Anne Hathaway Reveals She'd Sooner Read Einstein Than Fashion Page

She is the Hollywood superstar who has instant chemistry on screen – but Anne Hathaway has admitted she actually prefers physics.

The actress is obsessed with the subject and is ‘dying for someone to explain quarks [fundamental matter particles]’ to her.

Miss Hathaway, 27, who starred in The Princess Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada, spends her spare time reading physics textbooks rather than fashion pages.

She said: ‘I’m interested in elementary particles. What I like thinking about is how time and space exist in the universe and how we understand it.

‘Any spare time I have, I bury my head in a physics textbook.

‘What I also think is fascinating is that the elements at the atomic and subatomic level make up everything. You, me, the buildings, our souls, our minds.’

Miss Hathaway admitted in an interview with GQ magazine she still had a lot to learn about physics: ‘Remember, I’m living in LA so I’m interested in energies and vibes.

‘Look, it’s not a very polished argument but I’m learning. I’m reading a lot about Einstein. I like theories. I want to understand string theory. I’m dying for someone to explain quarks to me!’

The actress broke into the big time at the age of 18 when she starred alongside Julie Andrews in The Princess Diaries. ‘I thought I knew everything,’ she said.

‘I was hopelessly fat-headed at the time. It was a heady thing so young, and the fame got to me.’

She also admitted she did not enjoy doing nude scenes in the 2005 movie Havoc. ‘I was terrified and sick to my stomach,’ she said.

‘But I eventually saw the movie – and although I don’t like the shot, the director was right.

‘It was necessary to convey the fact that this girl I was playing had no respect for her body, or her own sexual identity.’

The full interview is in GQ, out on Thursday.

Harvard's Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year - Video

Here is a video of Anne Hathaway's Hasty parade yesterday. Check her and the other queens doing Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance."

Harvard's Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year

Today Anne Hathaway was honored in Cambridge, Mass., as Hasty Pudding's Woman of the Year (previously reported.) This honor is traditionally presented to the deserving celeb by a host of Harvard's finest gents.

Upon her arrival at the John Harvard Statue Anne playfully greeted it with: “Hi, dude.” Hathaway was treated to a parade in her honor around Harvard Square. The 27-year-old actress and two of her dolled-up escorts were ferried down Massachusetts Avenue in a red Bentley.

Later that afternoon, the actress, fresh from the snowy parade of Harvard Square with the Hasty crew, donned sequins and serious heels for her roast inside the New College Theatre, where she endured the incessant teasing of hosts Clifford Murray ’10 and Derek Mueller ’10 and a Brokeback Mountain skit.

Poking fun at her turns in the film The Princess Diaries and its sequel, Murray and Mueller called her “the second most famous Anne to keep a diary.” Hathaway never once lost composure, however, coolly shooting back, “Love that Anne Frank line.”

Not even Princess Diaries co-star Julie Andrews could faze her. “What are a few of your favorite things?” sang an ersatz Andrews, played by Walter Klyce ’10.

“A few of my favorite things, besides Harvard … ” Hathaway replied, before launching into song with, “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens …”

“Yes, that would be the correct answer for me,” Klyce shot back. “But I think you meant to say, ‘Appearing topless in movies.’”

“I get a little overeager and excited about things,” explained Hathaway, who didn’t trust herself enough to wing an acceptance speech. So she read a poem she’d penned herself. “I feel warm and gooey inside,” read Hathaway, “joyous with my reddened backside, that your roast smacked upside. My rump is swollen with pride.”

Hathaway’s Man of the Year counterpart Justin Timberlake will be at Harvard on Feb. 5.

Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture - Giorgio Armani

Anne Hathaway was pretty in Paris yesterday at Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture. The actress showed her support for designer Giorgio Armani at his Armani Prive fashion show. Anne who was dressed in a sparkly silver ensemble looked impressed from the front row.

Anne told reporters that she had her eye on "about seven" looks from Giorgio’s newest collection.

“I have a few events in mind, and if Mr. Armani would be generous enough, I’d love to wear them,” she said.

Head over to JustJared.com to view more photos of Anne from the event.

Anne Hathaway The Singer

In addition to being a talented actress, Anne Hathaway is also a classically trained soprano. From 1998-1999 she performed with the All-Eastern U.S. High School Honors Chorus at Carnegie Hall. When at the age of sixteen, three days after her 1999 performance at Carnegie Hall, she was cast in the short-lived Fox television series Get Real. Anne has stated she prefers performing on stage than to to film.

As for her some of her singing history, last year Anne performed at the 2009 Academy Awards with Hugh Jackman. She has three tracks on the Ella Enchanted soundtrack and she has a song from Hoodwinked! which was a voice role for her. She briefly sang "How do you want it?" by Tupac in Havoc, although it's probably not her finest hour (or film.) She also appeared on Saturday Night Live on October 4, 2008 and sang in two numbers; one which she was a very funny Mary Poppins.

Below are a few clips of Annie singing:















Lastly thanks to Riikka for the Oscar icon!

