'Get Smart' Adds Anne Hathaway's Man Trouble to Formula For Box-Office Glory
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 5:00 AM on June 20, 2008
Shame on anyone — anyone! — who would dare trivialize Anne Hathaway's recent break-up with entrepreneur and check-kiting hobbyist Raffaello Follieri as anything but a natural process of hearts drifting apart under the intense pressures of careers, fame and/or state investigations. And can't a nice girl just stay friendly with her notorious ex without facing insinuations she's manipulating their relationship on the week of her new film's release? We mean, really, Page Six — what's so wrong with that?
[T]here was word the recently split couple were planning to have dinner together at Cipriani. "It's very amicable. He still cares for her very much," said a source. The two were staying mum on their breakup while Hathaway continued making TV appearances hawking her new movie, Get Smart.
Melanie Bonvicino, a flack for Follieri, said the Italian businessman is "angered" by "repeated mischaracterizations" of their split. ... "It is worth noting, as you continue to attempt to scandalize a respected businessman and philanthropist, that the Follieri Foundation has vaccinated hundreds of children in Nicaragua and Honduras to date, in addition to recently rebuilding an orphanage in Brazil."
Not to mention his and Hathaway's selfless dedication to the Warner Bros. cause, which anticipates a $40 million donation from the American public in the next three days alone. Dissolved, incriminated, whatever — this is a pair of true saints.

Yeah, so, this one was sighing about how hard it is to promote a movie with her personal life in the news, literally 10 minutes after issuing a press release about her break-up. Hurray for Hollywood.

@Trixie from Toronto: Well, according to a certain person, women who have bad taste in men *must* be straight. At least, this was his argument with LiLo.

So, they break up to generate press for her new movie.
They're shocked when the cynical entertainment industry notices this.
So, to convince us that they're not using bad press to generate good press, they react to the bad press about the bad press to generate the good press by trying to use aforementioned press to create good press about vaccinations and South American countries.
I need to generate some sort of mind map to be sure, but I think there's irony somewhere in there.

@not.a.clever.name: Ha, I know that haircut! It's also, "I know you said you love my hair long and you'd be so sad if I ever cut it... well, fuck you! Take it all off!"

That haircut does not say "amicable split." It says "I fucking hate you so much, I'm going to give myself the worst haircut imaginable, just to spite you."

Rookie mistake, Anne. Next time, think "sexy highlights" or "flirty bangs" and not "Mom Bob".

The bob makes her quirky nose less noticeable.
