Here are some new photos of Anne Hathaway in NYC. She was with a friend and they went shopping at Haute Hippie. Annie has been popping up in NYC often enough over the past few weeks since the Met Gala, but these are the first candid photos we’ve had of her since she changed her hair to this dramatic blonde. While I enjoyed the blonde on the Met Gala red carpet, I’m not so sure about it in everyday life.

I was kind of hoping Annie would just be blonde for the Met Gala and she would go back to a brunette shade soon after, but as the weeks go on… I guess we have to acknowledge that this is her new look. Perhaps she’s keeping the blonde for her part in Christopher Nolan’s new sci-fi film, Interstellar? Annie will be working with Jessica Chastain, Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine, and Steven Spielberg is producing. Does bleach-blonde = futuristic sci-fi?

I hate to say it, but Anne needs to take some hair tips from Miley Cyrus – dark roots will make her blonde look so much better and less washed-out. That’s my advice for Annie. And I actually think she’s taking my advice, so I hope she listen to this.

Here are some new photos of Anne Hathaway at last night’s Tate Americas Foundation Artists Dinner in NYC. Annie wore Givenchy and this was her first red carpet since the Met Gala, when she revealed her dramatically different blonde look. While I was actually a fan of her total Met Gala look – the hair with the makeup and that black Valentino gown – I can’t say that this second blonded-up appearance is doing much for me. I kind of expected Anne to go back to brunette after the Met Gala, but I guess not. She’s going to try to keep the blonde for a while.

I’m trying to figure out what’s bugging me so much about Anne’s styling here. Anne has a problem with wearing too-light colors that wash her out, and even if she was a brunette, this pale pink wouldn’t work on her. But really, I guess the biggest problems are A) her eyebrow situation, which is now much too dark and B) Anne’s blonde needs some lowlights and… yes, some roots. It would go a long way to helping her look less washed out. Maybe when her dark roots come in, I’ll like the blonde more. I kind of want to mess up her hair with some product, and maybe spike it up or something. Anne told Vogue at the Met Gala that “I don’t know that you could tell it by looking at me, but Debbie Harry was (my inspiration).” Then punk it out! Don’t try to turn your blonde hair princess-y. It doesn’t work. Sigh… Annie needs my help.

As for Anne’s husband Adam Shulman… he’s just such a small man. And with his coloring, he would look better in this shade of pink.

I haven’t looked through ALL of the Met Gala photos, but from what I’ve seen, very few celebrities really had fun with the “Punk: From Chaos to Couture” theme. I’m not sure if Anne Hathaway qualifies? Anne came as a guest of Valentino – she’s ALL about Valentino these days, Valentino designed her wedding dress, she wears a lot of Valentino on red carpets, and she came close to wearing a Valentino gown for the Oscars. This particular Valentino gown is nothing special (ugh, feathers), but it acts as a blank canvas (sort of) for her dramatic hair change: Annie’s a blonde now! I don’t know if this was just something she did to be “punk” or whatever and she’ll change it in a week. It’s a pretty dramatic change for just the Met Gala, you know?

Who does Blonde Annie remind you of? I can’t put my finger on it. There’s some January Jones there. Maybe some young Brigitte Nielsen? While the blonde doesn’t suit Anne, it’s really not as bad as I thought it would be. It does make her look less princess-y and more edgy.

Guess who else radically changed up their hair for the Met Gala? Nicole Richie. Nicole went for (temporary?) white-blue-grey and a really dark fake-tan. She wore Topshop. Can I just say? I actually love this dress. This might be one of my favorite dresses that I’ve seen so far. As for her overall look – I like that she tried something different and visually interesting for the punk theme.

Here are some new photos of Anne Hathaway arriving at LAX this weekend (the ones where she’s wearing blue jeans) and attending a birthday party in Hollywood (the all-white outfit). When Anne arrived at LAX, TMZ’s photographers/videographers pursued her and Anne didn’t want to talk to them, so she jumped into the first SUV she saw. It was not hers. But she still didn’t get out – she asked the complete stranger driving the SUV if she could stay there until her car came. TMZ has the video here. They were probably going to ask her about how she’s a terrible pothead who eats solids. The scandal!

Meanwhile, have you heard the rumors that Annie is going to be on Broadway? There are some stories going around about yet another revival of Cabaret, with Annie in the Sally Bowles role played by Liza Minnelli in the film, and perhaps Alan Cumming returning to the role originated (in the movie) by Joel Grey. Cumming has already been there, done that with Cabaret – and he won a Tony for the last revival he took part in. Anne’s publicist denies that she’s in talks to do the revival, but I kind of don’t believe that. I think it would be an interesting project for her to undertake, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if she considered it.

