Anne Hathaway made the cover of People last week – the Princess and the Con Man, describing how Anne was duped by that shady boyfriend she recently broke up with. The one who kept writing bad cheques and stealing money.

Anne and her Get Smart (the movie that beat Mike Myers in the ass!) co-stars were in Rome yesterday to promote the film and she was asked by an intrepid journalist, “Was the separation from your ex-boyfriend painful?"

It was an awkward moment – she wasn’t angry but she was very uncomfortable, until Steve Carell jumped in to rescue: "In my role of agent [for] Miss Hathaway, I would like to say that she does not answer questions relating to this subject."

Anyway, have a look at Anne on the carpet last night in a sublime white dress. The makeup however…the makeup is for sh*ts. Said it before – in a certain light, if it’s not done right – Anne Hathaway can look like a squirrel.

Yeah it’s mean. But you’d be lying if you said to me you think that eyeliner is even remotely close to passable.
