Anne Hathaway

When word of Raffaello Follieri being questioned about fraud came to light, my first thought was pretty straight-forward: “so that’s the kind of money it takes to date Anne Hathaway?”  And, even now, I’m not sure that I blame him all that much – Anne Hathaway is hot!

But, all good things must come to an end, and Raffaello’s 15 minutes are up.  People is reporting that Raffaello Follieri has been sentenced to 4.5 years in prison after pleading guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.

Through an interpreter Follieri is quoted as saying “What I did was wrong and there is no point in making excuses.  I will never be able to wash away the shame.  I just hope that someday those who have been hurt by my actions will forgive me.”  Hmmmm… wonder how Anne’s feeling now.  (More of my opinion after the jump.)
