Boobs. That‘s all I saw for the first ten seconds. Anne Hathaway has a really lovely rack, doesn‘t she? I have no idea how those puppies are not popping out of that corset. Anyway, these are photos from Anne‘s appearance on and in GQ UK‘s March 2010 issue. I think she‘s promoting her part in Valentine‘s Day…? But she‘s also got Tim Burton‘s Alice In Wonderland coming out in March, so it could conceivably be for that too. Although all little Annie seems to be concerned with is playing the part of the bombshell. The interview excerpt online at GQ UK is all about how Anne is really sexy, yet women love her. There’s lots of comparing-and-contrasting to Angelina Jolie. Hathaway even talks about giving the perfect “forceful” screen-kiss in The Age of Jolie: “It’s a totally different experience. But really you have to be Angelina Jolie to pull that off and still look good. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I ain’t no Angie.”
From Disney teen princess to divine ruler in Tim Burton’s new Alice In Wonderland blockbuster: Anne Hathaway is a true Hollywood blue blood. Paradoxically, she’s also the go-to girl-next-door, as smart as she is sexy and as admired by women as she is adored by men. Here, Queen Anne grants GQ an exclusive audience and talks Scientology, Scrabble, quantum physics… oh, and the secret art of on-screen undressing.
Anne Hathaway is no Angelina Jolie. The big difference? She’s non-threatening. Or at least she is from your seat at the local multiplex. You see, women love Anne Hathaway. Ask any woman within reach. Ask a friend. Ask the pretty waitress in Scott’s. Ask your mother; your sister; your grandmother. See, told you – they simply adore her. Can you ever imagine your girlfriend calling out (as mine did), “Tell her that I love her!” as you head off to catch a plane to go and have lunch with, say, Miss Jolie? I very much doubt it. Angelina is far too threatening; too dangerous; too wily.
But little, doe-eyed, butter-wouldn’t-melt Annie Hathaway? She’s so cute! She’s a girl’s girl, she’s every woman’s BFF. She’s chummy. She’s fun. She’s Carrie Bradshaw’s crib notes on what girlfriends are there for. She’s the woman who had every girl’s dream job (and wardrobe) in The Devil Wears Prada. She’s Becoming Jane. She’s Bride Wars. She’s The Princess Diaries, for Christ’s sake! She’s every insecure, needy woman’s Empress of Empathy. She’s a large tub of chocolate-chip, cookie-dough ice cream with Maltesers sprinkles. She’s Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany’s. She’s the Coldplay singles box sets rather than Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster. She’s safe. She’s sweet. Right? Right?
Well, if Anne Hathaway – 27, from the quiet, affluent suburb of Millburn, New Jersey – is so prim, so naive, so wide-eyed and so innocent, then what on God’s earth is she doing sitting opposite me, mid-way through a long, hot, lazy lunch in Los Angeles, flashing her hazel eyes while gently tonguing, yes, tonguing, the back of her china-white palm like a tip-hungry stripper at Le Crazy Horse? It’s an act that’s head-swimmingly discombobulating. The actress’ supposed façade of niceness has been pulled back – just for a split second – to reveal something far, far wilder. For Anne it’s her very own SuBo moment.
“We were talking about kissing,” I offer clumsily, shattering the crackling sexual menace in a voice that, on hearing the words aloud, suddenly sounds about as come-hither as a car’s sat-nav command. Anne, perhaps sensing my inability to form a proper sentence, takes the lead: “You have to leave your mouth open a little bit…” she purrs, making me squirm into uncharted levels of prudishness, closing her eyes and smudging her plump red lips against her own left hand, which she’s holding tenderly with her right as she might the face of a co-star. “Open up,” Anne suggests breathlessly as the earth seems to spin ever so slightly faster on its axis. “More, more, ever so lightly… otherwise you’re going to be getting smooshy,” she advises. “Now… slow it down… just a little bit…”
Sadly, here endeth the lesson on “How To Screen Kiss Successfully With Anne Hathaway”. I come round, somewhat sheepishly, my cheeks flushed and my eyes glazed. “If you’re both unattached and you get along, of course kissing in a movie is fun,” she tells me. “But you can never get truly deep down and into it. Well, I can’t. Jennifer Garner – now that girl can movie kiss. I gotta say that girl can really give it some up there…”