Hathaway History (In Memoriam of Heath Ledger)

On January 22, 2008, Anne Hathaway's Brokeback Mountain co-star and friend Heath Ledger, passed away all too soon at the age of 28. He left behind a daughter with Michelle Williams who also starred opposite them in Brokeback.

Heath Ledger (1979-2008) a native of Australia first found a major acting break on the 97' Aussie soap Home and Away (which also launched careers for actresses like Isla Fisher and Isabel Lucas). His major break and what ultimately solidified him as Hollywood's newest heartthrob came with the feel good film 10 Things I Hate About You opposite Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. A few films later and Heath gained more notoriety this time proving he actually had acting chops with 2000's The Patriot, where he played Mel Gibson's son. But perhaps the film which first showcased Heath's range came in the independent Monster's Ball which featured Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry (who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of a grief stricken mother.)

Refusing to coast on his "it boy" status, Ledger begin carving a strong career for himself with a wide array of characters. However in 2005 one role changed his career forever; Ennis Del Mar.

Up until 2005, Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain was known only by the phrase "the gay cowboy movie." That was until however audiences got to see it. Critics and moviegoers alike fell for the sweeping and heartbreaking romance. Ledger played Ennis, Jake Gyllenhaal was Jack Twist, Michelle Williams (who Ledger ultimately found real life love with at the time) was his on screen wife Alma and Hathaway was a rodeo queen by the name of Lureen Newsome. She would ultimately marry Gyllenhaal's character in the film.

The film opened at The Venice Film Festival and went on to win countless awards and even more nominations, including many for Heath himself. The movie received Best Cast nominations which Hathaway shared in at The Gotham Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

At the 2008 Screen Actors Guild Awards, only days after his death, winner Daniel Day Lewis took a moment and honored Heath during his acceptance speech. Whilst among his fellow actors her shed light on some of Heath's performances rather than the traditional thanks. Perhaps his words offer good insight to Heath Ledger as actor best; "...He was unique, he was perfect."

In the few years that followed Brokeback, Heath had roles in I'm Not There, Casanova and one of my personal favorites Candy.

2008 would bring him his biggest project to date. The 185 million dollar budget epic The Dark Knight. Unfortunately when a few years ago the news broke that Heath had passed away due to an accidental drug overdose. Released about 6 months after his passing, The Dark Knight shattered box office records and currently remains the fifth highest grossing motion picture of all time. For his role as The Joker which truly stole the show, He went on to win a posthumous Golden Globe, SAG and Academy Award (His family accepted on his behalf.)

Finally in 2009, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus ; Ledger's final film, was released into theatres.

I'm sure none of this is news to anyone, however Heath was one of my very favorite actors I'd only was just discovering years before his death. I was heartbroken by the loss of him and still am to this day. No, I never knew him personally, but like many, his performances touched my soul and not many actors can do that for you.

Although gone, Heath Ledger will never be forgotten. His life was cut short and perhaps we will never know the career greatness he might have had given he lived longer. However the most tragic in all of this is the loss to his family and his daughter. But his legacy will live forever in the minds and hearts of many.

"The thing that I remember about Heath was how alive he was—how much energy he had. He couldn’t sit still. He was very beautiful. He was always very generous." - Anne Hathaway

AskMen 2010 Most Desirable Women

After a six-week long voting period, 6 million votes have been cast, the ballots have closed and the tallying is complete. What does the modern man look for in his ideal companion? AskMen.com’s list of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2010 inform you.

Anne Hathaway ranked at #61 on the annual Askmen.com’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women. View her entry here.

Meryl Streep and Meg Ryan are the two extremes that exist for actresses in Hollywood. There’s Oscar’s golden girl on one end and America’s sweetheart on the other. Up until the release of her Oscar-nominated performance in Rachel Getting Married, in which she played a recovering alcoholic, we have to admit that we thought Anne Hathaway was more Meg than Meryl. But the now 27-year-old actress proved us wrong and -- despite her unfortunate role in 2009’s Bride Wars opposite Kate Hudson -- seems set on winning that Oscar the next time she gets a nod from the Academy. Her upcoming role in 2010’s Alice in Wonderland as The White Queen might not win her any awards, but with Tim Burton in the director’s chair and Johnny Depp playing The Mad Hatter, there’s no doubt that the film will at least have an impressive opening weekend and the box office. Her next Oscar nod might be as a supporting actress for her role as Maggie Murdock in 2010’s Love and Other Drugs, a film based on Jamie Reidy's memoir Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead as the cutthroat pharmaceutical salesman Reidy.

"Valentine's Day" Soundtrack

The first single from the Valentine's Day soundtrack, Taylor Swift's "Today Was a Fairytale," dropped on Tuesday, weeks before the movie's February 12 opening. The song first appeared in late December in a teaser trailer for the hotly anticipated rom-com.

In the sugary pop-country song, Swift echoes previous hits "You Belong With Me" and "Lovestory" as she describes her love interest's charming qualities. The 20-year-old Grammy nominee sings, "You were the prince/ I used to be the damsel in distress/ You took me by the hand/ And you picked me up at 6/ Today was a fairytale."

