WHO’S REALLY CHEATING IN HOLLYWOOD
WHO’S REALLY CHEATING IN HOLLYWOOD
Sienna Miller shocked the world when she was caught on camera brazenly and passionately making out with married actor Balthazar Getty in Positano, Italy, in July. Sienna should have known better. After all, her ex-fiancé Jude Law infamously cheated on her with his children’s nanny in 2005, causing “a loss of innocence on my part,” she said. “I was blinded by being a romantic person.” And she’s not the only star to have been betrayed. Bold-face names from Halle Berry to Mary-Kate Olsen have also had unfaithful partners. “I’ve been cheated on a time or two,” country star Carrie Underwood has admitted. “It’s tough.”
“Cheating is more prevalent in Hollywood than the fans could fathom,” Paul Barresi, a private investigator in Los Angeles, reveals to In Touch. “A lot of stars present themselves as dedicated spouses or boyfriends and girlfriends, but behind closed doors they often live parallel lives.” Many celebrities go to great lengths to conceal their trysts. “I know of one star who’d kiss his wife goodbye and in less than an hour be at a five-star hotel taking the service elevator to the top floor to be in the arms of his lover,” Barresi says. “I’ve known stars who troll the red light district, hiding behind tinted windows, sometimes dressed in disguise, searching for a sexual fix with a stranger.”

The Awakening
At the end of the affair, her ex went to prison and she became a star. Sally Singer meets the newly single Anne Hathaway and watches her shop and soar. Topshop in Oxford Circus, London, is a vast, crowded, chaotic nexus of moms, teenagers, working girls, and, above all, stuff. There are piles of handbags and baubles and socks and hair doodads, and everywhere
Kate Moss hovers gigantically. Just when you think you've found the aforementioned supermodel's panther-clawed tunic in the right size, some Camden hipsteress with cherry hair and Siouxsie Sioux eyes is grabbing it by the other sleeve. Into this fast fashion fray, one day last October, steps Anne Hathaway, the movie star. Speaking of fashion with speed, Hathaway is wearing a nifty, nipped tweed blazer from Et Vous; a vintage Fred Perry tennis sweater; an
Elizabeth and
James plaid shirt; natural-waisted J Brand jeans; and slip-on Keds with rabbits drawn on the front. This is a girl who could teach even an NW1 punkette a thing or two about Lower East Side layering.
"Look, she's buying cheap knickers!" somebody says. And, indeed, Hathaway is in the lingerie department, surveying the three-for-£7 panties in polka dots and funny florals—girly things. She's also interested in camisoles, jumpsuits (she tries on a strapless black corseted romper), and things that in her mind fall into the "lounge around" category. "No one lounges around cuter than
Kate Hudson," she says. Hudson is her costar and a producer of Bride Wars, which opens this month. (Hudson says, "Annie would show up to work in the indie-mod thing that is her go-to. My go-to is jeans, Rick Owens, a blazer, and lots of bracelets. Hers is red sunglasses, tight black skinny jeans, shirt off the shoulder, cute beanie.")
Hathaway leaves lingerie for trendier pastures. She tries on a black T-shirt dress adorned with swirling zippers and says, "I want to buy it and give it to Sienna Miller." Nothing of
Kate Moss's works for her, not the tiny purple floral frock with the bell sleeves ("Can't do them; will catch fire") nor the delicate mushroom-and-scarlet Ossie Clark-inspired number ("I think she only designs for blondes"). A beaded cardigan by Emma Cook is ruled out because, at nearly £100, it's just too much money. But a fair-trade knit cap is a must-get, as are stacks of slouchy cashmere socks, a Lanvin-esque navy tee edged in black ribbon ("Love it. I'm going to live my life in it"), and a gamine stripey minidress in gray cotton jersey. The cashier is a scruffy, multipierced chick who rings up Hathaway's stack without a glimmer of recognition. Then, all London deadpan, she says, "I know this is going to sound queer, but I love you."
We're back to knickers for one last look. It's a psychologically charged moment. For the truth is that Hathaway recently split up with Raffaello Follieri, her boyfriend of four years, and is trying to replace all the clothes and underpinnings she associates with that relationship and that she has since tossed out—i.e., domestic apparel, those sweatpants and T-shirts and his/her sweaters in which you tackle crosswords and struggle for the remote control. "This is harder than I thought," she suddenly confesses. "I haven't done this yet. I don't know how I want to look when I lounge around."
