Bonnie Fuller, whose employment at American Media might very well consist of finding a new job, recording video segments, and blogging for Huffington Post, weighs in, as she so often does with women in peril, on Anne Hathaway, who must trudge along with promoting Get Smart while the press gleefully rips ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri to shreds. But to Fuller, who invented the "Just Like Us!" feature while running Us Weekly, Hathaway's struggle isn't about a Hollywood star down on her luck, but is instead the story of so many women who get duped by "good guys."
Yes, Ms. Hathaway's multi-million dollar swindling scam of a relationship makes her just like us!
I mean, if someone who is as gorgeous and successful as Hathaway can't find a real life "good guy" is there hope for any single woman? And if a woman can "play" as empowered a role as Agent 99 — and I'm not kidding, 99 is a very impressive chick — how can she be so disempowered in her personal life? [...]
But Hathaway can take some comfort in the fact that she is not alone — this has been quite the season of smart, successful women getting conned by the men they thought were princes.
So true. And — in this case — Hathaway's standout performance in Brokeback Mountain, she herself plays a wife in denial about her husband's homosexuality. In fact, even the extraordinarily capable Agent 99 ends up getting conned by an ex-lover who is revealed to be a double agent.
Maybe, Anne Hathaway, shouldn't feel so badly after all. Almost every woman would still love to live a fairytale.
