Pink Eye, Lying Boyfriends And Snot: A Love Story Starring Anne Hathaway And Steve Carell
Posted by Molly Friedman at 4:05 AM on June 10, 2008
Many of us learned more than we needed to about that trendy college dorm infection known as pink eye from Knocked Up and Stephen Colbert. In the elegant Apatow flick, we learn that farting on pillows will cause it, and on a recent Colbert Report, Stephen noted that farting on your boss's computer is not cool, because of the e. coli and the, well, okay we're done. But sadly the itchy inflammation is in the headlines once again thanks to Anne Hathaway, who delighted reporters recently by recalling her snotty, puss-filled, tear-blubbering kissing scene with Steve Carell while shooting Get Smart. As she said to Steve at the time, "My eye is red, puffy and dripping green — I'm snotty, and I'm just like 'Come here!'" Though Anne blames the irritation on sinus problems and the like, we wouldn't be surprised if Anne's slime actually came from her slimeball of a beau, considering a piece in today's NY Post reveals the lawbreaker is in trouble yet again:
As the Post reports today, Hathaway's gel-happy boyfriend Raffaello Follieri is under investigation by NY's Attorney General for undisclosed issues regarding one of the many charity organizations his Follieri Foundation. As you may recall, Raffaello was sued for bouncing a ginormous check for unpaid PR dues back in April. And just a over a year ago, celebrity groupie Ron Burkle claimed the greaser had used part of the billionaire playboy's investments in a Follieri church group to take Anne on private jets and essentially pay his way towards remaining her boyfriend. With today's news marking strike three on Follieri's shady financial rap sheet, we're not too upset that Anne still hasn't dumped the (inevitably jailbound) jerk; maybe, just maybe, the goopy eye bacteria that made its way into Steve's mouth also created a speed bump in Follieri's jet-setting schedule, too.

@SanFranBetsu: I know at least a dozen women with 10 years or better on your estimate, and still they chase bad boys. Why? Damned if I know, but I'm getting sick of hearing "he treats me so bad!" Dump the asshole if you're sick of it, stop expecting him to "change." 'Cause the only thing he'll change is you - for a younger, tighter model!

@SanFranBetsu: I have had some good female friends who STILL have them, and they aren't dumb.

@CourageousCoward: 15 years old. That's it. After that you're just a moron much like the aforementioned moronic bimbos.

As one of the greatest dorks that has ever, or will ever, exist, I say that the whole bad boy thing is hugely overrated. I can name all the vice presidents and all 50 state capitals in reverse alphabetical order, and that alone should make me desirable enough to any woman in the world.
I like how Anne got out (or was told to get out for her own sake) of the foundation just before the shit hit the fan. Good timing.

I'm gonna say after the 7th grade, if you are still going after the "bad boys" then you get what you deserve. In the case of Pam, a gnarly STD and Denise, a pig farm.

Ladies, please weigh in on the statute of limitations for "bad boy" boyfriends.
Pam Anderson and Denise Richards excepted, at what age does it simply become reprehensible to be seen with one?

What if we like the bad boys who are good underneath their tough exterior? Like a Han Solo...

@OldSpinDoc: Don't expect the boyfriends not to be bad. Nothing wrong with a himbo, as long as you don't expect him to be Rimbaud too.

Raffaello Follieri must have the "dick of death" for Anne to be putting up with this lame ass behavior...

"Puss-filled" and "pus-filled" are two wildly different words with wildly different meanings. But, both pique my interest enough to read that post.
Still kinda wish is WAS "puss"-filled, though.

@Juancho: @TheQuestion: The question was, what's the age of limitation? I said 15. Sorry, if you can't pick a mate that is right for you, or at least avoid those who are bad for you, you are a moron.

@TheStarterWife: Exactly. And they aren't "bad", they are just misunderstood.
