Anne Hathaway Ditches Her D-Bag

We have never understood why pretty girls insist on dating scumbag losers. When you're as fair of skin and pouty of mouth as Anne Hathaway, you should be dating a Swiss prince who showers you in diamonds and writes you love poems, not some slimy Italian "businessman" who writes bad checks and always seems to be about two weeks away from some sort of indictment. Anne is not the type of woman who needs to be visiting her boyfriend in prison; she should be visiting her boyfriend at his French ch‚teau, where they will skinny-dip in the secluded infinity pool and then sip champagne in front of the fireplace. So it's a good thing that Anne has finally ditched longtime boyfriend Raffaello Follieri. According to The Daily Mail:

The 25-year-old movie star ended her four year relationship with Italian-American businessman, 29, over the weekend.

The Brokeback Mountain star's decision follows over a year of scandal linked to Follieri.

Last week, it was reported his charity Follieri Foundation, which funded vaccination programmes in developing countries, was being investigated by the New York State Attorney General's Office.

An insider tells the Mail Online that Hathaway made the painful decision to end their relationship because of the effects his controversial business dealings could have on her career.

Hathaway served as a director on the charity's board until some time last year, with her rep saying: 'Since she is no longer associated with the foundation, why would you expect her to be familiar with all of this,' when asked about the investigation.

A source said: 'It's heartbreaking for her to dump him, and she's devastated that it's come to this, but she really didn't have a choice. His scandals were hurting her reputation.'

It's customary for the pretty girl of bad judgment to rebound with a safe, boring, reliable nice guy, but unfortunately Anne's found one who's already married:

During the making of Get Smart earlier last summer, Hathaway formed a friendship with co-star Steve Carell, who lent her a supportive ear during her problems with Follieri.

'She seemed to really be enjoying her freedom, and making new friends in L.A., especially Steve.'

Hathaway's split from Follieri may mean she finally moves to Hollywood, after years of insisting she would remain on the east coast to stay close to her beau.

A pal said: 'She seemed to really be enjoying her freedom, and making new friends in L.A., especially Steve.

'Anne really wants to find a guy like Steve, and if he weren't married, I have no doubt she would date him in a second.

'She's such a fan of his work she couldn't help but quote episodes of 'The Office' to him when they first met. She thinks he's amazing.

'Even though she loves being near her family, a move to Los Angeles could mean better roles, more money, and a better pool of potential boyfriends.'

2008's irresistible hearth-throb: Steve Carell? Anne recently gushed: ìMaking out with him is like the yummiest lollipop,î while The Rock–oh, sorry, Dwayne Johnson–said of sucking Steve's face: "It was like–you know, you ever had, like a warm apple pie with that cold ice cream, too? And you find that balance, where you're like [utters disgusting sound]. Hey, it was great, it was great. Not too many men can say that. I had a nice big lip lock with Steve Carell. It was great." Are we missing something here? We're talking about Steve Carell, not George Clooney. He's not exactly the type to cause passing women to offer him their underwear. But he was able to star in an entire movie opposite Dane Cook and not punch him in the face (as far as we know), so that's something we guess.
