Anne Hathaway Knows How To Play The Game






Fox News -In her latest drama “Love & Other Drugs,” Anne Hathaway portrays free-spirited Maggie Murdock, who suddenly finds herself under the “drug” of love when she is charmed by Viagra salesman Jamie Randall, played by Jake Gyllenhaal...“It’s racy – very racy. I keep asking people if it is too sexy for them. However it is just part of the job,” Hathaway told Pop Tarts at the film’s Hollywood premiere last week. “That being said, it is intensely mortifying taking your clothes off in front of other people, but it is also intensely mortifying doing a lot of things in front of people and I’ve learned how to deal with that. Who  knows if I will ever do it again, it depends on the material.”

Anne Hathaway knows how to play the Hollywood game better than most A-listers and this just proves it.  Her movies and roles have bombed since 2005 (Devil Wears Prada) and she had to do something about it.  Girly wedding comedies just weren't bringing home the bacon anymore, and now she's making a veteran move, doing the nude scene.

And if that weren't enough, she's playing the media like a fiddle.  Spreading the word about her nude scene to just about any publication or media outlet that will listen, all the while maintaining her princess bride "good girl" image by playing up being "mortified" about being seen naked on film.  Bravo.  It's a tough line to walk and she's doing it brilliantly.  There will be case studies on how to resurrect your career by showing your cans while maintaining your respectable image done in the future, as a guide for all mediocre actresses who want to break through.

PS: I see she even mentioned to keep the media from mentioning that she's previously done nude scenes in the movie Havoc.  We need to get her PR person working over here at The Alt-Tabs.  This blog would be nationally recognized tomorrow. Just amazing.
