DAN LEVY: FROM SCHITT’S CREEK TO ROME, ITALY

Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy admits he’s a lifelong fan of fashion, so it’s no surprise he turned up at the Valentino fashion show in Rome wearing a Valentino suit. Not sure who his companion is, but he seems to be having a good time. Anne Hathaway looks like another Barbie wannabe in her hot pink ensemble and high platform shoes- all by Valentino. Her companion for the show is Giancarlo Giammetti- one of the bosses at Valentino. Looks like all the celebrities in the front row are dressed by the designer.

JARED LETO AND ANNE HATHAWAY: TOO MUCH TOO SOON?

Jared Leto is looking more normal and handsome than he’s looked for a LONG time, so he must be filming a movie. In fact, he and Anne Hathaway are starring in a limited series for Apple called WeCrashed and it’s a VERY interesting story. It’s the true story of the rise of the wildly successful startup WeWork (the workspace rental company) that was once valued at almost fifty billion dollars, and of course the disastrous and spectacular fall of the doomed enterprise due mostly to the young founder and his co-founder wife. The couple were described as greedy narcissists and party monsters whose crazy self-indulgence was fueled by their rapid business success. Sounds like a pretty juicy story to us…

ANNE HATHAWAY KNOWS HOW TO MAXIMIZE POTENTIAL

The Hollywood Reporter did a staggering breakdown on what A-list celebrities are PAID for wearing certain items on the red carpet at events like The Golden Globes. A young attractive actress (especially a nominee) could not only get a free designer gown, but a cash payment of at least $50,000, up to $200,000, if she appears on a best dressed list! If she shows off a designer handbag on the red carpet, that’s another $10,000 to $15,000. Shoe designers pay up to $10,000 for an actress to make her shoes visible. Anne Hathaway knows how to make the best of a red carpet – she’s showing dress, shoes, handbag, AND earrings ($125,000)- that’s a potentially NICE payout!

WHAT ABOUT THE WOMEN WHO LIKED HARVEY WEINSTEIN?

Really caught in the middle of a horrible scandal are the women – mostly actresses- who seemed to LIKE predator Harvey Weinstein because he helped their careers? (Whether they paid a high price for that help is not known) For instance, Anne Hathaway was Weinstein’s DARLING for a few years and Renee Zellweger and Cate Blanchett owe him bigtime for their careers. And what about Weinstein’s WIFE Georgina Chapman, co-designer of Marchesa? Harvey made SURE all the Miramax stars above, and many more, dressed in Marchesa with the help of his friend, stylist Rachel Zoe. He put Marchesa on the map. Will any of these women dare to speak out in any way?

CATE BLANCHETT: LEADER OF THE OCEANS 8 RAT PACK?

We never paid much attention to George Clooney’s Oceans Eleven series of movies – just the same old stuff – self-indulgent and unoriginal. Now the same people are filming Oceans 8 with an all-female cast and we’re puzzled. It’s kinda sad that women have to remake roles written for men because there are so few original parts for women. Of course it’s better than NOTHING – but don’t blame the women if the worn-out casino heist concept seems tired. The cast is stellar- Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, and Asian American rapper Awkwafina (Nora Lum.) That’s a powerful and varied group. Hopefully, the script was written by women. Cate Blanchett started filming scenes in New York and she looks formidable in her green velvet suit. The movie isn’t coming out until 2018, however.

ANNE HATHAWAY ALMOST HAD A NICE MOMENT THERE…

As you may know, Anne Hathaway recently posted this rather charming and innocent looking photo of Helena Bonham Carter captioned “IN A WORLD OF KARDASHIANS, Be a Helena Bonham Carter “ Helena is her usual slightly eccentric tousled self in the pic. It’s a nice and inoffensive message to young girls that EVERYONE doesn’t have to be overtly sexy and heavily made up like the you-know-whos. Looking off-beat or nerdy is just fine. Believe it or not, Anne was criticized by internet trolls (Kardashian fans?) who claimed to be OFFENDED by the post and unfortunately she caved, and took it down and apologized. How could ANYONE be turned off by this message? Anne is trying too hard to be politically correct…

ROBERT DE NIRO’S CAREER IS ON FIRE

We’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of the brilliant Nancy MeyersThe Intern starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway (Sept 25.) The trailer, above, indicates that the movie is smart and funny – with DeNiro at his comic best. He’d barely finished that project when De Niro started filming the Bernie Madoff story called The Wizard of Lies” for HBO. Michelle Pfeiffer plays his wife Ruth and judging by the first on-set photo released, it looks quite fascinating. It’s gratifying that DeNiro is 72 and still working nonstop. If only women could have such long acting careers…

IT’S NOT COMPLICATED – “THE INTERN” LOOKS LIKE A SURE THING

Now HERE’S a movie we can sink our teeth into! “The Intern” with Robert DeNiro and Anne Hathaway reminds us a tiny bit of “The Devil Wears Prada” and we can’t wait to visit that world again! Deniro plays a 70ish widower who is hired by Anne Hathaway’s online fashion site in their Senior Intern Program. Anne plays the CEO he reports to. It looks to be an amusing culture clash – brilliant writer/director Nancy Meyers rarely disappoints. Meyers’ last movie was “It’s Complicated” with Meryl Streep.

ANNE HATHAWAY MARRIED FOR LOVE

Anne Hathaway and her husband Adam Shulman look like a pair of grad students in love walking around New York. Adam is an actor and producer and his last film “Song One” starred his wife. It didn’t do well, but Anne’s career continues to move along. She recently filmed “The Intern” with Robert De Niro and is currently appearing onstage in a one woman play in New York called “Grounded.”

CAN ANNE HATHAWAY HAVE HER CAKE AND EAT IT TOO? NOPE…

If Anne Hathaway is still wondering why so many people seem to hate her online, here’s a possible reason. Page Six revealed that while filming “The Intern” in New York with Robert DeNiro (photo above,) Anne was supposed to take a bite of chocolate cake for one scene. She’s fussy about what she eats and insisted on having gluten-free vegan cake for her scene. An assistant from the prop department was immediately dispatched to FIND suitable cake and rushed back to the set with it as soon as possible. If the story is accurate, it won’t do anything to improve Anne’s likeability.
