Anne Hathaway's 'rachel Getting Married' Character Is So Real You'd Swear You Were Watching A Home Movie
Oct 22, 2008

One of the most striking things about the new movie Rachel Getting Married is how natural it feels. There's this jumpy, not-quite- choreographed flow to the action that seems unforced, even unscripted. With the handheld cameras moving in and out of the hustle and bustle of a family's weekend of wedding preparation, Rachel Getting Married plays as the most sophisticated home movie ever made

In a word, it looks, sounds and feels real, which has the odd, jarring effect, in this age of reality entertainment, of reminding you how fake so much of what's presented as "reality" seems. Weird.

"That's the hardest special effect to achieve," says Anne Hathaway, who stars as Kym, Rachel's chaos-creating sister who's sprung from rehab just in time for Rachel's wedding. "You can't create it with computers. It takes great writing, great directing and great acting. It takes care and craft and commitment."

Anne Hathaway's Has A New 'sexy' Mystery Man
Oct 22, 2008

Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has revealed that after her break-up with conman Raffaelo Follieri, she has developed liking for a new ‘sexy’ mystery man.

The ‘Enchanted’ actress recently told on the “Saturday Night live” show that she was in a state of shock after Follieri was arrested.

“This guy I know in L.A. is kind of doing it for me right now, when I think of sexy, I think of him,” the New York Daily News quoted her as telling People magazine.

"You know when sometimes you don’'t know someone very well – you’'ll probably never see them again – but you just meet them and you''re like ''Wow, you really have it going on''?" she added.

However, a spokesman maintained that Hathaway was not dating anyone.

Raffaello Follieri Blames His Mistakes On ... Anne Hathaway?
Oct 19, 2008

“The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.”

That's what Raffaello Follieri's lawyer had the gall to write in a letter to the judge on his client's behalf.

But maybe he should have written, "Anne Hathaway and her celebrity devil friends made him do it."

Follieri is due to be sentenced for various nefarious financial dealings on Oct. 23. His legal team is desperately trying to get a reduced sentence of three years.

So natch, they have gotten lots of of folks speaking on his behalf about what a great dude he is and how he's got a sick mom. Yada, yada, yada.

But check out the letter with his character references and his lawyers' explanation about what happened to poor Raffaello when he fell in with the wrong rich-and-famous crowd.

His attorney writes:

“When he was only 24 years old, this young man from a small city in the South of Italy found himself a successful international entrepreneur befriended by the rich and famous. In a brief period of time, he was socializing with some of the wealthiest and most successful people in the world. He was surrounded by movie stars and celebrities and this young man, who neither drinks nor smokes, became intoxicated with it all. Unfortunately, he lacked the resources to maintain the opulent lifestyle of his new friends. Even more unfortunately, he had almost unfettered access to hundreds of thousands of dollars with few controls on his spending ability, until it was too late. Soon he succumbed to the temptation. The result was a colossal error in judgment which has had a devastating impact on Raffaello and those around him.”

Oh, puh-lease. His "new friends," those darn movie stars and celebrities, made him embezzle money?

Can 'rachel Getting Married' Star Anne Hathaway Get Hitched To Oscar?
Oct 13, 2008

Sure, critics are cheering Anne Hathaway in "Rachel Getting Married," but can she really nab an Oscar nomination in a crowded category?

Anne_hathaway

Already competing for the five slots are nine front-runners with 10 roles: Cate Blanchett ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"), Sally Hawkins ("Happy-Go-Lucky"), Angelina Jolie ("Changeling"), Nicole Kidman ("Australia"), Keira Knightley ("The Duchess"), Melissa Leo ("Frozen River"), Meryl Streep ("Doubt"), Kristin Scott Thomas ("I’ve Loved You So Long") and Kate Winslet ("Revolutionary Road" and "The Reader"). Plus lots of other gals angling to get in, like Michelle Williams ("Wendy and Lucy") and Emma Thompson ("Last Chance Harvey").

However, Hathaway has a few strong factors in her favor. She may be known chiefly as the star of popcorn pix like "The Princess Diaries" and "Get Smart," but Oscar has doled out nominations to other stars like her who've made the crossover to "serious" films. Prior to being nominated for "Leaving Las Vegas," Elisabeth Shue was known mostly for commercial fare like "Cocktail," "Adventures in Babysitting" and "Back to the Future II and III." Before she won for "Monster," the standout films of Charlize Theron's career were "The Devil's Advocate," "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" and "The Italian Job." Nicole Kidman's Oscar-winning turn in "The Hours" was a radical departure from previous pix like "Dead Calm," "To Die For" and "Days of Thunder."

Another thing Anne Hathaway has going for her is the randy nature of Hollywood's naked Golden Boy. He loves actresses with goody-goody reputations who dare to take on naughty roles.

Just a few years after she portrayed a wholesome housewife in "It's a Wonderful Life," Oscar gave Donna Reed a generous tip for turning to prostitution in "From Here to Eternity" — a trophy as best supporting actress. Julia Roberts got a nomination in the lead race for taking up the same job in "Pretty Woman." The original "America's Sweetheart," Mary Pickford, didn't become so risqué to win her best-actress prize, but "Coquette" ended up causing a national uproar — not for her role as a reckless socialite, but for revealing a new hairdo: a bob. The news was so shocking that it made the front page of the New York Times.

Hathaway Isn't Bashful Over Her Pride In Latest Role
Oct 13, 2008

Anne Hathaway has been an appealing presence in American movies since The Princess Diaries in 2001, but with Rachel Getting Married she takes her career to a new level.

The movie has drawn raves since it debuted last month at the Venice and Toronto film festivals, with most critics offering unqualified praise for her performance. And she doesn't shy away from acknowledging the obvious: She knocked it out of the ballpark.
``I actually did something that I'm proud of, where all of the intentions I had for the character made it to the screen,'' says Hathaway after the movie's North America premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. ``For me, it's a recognition of my dreams, this role.''

In the movie, which opens in Houston Friday, Hathaway plays Kym, a drug addict from an affluent home who gets out of rehab in time to attend the wedding of her sister Rachel (played by Rosemarie DeWitt).

It's an amazing gathering. Both Kym's father and her future brother-in-law are in the music business, so the party is attended by artists and musicians. For this multiethnic tribe, the wedding is a celebration not only of the marriage but also of multiculturalism, in the guest list and also in the style of dress and entertainment choices.

Hathaway: Follieri Questions 'difficult'
Oct 05, 2008

U.S. film actress Anne Hathaway said being asked about her relationship with jailed Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri has been difficult.

Follieri, who was arrested in June shortly after he and Hathaway broke up after about four years of dating, recently pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud and money laundering.

Asked by a reporter in New York what was harder -- going through a break up and the media attention connected to Follieri's legal troubles or promoting two movies while it was all going on -- Hathaway replied, "Being asked that question."

"No one has to ask it and people do. I'm here to talk about a movie, nothing else," she told a group of journalists while promoting her latest film "Rachel Getting Married."

"I've never been comfortable talking about my personal life with the press. I've done it because I don't want to stonewall anyone. If I could just sit here and talk about the movie all day, I'd be really, really thrilled," she explained. "At this point, from my perspective, it's done. ... With everything going on with the election, which is so huge, we're deciding our country's future right now, I think my personal problems and personal history is not really on anyone's radar anymore, so the question is the difficult part because it keeps (the matter) in the focus where I don't think it needs to be."
