Here are some photos of a grumpy-looking Anne Hathaway leaving LA yesterday. She was entering LAX in these photos. These are her travel clothes! I always think it’s such a bold move to travel in white. I only travel (even if it’s just a road trip) in dark colors, just because I’m the kind of person who picks up mysterious stains along the way. The only thing worse than accumulating soda/liquor/food stains while traveling is accumulating those stains while wearing a white ensemble. I do love her tote bag – it’s gorgeous! As for the pants… they look like pajama pants, right? I’m sure they’re designer and they probably cost $900, but good God… they are very ugly and unflattering. I actually think they might have been cuter in skinny-jean form, although if they were skinny jeans, Adam Shulman would be wearing them, not Annie.
Speaking of Shulman and his skinny jeans, there’s a story going around this week that Annie is not very pleased with Shulman’s “house-husband” ways. Girl, you were the one who married him.
Is Anne Hathaway not satisfied with her husband Adam Shulman’s career path? According to Star magazine, yes!
The tabloid claims that Hathaway is “determined to jump-start her husband’s career in Hollywood, and made him an executive producer on her movie Song One.’”
While that may partially be true, the mag also alleges that “Anne was frustrated with Adam’s lack of career direction. She wasn’t interested in being married to a househusband.’”
But RumorFix reached out to a rep for the actress who tells us the article is “completely false.”
The rep clarifies, “Adam is a jewelry designer as well as a producer. Anne and Adam have been nurturing Song One as a project for years.”
Ah, yes. The “jewelry designer” label, which is still so bizarre to me. It’s like a trophy wife calling herself a “handbag designer.” As for Song One, Annie promoted it at Sundance and the film got horrendous reviews. Adam Shulman’s jewelry designing/executive producing career path is not very secure. But, again, she married him. They both knew the deal. And I think Annie wanted to be “the star” of that relationship anyway.

I always find it weird when people wear white on planes. You know you’re going to spill something…or the person next to you will spill something on you. Bad idea. The only thing I know about her husband is he sucked her toe when she got cut by something in the ocean. The pics were hilarious though.
“It’s like a trophy wife calling herself a “handbag designer.”
ooooo McConaughey shaaaaaaaaaade. LOL
Meh. It’s the Star. I’m sure Anne adores her little skinny jean wearing sidekick.
Hate her. Always have. Always will.
I liked her around the time she did The Princess Diaries. And I loved The Devil Wears Prada and Becoming Jane. Then her personality got in the way I guess.
I watched the princess diaries so much, that when I re-watched it the other day without having seen it in YEARS I still knew nearly every line. I found her a little annoying in it, but mostly likable. The bigger she got, the more annoying she seemed.
Garry Marshall wrote in his memoir that Annie can be a little pretentious. In the press junket for the first Princess movie, Annie started spouting philosophy and all this mumbo jumbo to impress the media with her “smarts.” However, she was turning them off so Garry gave her advice to stick with talking about her hair and her clothes make up or whatever frivolous stuff.
I liked her circa Princess and Devil. I absolutely abhorred her in Les Miz. I saw it on DVD by the way. She DID NOT sing as well as the Broadway stars. She simpered through the whole damn song and her acting was weak at best. She won the Oscar because she shaved her head.
BTW, when is she going to grow out of that hideous twin haircut (hubby has the same one)?
I do too. I’ve tried to like her because she has so many fans especially on this site – but I just can’t. I feel like she’s the definition of smug. …But I do love her white tote bag. And I even sort of like her silk pants — but she styled them horribly.
Right with you there. Although her personality and persona are insufferable, my main problem with her is that she’s such a crap, scenery-chewing, self-conscious actress but still gets work.
Fortunately her bid to be a “fashion icon” has pretty much failed with all her terrible outfit choices. And thank GOD people have seemed to stop calling her “the New Audrey Hepburn.” It’s such an insult to the memory of the great, truly beautiful and stylish Hepburn.
Her personality is definitely grating.
Maybe he should just start a ‘lifestyle’ brand. Curated to appeal to the finest hipsters, skinny jean wearers and people who just know how to tell the little people how to live.
Then he can have a cage death match with Gwyneth and whoever that women is who married Ryan Reynolds. ONLY ONE CAN SURVIVE!
Love you.
I would watch this.
I love this!!! And please make it happen.
Especially WHITE skinny jeans. He rocks those!
If she is heading back to NY I bet she will be cold on the other end. It’s not spring yet I know the clock is changing this weekend in the US but still…………
It’s cold as an ice covered mountain in NY. She might want to rethink that spring get-up.