But! Showbiz 411 claims that Anne has just signed on to do an independent film called SongOne which will begin production soon. Anne won’t be singing, but she’ll play the girlfriend of a rock star and she’ll costar with Irish musician Johnny Flynn. Sounds like an interesting project, I guess. I thought she would be doing more blockbusters or something.

The condescension and judgment are thick in this National Enquirer story. I’m not saying that the meat of the story isn’t true, it’s just that the “source” is a real bitch while interpreting what went down. So, the basic gist is that Anne Hathaway is a terrible pothead. She’s terrible because she’s a pothead and she doesn’t want anyone to know that she’s a terrible pothead, so she puts herself out there like a hyperactive theater geek/princess. The Enquirer got a glimpse of some photographs of Anne during her honeymoon last year, and it seems like she spent her entire honeymoon stoned out of her skull, eating lots of food, not wearing makeup, and draped on some man who was not her new husband. Is anyone else thinking that this story makes Anne sound a lot cooler?

Anne Hathaway is caught up in an eye-popping drug shocker! In a series of bombshell photographs seen by the Enquirer, Anne smokes what looks like a huge hand-rolled marijuana cigarette during her honeymoon last October. Anne also drapes herself over another man and shows off a mouthful of partially chewed food in the career-shaking pictures.

“In one photo Anne is seen puffing on what appears to be a massive marijuana blunt with her arms wrapped around an unidentified man,” a source who say the photos told The Enquirer. “The guy is red-eyed and laughing and they’re both wearing Mardi Gras beads. It’s clear they’re having a great time partying.”

Another photos shows a droopy-eyed Anne sitting at a dinner table holding a joint, and with a huge glass of white wine in front of her.

“Anne isn’t wearing any makeup, her eyes are red and her pupils are dilated and glassy… she looks like she’s been partying… although she likes to project a goody-goody image, these photos are not at all what you’d expect from the prim and proper person Anne tries to portray in public life.”

Friends worry about the influence of husband Adam Shulman.

“He has a degree in theater and resents that he can’t get a break while Anne and their mutual friends are so successful. He’s a terribly unhappy and troubled guy. Everyone’s hoping Anne will ditch him.”

[From The Enquirer, print edition]

I’m not worried about the pot. At all. If she wants to smoke a blunt on her honeymoon (or any other time), God bless. I’m not worried about the eating. If she wants to eat, God bless. I’m not worried about her projection of one goody-goody image while simultaneously being a terrible pothead who eats solid food in her private life. All of that is fine with me. But I do think it’s weird that she was draped all over some random dude on her honeymoon. And I do worry that Adam Shulman is… well, something is bugging me, I can’t put my finger on it. I don’t trust dudes in skinny jeans. And at the end of the day, I think Annie just settled. I think she wanted to get married, and she said yes to the first dude who asked her (much like Kim Kardashian’s predicament).

Here is a photo of Anne Hathaway with her dog Esmeralda back in November of last year. This was part of Anne’s Oscar campaign. She totally famewhored her poor side-eyeing puppy. Much like Ben Affleck was constantly out with his dimpled children, Anne was constantly out with her husband and/or her dog. But now that the Oscar campaign is over, when is the last time anyone has seen Esmeralda? Poor Esme. How old is Esmeralda? I have no idea. Star Magazine claims that Anne think Esme is “half-dead” and that Anne wants to get a fresh-faced puppy to go with her new image of a young Oscar-winning actress. This story is totally harsh.

Hathahaters are about to have even more fuel for their anti-Anne fire: Star has learned that the much-maligned Anne wants to replace her faithful Labrador, Esmeralda, because the pup isn’t hip enough for Hollywood.

“Anne really wants a ‘stylish young puppy’ she can play and interact with… she says she just can’t bond with a dog that’s half-dead – it’s not quite the glamorous look she’s going for now that she’s won an Oscar,” fumes an insider.

While Anne’s rep denies the rumor, Star’s source claims that even Anne’s husband, Adam Shulman, supports her heartless plan.

