Raffaello Follieri, the Italian ex-boyfriend of Anne Hathaway, was released Friday morning from a prison in Loretto, 80 miles east of Pittsburgh.

Follieri was put into prison after a controversial real estate scam: Follieri cheated investors by falsely claiming he had Vatican connections, which made possible the buying of church property at a discount. After he pleaded guilty to his crime,  Follieri was sentenced in 2008 to 4 1/2 years in prison,  owing more than $3.6 million to those he ripped off.

Hey,  you need a lot of money to woo an A list celebrity, no?  Hathaway and Follieri dated for four years- but looks like their breakup was for the best.

Anne Hathaway is currently filming ‘Les Miserables’ in London. The actress looks like she’s taking a little break, as she was spotted vacationing in Miami with some friends. According to sources, she was in town to help Valentino celebrate his 80th birthday.

She showed off her smaller body, and much shorter hair while playing at the beach over the weekend.

The actress was asked to shave her head – and lose weight – for her portrayal of Fatine, a dying prostitute, in ‘Les Miserables’. Apparently Anne was asked to lose almost 20 pounds for the movie, to make her character’s death bed scenes “more realistic”. She’s reportedly on a diet of about 500 calories a day, in the hopes that by the end of filming, she’ll go from her size 10 – to a size 6.

A film set source told our mate Clemmie at the Mirror: “Anne is playing a destitute factory worker-come-lady of the night.

“Unfortunately, she only has 15 to 20 days to lose as much weight as possible – up to a stone-and-a-half – because she’s been filming the scenes showing her fit and healthy, almost slightly chubby.

“It’s not ideal but, as with any high-budget movie, there are strict time constraints.

“Producers have assigned her a personal trainer and she is literally eating nothing more than a couple of apples a day, and some protein – mainly in the form of a shake.

“Anne knows the risk of such an extreme diet and will undergo weekly medicals to make sure everything is still functioning as it should do.”

The movie is based on the hit West End musical and also stars hunks Eddie Redmayne (FIT), Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. The cast began filming early this month.

It’s due to hit cinemas in December, so Anne’ll have time to get her beautiful curves back for the premiere.

I can’t wait to see the movie! I hope it does the play justice!

I’ve also added some pictures of her shopping around in Miami, so you can get a better look at how skinny she’s getting!

In a new publicity shot, Anne Hathaway poses as Catwoman for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’.

The 29-year-old actress said she had to “physically transform” for the role of Catwoman. “I had to physically transform.
Chris sat me down at the beginning and said, “Joseph Gordon-Levitt did all of his own fighting in Inception. That one zero-gravity fight? He trained for two months”. I basically left his office and went to the gym and just came out about five minutes ago.”

Speaking on Anne’s character, Nolan said she represents an ‘underlying’ sense of darkness in the film, which is the last he will direct.

He told Entertainment Weekly: “She has a very strong way of protecting herself and those she cares about.”

Anne Hathaway stepped out in London early Sunday morning – sporting a much different ‘do!

The 29-year-old actress was spotted leaving Soho nightclub The Box with fiance Adam Shulman, and Anne tried to cover her head with her hand to hide the short haircut.

Anne cut her hair for her role in the upcoming film adaption of ‘Les Miserables’. Anne plays Fantine, a single mother who sells her hair and turns to prostitution to feed her child.

She stars alongside Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. (See pictures of Hugh on set here!).

Anne’s rep also revealed last week that she also had to lose weight for the role.

Does Anne Hathaway deal with body image issues? According to US Weekly, Hathaway reveals “When people refer to me as a ‘regular’ girl…it’s code word for ‘fat’ in Hollywood.”

Even though she claims the public isn’t easy on her when it comes to weight, she says “My body has chosen its shape. I’d rather be strong than skinny.”

I’m not even sure where these comments are coming from. I’ve never once heard that she’s “fat” or even slightly heavy. Maybe I’m missing something. She has a great body!

Actress Anne Hathaway recently shared that she feels like she has a lot in common with Lindsay Lohan.

“Lindsay Lohan and I have more in common than people think. We’ve all done things we shouldn’t. It is just that I did stuff at college when nobody knew about it, so I’m not a saint. I wasted time doing self-destructive things.”

“I found you can only dance on so many tabletops. I got all that out of my system and I am healthy and grounded.”

“My mother, Kate McCauley, taught me to be always understanding of other people — and to have a sense of humor about yourself.”

The actress, who is starring in the upcoming Batman flick ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘, says that she’s okay with Hollywood’s perception of her body type:

“I know when people refer to me as a ‘regular’ girl, that it is a code word for ‘fat’ in Hollywood.  It is completely understandable, as a teenager, to fret about your body. It is scary, because you don’t know how it is going to end up. But I am not a teenager any more and my body has chosen its shape.  I would rather be strong than skinny.”

I was loving Anne’s candid interview right up until the weight part.  I’ve seen Anne in person.  She is the teeniest little thing you’ve ever laid eyes on.  I hate when actresses try to talk as if they’re “just like the rest of us”.   I still love her to pieces, but that just rubbed me wrong.
