Anne Hathaway Doesn't Want Con Man Ex's Jewelry

She may have starred in "The Devil Wears Prada," but Anne Hathaway is hardly a material girl. In fact, the actress is kissing goodbye a treasure trove of pricey jewels given to her by her con-man ex.

Hathaway handed over about a dozen pieces of bling in August 2008, just after her Italian-born former flame, Raffaello Follieri, was accused of cheating investors out of $13 million by claiming he had connections to the Vatican, the New York Post reports. Follieri was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison that October.

According to court papers obtained by the Post, the "Bride Wars" star had until February to file a petition claiming ownership of the luxe pieces, which include two Rolex watches, a pair of silver-colored earrings with "blue and clear stones," a silver-colored chain with a cross pendant, two gold-colored rings, a five-strand pearl necklace, and a Louis Vuitton box.

Hathaway, however, can't be bothered with the baubles. Prosecutors say that neither she nor her "third parties" have staked a claim, the Post reports, so they are seeking a final forfeiture order to take official ownership of the goodies.


The brunette beauty has until May 26 to file an objection
and petition to reclaim the jewelry, otherwise -- grab your paddles! -- it will be auctioned off to repay Follieri's victims.

Meanwhile, Hathaway's new love, actor Adam Shulman, has also found himself in hot water. He was accused of theft after removing a mural from a Manhattan construction site on Saturday.

Shulman apparently thought it was free for the taking, said H&H Builders president Ken Hart, but returned the artwork after realizing his mistake, E! Online reports.

When it comes to guys, seems like Hathaway has found herself a few gems!

I can understand why she wouldn't want to keep the jewelry, but I read the story and see the amount of time he received for frauding people out of $13 million supposedly. Four and 1/2 yrs. That is such crap. I know someone personally who just reported and got a much heavier sentence for far less supposed fraud. Our system is so F%*!@! up! Good honest hard working people are being taken away from their families for political gain and just because they can. So sad.............

I don';t think they are delusional. This is what they meet in the world.She just happened on a couple of theives. When one meets an attractive person and you start to build a friendship,you have to dig deeply to find the "bad"in the person.The addage "Familiarity breeds contempt" applies here. THere are a lot more scumbags out there that nice people.

If something given to me were meaningless or only stirred up bad memories, I wouldn't want to keep it around, either. But this is different. I would have kept it. I'm sorry, but it's not about greed. It's about common sense. Should I keep these lovely trinkets... or should the feds keep them locked away in an evidence vault for eternity?

If those lovely 5-carat, perfect in every way, pink diamond earrings are going to sit around getting dusty in a locked room for ever and ever, (Yes, this is what happens to them when you can't keep them, but they cannot be returned to their rightful owner.) I might as well wear 'em.

Aww, come on. She rode around on his yachts, dripped in his jewelry, and loved his high-tone lifestyle .. and, at best, didn't ask any questions .. until all came to light, and then she dropped him faster than a speeding rocket. Now she's got another one .. !! Dear Anne .. you might want to adjust what it is you look for in a guy if you want to stop getting the same one. All that glitters isn't gold ..

It seems to me these items have more value while they are still owned by a celebrity. I think she should take these items to Sotheby's and auction them for the highest price possible and give that money to the victims. I respect that she is not trying to keep them for herself.

To AngieBaby....did you read the whole story? The jewels are to be autioned off to repay his victims which is the right thing to do....... On another note, I guess the nice actresses can't seem to find a normal man out there because that is the problem-- they are too nice and cant see through their lies..... ( thinking of Sandra Bullock also...)