Meanwhile, her ex is in the process of having his forthcoming look decided for him. The very next day, in fact, he will be sentenced to four and a half years in prison for conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering. He can expect a lot of lounging around in orange jumpsuits or gray scrubs. Hathaway is not interested in rehashing this chapter of her romantic life; she made light of it on Saturday Night Live, and that was all the public catharsis she needed. "I was a 21-year-old kid when I met him," she says. "It wasn't a huge, dramatic breakup. We were in the process of winding it down when he was arrested. I don't talk about this, except when I'm asked. It's not a part of my life anymore." She adds, "It's a complicated situation that has the ability to define me in ways I am not comfortable with."
Like pretty much anyone who emerges from a long relationship, Hathaway is in the process of redefining who she is. In the past few months (the split occurred last June), the actress has quite self-consciously sought to reimagine almost every aspect of her 26-year-old self. There's her new, stringier physique, achieved through strength training ("I'm proud of myself when I'm deep in a squat, pulling from my core"), dietary supplements, and kickboxing with David Kirsch, the maestro of celebrity slimness. There's her rediscovered commitment to vegetarianism—"I don't eat anything with a face" is her way of putting it—a pre-Raffaelloite choice she ditched because it was "easier for the lifestyle at that time." There's her new love of live music and festival-centric bands such as Death Cab for Cutie and TV on the Radio ("After my breakup happened, I thought, Concerts until the end of the year"). And there's her new quest for a better understanding of what is valuable: "I realized that the past five years of my life had been spent accumulating things I like but never asked if I love." Although she's referring specifically to her wardrobe, Hathaway exemplifies the notion that the material and the spiritual are far from distinct. What we buy and what we wear express otherwise intangible states of mind. "I'm looking for a pared-down truth," the actress says apropos of her wardrobe, and she's fully aware that her words have a wider resonance.
When Hathaway talks, her face talks as well. She has startlingly expressive eyes and an XXL mouth that flitters between the comic and the tragic in a single utterance. Jonathan Demme, who directed Hathaway in Rachel Getting Married, her most compelling dramatic performance, says, "She's like a human lava lamp. She makes you stay in touch with what's in her mind by what's on her face." Meryl Streep, her costar in The Devil Wears Prada, is "surprised that anyone was surprised by Annie [in Rachel]. To me, the immediacy and the freshness and the special quality of being reactive to all stimuli, blushes to bruises, was apparent in Prada, also in the Princess movies. She is also maybe the most beautiful creature on film right now. That's not her fault or her doing, but she does seem uncannily unaware of the fact, and you never catch her working it. That's just perfectly disarming and rare."
Hathaway herself is increasingly confident in her abilities on-screen. "Somewhere between Brokeback [Mountain] and Bride Wars, my learning curve became quite sharp." In Rachel Getting Married, she plays Kym, a charming, drug-addicted narcissist who almost derails her sister's wedding. The movie is an extraordinary ensemble piece stuffed with music, a brilliant cast, and a low-budget integrity. Producer Neda Armian says, "The mandate came from Jonathan that she had to cut her hair. It was non-negotiable. I think he didn't want any traces of Anne Hathaway." It seems that this has had a real-life effect, too: The actress walked off the set almost as transformed as her character. "Kym was earth-shattering to me. The lesson was the most profound in my life." Her brother Michael, who works as her assistant, says, "She started dressing differently—sort of the way Kym would. She started wearing biker boots, ripped T-shirts. Subtle changes. Starting to think about it."
Thus a hugely promising but romantically awry young star—"There's this teenager, and she's every bit as good as Julie Andrews," recalls an awed Demme on seeing The Princess Diaries—is now turning into the "real deal," as Gary Winick, her director on Bride Wars, puts it. That movie concerns a struggle between two friends for the right to have the perfect wedding at the Plaza. It's a broad comedy for people who like movies about bridezillas and wedding planners and Big Day high jinks. Hudson picked Hathaway as her matrimonial rival and BFF. "Annie walks this fine line between being unbelievably intelligent and well read in her manner and being this wild little girl," she says. "She's a mix between a thoroughbred—totally focused, on it, and in it—and a platypus, this quirky, funny, simple animal."
This hugely appealing duality (think Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts) stems from the fact that, unlike Hudson, Hathaway was not to glamour born. From a secure New Jersey family—her parents, a lawyer and a stage actress, have been married 28 years, and she has a second brother currently at Oxford University—she grew up playing soccer and putting on little plays at home. As a teenager she landed a role on a short-lived TV show and moved briefly to Los Angeles to film it. She returned to the East Coast and attended Vassar for three semesters, and when Princess Diaries hit everything was turned upside down. Even so, Hathaway transferred to NYU because "there is something to be said about having a canon to study and the discussion that comes from shared knowledge." After one semester, she landed The Devil Wears Prada.
