has arrived just as Hollywood is seeking a new American Sweetheart.

 

Despite a bit of saucy playfulness (me: is there any type of film you wouldn’t do? Her: “Porn, definitely, hardcore”), so girl-next-door is Hathaway that you are half inclined to ask whether she minds feeding the cat when you’re on holiday. In this respect, The Devil Wears Prada is a perfect vehicle. Adapted from the bestseller by Lauren Weisburger, it casts Hathaway as Andrea “Andy” Sachs, a Dorothy in Oz whose first venture into a career in “serious” journalism amounts to an internship as a PA at a fashion magazine and, moreover, unquestioning, 24/7 servitude to its despotic editor, Miranda Priestly (Streep).

 

Though Hathaway claims that in a previous job (baby-sitting, what else?) she had “this one tyrannical three-year-old, I’m not kidding, who was the most like Meryl’s character of anyone I’ve ever worked with”, it’s unlikely anyone could match the cool hysteria of Priestly — a part given extra spice by the fact that Weisburger’s novel is assumed to be a hiss-and-tell payback (officially denied) for the author’s time spent as a dogsbody to the Vogue editor Anna “Nuclear” Wintour.

 

At the fictitious glossy Runway, the hardwood floors are strewn with eggshells as Andy is forbidden to go to the loo, sleep or eat, sure in the knowledge that a fur coat will be flung at her should she fail in a simple task such as procuring, at five minutes’ notice, the Fort Knox-guarded manuscript of the unpublished new Harry Potter so Priestly’s kids have something to read on holiday.

 

The film was made by the team behind Sex and the City, and its sartorial bent is being heavily marketed. The day of this tête à tête, Hathaway has been forced to dress to the nines, fielding interminable questions about haute couture from impossibly effete European journalists. Now her stilettos are parked by the door, her designer togs strewn in favour of something more casual. “A fashionista like Mischa Barton really should have been the one to play this role,” she quips.

 

Forget Wintour. When it comes to a harsh taskmistress, there is none more fearsome than Streep, it turns out. For the first read-through, Hathaway says she was summoned (fortified with Dutch courage) to Streep’s New York town house. “She kind of pulled me into this really warm hug and said, ‘I think you’re perfect for the role, and I’m so happy we’re going to be working on this together. But I warn you, that’s the last nice thing I’m going to say to you.’ It was.”

 

Hathaway and Streep have a lot in common — “Jersey girls done good,” Hathaway yelps, with such exuberance, you wouldn’t be surprised if she whipped out a pair of pom-poms. Both hail from the professional suburbs of the Garden State (Hathaway is from Milburn); both attended the elite Vassar college. Hathaway’s mother, Kate McCauley, a musical stage performer, propelled Annie (as everyone still calls her) towards showbiz from a tender age. By her teens, she was a trained soprano performing at Carnegie Hall. “Honestly, this movie thing is really cool, but I don’t quite know how it happened,” she muses.

 

She was a caterpillar-eyebrowed 17-year-old when she got the lead in The Princess Diaries, off the back of a teen TV show she had ended up in, bagging the part by falling off her chair at the audition. Unveiled by the director Garry Marshall as a cross between Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn and Judy Garland — “Ha, ha ... I paid him $15 to say that, $5 for each actress” — Hathaway was a hit as the San Franciscan lass who discovers, via her grandma (Julie Andrews), that she’ s the crown princess of a country called Genovia. “What I can’t believe is that it’s never gone away,” she coos. “Now girls are giving it to their little sisters, so it’s becoming a classic.”

 

Hathaway is not quite as fluffy as this fairy tale suggests. An earlier assertion that she has “no regrets” about anything in her career is undone by sticking the boot into the sequel, Princess Diaries 2. “I was contractually obligated to do it,” she huffs. “I did Ella Enchanted not knowing I was going to have to do another ‘tiara flick’.” (One assumes she still banked the cheque.) Her chief gripe seems to be that it denied her the chance to star in the film version of The Phantom of the Opera, a role she had coveted. But other musical ventures are on the horizon.

