Anne Hathaway has learned to love her pale skin – after a tanning experience went horribly wrong. The Devil Wears Prada star is renowned for her pasty complexion, but the actress once decided to go a bit darker. But Hathaway ended up regretting her decision when she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She says, “I had a spray tan done and I wound up looking like an orange zebra. When it came off, because I’m so pale underneath, I looked like a giraffe with leprosy. And I smelled like nachos and maple syrup the whole time. It was not a good idea.”

Anne Hathaway does “terrible things”. The Devil Wears Prada star, 26, says she often engages in activities that would make tabloid headlines around the world, but no one will ever find out about them as she has a select bunch of trusted, “discreet” pals that will never talk to the media. She says, “I do terrible things. I just have very discreet friends. “I had an experience at college where I was at a party and people were passing cocaine around, and I looked at it and thought, that’s not a horse I can ride, I’m never going to do that. “So I passed the tray along and left the room. Being an actress is hard enough without complicating it with drugs.”

Oscar nominee Anne Hathaway is to open the Academy Awards with a song-and-dance routine, according to reports.

The actress will be one of many stars who are set to join Jackman onstage, if reports are to be believed; Beyonce Knowles and High School Musical couple Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are rumoured to be teaming up with the host for musical numbers.
