Is Anne Hathaway turning into a bridezilla, all for a wedding which may not happen?

I was surprised more people didn’t yell at me in that Anne Hathaway post two days ago. I asked, “Hey, isn’t it weird that Anne Hathaway and her fiancé are waiting two years after the proposal to get married?” It ended up being a civilized discussion, with no one calling me a dumb, awful slut for even suggesting that something odd might be afloat. I think that while Anne inspires mixed reactions, there’s a general feeling that there’s always more to the story with Anne. Let me be clear: I like Anne a great deal. I think she’s incredibly talented, hard-working, professional, and I even like her public persona, the version of Anne that comes out in interviews. But I think the real Anne is probably more of a handful, more of a drama queen, more of temperamental “artist” type. I also kind of think that Anne’s going with a long engagement because she’s kind of hoping something better comes along? Perhaps. Anyway, I have another special gift for you – a story about Anne becoming a bridezilla!

Anne Hathaway is deep in the planning stages of her wedding, but it isn’t turning out to be the blissful time she had hoped.

The 29-year-old beauty has been focused on the big day since her November engagement to actor Adam Shulman, 31, but she’s starting to bicker with her husband-to-be about the nuptials Star magazine is reporting.

“Anne’s been in charge of everything from the place settings to the music,” a source said. “But now, she and Adam are fighting over the size of the wedding. Anne wants it to be small and intimate, while Adam’s family has a potential guest list of over 200 people.”

Friends are becoming concerned that the pair may not make it down the aisle.

“Anne is used to getting whatever she wants so having to compromise with Adam’s family has not been easy. It’s caused a lot of tension in their relationship. She still hasn’t set a date yet,” the source said.

The Oscar host has decided though to have a Valentino wedding dress and she’s being a very generous bride!

“Anne’s bridesmaids will also be wearing Valentino as well. Anne is buying all the dresses, so everyone is excited,” the source revealed.

Why is she going all bridezilla if the wedding isn’t for another year and a half (which is the date Us Weekly claims)? Maybe the October 2013 wedding date was false – Star Mag says they haven’t named a date. Or maybe she’s not really a bridezilla. Or maybe she really loves Adam and wants to build a drama-free life with him…? Haha. All I know is that I’m getting a weird vibe. My vibes aren’t 100% accurate, but I’ve been right often enough. Something is up!

    The first picture is not flattering of her at all.

  2. alison8701 says:

    If they have kids, they’ll probably have really regular sized eyes.

    For some reason, I thought Adam was a musician. Judging by his IMDb creds, he’s not really anything, save for a budget RyGos.

  3. carrie says:

    Her life is a sequel of her awful wedding movie with kate kudson

  4. brin says:

    I don’t know, maybe there is nothing more than her being a bridezilla…it is her wedding day and I’m sure she wants perfection.

  5. marie says:

    I think I would be annoyed if I wanted a small wedding but his family was pushing for a larger one. If she’s paying for it, it should be what she wants, let’s face it-the wedding is for the bride while the groom just shows up, and most guys are ok with that..

    • Jag says:

      They should have a small wedding and a large reception afterward, imo..

    • WillyNilly says:

      Currently planning a wedding and have the same issue. Fiance keeps pushing for a bigger and bigger event. I WISH he was the kind of guy that just shows up but he is insisting on being part of the planning. It’s agravating.

  6. paola says:

    What i really LOVE about this website is that people come here to discuss things in a civil way, without offending each other and with loads of respect, unlike many other places where people are so rude and say really nasty things (only because they hide their faces behind a screen) so ladies (and gentlemen if there’s any) my compliments to all of us! yay! 🙂

    • .... says:

      Agreed! 🙂 Plus the people here are talking much more adequate about weight and beauty than on other sites, where it’s just like “she’s too fat” blabla…

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      Agreed. Been coming here almost daily for about a year and a half now and it’s the best. Snark with grace 😉

      • Michelle says:

        Yeah, I’ve been coming to this website daily for almost a year now and I still can’t get enough. It’s motto is true: “escapism can be smart”. I come more for the comment and writer’s opinions than the actual story. The commentaries are all funny or insightful and not vain and immature. 🙂

    • bluhare says:

      I think that’s true part of the time; it depends on what threads. I don’t go read some of them now because I know the conversation (if you want to call it that) will be full of “fool!” and “leave if you don’t like it” crap.

      but then there was one not too long ago about abortion I think that was so civilised, I think I even posted so.