 

More shocking to her core audience seems to be that in both the little-seen gang flick Havoc and Brokeback Mountain, Hathaway eagerly took off her top, prompting comparisons with Andrews, who got her boys out in the 1981 film SOB, then seen as a gratuitous bid to be taken seriously. “She’d been Mary Poppins for 20 years. I’d been the girl from the Princess Diaries for 10 minutes,” Hathaway says dismissively. “Films are letting me get older, which is really nice, because there was always this fear of what happens when I stop being a teenager. But for everyone else, it was kind of a sharp left.”

 

It should not detract from her turn in Brokeback Mountain, where, as the rodeo-queen wife of Jake Gyllenhaal’s Jack Twist, Hathaway aged from 20 to 40 and did some of her own stunt riding. “The most overlooked performance of last year,” Streep tells me later. And you imagine she knows what she’s talking about.

 

Hathaway seems to have things mapped out. In her next outing, Becoming Jane, she will be pursuing the well-worn route to big-league affirmation by playing English, as none other than Jane Austen. In this UK Film Council romp, shot in Ireland, she stars as the young author opposite James McAvoy’s Irish lawyer, Tom Lefroy — their doomed affair purportedly launching Austen on her literary trajectory. A sort of Shakespeare in Love take on proceedings, Hathaway says.

 

Here’s where things get tricky, for the “Austenites”, as she calls them, are already mobilising, crying excessive artistic licence. “We don’t have documented evidence. What we do have is the letters and hearsay, and probably, on our behalf, some invention. A few things are out of sequence. But everything that we see between Jane and Tom could possibly have happened.” She knows it will be her biggest challenge yet.

 

With Zellweger playing Beatrix Potter, Nicole Kidman as Virginia Woolf and, reportedly, Brokeback’s Michelle Williams about to do Charlotte Brontë, can we not find one of our own to play our literary heroines, especially with lottery cash at stake? But you can’t blame Hathaway. “I tried to be method,” she jokes. “I applied for a British passport before we made the film, and they said no.”

 

She should have told them the one about the second-best bed.

 

 

 

The Devil Wears Prada opens on October 5

"I grew up studying classic painters. They certainly didn't shy away from nudes. I don't find anything morally reprehensible about it. I think it is different to pose in a pair of hotpants on the cover of Stuff magazine. That's something I'm just not interested in doing."

 

Anne Hathaway..Why she'll do nudity...And does it well.

Anne Hathaway is Deluded And Possibly Racist

 

 

 

Starpulse reports on some misconceptions Anne Hathaway has about how Hollywood works, and her weird racial profiling.

 

Anne Hathaway is not worried about gaining weight. The 24-year-old actress insists she has no intention of being pressured by Hollywood into staying slim and already knows how she will cope if she puts on a few pounds.

 

She said: "There has always been pressure on actresses, but I will never suffer, because if I gain weight I will just become a character actress."

Anne Hathaway Befriends Bears

 

For all you crazed bitches who took me seriously when I called Anne Hathaway a racist, here's a nice item about her to appease you.

 

Anne Hathaway spent an unusual night on the town on a Friday shortly before Christmas.

The "Devil Wears Prada" star was headed with friends to the Gramercy Park Hotel. But while Sean Penn and his party of eight were allowed in right ahead of them, door staff failed to recognize the dressed-down starlet. The velvet rope stayed tightly clamped shut.

 

Undeterred, her friends (who we can safely say were fans of her role in "Brokeback Mountain") took her instead to Snaxx - a W. 23rd St. bar for burly gay men known as "bears."

 

"No one hassled her, and she had a great time," said a witness. "It was beer night."

 

 

They probably mispelled "bear night" as "beer night". Dumbasses. Anne's hot. My boyfriend is the hottest bear around so I take it we could party with her. FYI, bears are the hot new subculture. They're going to be big in 2007. You can keep your anime cat girls, and your Panic at the Disco! french revolution goth jerks. You can keep your twinks and your gym bunnies. In 07, it's all about the big belly and the hairy ass. Mark my words. Thanks, Anne. You're still a racist, though. Kidding!

Sanlee didn't post the whole article...but in the interview, Anne said something like her boyfriend's Italian, so he picks her clothes to wear...he's Italian, so he knows how to dress or fashion or some junk...

For New Year's, I'm going to give her props for two things - first, she isn't anorexic and second, she hasn't become a contractual beard yet.