So he’s a producer the same way Cash Warren and Matt Rutler are producers. Just admit they’re kept men.
Who is Matt Rutler?
Christina Aguilera’s BBD/fiance.
Cash Warren is also a sock designer, according to yesterday’s Alba post. I think jewelry is a degree more respectable, lol.
Oh so Cash has joined Rob Kardashian in the sock designing game? Who knew all the money was in stocks – ha I mean SOCKS?!
Sorry, but I hate this. On one hand everybody says “oh, those stupid, stupid men, they always feel intimidated by women who earn more money and try to underminde them”. And there you have a couple were this is not the case and he has no ambition to become a celebrity (because in that case everybody would screem that he’s just using her) but to stay just the way he’s always been and BOOM, it’s also wrong because now he is a kept man. So what is he supposed to do?
I don’t think anyone is criticizing him because he isn’t a celebrity – the problem is that he doesn’t seem to have a job, never mind a career. Then again, if his wife is OK with that, who are we to say that’s wrong?
Agree with Montrealise–I’ve seen his jewelry site. Everything on there is budget, and the site looks like it hasn’t been updated in YEARS. But meh–she wanted him, she got him. Better than that thug whose defense (against him stealing millions of dollars) was that he was surrounded by all sorts of rich celebs, who made him want to make/take more money.

In the case of both those gentlemen, Producer is a vanity credit. Basically, its a title bestowed to assuage their male pride. That’s why people are making fun.
Well at least Cash can rely on his daddy. He’s none other than Michael Warren of Hill Street Blues fame.
I know our cultural assumption is that the man should always be as or more successful and ambitious than his wife, but that’s not always going to work for couples where the woman is extremely career-oriented and needs to travel a great deal for work. Some of the more stable Hollywood marriages are between famous men and non-famous women, and I think some female celebrities might find happier relationships if they imitated that example.
In any case, I don’t think Hathaway has never dated anyone very high profile. As long as she seems happy, I think we should assume that she’s fine with Shulman’s choices.
Well stated, lunchcoma
Dude, if I was hauling in the kind of money that Anne is, and my guy said he didn’t want to work in plumbing anymore, I’d be completely fine with, assuming he has something to fill some time with. As long as he’s not sitting home doing nothing, and he’s happy, I wouldn’t really care.
A woman at work has a stay at home husband who takes care of the kids and they live off a teachers salary. I think in today’s society it will be more common to see stay at home dads.
I know a couple men whose wives have the more high powered career and they’ve decided to stay home and take care of the kids. I think it’s refreshing, shakes up that stay at home mom dynamic a little bit.
But the guy has to be pretty secure to do it. My sister’s husband should be staying home with their kids, as they pay slightly more for childcare than he makes, but I can tell he thinks he would be stigmatized stay at home dad. I also think he has the personality that would get extremely bored/crazy being home all day with kids. Whatever works, the key is figuring it out sooner rather than later.
I had a stay at home-man. It was nice. Oh and he was 100% hipster and smoked weed from time to time. Very lovely man overall and of course I still have a soft spot for him and care about him, but it didn’t work out in the long run.Now we are separated however. I never liked Anne but now that I hear about her stay at home husband I kinda like her! I respect that choice.
edit. I just looked up the photos of him kissing her toes and that is adorable he’s obviously crazy about her and she loves him so good for them screw the haters I’m tean Anne Harthaway now never thought I’d say that!!!!! LOL!
I had an English teacher in 8th grade who told us about his niece and her husband. The niece was a lawyer, and I don’t know what the husband did–but they decided that the husband would stay home with the kids (I think they had toddlers), because the wife’s pay was better and she worked longer hours, and he said that it worked out really good.
You just need to put your egos aside. If a man is going to balk at doing housework full time, or even rearranging his schedule (something that a woman traditionally would have to do)–then that’s not a man I want.
Its not just about putting an ego aside. I am a stay at home mom and I have lots of friends who are the same, we go for coffee and to the gym, etc. together.
Now imagine you are the stay at home dad. Who are your peers? At our school there are a couple of dads who don’t work, but they have retired young.
This is why it is often better for the man to work too (even part time). So what if the vast majority of his pay goes to child care.
Sienna, just because there are far fewer stay at home dads than moms doesn’t mean all men shouldn’t stay home, how is that a solution? The SAHDs I know seem to keep themselves occupied and have male friends — a group of them play basketball at our local gym a couple times a week with older and younger guys who all have flexible schedules. And when a dad joins our group of moms, say at the pool in the summer with all our kids, it’s not weird, he’s just “one of the gals.” And the kids actually all hang on him more than the moms because he’s more fun and does silly stuff on the diving board. 🙂 Stay at home dads are cool!
