Anne Hathaway talks about scenes with Jake in “Love and Other Drugs" at Performa dinner


Today, we have six clips from Edward Zwick’s new film, Love and Other Drugs. The romantic dramedy stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a fast-talking, shallow pharmaceutical rep who learns to love when he falls for an artsy chick played by Anne Hathaway. The “drama” in the “dramedy” comes from the fact that her character has Parkinson’s Disease. Source: www.collider.com

"JAKE Gyllenhaal reportedly spent $200,000 flying new love Taylor Swift to London.

"The Brokeback Mountain actor — who is currently promoting his new movie Love And Other Drugs in the British capital — flew the country music star in by private jet on Friday night, and the pair were said to be holed up in London’s exclusive Dorchester hotel until yesterday morning.Taylor — who has dated Twilight actor Taylor Lautner and Disney star Joe Jonas in the past — was due to be in the city to perform at the Radio 1 Teen Awards yesterday, but jetted in early to see Jake.“Jake wanted some quality time with Taylor,” a source told British newspaper The Sun. “If he hadn’t done this, they would have missed each other as he had to fly back to the US. He hired a jet which would have easily set him back $200,000.” Source: www.showbizspy.com

"Many actresses insist on a 'nudity rider', an agreement about what can and can't be shown when doing nude scenes. But not confident Anne who strips off regularly in scenes with her co-star Jake Gyllenhaal in new flick Love and Other Drugs.And while the 28-year-old admits she was nervous about baring all, she says she wanted to turn down the nudity agreement she was offered.She told British Elle magazine: 'I decided I didn't want to be doing these scenes and thinking, 'Oh, I can only turn my body 36 degrees, because we'll be breaking the contract'. The Hollywood star said she is beginning to embrace her body. Hathaway added: '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.' Source: wwwmonstersandcritics.com

“I wasn’t even naked that much”, Anne Hathaway was saying on Saturday, as Cindy Sherman passed the brussels sprouts.

This was at a dinner, a benefit for Performa, the New York nonprofit arts organization that, in the five years since its creation, has sponsored performance art works as ambitious and various as Shirin Neshat’s “Logic of the Birds”; Adam Pendleton’s “The Revival,” a politically skewed rendition of an evangelical revival; and Francesco Vezzoli’s restaging of a Luigi Pirandello obscurity at the Guggenheim Museum, which notably featured Natalie Portman wearing a mustache.
“There’s always that one question,” said Ms. Hathaway, who arrived fresh from a daylong marathon of interviews for her current movie, “Love and Other Drugs.”
She was referring to the kind of canned query journalists on the celebrity beat repeat until their subject’s head threatens to implode. All anyone wanted to know about this time was how it felt to perform naked bedroom gymnastics with Jake Gyllenhaal, Ms. Hathaway said.
“It’s really only a small part of the film,” she said, deflecting further inquiry with her megawatt smile". Source: www.nytimes.com
