Actress Anne Hathaway likes to portray herself as a grounded, down-to-earth person who just happens to be a celebrity. But at her recent appearance at the Toronto Film Festival to promote her new movie, sources say that Hathaway was behaving like a typical Hollywood diva- making demands of an interview crew and delaying the interview until she got what she wanted for breakfast.
While Anne Hathaway’s character Andy in The Devil Wears Prada lets herself get wrapped up in the glitz and glam of fashion, she ultimately rejects the diva way of life.
But lately, rumors of high-maintenance requests have swirled around the actress, making many wonder whether Anne is taking a cue from a different character from the popular movie about a demanding boss and those who serve her.
After delaying a day of interviews with just her breakfast order, Anne is beginning to resemble editrix Miranda Priestly instead of down-to-earth Andy.
“Anne requested lattes but only ones with soy milk, so she made a guy go out and bring
back five soy lattes for her and her crew,” a source tells OK! of the Rachel Getting Married event at the Hollywood life House in Toronto on Sept. 6.“Then she requested scrambled eggs since she didn’t like the breakfast available. The same guy had to go to a restaurant next door and ask for the eggs. It took 45 minutes, and then she barely even touched them!”
Most of us are expected to scrounge for our own breakfasts before an early-morning appointment- but I guess the rules are different for celebs. Not only do they get free meals, but they also get free clothes, jewels, and even cars, simply because of who they are. I suppose even the most level-headed person would eventually turn into a high-maintenance princess in an environment like that. Or maybe, Anne got used to a certain lifestyle after hanging out with her embezzler/con-artist boyfriend, Raffaelo Follieri.

oh please. anne hathaway was probably PROVIDED with someone to go fetch her coffee and breakfast and it was spun into some sort of “servant boy” scenario. On top of it, scrambled eggs and soy milk are NOT diva demands. If someone prefers a soy latte, whether for digestive reasons or personal beliefs, they should get what they want, not just drink whatever was brought simply because it was brought to them.
What’s up with that dress?! I hate it!
I ditto CiCi
How dare she want something other than cream in her coffee. And scrambled eggs for breakfast? What a bitch. Who eats scrambled eggs for breakfast? What is this world coming to when someone wants to make sure they eat a decent breakfast before working?
Sorry, couldn’t resist. This whole story is so ludicrous.
Mmm… scrambled eggs. I didn’t have time for breakfast today. 😥
Hopefully she’s not really a diva, like the article says. The egg thing sounds a little demanding, but maybe the breakfast that they offered was something she hates. I know my tummy is very picky in the morning. Early in the day, just about everything sounds gross to me, so if I find something that sounds good, I’m happy that I don’t have to force my food down. Maybe she’s that way, too.
I also wanted to mention that, what the hell was she thinking, wearing that dress? Oh well, we can’t always make the right choice, all the time. 😐
OMG. Ditto CiCi and cmoody.
Gotta agree here — those don’t sound like crazy demands.
Someone else covered it (can’t remember which website) but Anne was secret smoking during the film fest. I saw her a few times taking quick drags, but never a full cigarette.
her eyes always look so dead and flat. this worries me.
God is this overblown. CiCi beat meto it. Seems like she made reasonable demands to someone who is probably paid a good $50k a year to go get her lattes and pick up her dry cleaning. Its not like she can just run down to Starbux herself and get the lattes when she’s expected to be in makeup and getting her hair done for a 3 hour interview session. Big deal, she wanted eggs for breakfast. God, scraping the barrel here.
I don’t know girls… have any of you read the Vanity Fair story about her and Chef Boyardee? Everybody interviewed made it sound like she is a MAJOR diva.
It really changed my opinion of her. 😯
Just playing devil’s advocate here: Are there any readers who are vegetarian, vegan, lactose intolerant, etc.? If you have special dietary needs, and you are going to an event where they will be feeding you, but you don’t know WHAT they’ll be feeding you, do you make sure you have something you CAN eat beforehand (or take it with you), or do you demand that your host go out and find you something that meets your requirements?
OF course, us little people might have rules of etiquette that don’t apply in this case…
Maybe we should give her a break here. Everyone has a bad day-maybe this was it for her. And hopefully this paparazzi story will help her control her possible diva like behavior in the future…
Hey just got duped and scammed by the man she called the love of her life. Her last movie was a dud. And she is single like Jennifer Aniston now-it must be pretty messed up to be Ann Hathaway right now-Right???
LOL
Wow, MSat, she asked for scrambled eggs and a soy latte, not a goose that’ll lay a bleedin’ golden egg!! Assume you’re not being serious.