Hathaway Suffered Depression As a Teen

 

Actress Anne Hathaway suffered from depression and anxiety as a teenager, and she's proud to have overcome her troubles. The Devil Wears Prada is relieved she managed to beat the miserable, self-absorbed period she went through when she was growing up. Recalling her troubled period, she says, "I said to Mom the other day, 'Do you remember that girl? She has now gone, gone to sleep. She has said her piece and she is gone.' But then I thought, 'I so remember her, only she is no longer part of me.' I am sorry she was hurting for so long. It's all so negatively narcissistic to be so consumed with self."

Anne Hathaway: I'm Not a Saint

By Courtney Rubin

 

Despite her sweet and down-to-earth image, Anne Hathaway says she has behaved badly in the past.

 

"You know, Lindsay [Lohan] and I have a lot more in common than people think," she says in an interview with the UK's The Sunday Times. "We've all done things we shouldn't, it's just I did stuff at college, when nobody knew about it, so I'm not a saint."

 

The Devil Wears Prada actress says of Lohan, who entered rehab last month: "Lindsay's a nice girl, I like her a lot, and she's a great actor, but there's a fascination about her lifestyle that distracts from her talents. I just hope she finds some comfort in the way she chooses to live."

 

But according to Hathaway, 24, she went through her own hard-partying phase. "I wasted time doing self-destructive things but it didn't work. I found out you can only dance on so many tabletops. I got that all out of my system and now I'm healthy and I'm grounded.

 

"I had to work through some s--- in my personal life," Hathaway explains. "I wasn't ready to be a serious actress, with all that entails, because I still had a lot of questions about myself as a human being."

 

Hathaway – who recently admitted she battled depression – dates her turnaround to three years ago, when she met her boyfriend, Italian property developer Raffaello Follieri, 27.

 

"He's brought out so many positive attributes," she says. "Before I met him, I wasted so much time. I was just annoying and narcissistic and smelled bad. He's protective without being possessive, passionate without needing to show his temper."

McAvoy Defends Hathaway Casting

 

British star James McAvoy has defended Anne Hathaway's casting as Jane Austen in Becoming Jane - insisting "you find the actor, not the accent" for movie roles. Director Julian Jarrold was criticized for casting an American actress in the role of the iconic 18th century English author, but The Last King Of Scotland star believes Hathaway was the best choice for the part. He says, "I think (the criticism was) fairly expected, but I'm a Scotsman and it's really surreal playing two Scottish people in the last seven years, so I haven't got a leg to stand on. "I think you find the right actor - you don't find the right accent - and she is undoubtedly brilliant. "When you find a British person playing JFK or some real big American icon, nobody bats an eyelid here. We don't go, 'This is terrible - it should be an American man playing this part', so I don't know why we get so annoyed."

Hollywood News

 

Hathaway made scenes realistic with Gyllenhaal

 

London, March 15:

 

Anne Hathaway said she made her scenes realistic in the movie 'Brokeback Mountain' with co-star Jake Gyllenhaal by making him touch her breasts.

 

But Hathaway, who played Gyllenhaal's wife in the gay cowboy drama, revealed that she had to scold Gyllenhaal for making the kissing scenes "a little too realistic", reports contactmusic.com.

 

She said: "There was this scene in 'Brokeback Mountain' where I get my kit off and I'm in the car with Jake Gyllenhaal and he's touched my shoulder and he's touched my stomach and he's touched around my back everywhere except for, you know, 'the girls'.

 

"So the director yells cut and we go behind a screen and I'm putting my clothes back on and Jake comes up to me and says, 'Annie, the thing is, the scene, in real life I would, so can I?'

 

"I just turned to him and said, 'It's okay Jake, yes, you can touch my breasts.'"

 

She said her co-star got a bit too realistic when it came to the kissing scenes.

 

She added: "Sometimes you work with actors, and they can be lovely guys, but they have kind of dodgy instincts when it comes to kissing in scenes. They want to try to make it look a bit too real if you know what I mean."

Anne Hathaway's Guy Sued for $55 Mil by Billionaire

Posted May 4th 2007 3:45PM by TMZ Staff

Filed under: Celebrity Justice

 

Raffish real-estate developer (and ultimate Zach Braff look-alike) Raffaelo Follieri is being sued by supermarket billionaire and friend-of-everyone Ron Burkle, for allegedly taking $55 million of Burkle's company's money and lavishing it on, as court papers put it, "an unnamed actress girlfriend," who TMZ has confirmed is none other than "Devil Wears Prada" star Anne Hathaway.

