Anne Hathaway dumps bad beau, abandons good dog?
"Get Smart" star Anne Hathaway wised up in time to dump her Italian boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, before he was arrested on fraud charges.
But the New York Post is quoting an FOF (friend of Follieri) asking if Anne could please come and pick up her 2-year-old chocolate Lab, Esmeralda.
Apparently, the poor pooch is being cared for by Follieri's mother, Anna, who's in the U.S. from Italy for cancer treatment and is living in his $40,000-a-month Trump Tower penthouse.
Apparently, Follieri, unable to make bail, can't even afford a dog walker. And his mom is not well enough to walk or care for the Lab. Can you imagine that Lab going crazy being cooped up in an apartment?
The source said, "I feel bad for the dog. She's a beautiful, sweet dog who probably greeted the FBI agents with her tail wagging."
Nice way to treat a dog who helped her get a plum role in a film!
The actress, 24, told People that the night before her second audition for "Becoming Jane, "My dog decided to eat the hotel slipper, so she was up the whole night vomiting. I slept maybe an hour." She'd had to beg for the audition in the first place because of her squeaky clean, perky image.
"When I arrived at the interview, I was tired and wasn't in a very good mood. I guess Julian (director Julian Jarrold) realized that I wasn't the bright, happy, smiley, untroubled girl from 'The Princess Diaries.' He offered me the role after that."
C'mon, Anne. Pick up your pooch! Be a good dog mommy.
Grrr. All those in favor, leave your comments here!

By all means, she should get the poor dog back. It needs walking and petting!
All labs need is a little attention and a few short walks a day. I hope somebody steps up to take care of her.
I think you guys are blowing this into something bigger than it is. Ann is probably on holiday or on set. ...
Perhaps the dog was never really hers and is a painful reminder of her love for a cad.
Also, those going through cancer treatments often appreciate having somthing to take their minds off their own troubles. With that in mind Follieri's mother might start working on mounting her son's defense.
Oh please, get in the REAL WORLD people. She LIVED IT UP WTH THE GUY(you know how many people are JEALOUS of him?)Dont be so stupid. And of course that DOG has people who will take care of it. Rememer ALOT of people in business do what he DID. They just didnt get caught. Uma's marrying a guy whos been called into 'question'. Get it? And how about business dealings of your government?, and 'Hollywood'? No one should steal, but your paycheck from your place of employment aint that clean either. Wake up. Somebody has to do it.

They ran an interview in W where Anne explained that she didn't abandon her dog - the day before this 'story' ran, she had someone pick up Esmerelda for her. It's so sad that the entire media empire is out to villify a 25 year old girl who had a really bad (public) split. The dog element is just an extra jab.
i love u
