Anne Hathaway's "Les Miz" Director Begged Her To Stop Losing Weight
A couple of years back, actress Melissa Leo was GUNNING for that Oscar for her performance in The Fighter. Real talk - she deserved it because she completely brought to life a scary beehived bitch from Lowell (I live in Massachusetts and I've known a few). But she got super cheesy in pursuing the gold-plated acting dildo. She took out full page ads in the trades inexplicably featuring herself in a polar bear skin by a pool (elegant?) and another one of her bending forward in an evening dress showing cleavage (sensual?) and they read simply "CONSIDER". It was a little bizarre, kinda hammy,and way desperate. And now whenever Anne Hathaway does an interview about her hunger strike for Miserable Lesbians, all I can picture is a big "CONSIDER" floating over her shorn head in blinking lights.
Your mom, that last bill collector you had to speak to because you forget to use a foreign accent and say "wrong numbah", and every gay you know have already marveled at you about Anne Hathaway dropping 25 lbs. to play a dying French hooker so she can snatch an Oscar. US (via the Los Angeles Times) notes that her director Tom Hooper felt that Anne subsisting on little more than oatmeal bark and insane ambition for her role was a little much.
"Tom didn't like what I was doing, but he understood why I was doing it," the actress counters. "No one liked what I was doing. By the end, people were hugging me, and they would get emotional because I felt so frail."
They were emotional because they didn't want you to die in front of them, tragic heroine! Hunger hasn't made the smart (formerly) fat girl any less modest.
"I see the sort of work that people like Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet can do, and I want to do that level of work so badly," she tells the L.A. Times of those Oscar winners. "But I don't believe I'm as gifted as them. So the only thing I can control is how hard I work at it -- how much do I commit to it? How far will I take it?"
Let's make going anorexic the finish line, Anne. What's after that? Giving yourself cancer? Committing suicide at the end of a shoot? The Academy better "CONSIDER" Anne because I fear for the seats around her if they announce another gal's name. Charlize Theron is lucky she shaved her dome if she's seated near this crazy that night. Because Anne is gonna be snatching weaves and bath salt bitin' faces if she doesn't win this shit.

if this bitch wins an Oscar I will fucking have a shit fit of epic proportions.
It makes me stabby to imagine what her acceptance speech will be like.
Lislop, I'm still laughing at your comment.

She was great in The Devil Wears Prada. As good as Meryl Streeo was in her role, Anne was better and so natural.
@Super Stew, I know i'm late here but oh God, I am so sorry, that is horrible.
I hate Anne Hathaway. She is the epitome of a spoiled brat in a plastic bubble who thinks anything that mildly inconveniences her is just the worst thing that could ever happen. I bet when she was starving herself (which she CHOOSE to do and got paid an ASSLOAD OF MONEY for) she cried in front of the mirror every night because her suffering was just so noble and so sad she couldn't take it.
Also, TDKR was silly as fuck, which would have been okay except everyone played it like it was Oscar bait. I fucking hate superhero movies that try to be artsy and serious and dark. Only thing I liked was that little in-joke at the end about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character's name which I thought was amusing, although certainly not enough.
Seeing her rich ass shop until it drops does not make me like her any better. Her claims are shallow and so is the business she works for.
I'm tired of this broad. I liked her before she got all famous and full of herself. Now she just annoys me. I haven't seen the movie of Les Miz but in the play, **SPOILER** she dies off early in the first act after having sang 2 songs. I know women have won oscars for less screen time (Judi Dench comes to mind) but seriously.

"This bitch is crazier than a pillowcase full of clear-level scientologist possums."
Uggggh, she is so painfully cheesy. Stop trying so fucking hard, Anne.
Big whoop you lost some weight for a movie role for probably a month or two. We don't have to hear this kind of drivel from Christian Bale, Colin Farrell, Matthew McConaughey, et al. Why the hell would people be getting 'emotional' just to hug her? It's just a job, and she got a crapload of money for losing that weight for a short period of time (among other things). Her life was not in danger. It's not as if she was looking like the next Angelina Jolie.
She turns interviews that should just be Hollywood banter into "serious discussions of my art (and insecurities)". Also, as Hekki & Esteem noted, it reads passive-aggressively. Rather than concretely saying she isn't as talented as they are, she deliberately points out that it's only her own perspective in that "she believes" she isn't as talented as they are.
Thank you kiki. Now I can take my morning constitutional!