“It just shows out of out of touch Anne is getting. Friends think it’s horrifically sad and worry that her obsession with her image is taking over everything – even her humanity.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Yes, as Star Mag notes, Anne’s rep did deny it. I think it’s possible that Star is twisting a perfectly normal story into something horribly anti-Hathaway too – like, Anne might have been telling friends that she wants a new puppy because why not? It’s not like there’s a law against only having one dog. So maybe Anne wants a new puppy but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t love Esme. Except for the fact that we haven’t seen poor Esme in months. New theory: Anne is a MONSTER!!!

Here are some nice pics of Anne in LA yesterday. She picked up some coffee and some groceries. I kind of like her track pants and the sweater says “I just woke up, need coffee.” Is she wearing the sweater backwards?

I’m glad at least one celebrity is taking my advice! Anne Hathaway is doing really well, post Oscar “debacle”. She isn’t giving interviews, she isn’t crying woe-is-me all over the place. She isn’t flashing her Oscar Nips nor her Oscar Beav. She steps out for happy couple photo-ops with her husband, and even some Brave Solo Annie photo-ops too when Adam isn’t around. And most importantly, Anne is quietly signing on to films. She’s already signed on to do voice work for Rio 2 (an animated sequel to the popular Rio), and she’s apparently going to do a film with Sam Rockwell called “Laggies” or something. But this newly announced project is the gold standard of post-Oscar career moves: she’s going to reunite with Christopher Nolan, who directed her in The Dark Knight Rises.

Anne Hathaway is in talks to star alongside Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar, Christopher Nolan’s latest picture, THR has confirmed.

Nolan is making the movie for Paramount, although Warner Bros. is a co-producer on the project.
The top-secret story involves time travel and alternate dimensions and sees a group of explorers travel through a wormhole. The script, written by Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan, is based on scientific theories developed by Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, gravitational physicist and astrophysicist at Caltech.

A Nov. 7, 2014, start date has been scheduled.

If a deal makes, Hathaway will reteam with the man who directed her in last year’s The Dark Knight Rises. This is the actress’ first move since winning a supporting actress Oscar for her work in Les Miserables.

It sounds like one of those “deep” sci-fi movies, with a dash of The Butterfly Effect (right?!). “Deep” sci-fi movies can be hit or miss – I disliked Prometheus, but I think I’m the only person around here who enjoyed Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris. Hopefully Interstellar won’t be “attractive white people looking at a weird planetoid and discussing the meaning of life”. Hopefully some stuff will blow up and there will be an actual plot. Since it’s Nolan, I have faith. And this is such a smart career move for Anne.

Isn’t it weird that Matthew McConaughey is now getting offered prestigious films these days? Four years ago, if you told me Annie and Matthew were going to work together, I would have said, “What, they couldn’t get Kate Hudson for some stupid rom-com?”

Also – a November start date? I guess Anne isn’t going to be following one piece of my advice: get pregnant right away! She’s going to put that off for another year so she can work with Nolan again. Which is fine. But a pregnancy would have been even better for her image, I’m just sayin’.

These are some photos of Anne from earlier this week – I do NOT understand that outfit. That outfit is not helping you, girl.

Here are some photos of Anne Hathaway and her husband in Brooklyn a few days ago. I’m not sure what Anne’s current strategy is, but I think it’s along the lines of “don’t say anything directly, but give people some happy-couple photo-ops”. If she announces a pregnancy this year, I really do think all will be “forgiven” for her, although I’m not sure that Annie has erred so badly that she needs to be “forgiven”. She doesn’t need to apologize for anything, you know? Her Oscar campaign and Oscar speech were JUST annoying, she didn’t do anything “wrong”.

As Bedhead covered earlier this week, James Franco was on Howard Stern’s show and The Artist discussed Anne Hathaway. To be fair to Franco, Howard brought it up and Howard said some of the most insulting things about Anne, but to be fair to Howard, Franco didn’t disagree with him. Franco talked about the fallout from his and Anne’s horrible Oscar co-hosting duties, saying: “Anne and I made up, by the way. Let’s just get that on the record. It was a really hard time after the Oscars. She wasn’t mad at me, I don’t think . . . she didn’t say she was mad at me for what happened . . . The critics were so nasty.” He also name-dropped the “Hatha-haters” too. It was… unpleasant. He didn’t really throw her under the bus, but he didn’t go out of his way to defend her or be a gentleman about it either (especially considering that more people hated HIM not her following the Oscars). So what does Anne think about Franco’s recent comments? According to Radar, she’s not pleased:

James Franco said Anne Hathaway wasn’t going to be happy that he was discussing their strained relationship during his interview with Howard Stern on Monday – and he was right! RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the Spring Breakers actor’s chat with the shock jock didn’t go unnoticed by the Les Miserables star who is fuming that Franco has drudged up their past yet again in a radio interview.

