06/08 Steve Carell Hopes For “Get Smart 2″

Steve Carell believes Get Smart 2 will get made. The 47-year-old star – who played agent Maxwell Smart in the 2008 comedy alongside Anne Hathaway and Dwayne Johnson – believes a follow-up will be made, providing an adequate script can be written. He said: “That’s maybe somewhere down the line as well. That’s sort of on the back-burner. I took a pass at the script for it. We’ll see. That was fun to do. But I think to make another one, it would have to be really good. I wouldn’t want to do one for the sake of doing one. I’d want to try to make it pretty special.”

31/07 Hathaway Is A Hit In London Pub

Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway is winning over locals while filming a new movie in London – by embracing the hard-partying pub scene. Hathaway is currently in the British capital working on an adaptation of David Nicholls’ novel, One Day, and has spent her time off relaxing in the Prince Arthur pub in Hackney, East London. The Devil Wears Prada star impressed the bar staff and regulars at a recent late-night party when she took the microphone and performed an impromptu cabaret set into the early hours. But the 27 year old has kept up her professionalism – by turning up on set ready to work despite her late nights. A source tells Britain’s Daily Mail, “She’s built up quite a reputation since the performance. But whatever she does in the pub, Anne has an enviable knack of showing up for filming the next morning as fresh as a daisy, as though she’d gone to sleep at 9pm with a mug of cocoa.”

28/07 Follieri’s Lawyer Denies Early Jail Release

A lawyer for Anne Hathaway’s conman ex-lover Raffaello Follieri has dismissed reports he will be released from U.S. prison this month and return to his native Italy to serve the remainder of his sentence. The Devil Wears Prada star’s former boyfriend was jailed for four-and-a-half years in December 2008 after pleading guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. Hathaway dumped the Italian businessman in June the same year just before his arrest for the scam, which saw him take more than $3.6 million (£2.4 million) from investment funds and real estate firms. Recent reports suggested Follieri, 31, would be released and returned to Europe as early as July. According to the New York Post, Follieri would be eligible for early release under the federal prisoner-transfer program that allows foreigners to serve out their sentences abroad. However, his lawyer, Flora Edwards, insists there are “no ongoing negotiations” for an earlier date, and that he would not become eligible to be returned to Italy until May 2012. Edwards confirms: “There’s always a hope that might happen. But there’s nothing concrete that I can talk about.”

25/07 Anne Hathaway’s Jewellery For Sale

Anne Hathaway’s jewellery is to be auctioned off. The Devil Wears Prada star will see a number of items – including a gold Rolex watch valued at $25,000, a silver Rolex worth $5,000, a five-strand pearl necklace and silver and diamond earrings – that she was given by ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri and were later seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as part of their investigation against him. Anne – who turned over around 12 items in April 2008 after the businessman was arrested on fraud charges – was offered the chance to bid exclusively on the necklaces, rings and other items, but declined, reports the New York Post newspaper. The auction date has not yet been set. The 27-year-old actress has previously spoken of her shock after Raffaello – who she dated for four years – was taken into custody on charges of federal wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering. Anne – who is now dating Adam Shulman – said: “As soon as I found out about the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a promotional tour for Get Smart. And then I spent a week in shock at a friend’s house. “It’s a situation where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden. But just as suddenly, my friends threw another rug back under me. One said, ‘Go stay at my house.’ “And Steve Carell, my Get Smart co-star, stepped up for me during an interview when someone asked a question about it. He said, ‘At some point you’re going to have to talk about this time in your life. You don’t have to do it this week. I’ll take care of anything that comes your way.’ ” In October 2008, the Italian businessman was jailed for four-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to all charges.