Well, bless her heart. I guess. I don’t really have a problem with Anne, I just don’t think she’s this sweet-as-pie, aw-shucks girl that she wants to project (at times). I think she’s very talented, she’s very smart, she’s very ambitious, and she’s got some really good people working on her management team. How else do you explain Hathaway coming out of the Raffaello Follieri scandal unscathed? But she’s moved on, and moved on very well. So good for her. Vixen works on her.

I think she thinks she is way sexier than she really is. The expression on her face in the cover photo made me laugh…trying really really hard to look like a Victoria Secret model.

ask any woman and they will tell you they love Anne?
Um, I think not. Never liked her. Mediocre actress (at best) who comes off as full of herself.
And yes, she looks awkward trying to be sexy.

I think she’s just still trying to come out from under the whole Princess Diaries image. She’s done a lot of grown up roles since then, but it still gets mentioned occasionally, and I think she’s trying to assert herself as an adult. Whether it’s working or not, I don’t know.
I do think she is very talented. She was so good in Rachel Getting Married, though I hated the movie, her performance was excellent.

She looks like a silly girl trying to be sexy. And, no Annie, you are not Angelina Jolie but good for you to say that in an interview since that guarantees your interview will be picked up by the media.

I really do like Anne! Yes, she is no seductress, but she is very pretty and she looks sexy in these pics. It is a side of her I haven’t seen. I agree with the author that she is non-threatening to women, and men think she’s cute.
She was just wonderful in Rachel Getting Married, even better than in Brokeback Mountain. Bride Wars…ugh…Devel Wears Prada — definitely, she was great in that!
Not sure about the whole BF thing. I mean, I can’t say that she definitely would know the inner workings of his investment firm/ponzi scheme. From what I read, he tried to impress her with his cash, but who can say she knew the in’s and out’s of how he got it? Maybe, maybe not.

Just saw this story on the nypost site:
Legal papers filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court show that prosecutors are taking ownership of nearly 30 valuable items seized from real-estate fraudster Rafaello Follieri and “recovered . . . from an individual who received them from the defendant.”
Hathaway’s soon-to-be-forfeited bling includes two Rolex watches, a five-strand, pearl-beaded necklace, two rings and a Louis Vuitton box.
Follieri’s stash consists of a dozen pricey watches, a Cartier figurine and a Tiffany clock

I really liked Anne in Bride Wars and Get Smart. But she just doesn’t scream “sexy actress”. I think she’s a beautiful girl and as long as she keeps her head on straight (i.e. her team keeps her in check) she’ll be fine. LOL

The day you convince me a Milburn, New Jersey girl is naive and innocent is the day I believe her image, and not a moment earlier. Never going to happen.

Nobody who gets very far in Hollywood is “innocent”… That industry is filled with loose morals, deficient scruples, and generally bad people. You have to be cut-throat.
Also, I am a woman, and I can definitively say Anne Hathaway annoys me. Bride Wars was an epic crapfest, she paled in comparison to Rosemarie DeWitt in Rachel Getting Married, and has generally given very mediocre, middle-of-the-road performances throughout her career.
So how has she gotten so far and stayed so innocent? Simple- she’s full of shit.

Based on the pictures inside the magazine, it looks to me like they photoshopped the corset on the cover to cut the top to look lower. The cup is smaller than in the magazine, and her bust looks unnatural based on where the bustier ends. Then they shrunk her body in width and overall. Her head looks gigantic. (Also La Tyra might point out another no-neck actress.)
At this point, I don’t know why they don’t just have a cartoon of anime Anne (or other celebs/models) on the cover. Less expensive than Photoshop and about as realistic.