 

According to the lawsuit, filed in Delaware Chancery Court, Follieri spent at least some of the gigantic money pile on private jet travel for himself and Hathaway, dog care for their Labrador Esmerelda, monster shopping at Prada and Fendi, and an executive chef, among other extravagances. The money was supposed to be poured into development of land purchased from the Catholic Church, which is Follieri's business specialty. Burkle, a fatcat Democrat, counts Bill Clinton as a friend, and was among recent bidders for the Los Angeles Times.

 

For Hathaway, the bad news about Raffaelo doesn't end there. TMZ has also learned that while Anne has been shooting "Get Smart" in L.A., Follieri has been spotted in NYC with an unnamed model for Roberto Cavalli, and that Follieri and his not-Anne were recently seen slithering out the back of exclusive celebriteria Waverly Inn.

 

Hathaway's rep didn't respond to a request for comment. In a statement on the legal matter, Follieri said, "We believe we have conducted our affairs for the joint venture successfully."

Anne Hathaway Likes Expensive Things

Or at least her boyfriend Raffaelo Follieri likes spending tons of money on Anne. The thing is that the money that Forlleri is lavishing on Hathaway, may not be Forlleri's own. Billionaire Ron Burkle is suing him for allegedly taking $55 million of Burkle's company's money and going to town.

 

According to the lawsuit, filed in Delaware Chancery Court, Follieri spent at least some of the gigantic money pile on private jet travel for himself and Hathaway, dog care for their Labrador Esmerelda, monster shopping at Prada and Fendi, and an executive chef, among other extravagances.

Burkle, a fatcat Democrat, counts Bill Clinton as a friend, and was among recent bidders for the Los Angeles Times.

 

Unfortunately, there is more bad news for Anne Hathaway regarding her boyfriend. He may be cheating on her. Those details are after the jump.

 

 

For Hathaway, the bad news about Raffaelo doesn't end there.

Hmm.... well I sort of like Anne Hathaway, even with that semi-skeezer bf. I have no idea who Bill Irwin is, although apparently he's been in things. I saw the Manchurian remake - I thought it was Liev Schreiber and Denzel. Whatever. Anyway, I really, really like Debra Winger and luuuuuuuuurve Anna Deveare Smith. I'll see anything with ADS in it, anything at all.

Hathaway's 'Havoc' Nudity Celebrated

While less reputable than the Academy Awards, the Anatomy Awards have been presented

 

When it comes to big screen nudity, it was an important year for Anne Hathaway and now the "Princess Diaries" star is beginning to reap the rewards.

 

Shedding clothing along with her good girl image, Hathaway disrobed in both "Brokeback Mountain" and "Havoc." While the Academy may be all about saluting "Brokeback," it's the direct-to-video "Havoc" that earned Hathaway the prestigious best nude scene prize at this year's 7th Annual Mr. Skin's Anatomy Awards.

 

Congratulations.

 

The elusive Mr. Skin unveiled his selections on on the Sirius Satellite Radio Howard Stern 100 Channel and at MrSkin.com on Thursday (March 2). Awards were given in 20 categories, including the somewhat prestigious Lifetime SKINchievement Award, which went to Pam Grier. The "Jackie Brown" star joins past recipients including Phoebe Cates, Sharon Stone, Angie Dickinson, Jacqueline Bisset, Mimi Rogers and last year's honoree, Bo Derek.

 

Again, congratulations.

 

The Anatomy Awards honor nude and scantily dressed women in a wide variety of fields. Awards were given for specific anatomy parts, with Carla Gugino earning special chest recognition and Jessica Alba drawing praise for her gluts. While it helped to be naked, Jessica Simpson was lauded for her "Dukes of Hazzard" bikini work and Lake Bell of "Surface" won for network television exposure. The nudity also didn't need to be intention, with Debra Messing's accidental "Wedding Date" flash earning a nod.

 

Atom Egoyan's "Where the Truth Lies" won Breast Picture.

 

A complete list of winners is available on Mr. Skin's website, but you may not want to explore this particular site at work.
