Anne Hathaway will lend her voice to The Simpsons and even make fun of her past relationship with Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri. The Rachel Getting Married star is booked to voice the girlfriend of Krusty. There has been no detail which episode will Hathaway appear, but Contact Music reported that her role will be the girlfriend who testifies in court in defense of Krusty the Clown who is wrongly-accused of committing a crime. This provides as a satirical story to Hathaway’s real life where her ex-lover was sentenced to a four-and-a-half year prison term after pleading guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. Anne Hathaway has split from Raffaello Follieri since the crime came to public attention. She is now in the hands of new beau Adam Shulman, who was spotted taking her to a double date on January 24 with Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.

When you’re bored and looking for something to do, Google is a great way to preoccupy your time, especially according to stars like Anne Hathaway! When the Bride Wars star, as well as several other celebrities were questioned about whether or not they had ever Googled themselves, Hathaway was quick to shake her head. However, the actress appears to have been keeping a secret from the world. “OK, I have a confession,” Hathaway revealed. “I lied before when you asked if I Googled myself. I do. I’m embarrassed by it because I know how terrible it is.” After admitting that she often types her name in to the popular search engine, she discusses how the gossip around her life constantly leaves her flabbergasted. “For a while, it cracked me up. I found a ton of humor in it. But recently it’s changed. There’s a big difference now where information is being reported as news. And I’m very uncomfortable with that,” Hathaway reveals. According to Perez Hilton, unlike Robert Downey Jr. who loves the act of Googling himself, Hathaway finds it rather strange and shocking and says, “The idea that you blink your eyes and it’s all over the Internet. It’s a strange thing to be part of.”

Anne Hathaway shares the excitement she felt after the announcement that she was nominated for a Best Leading Actress Oscar. “It is such a thrill to be recognized in this category with these remarkably talented women. I was with my parents and my dog when I got the news and we were all overjoyed – although I’m not sure my dog knew what was going on,” Hathaway tells ET. “This is a great day to be an actress!” The 81st Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, February 22, live from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

Anne Hathaway is a fan of Slumdog Millionaire — and the young star of the film, Dev Patel. A starstruck Hathaway expressed her love for the actor’s performance in Slumdog on the red carpet at the National Board of Review Awards gala in Manhattan. Meeting Patel for the first time, Hathaway declared: “I love you in your movie so much! … You’re so beautiful in it. You broke my heart. It was gorgeous.” Patel, pleasantly surprised by Hathaway’s praise, asked her for a hug. He said: “That means so much to me. You don’t understand. … Thank you Mrs. Hathaway!” The 26-year-old actress corrected Patel, saying: “Mrs.? Oh no. Miss, miss!” Patel, 18, was clearly worried he’d offended Hathaway, to which she playfully responded: “No, you’re not offending me — I’m just letting you know that it’s ‘Miss!’”

Anne Hathaway has insisted she didn’t play a junkie in a bid to shed her good girl image. The actress said she signed up to play a recovering drug addict in Rachel Getting Married because it was a great part, not to help her escape her most famous role in Disney’s Princess Diaries. “I know everybody wants me to relish it, because I get that question in every single interview,” she admitted. “Not to sound arrogant or cocky, I’ve never defined myself by the way other people did. It’s always been ‘be yourself, be yourself, be yourself’. Well, the person I am is an actress, and I’m really excited that I feel, with this movie, I’ve earned that title. “I’ve certainly been striving to earn it since The Princess Diaries, so I just feel happy now that I don’t have to have this weight on my shoulders in regards to my attitude towards myself about being a performer, that I actually did something I’m proud of, where all the intentions I have for the character made it onto the screen.” Anne, 26, added she “never made any choices or really thought about the way I was perceived because I just don’t see the point”. But she admitted it was “cool” to do something different, adding: “It wasn’t cool because I had done the Princess Diaries, it was cool because Jonathan Demme is a f****** great director and Kym’s an amazing character. It was cool on its own merit.”
