Anne Hathaway Never Almost Drowned But Appreciates Your Concern

CelebritiesDirt Bag

Contrary to reports everywhere on the Internet (and to the riveting tale told in these Daily Mail captions), Anne Hathaway did not nearly drown two weeks ago. This is comforting because it means that Anne Hathaway did not experience a brush with death, and it also means that a sea of paparazzi weren’t loafing around snapping pics while the actress struggled to stay above the ocean surface. Hooray!

“I’m fine,” said Hathaway while promoting her new film at Sundance. “I really do appreciate everybody’s concern but that was a
picture that had a false story attached to it. The real story is not as
interesting.”

Anne Hathaway joked that she was “playing charades [and] pulled Titanic“; the “real story” is probably that she was just in the ocean minding her own damn business. Seriously, if people took high-def candid photos of me while I was frolicking in the ocean, the news story would probably be “rare water demon in a cheap wig washes ashore to beachgoers’ terror and concern.” [HuffPo]


Justin Bieber‘s identity continues to creep towards the spoilt prince of the rowdy goblin kingdom: yesterday, he went to a strip club and spent $75k in dollar bills, mostly by flinging them around. He also reportedly kicked in a door. Why can’t he just stay in and play Settlers of Catan or something for once? [NY Daily News]


Shia LaBeouf‘s whole life is one big performance piece, confirms Shia LaBeouf. He revealed his master plan — a conceptual “meta-modernist” art project created in collaboration with some important art world people — on Twitter (duh). The posts have since been deleted.

Quoth Shia: “All art is either plagarisum [sic] or revolution & to be revolutionary in art today, is to be reactionary.” Totally. [ONTD]
