22/07 Hathaway Gets Cooking

Actress Anne Hathaway’s New Year’s resolution is paying off – the Brokeback Mountain star is slowly becoming a better cook. The star promised herself cookery lessons in 2010 and she’s already noticing a big difference in her catering skills. She tells WENN, “I am still new to it. One in five things is very good and everything else is a nice effort. I am working on the basics right now and trying to find my go-to chilli recipe. The other day I roasted a chicken that I have got to say was awesome. But I used a lot of butter and it’s not hard to make chicken taste good when you use a lot of butter. “I am not a very imaginative cook; I follow recipes, but I really do enjoy it. That and baking. I used to be a vegetarian but obviously I am not a very committed vegetarian when you roast chicken. My favourite recipe is the Waverley Inn’s Chicken Pot Pie. That is a restaurant in the West Village of New York where they make a Chicken Pot Pie that is the most delicious comfort food ever! “I found the recipe and I have made it a few times and it is really fun. I like time consuming cooking projects when I spend all Sunday in the kitchen making a big meal. I like Sunday and I invite people over for brunch and then it turns into dinner.” And Hathaway insists that what she lacks in the kitchen she more than makes up for when dining out in exotic places. She adds, “I have eaten fried crickets. It was fine. They were very greasy and dense. They were crunchy but I didn’t think they were nice. But I was happy that I had done it. “I’ll try stuff but I am not that adventurous – the one thing that I absolutely cannot eat is tripe! I cannot eat any type of intestine. A friend recently came back from Bhutan and they showed me pictures of something they ate and it was the grilled guts of some animal and it was not appealing. I get a little nauseous thinking about it.”

07/05 Anne Hathaway Wants Dragon Tattoo

Anne Hathaway, Kristen Stewart and Natalie Portman are in the running to star in the remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. An Education actress Carey Mulligan and Juno star Ellen Page are also reportedly keen to take on the lead role in the new version of the film – based on the novel by Swedish author Stiegg Larsson – with Keira Knightley, Mia Wasikowska and Scarlett Johansson also said to want the part. However, director David Fincher is said to be unsure whether he wants to cast an established star or an unknown actress. A source told website Deadline.com: “David is not sure if he wants to go with an actress of any note or go with an unknown. David’s process is very specific and private. He’s looking for authenticity and a degree of fierceness and believability capable of delivering the intensity that the part on the page calls for.” Brad Pitt is believed to have been offered the male lead in the film. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – a Swedish version of which was released in cinemas earlier this year – is the first in a trilogy, followed by The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest.