      • Lindy says:

        Totally agree! I stay off the “triangle” threads because those get weird (and I just don’t care at all). But otherwise, I love Celebitchy because there are funny, fun comment threads with all kinds of interesting people, and I love how sometimes the discussions end up getting political but mostly stay civil. I like the fact that the CB writers are able to do fun, mindless gossipy stuff but also the occasional more serious post. And that everyone seems to acknowledge that there is a place for both aspects.

      • bluhare says:

        Thanks for the validation, Lindy!

      • Most of the time, yeah, it’s pretty civilised here. I WAS called a bad psychologist once because I simply said someone was a little overboard in their response to something. But that’s pretty much been the worst of it for me. Oh, and then there’s Courtney who calls everyone “dumbass.” 😀

      • Aria says:

        Totally agree! Some people are too obsessed with Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. I like them both (as actresses)and I don’t see any problem with it.

    • skipper says:

      Totally agree. This site is my favorite. I’ve actually found so many of the comments eye opening and informative. They seem to come from intelligent people who simply like to zone out with some good gossip throughout the day.

    • Onyx XV says:

      That is true for the most part, and why I like this site as well. There are a couple hot-button topics though – parenting is one. I’ve gotten my head bitten off once or twice so now I just stay out of it if the topic is parenting lol 😉

  7. MrsBarneyStinson says:

    I love Anne! Always have. 🙂 But I really hope she finds someone else. Someone better than Adam Shulman. Not that I know him personally, but he always seems so….”meh”. I didn’t even know who he was until he got linked with Anne.

    As for the whole bridezilla thing, if she’s the one who’s mananging the whole wedding then shouldn’t it be what she wants? The idea of a small wedding is what appeals to me instead of a large affair with way too many guests.

  8. Jazzmin says:

    I don’t know since I’ve never been married but I’ve heard of women who do not become “bridezillas” maybe planning a wedding magnifies what that woman already is. Is like winning the lottery, all that money just magnifies what an A-hole the person was before.

    • bluhare says:

      We got married within three weeks of deciding on the date, and my mom and sister planned it. I wore a dress and shoes I’d worn before.

      I will say, though, I wish I’d gone and at least tried on a bridal gown. I’ve never worn one.

      PS I did not write this to show you how wonderful I am! But your post does remind me to go buy some lottery tickets for tomorrow.

  9. Gia says:

    Anne is the new Julia. Great PR…all American Princess, but I agree that behind the scenes is very much dramarama.

  10. Maya says:

    Wow, do people actually say stuff like that in the comments when you write something they disagree with?

  11. lucy2 says:

    I’m kind of doubting the bridezilla stuff. I could see her being particular and wanting to get what she wants (who doesn’t) but I don’t see her being awful about it.

  12. Kathy says:

    This was probably mentioned in the last post, but here goes: If you are sleeping with someone else right before your engagement, I would think the possibility of a lasting marriage (or one even happening at all) is severely diminished.

    I believe her personal life (i.e. her romantic relationships with men) has always been way more sketchy than what is presented to the public.

    That said, I think she’s a great actress and I generally enjoy her in everything she does (even if everyone else around her sucks).

  13. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    I really would like Anne to get swept away by James Franco. I’m probably the only one here who feels that way, so let me outline a few things:
    1) Franco lets go of that whole douchey ART thing he keeps trying to push.
    2) Franco starts accepting more masculine roles..or just becomes more masculine in general. Overnight.
    3) Anne and this guy have a falling out because she is pretty Princess Anne who is too good for this no name (according to Gary Marshall).
    4) Anne remembers the last time she had a good laugh was when she and Franco co hosted the Oscars and there was real chemistry (pshh..i know..).
    5) Finally, Anne realizes what a hot manly man Franco is now and that he is super single and successful.

    Then there’s some flirting, some offstage sex, an accidental pregnancy, a shot gun wedding, and a life of bliss. Win for all!

    • normades says:

      Wow! I really can’t see that happening. I’m pretty sure they hate each other after the Oscar fiasco.

      I’d like to see her with someone a little bit more manly…Fassbender perhaps?