As with her character's family in that film, "spending a lot of money on clothes was not respected in my household." The perks of fame were also suspect: "For years my dad would say, When was the last time you took a subway?" It's hard to imagine that such a family could be accepting of Follieri, whose main distinction seems to have been a desire to ape the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Pre-Follieri, Hathaway's boyfriend was a famous New York club promoter who later dated an
Olsen twin. The question for Hathaway and family is, When will she finally fall for a suitable guy? "I'm a very loyal person to everyone," she says, "and it's one of my most defining traits." The tricky part about this, of course, is figuring out who is deserving of this gift, and not bouncing from Follieri to Blake Fielder-Civil, the famous parolee. You live and you learn. Last spring, Hathaway bought branches of cherry blossom at the Union Square Greenmarket. "They lasted a month and were beautiful even as they died." She came back from a weekend to find that Follieri, who always liked things "fancier and perfect," had instructed the maid to throw the branches out. This was the moment when she knew that "we saw things differently."
After Topshop, it's off to Dover Street Market. Hathaway loves London, where she once spent a summer and "discovered the wonderful country of Mango." But Dover Street Market is new to her. It's the Comme des Garçons-owned, hypercurated acme of high fashion and high miscellanea. Hathaway is blown away: "I am really going to embarrass myself today! I'm treating myself to something I should have treated myself to a year ago." The salespeople want her to try on a high-collared, full-skirted leather Alaïa coat: "Meryl would love this," Hathaway says, grinning hugely. A vintage Alaïa dress is deemed exquisite for Rosemarie DeWitt, her luminous (and lead title) costar in Rachel. A Vicky Tiel cocktail number from the eighties is "perfect, but it's a society dress." Then everything starts to click. There's a swirling Lanvin gray sweater with three-quarter-length sleeves she can't bear to take off ("I don't see the point unless it is like…exactly!"). There's a book about the Talking Heads she picks up as a gift for Demme, who also directed the seminal concert film Stop Making Sense. There's a whole stack of silk and cashmere slip dresses, tap pants, bras, and teddies from Luck, the super-well-priced underpinnings line by Japanese designer Sacai. When paired with Topshop slouchy socks? Presto, the what-to-wear-lounging-around dilemma is solved!
Then we come to a vintage Diane von Furstenberg sleeveless wrap dress in aqua jersey with shoulder ties and fluttery edges; it and she look adorable and flirty. "I can go on a date in this," says Hathaway, giving a little twirl. "Oh, my God. That's such a weird thought."

Since it opened two years ago, the Institute of Contemporary Art has been touted as the jewel of the new Boston, the essence of all that's possible for a once stodgy city. On Wednesday night, more than 300 guests—arts patrons, fans of fashion, and a sprinkling of old Brahmins for good measure—flocked to the museum's Art of New American Fashion benefit to preview Spring pieces by, and rub shoulders with, ten of fashion's most promising new designers. Among them: Brian Reyes, The Row's Ashley Olsen, Elise Øverland, Lyn Devon, and Jason Wu.
Charlie Scheips, cultural historian and author of 2007's American Fashion, conceived the event, but Louis Boston owner and honorary chair Debi Greenberg made it happen. "To be frank, Boston needed a good party," said Greenberg, who wore a Champagne-colored Brian Reyes sheath. The designers arrived via bus from New York. "We all had our tabloids to keep us occupied," said Chris Benz of the five-hour ride. In keeping with the field-trip feel, museum director Jill Medvedow led the designers and special guests on a private tour, paying close attention to sculptor Tara Donovan's installations of plastic cups, toothpicks, and straws. "We've heard over and over there's no appetite in Boston for edgy, smart, innovative fashion, just as we'd heard over and over there was no appetite for contemporary art," Medvedow said. "But the feeling here tonight is nothing short of sheer excitement. It speaks to the possibilities."
2008 12 16 Curiouser and Curiouser - Via 24OlsenSOURCE: Feature Feed
Last night, Mary-Kate Olsen, Chace Crawford, and Moby were among those who flocked to the Tribeca Film Center for a Cinema Society screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Discussing the curious—and quite technical—process by which director David Fincher made Brad Pitt appear to age backwards (a concept based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story), Taraji Henson, who plays Queenie, admitted her co-star has his limitations. "He can't shrink himself," she said. "He's good, but he's not that good."
Following the movie, the crowd headed to the Soho Grand Hotel for the after-party in a Fincher-meets-Fitzgerald-induced haze. After watching a film that puts a youthful physique and its dewlike glow in their rightful, fleeting place, what are a bunch of bright young things to do? Drink, of course! When we caught up with Fincher, he clearly still had the whole age thing on his mind. "It's like an 18-year-old," he said of his latest flick. "You're not sure if it's ready to be on its own yet." Those five Golden Globe nominations should help ease his concern.