Well there’s a difference between stay at home dads and the “sock designer” types…. I don’t think a man has to be more successful but surely they should be doing something? I feel the same way about women too, being a stay at home mom is fine by me but I side eye pure trophy wives.
I’d agree that people should be doing something useful with their time, but if Adam travels with Anne most of the time, that is going to limit his ability to have a lot of jobs. And, honestly, I can see that being together might be the higher priority. If I were in a couple where one of us made more than enough money to live in luxury and that person also traveled all the time, I’d want us to be on the same continent and in the same time zone more than I’d want both of us to have active careers. I think I’d feel that way even if I had to be the person to stay home (and I am not very temperamentally inclined toward housework).
I think in these couples where one partner is an actor and the other doesn’t seem to work much, the usual situation is what dizzylucy describes – that the spouse takes over some of the tasks that a personal assistant might otherwise do.
I hear you, especially when kids are not involved. My husband had a friend who got engaged and quit her job to plan the wedding. Then afterwards she never tried to go back to work, saying she needed to be home to decorate the apartment and watch the dogs. The marriage lasted about 5 years, lol.
I think Anne has to be the star in the relationship, the successful, powerful one. So I’d agree that she is ok w/Adam’s ‘career’.
“anyone very high profile” except for the Italian financier she lived with who went to jail.
Adam Shulman’s job is to follow her everywhere. Like Amy Adams’ fiancé… Not that it’s bad … Just saying …
Or Matt Damon’s wife, or Christian Bale’s wife, or Matthew McConaughey’s wife.
There are a lot of Hollywood couples with that arrangement. Not that what Brangelina or Penelope and Javier do is bad, either, but I suspect that the reason some celebrity relationships end up being so short-lived is that the couple spends so much time apart.
Considering that Amy and her fiance have a young kid, it makes sense for them more.
I kind of get the impression that some of these spouses almost act as a manager/assistant, where they takes care of the daily life stuff while their partner is on set all day, sort of functioning like a team. And if that works and everyone is happy with it, great.
Amy Adam’s fiancee is an artist–so he could do his job anywhere. Camilla Alves was/is a model–I’m sure that she has money saved up, and doesn’t NEED Mathew–like if they split up and he screwed her over, she wouldn’t be trying to hustle up a reality show for money. We don’t know what Christian or Matt’s wife does or did…..
But I think that as long as the superstar/celeb spouse will pay their spouse to follow them around–I’m good with it. If it was me, that’s what I would demand–so that if we ever broke up, or if that celeb’s star power started to wane i.e. they weren’t getting work, I could go out and get a job without looking like a shiftless layabout for five years.
Only thing I hate is trophy wife/husband. Who do nothing to contribute–and I’m not talking about money either.
Where did we ever see Camilla “model?” Her descriptor when she & MM started dating was “Handbag Designer” but I never saw any of those around either.
I figured it out. He is with her in various events; they presented one together. She is trying to help him, but I don’t think it’s working. Poor Anne.
My husband has a job he loves and excels at. But I’m not going to lie, when he was furloughed last year (we’re both Feds), our place never looked better! The place was clean as a whistle, laundry was done, so were minor home improvements we’ve been meaning to get to, dinner was ready, there was a glass of wine waiting for me when I got home from work and daycare, and he was ready to put out. I could def get used to him being at home. Haha! If only we didn’t need two salaries. So, I can’t shade any woman with a stay-at-home partner.
Sounds awesome, lol. It is hard and often tedious work, though. I work from home so I do all the housework and cooking and there are days when I think if I have to chop one more vegetable or unload the dishwasher one more time I am going to go postal. I think some men (and women, too, of course) are constitutionally/temperamentally incapable of handling that day in and day out.
I seriously salute you – staying at home is (to me) INFINITELY harder than working outside of the house. You’re on 24/7 and absolutely everything is on your shoulders. I could never do it. Being on maternity leave for 4 months was THE most difficult thing I’ve ever done.
