Anne Hathaway's Ex Beau Got 5 Years Jail Time
NYPost reposts that Anne Hathaway's ex-heartthrob is heading to prison - and it won't be one in his native Italy, which the con artist so desperately wanted. Raffaello Follieri, 30, had pleaded guilty in Manhattan to charges related to misusing up to $6 million from billionaire Ron Burkle and other investors. Prosecutors say the scammer paid for an extravagant lifestyle with "Get Smart" actress Hathaway, instead of using the money for his stated purpose of redeveloping Catholic Church properties.--
The handsome, smooth-talking Italian faced a suggested sentence of between 51 and 63 months in federal prison under the proposed plea agreement for wire fraud and money laundering, said his lawyer, Flora Edwards. The Post recently revealed Follieri was in plea talks. Authorities nabbed him in June, a week after Hathaway, 25, ended their relationship. Plea discussions hit a snag when Follieri - who is jailed in lieu of $21 million bail - balked at the idea of doing his sentence in an American prison, a source said. "The one glitch in this thing was that he was insisting on serving his sentence in Italy," the source said. "He was demanding to serve his time in Italy, and [prosecutors] said, 'You're out of your mind.' "

His spokeswoman, Melanie Bonvicino, said he is "most definitely" remorseful and "fully accepts responsibility for his actions.""He apologizes to his family and friends for the untoward scrutiny that they have endured this past year, as he looks forward to rebuilding his life by dedicating time, energy and personal resources to global health and humanitarian initiatives which continue to be of great importance to him."Follieri had been scheduled to plead guilty this afternoon.

But that hearing was postponed until this morning after Manhattan federal prosecutors realized they had scheduled the wrong judge.Follieri came to America in 2003 with ambitious schemes and claims of top Vatican connections. He reportedly became friendly with Bill Clinton's aide, Douglas Band, which enabled him to climb into the former president's social orbit.Burkle, a friend of Clinton's, originally agreed to put up $55 million to bankroll Follieri's plans to buy and develop properties of Catholic dioceses in America.

Hathaway's spokesman said the actress would have no comment.But in a new interview in W magazine, Hathaway revealed "as soon as I found out about the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a press tour for 'Get Smart.' And then I spent a week in shock at a friend's house."Hathaway said she has been staying at a pal's downtown home since moving out of Follieri's pad. "I have to find a place to live," she told W. "It's a situation where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden. But just as suddenly, my friends threw another rug back under me."

Anne Hathaway Seeking For Honest Men
Anne Hathaway, who's suddenly becomes available after her recent breakup with accused con-man Raffaello Follieri (in pix hehind her), has decided to block off a potentially busy wooing avenue. "I try not to date where I work. It makes life easier," she tells Britain's Independent newspaper. "Besides, the possibility has never really arisen. I don't say no to anybody, because I'd hope that people wouldn't say no to me just because I'm an actor but they'd have to be pretty extraordinary."
