The Devil Wears Prada

star Anne Hathaway has split from her long-term boyfriend, according to several news reports.

Britain's

Daily Mail

is reporting 'exclusively' that Hathaway has finally broken up with her Italian hunk, Raffaelo Follieri.

Why?

Well, Hathaway reportedly pulled the plug on the tempestuous affair because of

"the effects his controversial business dealings could have on her career", so claims the

Mail

, anyway.

You'll recall that Follieri's charity, the Follieri Foundation, which purportedly funded vaccination programmes in developing countries, is being investigated by the New York State Attorney General's Office.

Word has it the charity has failed to file IRS tax disclosure forms.

Folleri has also been embroiled in

various other legal and financial woes

of late.

Hathaway, it seems, has had enough of his shenanigans.

So what's a girl to do with a broken heart and a pocketful of tarnished memories? Stick the slap on and bravely

face the world.

You go, girl.

Hogan gets threats

Hulk Hogan and his brood have been targeted by a callous caller who made a series of disturbing threats against their lives.

The threatening messages left on former wrestler Hogan's phone were allegedly made by Frank Graziano, the brother of John Graziano, who was left brain damaged last August when Hogan's son Nick Bollea

crashed his car

US radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge - a Hogan family friend - broadcast the messages during his show on Monday.

The voice on the calls repeatedly refers to the Hogan family as "whores", and threatens to urinate on the Hogan family's graves.

In one of the disturbing messages, the phantom caller says, "I'm going to have your son's a**. I don't give a f*** who you know - or how much money you got, you piece of s***."

It also threatens, "every Marine, every gangster, every lowlife, every crackhead and every scumbag is going to be looking" for Hogan and his "homosexual" son.

Florida police are currently

investigating

the calls.

Meanwhile, emotional home videos of Bollea's car crash victim, John Graziano, 23, have been released.

The video footage

shows what Graziano's life is like following the crash that left him brain damaged.

This is the reality, not some bitter war of words between aggrieved families.

Enough.

Quote of the day

"She is just going through a high school phase. You know dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She'll be waking up from that dream in no time."

"Who knows if I'll be there when she's ready to come to her senses though." - Billy Bob Thornton speaking of Angelina Jolie's ‘high-shool' crush on Brad Pitt.

Careless paranoia

Oh, George. You're lovely, but your constant state of paranoia is wearing us down.

George Michael is convinced the British Government uses his personal life to cover up a multitude of their scandals.

Michael thinks high-powered politicians use his and Britney Spears' sordid lives to keep "real news" at bay.

Riiiiiight.

He says, "In England I've probably had about 20 or 30 front pages in last two-and-a-half-years (and) what interests me is what else happened on those same days, and how much our government is getting away with day after day.

"It's the perfect cover-up to every major story they don't want us to hear: 'What did Britney Spears do today? Where did George Michael fall asleep?'"

Such a joker

Tattle tale merchant

Star

magazine reported last week that Joel Madden and Nicole Richie were planning to splash out on a "$2 million wedding".

And the loved-up couple's response? Madden posted a fake conformation

on his website.

It reads:

"WE DID IT!! NICOLE AND I FINALLY GOT MARRIED!! Click here for pictures!!

"HAHA. JUST KIDDING. So I feel really stupid even posting this, but I've been getting calls and texts from my family all week asking me why they weren't invited to my wedding.

"I guess the only answer I could give them was that I didn't know we were having one!" he added. "So I just found that Star magazine wrote some story about a 2 MILLION dollar wedding we are supposed to be having, and that's where it came from.

Blah, blah, blah...

Amazingly enough, we just don't care. Go feed your egos somewhere else.

So far, so good...

Lindsay Lohan's attempt at resurrecting her fading career just might pay off.

The beleaguered starlet is currently filming new flick

Labor Pains

, and on set sources say she's "earned high marks for professionalism".

One of the film's producers

says

: "We were a little bit reluctant to work with her, but she's been amazing."