JTROS - I detested Rachel Getting Married. As to Hathaway, she raises an interesting point. She does work hard and you feel that labor as the viewer. Where, say, Streep makes it look easy, Hathaway makes it look hard. As to the pantheon, I'd argue she's not as talented as Michelle Williams, Chloe Sevigny, Kerry Washington and about a million other actresses.
Sarah Smile
I agree. A truly talented actor or actress doesn't make their role seem like hard work - they make it seem easy and natural. She tries TOO HARD, at everything.
Being married to her must be exhausting. She probably needs "atta girls" for everything: "oh, Anne, thank you for getting me a glass of water! It must be so much work always empathizing with me and seeing to my needs before your own! I'm so lucky to have such an amazing, compassionate, talented wife!!" And so on. Barf.
Flash forward two months from now: Christopher Plummer opens the envelope and states...'And the Oscar goes to...Sally Field for Lincoln.'
I will laugh so hard :)
Actors who do that kind of work don't yap endlessly about it, they just do it.
Please tell me her character in Lezzie Misery dies a horrendous painful death!
It's funny how she starved herself to achieve realism while one of the male leads is sporting a Bieber haircut, all gelled-up.
-----------------------------------------------------
Who are you calling silly cow?
I just saw this tramp on a repeat of SNL. She's not untalented or anything but here's something about her that just screams "DESPERATE!!!!11" Even before this Oscar/snatch showing shit, she just comes off as someone who is trying really hard to show people she's not a bitch but probably is a raging bitch behind closed doors.
She's overly earnest and it comes off fake as shit. "I wanna be like Meryl Streep but I'm not talented enough" - oh bullshit, girl! You know you think you're the poo and we should all take a big whiff.
She'll probably end up winning that mess because she's practically sucking the dicks of those Oscar voters.
Nah, I think she is too dumb to understand the implications of her words here. I usually feel sorry for people like this who just don't know when to just shut the hell up. I get like it after drinking too much coffee where I don't even see the relevance of what is coming out of my mouth. lol.
James Spader was GREAT! Actually, there were so many good actors in that movie...it was one of the very few movies I've ever seen that I wouldn't mind seeing again.
I used to have a huge crush on James Spader...and even now that he's older and fatter (like me!) I still think he's sexy.

Translation: I totally consider myself in the category of Meryl Streep and expect you to also, that's why I made sure to put our names in the same sentence. I starve myself and talk about it incessantly for more attention like my dumb butch haircut to distract you from my bland mediocrity and possibly keep my obviously gay husband. Also I will DIE if I don't get the Academy Award that I pretend I don't want or fake humbly pretend I don't deserve

I love translating, too. If you have a fan club I'm in it.
I thought she showed her vajayjay all the time but I can't see it in that picture. SHe must be slipping.

Hi IF -- always nice to see you! you and all the Furys have a happy new year! i hope you are taking care of yourself!
OT: Anne Hathaway is annoying and average. agree w/what Twatty said re:her Prada casting just reflected her position as flavor of the moment
also, she was not shaking that dude's hands in the Dark Knight Rises scene -- Catwoman did that flip to break that fucker's wrists for talking smack to her. and most of the Catwomen costumes of my recollection on tv and in the comic books have involved high heels until the past decade-ish i believe
---------------------------------------------
Um, yeah, this is one of those times when the d gets a little ridiculous wit de criticisms. I believe Michele Pfeifer(?) wore heels too. And exactly how does one mount a motorcycle? Do a flip JUST to shake hands with someone who's taunting you? Um, no, it was to break the convict's wrist. I mean really now.
Anyhoo, I'm watching TDKR on dvd now. Later.

I saw "Lincoln" tonight and Sally Field did an outstanding job as Mary Lincoln. I am a Lincoln FREAK, so maybe I'm biased, but I hope Sally Field kicks Anne Flash-away's ASS.

Wasn't James Spader the best in Lincoln? I thought he was so good!
Does she seriously want everyone to hate her? I can't believe she doesn't hear how pretentious she sounds in EVERY interview. People with no real personality always end up overcompensating.
You guys will be happy to know that her episode of SNL is on. I know you guys are flipping channels NOW!