Ag, thanks, it’s true that it’s hard and good for you for recognizing that it’s not your cup of tea. It makes you a better mom, I’m sure, when you’re getting what you need. I’m not unhappy by any means and I don’t think I could ever go back to working a full time, 9 to 5 schedule because I have come to value my flexibility and free time so much. It’s just those day to day chores that never end, like you said it’s 24/7, that wear a person down. I don’t drink but I think that’s why so many of the SAHMs I know take their wine drinking so seriously! “Mother’s little helper” indeed. 🙂
Same here! My husband’s job was cut to 1/2 time a while back, and he wasn’t happy about the situation but our home never ran so smoothly. Dogs were happy and very well exercised, house was always tidy, no issues with kid logistics and on and on. I can definitely see the advantage, if your spouse is happy with the situation. He’s now back to a full time gig and I have to say, I miss it!
What is going on with her clothes lately?
I read on another site that she has a new stylist.
Yes. She finally split with Rachel Zoe.
I think she has always had very questionable casual, day-to-day styling. Sometimes she looks ok if someone is styling her but I think left on her own, styling is not her thing.
It’s ok Anne, I used to be attracted to waif-y effeminate hipsters too. Then I left college and realized, like most women, that what I actually want is a MAN.
Eh, your fault for marrying him.
lol
White on a plane? Why not? Especially if you are going to California. I live here – it’s a different lifestyle.
He’s a jewelry designer, huh? (side-eye)…
He is. Look: http://jamesbanksdesign.com/page.html
Actually that IS real design. May not be 100% to my taste but it is nice enough and definetly qualifies as designing IMO. As oposed to “sockdesigning” for example… however that may be designing per se it takes no real knowledge or artistry. But those jewelry takes designing and an artistic mind and a rather good one to I’d say even if it’s notexactly to my taste.
AnnE should be frustrated being married to a gay man.
I think her husband is Jordan Bratman 2.0. That’s what I think. And think both women LIKE it.
The thing is, no one really knows about Bratman. We know his name, his ex wife and the name of his son and that is it. He was a constant presence and not really visible. Christina confirmed that he worked for a record company and that is it. He was never really comfortable in front of the camera like Adam is with Anna.
He couldn’t have been too involved in his own career if he was with her CONSTANTLY (which he was). That’s just not possible. Of course Christina said he was a producer. Just like George Clooney’s ex-bartender GF from France was “a law student” and “a kindergarten teacher” and then “a model”. Just like J-Lo’s BF is “a choreographer”. Famous Men and women alike give their SO’s job titles that don’t reflect reality. The reality is that many women enjoy having a man at their beck and call the same as a lot of men like having a trophy GF.
I don’t think people this pale should be wearing an all white ensemble in the first place. It is just not flattering. She blends in with her whole outfit and looks see through.
the outfit is cute but she should have worn ballet pumps instead!
I sniff an impending divorce not so far in the future. I think she only married him for the Oscars last year so she could cement herself as a stable woman and not the flaky actress who dated everyone. You know the old coots that run that panel love that stuff. Look at the Leo/MS talks for a good example. Get married Leo, you’ll get an Oscar.
My boyfriend loves doing domestic work when he comes over! He gets pissy when I try to cook or clean, lord knows I cant do it! I feel so inept in a supermarket, he laughs at me trying to weigh apples and oranges. Some men naturally enjoy doing these things and I think there will be a shift in housework dynamics in the next few years.
I hope women, starting now, insist that their SOs start picking up their slack. This is what is so frustrating about my dad–he doesn’t ever feel the need to pick up or clean ANYTHING in the house. We (the kids) are the lazy ones if we pass by a sink full of dishes, but he’s not.
A few weekends ago, my mom told my dad on Friday that we didn’t have any food for Saturday, and that he was going to have to cook on Sat. because she was going to be at work all day (she works and she goes to school)….on Saturday–no food in the house. I can’t drive, so I asked my dad like three times to go to the store, so we could get food and cook. He didn’t. I called mom and told her–she went to the store and bought food to cook. When she got home, my dad asked her how long was it going to take (because when my mom cooks, it takes at least two hours), and that we were hungry and had been all day.
Ugh–sometimes I really want to punch my dad. He doesn’t get it. I don’t know if that’s a guy thing, but he doesn’t understand why my mom’s always pissed off at him.
Cutest story. Ever.
i would love to see those pants/that print in like a.. skinny/structured jcrew style fit
I hate her taste in clothes, completely NERDY—-as I would have said in junior high in the 80’s. Who wears clothes like this?>?? Nobody I know in the midwest. UGLY!
It’s because every single thing about her is vanilla. The woman is bland, bland, bland. Clothes and makeup and couture gowns and styling and winning an Oscar doesn’t change it. This is who she is.
I miss her long hair. I loved her pale skin against her dark thick hair and big eyes. i am over her short hair.