Diligent and professional I'll go with, but as for amazing? Pipe it down.

Don't marry a Mick

Jerry Hall has banned her daughters from getting hitched to lotharios like her ex Sir Mick Jagger.

Hall, 51, insists her 23-year relationship with Jagger was doomed because of his legendary womanising.

It's a fate Hall wishes her daughters Elizabeth, 21, and Georgia-May, 16, can avoid.

She says, "No, never (would I allow them to date womanisers).

"But I don't think they would. They have far more confidence than I did, and they have great boundaries. It took me longer to learn those.

"I probably stayed with him for longer than I should have done."

Quote of the day 2

"A naked baby was placed on the stage once. We stopped playing right away for fear of damaging its eardrums. The mother wouldn't take it back until we had signed her baby." - Kiss star Gene Simmons.

Leave her alone

Keira Knightley's mother has lashed out at

news reports

that her daughter suffers from an eating disorder.

Sharman Macdonald is blaming persistent "playground bullies" for spreading vicious rumours about Knightley's praying-mantis-like figure.

Mamma Knightley insists that her 23-year-old daughter has inherited her tiny frame from her father.

Yeah, yeah, blame the genes.

Must try harder

Old Farts On The Desperation Block (aka NKOTB) performed at the

MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto on Sunday, and it was all shades of bad.

I die a little inside with every bum note.

Keep rehearsing, guys.

Kanye sucks

Karma's a beast...just as Kanye West.

Days after he threw an

almighty tanty

after a fan threw something on stage during one of his concerts, the petulant star has had a taste of his own medicine.

West was scheduled to perform at the

Bonnaroo

music festival in the US over the weekend. He honoured the commitment - but turned up over two hours late.

Angry mob

Tired and grumpy fans were

so irate

with the delayed performance; they angrily chanted "Kanye sucks" and pelted the empty stage with glow sticks.

Blind items

You guess the celebidiots...

* Which starlet with an often-troubled boyfriend actually plays for the other team - and puts up with her boy toy's habits to maintain hetero appearances?

* At a recent party this celebrity chef was all lovey dovey to his no name girlfriend. Holding hands, kissing, everything. Really sweet. UNTIL, this celebrity with a famous body and famous ex boyfriend started flirting with him when the girlfriend was mingling with others. Quicker than you can say 30 minute meals, Bam!, Good Eats! or whatever the catch phrase that may or may not apply here, phone numbers were exchanged and plans to meet the next night when girlfriend was going to be out of town. This by the way is not the first time this has happened.

Does my bum look big in this?

Kate Beckinsale is paranoid about the size of her butt.

The latest whispers say the actress demanded a butt double be hired for fleshy scenes in her latest movie

Whiteout

- because she thinks she's fat.

Film execs were forced to hire a $2000-a-day 'rent-a-butt' model to stand in for the actress during a steamy shower scene.

A source tells Britain's

The Mail On Sunday

, "Kate has a terrible self-image. She thinks she is fat and she is always complaining how certain outfits make her bottom look big. Of course, the reality is that she has the most amazing body.

"The script called for her character to be filmed nude in a shower, focusing in on her bottom and thighs.

"Kate insisted on a double being hired. She was quite open on the set about not liking her body and said she particularly loathed her bottom and was not comfortable baring it."

Beckinsale fat? Fat, my a$.

No sex please

This one made me chuckle (I know, it doesn't take much).

Rapper 50 Cent reportedly refuses to have sex with any naked groupies he finds huddled up in his hotel room.

He tells

Vibe

magazine: "I've been in hotel rooms, and girls were already there in the closet - naked. Hell, no! Are you kidding me? That's like Amsterdam. Amsterdam is fun for some people, but I don't want (no one) that costs $50. There's too many people that got $50!"

Got that? Me neither.

Whoa there, horsey!

Here be vintage video footage of Sarah Jessica Parker. Just because.

She doesn't need Anything But You.
