Anne Hathaway Fiancé Targeted by Cuomo

060908hathawaybf.jpgMore trouble for Raffaello Follieri, the fiancé of “Devil Wears Prada” star Anne Hathaway; Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is investigating the Follieri Foundation, a charity headed by the 29-year-old Italian businessman. The Post has it that Cuomo’s office has subpoenaed financial documents belonging to the Manhattan-based foundation, which is involved with vaccinating children in developing countries, among other things.

Follieri last made headlines when he was arrested for bouncing a $215,000 company check issued on behalf of his real estate company. Those charges were dropped when he paid up last month, and earlier this year he also settled a lawsuit brought by billionaire Ron Burkle, who accused Follieri of "systematically misappropriating" at least $1.3 million from a joint business venture to finance his lavish lifestyle.

Hathaway’s spokesman tells the Post that the actress no longer serves on the foundation’s board, though she had traveled to Central America with Follieri last year for a charity-funded vaccination program. Cuomo’s office declined to elaborate on the investigation, but apparently it has something to do with the foundation’s failure to file tax-disclosure forms required of nonprofit groups. Starting June 20th, Hathaway can be seen starring opposite Steve Carell in Get Smart; she talks about the role here.

    It's like Darrell Hammond from SNL and Zach Braff combined.

    There's something creepy about a 29 year old guy who's into "vaccinating children". Hathaway should dump this jerk for a mega-building developer crony of the Mayor.

    Sure is easier going after this guy than all the mega-

    Building developer cronies destroying NYC and their

    association with our previous Mayor's Koch,Giuliani

    and Bloomy. That is complicated to investigate.
