In case anybody missed it the first time around, Anne Hathaway’s SNL episode is playing again tonight. I mention this for two reasons: [ol] [li]I am madly in love with Anne Hathaway[/li][li]It was easily the best SNL episode of the year so far, including the election ones[/li][li]And I’m not just saying that because of #1[/li][/ol] This episode has: Kristen Wiig in a brilliant performance on the Lawrence Welk Show, Fred Armisen’s ingenious Barney Frank impersonation, an Extreme Activities Competition, Mary Poppins finally explaining the meaning of supercalifrajelisticexpyalladocious, Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals, and Jason Sudeikis not being a gay guy. ---

I don’t know if it was as good as the Ben Affleck episode… however this was a good one. When I saw the Lawrence Welk show sketch the first time I nearly pee’d myself when you see Kristin Wiig’s hands for the first time. And, I agree… Anne Hathaway is quite the fetching young lady. ---

I never cared much either way about Anne Hathaway until I happened to do a Google Image search on her name once. I think it’s the fourth pic that comes up, even on safe search. Huminah huminah huminah! That is no safe search! ---

I am fond of Anne Hathaway. ---

The Ben Affleck/David Cook episode was my favorite so far this season, but you’re right, friedo, this episode was worth re-watching. ---

I finally watched _The Devil Wears Prada_ the other day, and was reminded of a question I’ve long had about her – does anyone find her attractive? Her features are enormous, completely out of proportion to the size of her face. I’m guessing the answer to this question is “yes,” but damn, what an odd-looking woman. ---

My husband is of the same opinion. Personally, I find her attractive. He thinks she looks deformed. ---

And only to stress that physical attractiveness is a personal preference, I find Anne Hathaway vastly more attractive than Angelina Jolie. ---

> [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > Well, remember that she was supposed to be playing the fat, ugly one in that movie. > > I hate Hollywood. She absolutely was not. That is flatly untrue, unfair, and completely ignores one of the movie’s central plot points. Her character _wasn’t fashionably attired_. (Which was rather easily made true.) She was never claimed to be fat or ugly; the difference between her and her co-workers was her manner of dress. ---

You’re forgetting their cutting nickname for her: _Six_. Although she made it down to a virtuous size four by the end of the movie. ---

(Which was rather easily made true.) She was never claimed to be fat or ugly; the difference between her and her co-workers was her manner of dress. It is flatly true, fair, and revolves totally around the major plot point. As **Gala Matrix Fire** said, she was a horrible size 6 (gasp!) and had to slim down to fit in, and also literally to fit in the sample dresses than she started wearing but couldn’t get into at the beginning. Even more to the point, she was contrasted strongly and continually to Emily Blunt’s thinness. There was a huge controversy over this at the time the film was released. [http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Devil-Wears-Prada-Forced-Emily-Blunt-To-Emaciate-Herself-533.html](http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Devil-Wears-Prada-Forced-Emily-Blunt-To-Emaciate-Herself-533.html) > [@](#): > > British actress EMILY BLUNT was asked to slim down to “sickness thin” for her role in fashion industry satire THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. > > The petite MY SUMMER OF LOVE actress was astounded that Hollywood bosses wanted her to be unhealthily skinny. The 23-year-old says, "It’s the only thing I’ve ever done where they wanted me to lose weight. This woman asked, ‘How much do you weigh?’ and when I told her she made a face and said, ‘You have to get in shape.’ I said, ‘Well, really, I think I am in shape.’ “She shook her head as if to say, ‘Poor thing.’ So I had to ask just how thin she wanted me to be, She said, ‘On-the-edge of sickness thin,’ so, I figured, ‘Great, I’ll call you from A&E (Accident and Emergency).’” Ridiculously skinny Anne Hathaway played the fat, ugly one, and was transformed Cinderella style by the end into the ridiculously skinny, fashionable movie star that she is in real life. Something for every young girl to aspire to.