Anne, 30, just can’t understand why James, 34, couldn’t just say “no comment.” Worse still, she thinks Franco was using her name just to help promote his latest movie!

“Anne can’t believe James has openly discussed the past and how they aren’t really on talking terms anymore,” a source tells Radar. “She thinks he did it purely to drum up publicity for Spring Breakers. But, as far as she’s concerned, James pulled an unprofessional move by talking about her during the interview with Howard Stern.

“Stern did provoke Franco, but he didn’t have to respond. And she couldn’t believe that he said he understands why people dislike her. Anne would never air her dirty laundry in public and is intensely private. It’s opened up old wounds, is totally unnecessary and she’s fuming,” the source reveals.

[From Radar]

Again, this is just coming from “sources”. I would assume that Anne probably is kind of pissed off at Franco, but she’s smart enough to realize that many people think Franco is a total douche, and his comments were off-side, so she doesn’t need to work to prove her point. I don’t believe Anne would suddenly claim (incorrectly) to be “intensely private” when she was shilling everything about herself for the sake of that Oscar. So… a mixed bag. My recommendations for Annie (who I still like, thank you very much): keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t comment. Stay out of the spotlight for a few more months and whenever you give your next interview, don’t cry or throw a tantrum. Own your nerdiness and theater-geekdom with humor and self-awareness. You’ll be fine!

PS… Is Adam wearing a lady’s coat?!

In the aftermath of the Oscars, the focus was on the two female winners of the evening — Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway. Everyone pretty much forgot about the dudes, right? Well, the responses towards the two couldn’t be more different, as everyone loved Jennifer for tripping her way up the stairs and forgetting to thank Harvey Weinstein, and everyone attacked Anne Hathaway for giving an (obviously) carefully rehearsed speech and basically conducting the most annoying Oscar campaign in recent years. I agree with Kaiser that Anne wasn’t really that bad during her campaign, but she was just everywhere at once and on the cover of every magazine with a Taylor Swift-esque feigned innocence and a fake little girl voice in every interview.

Somehow, JLaw managed to also participate in a rather aggressive campaign, yet one was left with the feeling that she’d be a great drinking companion. Collectively, we wanted more from JLaw, and we wanted Anne to take an extended break out of the spotlight. Once the awards were handed out and the afterglow faded, Ann was left crying nonstop because of the backlash, and JLaw immediately hopped on an airplane to Hawaii where she smoked some doobs. These two represent polar opposites of the Hollywood spectrum, and NYMag put together a great piece on why people feel so differently about Anne and JLaw.

Even though Jennifer is now ping-ponging between reshoots for Catching Fire and playing Christian Bale’s wife in Abscam, she’s still got some previous interviews that are floating to the surface. In a talk with Fabulous mag (via Us Weekly), Jennifer discusses her own personality in front of the media. She basically calls herself a rabid chihuahua who has now idea what she’s talking about until after the fact. Again, she comes off pretty cute and likeable even while claiming that she’s a mess:

Jennifer Lawrence’s candid interviews have earned her more than a few fans, famous and not, who say her unfiltered sense of humor and laid-back personality are a refreshing change from the Hollywood norm. But the actress insists that her seemingly carefree demeanor is actually the opposite, and that she’s a ball of nerves whenever she’s the center of attention at an awards ceremony or movie premiere. The only place she feels she’s really herself, she says, is when she’s playing someone else.

“I’m afraid I’m going to go my whole life being scared like a chihuahua,” she admits in the new issue of the U.K.’s Fabulous magazine. “It’s not my comfort zone. Making movies is where I belong. I shouldn’t be heard just talking. So, when I’m doing movies, I’m really happy. That’s where I’m comfortable, that’s my home. When you put me on a red carpet or on a stage, I turn into chihuahua Jennifer.”

“Chihuahua Jennifer” is apparently a talker. “I have no control over what comes out of my mouth,” the Silver Linings Playbook star says of the candor everyone loves so much. “I would probably turn into a mute if I read what I said.”

That delicate balance of unguardedness and self-awareness is part of what keeps the 22-year-old Oscar winner — who split from British actor Nicholas Hoult in January — grounded. The other part is her family and non-famous friends. “Definitely my family is not the kind of family that would ever let me turn into an a–hole or anything like that, so I am fortunate to have them,” she tells Fabulous.