Have no clue if she’s a bona fide diva in reality but this really would be laughed out of court as evidence. 😯
My vegan ass would only drink a latte if it was soy. The whole making everyone late thing is a pain, but it had to have been someone’s job to feed her (and get her there on time). Almost her whole job is her appearance–I can see why she would only want to eat certain things (and not eat all of her eggs, if she didn’t want to). There has to be some real diva behavior going on out there, right? Let’s hear more of that.
To go against the other readers here, everything about this woman screams diva to me. Usually, the more someone tries to portray how down to earth they are, the less they actually ARE down to earth. She seems to be trying too hard to give off that regular folk vibe, and something about her just rubs me the wrong way. Plus she’s come off as sooo pretentious or elitist in all the articles I’ve read on her. It all started when she went for the “I have to PROOOVE myself” role in Havoc right after all the princess movies. SHe’s been trying to prove herself to be something she’s not ever since. And judging by these comments, it’s working.
Worst.Dress.Ever.
Whatever…this story is so spun! And her dress IS fug!
Damn it will someone go out and get me a soy latte?!?!?!!! Someone? Anyone? Please??*
*not being a celebrity sucks.
Being lactose intolerant and a soy drinker, I would only drink soy and frankly, I don’t think I should have eat ahead of time in order to spare other people. Maybe she is allergic (even slightly) to milk and that’s why she ordered it – no one would say anything if it was a peanut allergy. Soy should be everywhere now, anyways – there is a big enough demand for it. Equality for the lactose intolerant!
I don’t think that was diva like at all! At least the guy could get it next door instead of having to go across town.
BTW: What was the Vanity Fair Chef Boyardee story about?
Breakfast–ooooooooooh shudder. Much ado about nothing 🙄
It doesn’t sound like the breakfast order was any big deal, especially with a restaurant right next door (45 minutes to scramble some eggs? Good grief!)
However, I have to strongly disagree with my fellow commenters about the dress. It’s fabulous and I adore it!!!!
I’d have liked it if the poofiness started at the waistline and not so high up….
her dress looks like a pollock painting.
C’moooon! Since when asking for soy lattes and eggs is a diva request???
Eh. Call me when she has all of the bathroom fixtures taken apart or if she beats up a photographer.
She looks like a spaniel.
@kitkat – the VF Chef Boyardee story was all about the Hathaway/Raffelli/Vati-CON bull$hit… but all of the people on Raffelli’s side (his former business associates, etc) made it sound like Anne *totally* knew what he was doing, and was *totally* okay with it as long as he was spending money on her.
It’s the issue with Marilyn on the cover – it’s pretty good.
She is not pretty, too tall and awkward, trying too much and not really suited to be a movie star.
It’s one thing to ask for a certain kind of milk- but to demand that for other 5 people (now they all vegans?! Is that the new excuse for being a diva?) BUT why can’t you just drink tea or juice instead of having someone run and bring 5 drinks for her entourage
Oh, and why are there 5 people who serve her for a breakfast to begin with?
Does she needs 5 assistants to hold her hand while she makes an appearance?
She seems like a spoiled brat.
She’s far less appealing to me now that I know she smokes. Not attractive.
The Vanity Fair article did make it clear that our girl Anne loves her luxuries. However, I’m not too sure scrambled eggs and a soy latte are over the top demands. Face it, every one of these celebs become accustomed to getting and having what they want when they want it.
the next time any of you are at starbucks and they get your order wrong – just drink it then with a smile, okay? since you think it’s no big deal. even tho you paid for it a certain way, and wanted it a certain way for WHATEVER REASON (don’t have to be a vegan, maybe she prefers the taste of soy). just drink it since you seem to think one should be happy with WHATEVER.
requesting soy milk and insisting on getting what you actually requested is NOT diva like. and i assure you – anne is provided with people to FETCH the soy lattes. let’s not be naive.
Why should you trust the friends of her ex boyfriend when it comes to judging her? They think she has something to do with his arrest, so now they’re trying to diss her. It’ll take more to convince me that she’s a bitchy diva than the way she likes her breakfast eggs and drink and vindictive ex’s friends.
Ethan, you’re gay and not in a position to judge women so….
Good point Lara, of course his buddies will try to diss her.
And to my fav vampire: 😆
Thanks Kaiser. I’m sure since it’s the Oct. issue it’s still on newstands so I’ll check it out!
And to the people who are complaining about her having 5 assistants please remember that they are getting PAID to do their job which they could quit if they wanted. Furthermore if it were that bad they’d deal with it for a few years then write a book about it and sell the movie rights! LOL Can’t feel bad for them then huh?
She probably went and threw up her breakfast later anyway!
