  • The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway  by Nate Jones
    The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway By Nate Jones Spend a few minutes reading blog comments, and you might assume that Anne Hathaway’s approval rating falls somewhere between that of Boko Haram and paper cuts — but you'd actually be completely wrong. According to E-Poll likability data we factored into Vulture's Most Valuable Stars list, the braying hordes of Hathaway haters are merely a very vocal minority. The numbers say that most people actually like her. Even more shocking? Who they like her more than. In calculating their E-Score Celebrity rankings, E-Poll asked people how much they like a particular celebrity on a six-point scale, which ranged from "like a lot" to "dislike a lot." The resulting Likability percentage is the number of respondents who indicated they either "like" Anne Hathaway or "like Anne Hathaway a lot." Hathaway's 2014 Likability percentage was 67 percent — up from 66 percent in 2013 — which doesn't quite make her Will Smith (85 percent), Sandra Bullock (83 percent), Jennifer Lawrence (76 percent), or even Liam Neeson (79 percent), but it does put her well above plenty of stars whose appeal has never been so furiously impugned on Twitter. Why? Well, why not? Anne Hathaway is a talented actress and seemingly a nice person. The objections to her boiled down to two main points: She tries too hard, and she's overexposed. But she's been absent from the screen since 2012'sLes Misérables, so it's hard to call her overexposed now. And trying too hard isn't the worst thing in the world, especially when you consider the alternative.

  • Jennifer Aniston, Jimmy Kimmel Face Fire Scare on Stage at 2020 Emmy Awards
    Jennifer Aniston, Jimmy Kimmel face fire scare on stage at 2020 Emmy Awards foxnews.com/entertainment/jennifer-aniston-jimmy-kimmel-fire-scare-2020-emmy-awards The stage was on fire at the 2020 Emmy Awards on Sunday night. The show kicked off with a handful of jokes about coronavirus and the subsequent quarantine by host Jimmy Kimmel before he was joined on stage by Jennifer Aniston to present the award for best lead actress. The bit began with Kimmel, 52, donning rubber gloves to douse the envelope containing the winner's name in a disinfectant spray. To further the joke, they placed the envelope in a wastebasket and lit it on fire. The "Friends" alum, 51, was handed a fire extinguisher and blasted the firey bin. The first blast didn't take, however, as the fire rose up again before Kimmel could retrieve the envelope, so she jumped to action again. The star sprayed the envelope a third time as the comedian was using tongs to pull the slip from the bin. Once the envelope was safely removed from the bin, the pair turned their attention back to the bit, but once again, flames rose from the wastebasket. Quick on her feet, Aniston put out the fire once and for all. Jennifer Aniston puts out a fire in a wastebasket with Jimmy Kimmel at the 2020 Emmy Awards. (ABC/Image Group LA via Getty) Kimmel Tweeted after the ordeal. "THANK GOD FOR JENNIFER ANISTON!" he said, sharing a photo of the star in action. The bit came after Kimmel explained that each of the nominees will be at remote locations, such as their homes, and the winners would receive their awards in real-time.

  • Jennifer Aniston Suffers Possible Relapse Tuesday, 19 July 2005
    Jennifer Aniston suffers possible relapse Tuesday, 19 July 2005 7/15/05 Chicago, IL ? Jennifer Aniston collapsed on the set of her new film, The Break Up, a few weeks ago. She complained of lethargy, vertigo, nausea, and extreme sweating. The symptoms exhibit heat exhaustion, but are also the same symptoms of mycotoxicosis. Most physicians are unable to tell the difference. Could this be the residual effects of fungal exposure she experienced from her former residence with ex Brad Pit? It has left many people wondering but only her closest confidants know for sure. In May of 2001, the couple spent $13.5 million to buy themselves their Beverly Hills mansion located at 1026 Ridgedale Drive, is a 12,000 square-foot, six-bedroom French Normandy that was built for Fredric March, the Oscar-winning actor who starred in Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde in 1931 and The Best Years Of Our Lives in 1946. The house was designed by architect Wallace Neff. Pitt and Aniston, in 2000, spent 9 months looking for the perfect home. Their former love nest was a roaming French Normandy design with a rotunda foyer, a screening room, spa, wine cellar and a tennis court. It might have been devastating to discover mold in this house. It was one of the truly wonderful houses around. For years it was the home of the Vanderbilt heir Shirley Burden and his wife, Flobelle. Their son, the late New York social figure Carter Burden, grew up in the house. Then Wallis Annenberg, the daughter of Walter Annenberg, the billionaire publisher and former ambassador to the Court of St.

  • Paris, New York, and Post-National Romance
    Sex and the Series: Paris, New York, and Post-National Romance Dana Heller / love Paris every moment, Every moment of the year I love Paris, why oh why do I love Paris? Because my love is here. —Cole Porter, / Love Paris This essay will examine and contrast two recent popular situation comedies, NBC's Friends and HBO's Sex and the City, as narratives that participate in the long-standing utilization of Paris as trope, or as an instrumental figure within the perennially deformed and reformed landscape of the American national imaginary. My argument is that Paris re-emerges in post-9/11 popular culture as a complex, multi-accentual figure within the imagined mise-en-scene of the world Americans desire. The reasons for this are to a large degree historical: in literature, cinema, television, popular music, and other forms of U.S. cultural production, from the late nineteenth century through the twentieth century and into the twenty first, Paris has remained that city where one ventures, literally and/or imaginatively, to dismember history, or to perform a disarticulation of the national subject that suggests possibilities for the interrogation of national myths and for 0026-3079/2005/4602-145$2.50/0 American Studies, 46:1 (Summer 2005): 145-169 145 146 Dana Heller the articulation of possible new forms of national unity and allegiance. These forms frequently find expression in the romantic transformation of a national citizen-subject into a citizen-subject of the world, a critique of the imperialist aspirations of the nation-state that antithetically masks those same aspirations under the sign of the disillusioned American cosmopolitan abroad.