I'm 99.9% sure that most everything she says and does, including the va-jay flash, is done as a desperate bid for attention.
The only other thing I've seen her in was The Devil Wears Prada and they made a thing out of her character losing weight too. Maybe she's a closeted anorexic who likes acting out her issues? It also kinda sounds like she is just fishing for compliments and admiration, being so sickly "voluntarily" and coming back again.
Today was hell for me with food, I have had problems for a decade and even after recovering some days still suck ass. Fuck Anne Hathaway for starving herself for something so superficially. Her "frailty" is a scary reality for some people who will never get any sort of award or trophy for their suffering like her beloved Oscar.
Please give the Oscar to Helen Mirren. Please give the Oscar to Helen Mirren. Please give the Oscar to Helen Mirren. Please give the Oscar to Helen Mirren. Please give the Oscar to Helen Mirren. Please give the Oscar to Helen Mirren. Please give the Oscar to Helen Mirren.
Seriously, I'll accept the Oscar given to anybody. Hmm, Sally Field, Amy Adams, beautiful Kerry Washington, Maggie Smith, SOMEBODY.
Hell, give it to Samantha Barks. Just not Hathaway.

Yeah, it has some flaws, but Rush and Neeson are pure gold. And I also think Thurman was a much better downtrodden whore than Hathaway is.
I mean, in the promotional stuff she looks like she's auditioning to play Audrey Hepburn. Thurman looked sweaty and dirty and her teeth were rotten and her clothes were stained and her hair was greasy. She actually looked like a 19th-century street whore, and they didn't romanticize her fucking tuberculosis.
If you're gonna give someone an Oscar for playing Fantine, it shouldn't be Hathaway just cuz she lost a few pounds and sang.

I hope somebody who's overweight wins best supporting actress.
LOL. Let's see... Rebel Wilson in "Pitch Perfect"! Melissa McCarthy in "This Is 40"?
Um, I'm probably going to get tomatoes for this, but I thought she was the best part of The Dark Knight. Surprised me. But that movie was really long and not that good.
Speaking of long, I just got back from seeing Django Unchained and it was entertaining, even for three hours. Thumbs up.
Submitted by Esteem: " I actually read that as her passive/aggressive schtick to try and get someone to say that she IS as good as Streep, Blanchett and Winslet.
I'm a suspicious ho that way. /shrug"
Nah, I totally agree. She's basically inserting herself into that pantheon, and it totally is passive aggressive. Kinda reminds me of the way Courtney Stodden compares herself to Pam Anderson and Anna Nicole Smith. LOL.
You *wish*, Anne. And if YOU have to say it, it's not true.
I hope somebody who's overweight wins best supporting actress.
Does this bitch think admitting that she's not as "gifted" as Streep, Blanchett and Winslet is going to make everyone forget that she isn't and she never will be? She's not worthy of carrying their fucking purses, now or ever!
Unfortunately, Hathaway and her PR machine are in overdrive - my only hope is that her relentless campaigning WON'T work and will backlash her all to hell. See, the difference between her and Leo is that Leo is a genuinely, highly talented actress. Hathaway is not. But the cult of personality and PR being what they are these days, Hathaway will probably get a totally undeserved nomination. Bleh.
just remembered stanley tucci saying, "gird your loins!"

Posh Beckham is one of the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse.
Fuck her and her Mr Potato Head face.
That's all.
I've never witnessed an interview which she wasn't completely fucking obnoxious.
She is the worst.
I never cared for miss anne here anyway. I remember moaning and groaning when I first heard she was gonna be catwoman (batman fans know just how ridiculous that ish is)...hows some gawky bony ass bitch gonna be the luscious yet sinewy catwoman??
But this whole schtick shes got going on here has elevated my hatred to new levels. It's also firmly convinced me not to see LM, or anything else this twat is in. Not only is she annoying, she seems so damn smug. No idea what about, but there ya go.
I think someone in here had it spot fucking on when they called her "insufferable". The Insufferable Anne Hathaway has a nice ring to it....
Get over yourself.
I feel like she would be a decent actress if she didn't put way too much effort into everything. Like in DWP Emily Blunt has this thing where you automatically know she's a great actress, but Anne almost has this same-character-ness to every role that she plays. I feel like she more wants to be one of those Big Name actress celebrities, rather than a talented actress which is what Blunt is.
"I can't act on the same level as the other Academy Award Winning Actresses, but they should take pity on me and give me an Oscar anyway because I went on a diet for a month still didn't look scary skinny wah wah wah" Shut the fuck up and do your job well if you want a damn Oscar.
I wanna see her face when some other hoe gets the Oscar. Her expression will be priceless.
Doing. Too. Much.
That's quiet a step she's taking with bags full of thousand dollar goodies , from the film's paycheck I bet.

I am convinced after this whole Oscar campaign that AH knew the sordid truth about her little Italian con man & she chose to play dumb and innocent. Homegirl was in on it, in my opinion. But she let little man take the fall and she high-tailed it out of there while also trying to milk the situation for sympathy (because she was blinded by love & taken advantage of). What. The. Fuck. Ever. You. Manipulative. Cunt.
