Hathaway able to laugh at herself on 'SNL'

When Anne Hathaway rebuffed David Letterman's attempts to discuss her
ex-boyfriend, Rafaello Follieri, during her appearance last week on
"The Late Show," some wondered: Would all things Follieri be off-
limits when she appeared on "Saturday Night Live" Oct. 4?
Just moments into her opening monologue, the answer became clear.
Hathaway joked that, last summer, "I broke up with my boyfriend... and
two weeks later he was sent to prison for fraud ... I mean, we've all
been there, right, ladies?"
Friends close to Hathaway say they weren't surprised that Hathaway was
a good sport.
"She is so moving on," says a friend. “People didn't really give her
enough credit when she was in the middle of it all. News flash — she's
always been fun and a little self-deprecating."
Hathaway's appearance on "SNL" helped the show score one of its
highest-rated shows since 2002. Tina Fey, who reprised her role as
vice-presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was also a
huge draw. Although a few well-placed sources maintain that Fey will
indeed appear as Palin every week until the elections, a rep for "SNL"
says, "There is no way to confirm her."

Besides being easy on the eyes, she's also an accomplished comedienne.
The interesting thing about her monologue is that, for a change it was a
monologue, instead of the stupid sketches or Q&A sessions they usually
do. I was hoping for some comment about how the feds took ehr diary
into evidence.
