Oh, Anne, you could do so much better.

Anne Hathaway’s boyfriend of the past four years, Italian property developer Raffaelo Follieri, was caught trying to pass a bad check for $250,000 to a public relations firm.

Last year, he supposedly squandered $1.3 million in business funds on cars, clothes, and other luxe goods.

Anne has gushed about how Raffaelo had helped her out of a rut. “Before I met him, I wasted so much time. I was just annoying and narcissistic and smelled bad. He’s protective without being possessive, passionate without needing to show his temper.”

Oh, come on, Anne. Get a real man.

Anne Hathaway is one of those young stars who have managed to evade the teen star curse (hear that Britney and Lindsay?) and have kept a fairly respectable reputation.

The lovely Hathaway is finally reaping the harvest for being a good girl by becoming the new Lancome lady. The cosmetics company announced that Anne (who evokes the same level of class as the late, great Audrey Hepburn) will be the “brand ambassador” for the company’s new fragrance, which will be unveiled September 2008.

If the fragrance smells as good as Anne is beautiful then Lancome has a hit on its hands.