I love her- and I think she’s sexier than Jolie.

I think Anne Hathaway is utterly gorgeous, but she really needs to put on at least 20 or 30 pounds. I’m sure they monkeyed with her image on the cover of that magazine, but she looks ridiculously thin and her boobs don’t really look very big at all to me.
The “Princess Diaries” movies were largely watchable because of her, I thought. She also did a good job in “Ella Enchanted,” which was a pretty terrible movie. Isn’t she supposed to be playing Judy Garland in a future movie?

@Ally – I agree. They might as well start putting cartoons on covers with all the photoshopping they do.

I’m not buying the innocent thing either. I don’t understand these celebs pretending to be so down-to-earth. If that were true then what was she doing with Follieri. Yuck. And I do like here work and think she is very pretty, but why does every celebrity have to pose in a black corset? Aren’t there other ways to be sexy?

she tries “too hard” on this pix!
but i remember her quote (in Esquire or US GQ) when she said she loved the sodomy! LOL

I like Anne. She seems like she’d be a lot of fun to know in real life.

I think she’s smart, beautiful and talented.
She’s also funny and has humility.
Well, that’s five things she’s got that very few other actresses her age have even ONE of.
I saw an interview with her and Kate Hudson once. Kate Hudson came off as a pretentious, condescending twat and Hathaway tried to jolly her through the interview and clearly outstripped her intelligence by miles. She seems genuinely sweet.

I don’t see the need for the Angelina Jolie comparisons. Totally not necessary. But that’s the way the world turns I guess, mention Angie and presto! Instant media coverage. Just look at the headline on this topic for instance!
That said, Ann looks good. I hope she doesn’t ‘skinny-up’ anytime in the future, she’s great the way she is.

Love her, think she has done everything -management wise – as well as you say too. and agree 100% that while the writer has caught on to one of the many reasons “women love Anne Hathaway”, it is also, because (as you said) she can be a vixen too. Maybe she is just more real than the rest.
ps- kate hudson is a pretentious condescending twat- excellent descriptors, She-who-must-not…

She seems nice to me. Not naive or innocent, no. But in all her interviews she comes across as genuine.

WHY does every woman have to be compared to Jolie? It’s insulting. And, saying that women don’t like Jolie because she’s threatening is rather insipid. Women who don’t like other women because they see them as threatening don’t have very much going on upstairs. There are many reasons why to like/not like Jolie/Hathaway without resorting to explanations of personal ego and narcissism. It’s like saying we all have Queen Bee personalities, and we only like girls who won’t threaten our status. UGH!

I would tell my husband to tell Jolie that I loved her. Then again, I would probably run him over trying to get to her.
I always thought there was something a little bit off with Anne’s face, but I’m really starting to enjoy her. I thought she was very pretty in Get Smart. She seems intelligent and nice although I don’t think she’s as innocent as her media image portrays her to be. When I saw these pictures, I thought she looked like Liv Tyler.

@whatever: I totally agree.
For the ones saying Anne is not sexy and shouln’t try: If you are a young actress in Hollywood, you have to be sexy if you want to make it big. Maybe not too much (à la Megan Fox), but alwayas a bit. It’s the law in Hollywood: all the actresses get to get notice because of her sexuallity.

Poor Anne. Usually if someone name-drops Angelina, they get 300% more attention than they would have otherwise. It doesn’t seem to be working for her though… she’s still as boring as white bread.

I’m with you on the good people working for her. That was some subtle and effective damage control after the slimy boyfriend incident. With that said, it’s nice that she has a nice image. When she’s not really that innocent at all.

Millburn’s nice. Moderately upscale. There’s a few naive people there. Maybe.

AH is an ok actress but I think she’s very limited to the type of roles she will play since ‘she looks’ too nice to play anything else
No one famous, especially in Hollywood is too innocent and nice. It’s just an image-look what happened to Tiger Woods