Swift, who appears in the film alongside rumored ex Taylor Lautner, is contributing another song, "Jump Then Fall," on the soundtrack, due out February 9. The disc also includes tracks by Leighton Meester and Robin Thicke, Amy Winehouse and Maroon 5. The movie itself is a who's who of Hollywood, starring Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Patrick Dempsey, Jennifer Garner, Queen Latifah and more.

Anne On Her Size & Award Season Advice

The Devil Wears Prada star says she has often sent back designer dresses to be altered so they fit her for the red carpet.

“If designers want to dress me then I am at the larger end of the Hollywood scale so they have to be fine with that,” she said.

“And I think what some designers do is if a dress doesn’t fit you because it’s been fitted to a size zero model they will remake the dress for you.”

Anne, 27, recently urged her showbiz peers to enjoy “every second” of the awards season.

“I don’t know how qualified I am to give any advice seeing as I have barely white-knuckled the award season myself. But I would just say enjoy every second,” said Anne, who was a Best Actress nominee at last year’s Oscars for her movie Rachel Getting Married.

“The only regrets that I have were the minutes that I was too nervous to take everything in. Oh, and don’t drink too much!”

Anne Hathaway Offers Advice For Awards Season

Hathaway has urged her peers to enjoy “every second” of the awards season.

The star picked up some tips from her time spent as a Best Actress nominee at last year’s Oscars for her movie Rachel Getting Married and now she is telling her showbiz pals to learn from her and others’ mistakes.

“I don’t know how qualified I am to give any advice seeing as I have barely white-knuckled the award season myself. But I would just say enjoy every second,” she says. “The only regrets that I have were the minutes that I was too nervous to take everything in. Oh, and don’t drink too much!”

Hathaway, 27, recently revealed that she loves attending showbiz parties.

“It always feel like I’m going off to prom,” she has said. “I feel like my inner eight-year-old is at the best party of her life. Being an actor is what I have dreamed of my whole life.”

Retrospective (Past Golden Globes Ceremonies)

Yesterday was the 67th Annual Golden Globes Awards and while Anne was not in attendance I wanted to reflect back on previous years where Anne did go.

Golden Globes 2009




Last year she was nominated of course for Rachel Getting Married. Of her nomination Anne told several media outlets:

"I got off the phone with him and called my parents. They were hopping around so happy, just so effusive and lovely. And I felt so bad, they were giving such great advice for how to handle it and I was half-asleep!

"I'd had a friend stay over because I needed someone to celebrate with or kind of cry with in the morning.

"We made eggs and just kind of danced around in my kitchen. It was kind of perfect, simple and very sweet.

Although she lost the award to the divine Kate Winslet she looked marvelous whist doing so!

Anne dawned a royal blue Armani Prive gown embroidered with Swarovski crystals for a stuctured look at the top, while the bottom was free-flowing. Her red carpet look was finished off jewels by Cleef & Arpels (including vintage-esque earrings) and a touch of Chanel Beaute perfume. She was my third pic for best dressed that evening, she looked exquisite. Her hair was loosely pulled into a bun which made the look all the more sophisticated. Her mom was her date for the big night.

Golden Globes 2006





Coming of the huge critical success of Brokeback Mountain, Anne and her co-stars attended a ton of award shows that year. At the Globes, Anne wore a more youthful but still very elegant one shouldered dress. The knee length with with a little flare and shimmery crystals complimented the navy blue ensemble. Hathaway opted for silver accessories in the form of a clutch, heels, and earrings. Her hair was in a delicate updo with an array of tiny braids. Make-up was left light and complimented her pale skin, Anne played up the lips with bold red lipstick and her eyes were dusted in a white shimmer powder. Finally a coat of blue (yes blue!) mascara was added to make her stunning dough eyes pop even more!

Brokeback was awarded Best Director, Best Motion Picture - Drama and Best Original Song in a Motion Picture. Original score and the supporting actor nominees Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams did not win. Best Actor was awarded to Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) while Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener) nabbed Supporting Actress. Memoirs of a Geisha took home Best Score.

Golden Globes 2004





Anne made an appearance at the 2004 After Parties with her Nicholas Nickleby co-star Charlie Hunnam. Her look was a black strapless cocktail dress. Her hair was in curls, pulled into an up-do. Oh so cute!

Golden Globes 2003





The 60th Golden Globe Awards marked Annie's first appearance at the awards - ever! In fact her look is still to this day my favorite of her Golden Globe's past. Sure her style has definitely evolved as her star rose and more designers have since become aware of her. But so far nothing has topped this memorable look for me! Anne was just 20 years old at the time and had only really been seen in Nicholas Nickleby, The Other Side of Heaven and The Princess Diaries so she was still a newbie. But did she ever make an entrance! I recall freaking out as I saw Anne walk the red carpet that year (I also freaked out in another manor when I saw that horrid Lara Flynn Boyle ballerina dress - yes that one.) Anne wore a flowy dress with the shades of pinks and green dyed effect. The bust featured a beaded overlay and on her shoulder was a flower accent. A modest, yet thigh high split which went under the bust also had another flower. The dress had a magenta layer flowing underneath. The look was completed with gold jewelry and shoes and finally pink clutch. So young and fresh, but stunningly appropriate as well!
