If you were a Hollywood actress who recently went through a well-documented breakup with your fiance because he was arrested by the FBI for fraud, it makes sense that you'd be sick and tired of being asked about it during interviews while promoting your movies, right? So it's more than a little surprising to read the details of Anne Hathaway's next project, as reported today by Variety:
Warner Bros. has set Anne Hathaway to star and Burr Steers to direct the romantic comedy “The Fiance.” Studio is eyeing a March production start.Oh, it gets better...
Hathaway will play a woman who cancels wedding plans and breaks up with her seemingly perfect fiance so she can try to figure out who she really is. Her meddling parents try to patch things up between the pair, making it impossible for her to move on.You have got to be kidding me. You'd think Hathaway would do any project that would help her move past this summer's scandal, but instead she decides to do a movie called Fiance that involves a shocking breakup in which the guy is "seemingly" perfect? I hope she's prepared to spend another year talking about her relationship with Raffaello Follieri while he's sitting in prison. This is essentially the celebrity news version of punching yourself in the face.
UPDATE: Aforementioned ex-boyfriend just got a 4 1/2 year prison sentence.
Here's Hathaway in London at a recent special screening for her latest film, Rachel Getting Married...