    • Eiramz says:

      I always liked them,( James F lost a colossal amount of cool points after the Oscars), so when I knew they were hosting the Oscars together I was like “This is it!”. I dont think it may be possible anymore :/

  14. The.princess.leia says:

    Raffaello Follieri is scheduled to get out of prison in May. Perhaps she wants to give him time to atone for his sins, show he’s a changed man & change the public perception of him and then he’ll win Anne back in some grand gesture. And America’s New Sweetheart will live happily ever after.
    Seriously, I don’t think she’s over Raff.

    • taxi says:

      Idk. She behaved at the time of his scandal as if she had personally been humiliated and duped. She dropped him in a flash & it might be hard for her to spin a reunion in a light flattering to her.

  15. Agnes says:

    her face bugs me for some reason, i can’t really pinpoint why.

    • Lexi says:

      Perhaps it’s because her features are disproportionate and she makes weird mouth movements ~ my 2 cents

      • Veruca says:

        Her nose doesn’t fit, right?

      • normades says:

        ALL her features are super-sized. It’s not just her nose. It’s her mouth, ears, eyes, everything!

        That said, I don’t think it’s unattractive.

      • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

        Yeah in Bride Wars, it looked as if everything under the flesh had been sucked out, leaving only the big features and skin. Thank god she put back on a couple of pounds since then.

  16. Marna says:

    This story is from Star magazine. Anything from that is 99% fiction. I wouldn’t be surprised if she became mildly bridezilla but anything from Star loses instant credibility with me. At least ITW has maybe a 25% chance of having some truth to the story, but Star? No.

  17. Aria says:

    Maybe becausa I’m from another culture I do not get surprised at long engagements. I’ve been engaged (I’m still am)for over three years and there are no wedding plans yet. So I cannot judged Anne.

    Regarding this gossip, I totally buy her being a Bridezilla. She seems super control freak to me. I don’t know who her boyfriend is but he looks too sweet and kind for her. I bet she’s the one wearing the pants in the relationship.

    As some of you said before, she is the new Julia Robert.

  18. NYC_girl says:

    I think she looks pretty in the pic with the fiance (although now I’m saying it like Holly Hunter in “Raising Arizona). I admit watching her princess movie when it comes on; I love Julie Andrews. Now I shall run away and hide.

  19. Ycnan says:

    Of course she is buying the bridesmaids dresses, SHE IS RICH! Geez, can you imagine if she didn’t, now that would be a bridezilla moment.

  20. Tazina says:

    The balance of power is too extreme here for this marriage to last. She has money; he doesn’t. He will be able to ride on her coat tails for only so long before she loses respect for him and dumps his cashless azz. It’s bound to happen. The best she can do is get an iron clad prenup in the meantime and remember that if she has his children, he will become a K-Fed, pulling in that nice support money every month.

    • Onyx XV says:

      I almost hate to agree with you, because that sounds so cynical, but I am a cynic as well and it also sounds like 100% truth. You are right – if the marriage happens, they have kids, then get divorced – he will be K-Fed 2.0, the slightly smarter, slightly better dressed version.

  21. Reece says:

    Interesting how this person labels her bridezilla-y but then calls her a generous bridezilla. Does not compute.

    Besides, paring down 200 people doesn’t sound bad. Your mom’s childhood friend who she only talks to once a year & you only met once when you were 8 doesn’t need to be at the wedding. When you start getting up to 200 from one side that’s exactly who it is.

  22. koko says:

    Lainey implied a little while ago that she and Christian Bale had a torrid but brief affair at the start of the Batman taping. Maybe she’s still holding out for something hotter.

    • Liberty says:

      InterestIng theory. Okay…imagine a day when she is suddenly forced to co-star with her polar opposite. He is….wait for it…..Gerard Butler. And she is: his final challenge.

  23. Elizabeth Rose says:

    His face looks like it’s photo shopped on in that picture, it’s freaking me out!

  24. T.C. says:

    This wedding is never taken place. Two year engagement is the first bad sign, just enough time to find someone new and get out.

  25. Briamatia says:

    I am having a two year engagement and will also be married in October 2013. While mine reasons are primarily financial and that my friends and family are going to have to fly half way across the world for the wedding, I don’t necessarily see a problem with theirs. As well as religious (auspicious years/auspicious months.

    For Ann projects are booked well in advance and to be honest planning a wedding is a bit of a nightmare, so a an almost two year wedding engagement is alright in my books. Look at those who get engaged 2 months after they have known each other and then bam marriage and then BAM reality hits. Living and sleeping together before marriage is like being married and should be done more often.
