Anne Hathaway and James Franco To Host The Oscars?

 Anne Hathaway and James Franco To Host The Oscars?

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that ‘Love and Other Drugs‘ star Anne Hathaway and ‘127 Hours‘ star James Franco will host the Academy Awards next year.

I’ve just learned that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has asked James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host the Academy Awards, and it “looks like” both young stars have accepted the offer. There is always the chance that one or both of them might back out because of prior commitments and other concerns. But my sources say the host announcement could be made as soon as this week…

What’s most unusual about their hosting is that both thesps may be Oscar nominees themselves in the fiercely competitive Best Actor and Actress categories this awards season…

I don’t know… the comedians often seem to have trouble being as funny as normal when they’re hosting the Oscars, but I think I’d rather see them try, at least. What do you think:
UPDATE: It appears that both actors have accepted and it’s a done deal. The official statement:

“James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons— fresh, exciting and multi-talented. We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and entertain the world on February 27. We are completely thrilled that James and Anne will be joining forces with our brilliant creative team to do just that.”

Quote Of The Day: Anne Hathaway

 Quote Of The Day: Anne Hathaway

“I think most people who have made it to 28 can relate to finding it difficult to let love in. Finding the right person is only half the battle. It’s not enough to be gifted at loving; you have to be gifted at receiving love – and that can be really tough.”

– Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway: ‘Being Skinny is Not Sustainable, Not Advisable, Not Enjoyable’

 Anne Hathaway: ‘Being Skinny is Not Sustainable, Not Advisable, Not Enjoyable’

Anne Hathaway, whose weight fluctuated visibly in the past years, shares a few weight and beauty image-related thoughts with us:

My identity used to be shaped on my appearance so much. I don’t think I was shallow – I just think I was young. I focus on other things a lot more now. I’ve hit the point in my life where I understand that being skinny is not sustainable, and nor is it advisable, and nor is it enjoyable,’ she said.

‘From the age of 25 to 27 – and this is a little embarrassing to admit – I looked under my eyes every single day, because I thought, “It’s going, it’s going, it’s going! And then I realised the other day they’re not wrinkles; they’re smile lines. If you look at pictures of me from a young age, I’ve been smiling the same way since I was little. And I had that wonderful moment when you realise, “That’s who I am.” Botox would erase that.’

… says Anne.

Anne Hathaway Dishes On “Love & Other Drugs”

 Anne Hathaway Dishes On “Love & Other Drugs”

She’s quite the versatile actress, and Anne Hathaway is excited for everyone to see her new movie “Love & Other Drugs.”

The “Get Smart” gal told press she really turned up the heat for the flick, adding a dimension of sexuality she hasn’t shown before.


Anne shared with FOX Pop Tarts, “It’s racy – very racy. I keep asking people if it is too sexy for them. However it is just part of the job.”

“That being said, it is intensely mortifying taking your clothes off in front of other people, but it is also intensely mortifying doing a lot of things in front of people and I’ve learned how to deal with that. Who knows if I will ever do it again, it depends on the material.”

Anne Hathaway Does Vogue and Brings the Quote of the Day

Anne Hathaway Does Vogue and Brings the Quote of the Day

Anne Hathaway is Vogue’s covergirl this month and she wows us with her big smile and elegance. Here’s a little quote from Anne:

On aging in Hollywood: “I’m entering a new phase of my career where the stories are becoming a lot more specific about where the character is in her life,” Hathaway says. “People don’t always want to tell stories about women in their 30s and 40s and 50s. Obviously, some of those ages are pretty far off for me, but I know it’s coming. What I’ve observed and what I’ve imagined—and definitely what I’m hoping—happens as you get older is that there’s a mellowing, an acceptance that comes with time,” she says. “I guess that I’ll find out.”
