With the millions of dollars Italian con man Raffaello Follieri (a.k.a. Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend) cheated investors out of you’d think he’d have enough to buy a clue. The 30-year-old businessman, who went from nearly wedding the charming young actress to serving prison time for fraud, is apparently having a hard time adjusting to life in federal jail. According to court documents, Follieri has a litany of complaints about his current housing situation. Hathaway’s ex reportedly had his lawyer send a letter to a judge this week complaining about the Brooklyn facility he is currently doing time in. “Mr. Follieri reports … Continue reading

Get Smart (2008)

Would you believe … that this is a great movie with a fitting tribute to the original series, but a refreshing look at intelligence and comedy all in one package? Get Smart is a fun film that combines intelligence, sight gags and physical humor blend together to create an entertaining film that doesn’t take itself seriously and doesn’t ask the audience to either. Popcorn Humor I enjoyed the original series when I was a kid. It was fun and it was funny. Barbara Feldon was easy to admire and aspire to as the smart, savvy and beautiful Agent 99.

Who’s Not Giving Birth in Hollywood

The rumors are just that claims actress Sarah Michelle Gellar. The former “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star insists that despite reports by various publications she is not about to become a mom anytime soon.

The Grammy-nominated artist says she won’t let a few metal bars and her bright orange jail-issued jumpsuit stop her from following through on her wedding plans. Remy Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith, had planned to marry her fiancé, fellow rapper Papoose long before she was convicted last month of assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion and sent to New York’s Rikers Island jail. The 26-year-old performer remains behind bars as she awaits her sentencing for shooting a friend she is … Continue reading

Celebs’ New Gigs—-Anne’s an Ambassador and Suri’s a Polar Bear?

Frankly, I am surprised that it took so long for a cosmetics company to hire Anne Hathaway. Even before she made a name for herself in “The Devil Wears Prada” I always thought she had one of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood. Her skin is flawless (at least it appears to be in the shots I’ve seen) and her smile is infectious. She just has a fresh look about her. Now it appears execs at Lancome are giving the actress the recognition she deserves. Following in the footsteps of the company’s past famous faces, Kate Winslet and Clive Owen, … Continue reading

Young Hollywood Battles Depression

Is it just me or have you noticed that this month’s entertainment magazines are all touting “exclusive” interviews with members of Hollywood’s younger set who are going public with their battles with depression? Several weeks ago I read that actor Zach Braff admitted that in real life he resembles the depressed character he plays in the movie “Garden State” more than the engaging doctor he plays on the NBC sitcom “Scrubs.” “I think I suffer from some mild depression,” the 31-year-old actor recently said in Parade magazine. “So to have millions of people go, ‘I watched your movie and related’ … Continue reading