“I don’t ever walk around feeling famous, I walk around feeling the exact same way I have walked around my entire life, but it’s not until I talk to somebody and see in their eyes that I’m different. It makes me feel weird,” she says. “A lot of things that I didn’t even think could ever be possible for me have happened, all in a year. It’s been overwhelming, but in a wonderful way.”

If it were almost any other female actress claiming to still feel like a normal person despite evidence to the contrary, we’d all be rolling our eyes, right? When it comes out of the mouth of JLaw though, it’s very easy to believe she honestly feels that way. I mean, it’s hard to fake the way she behaved in that famous Jack Nicholson video. She’s just a fun girl and talented actress, and somehow the two states are not mutually exclusive. Clearly, she’s still telling the same fart jokes that she did before she was famous. Whereas I get the feeling that poor Anne doesn’t fart at all, which could be part of the problem.

Once again, I’m using photos of JLaw in her latest Calvin Klein look at the VF party. I can’t get enough of these booty shots.

After last year’s Oscars ceremony — which was disastrously hosted by James Franco and Anne Hathaway — it was widely speculated that after Franco had completely given up and phoned it in, Anne was (understandably) upset about having to carry the whole show. Indeed, Us Weekly spoke to a source who claimed the two hosts grew to “hate each other” during rehearsals, and that feeling continued throughout the live program itself. Then James threw a big post-show hissy fit and hopped on a plane to New York, thereby skipping his own after party because he was so upset about the entire affair. Because it wasn’t ART at all.

Now Franco, who is still inexplicably promoting Spring Breakers, has given an interview to Howard Stern, who wanted to know all about what Franco thought of Hathaway in light of both last year’s co-hosting debacle and this year’s Oscar-win backlash. As far as Franco’s answer is concerned, let’s just say the douche still shines through the feigned attempt at diplomacy. Oh, and he talks a little bit about turning down Lindsay Lohan’s offer for a blowie. Or something like that:

James Franco says he made up with Anne Hathaway after hosting the Oscars — but we’ll see if that lasts after his recent appearance on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM radio show! The Spring Breakers actor was questioned by Stern on Monday, March 25 about his relationship with Hathaway after their highly-criticized 2011 Oscar hosting gig.

“I’m happy to revisit this, but you’re going to have to take the lead,” Franco, 34, warned Stern. “If you’re going to talk about it, you’re going to have to give your opinions . . . She does not want me talking about this, but okay.”

“Everyone sort of hates Anne Hathaway, and I’ve explained that I do too and I don’t know even know why sometimes,” Stern explained. “She’s just so affected [and] actress-y that even when she wins an award she’s out of breath, and then she has the standard joke that sounds like it’s [been] written [for her]. And it all seems so scripted and acted.”

“She comes off like the goody two-shoes actress and it’s just fun to sort of hate her,” the radio host added. “Hate is a strong word . . . but [I] dislike her, even though she is a great actress. Is that accurate?”

“I’m not an expert on — I guess they’re called ‘Hatha-haters’– but I think that’s what maybe triggers it,” Franco agreed.

“Are you still friendly with her?” Stern asked.

“We haven’t talked in a while,” the Oz the Great and Powerful actor admitted of his relationship with the now Oscar-winning actress. But he later added, “Anne and I made up, by the way. Let’s just get that on the record.”

“It was a really hard time after the Oscars,” Franco added. “She wasn’t mad at me, I don’t think . . . she didn’t say she was mad at me for what happened . . . The critics were so nasty.”

Franco also addressed reports that he turned down having sex with troubled actress Lindsay Lohan. “I don’t want to like brag about it,” he said. “I don’t know how that got out.”

“She was having issues even then, so you feel weird,” Franco explained. “Honestly, she was a friend. I’ve met a lot of people that are troubled and sometimes you don’t want to do that.”

What’s his relationship status now? “Let’s say I’m dating,” he shared. “I’m getting older. I would like a long-term relationship.”

[From Us Weekly]

Well, of course Lindsay probably offered to have sex with James. Doesn’t she basically offer the same to anyone who can get her a gig or possibly give her tax-free sums of money? This probably happened while James was shooting that arty REM video starring Lohan’s lips, and while he claims to have initially tried to save her from himself, I guess there’s some things that super multitasker James Franco can’t just can’t do in life.

Oh, and James also asked his grandma to make a video asking everyone to go see her brilliant grandson in Spring Breakers. Sorry grandma, but I’m gonna pass on that one.
