This isn't the first time Anne has promoted her bad girl side, but she's definitely taken it to a higher level in the August issue of Marie Claire. We really enjoy her as the sweet and innocent good girl we saw in The Devil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries, however, Anne makes it pretty clear that she doesn't love her good girl reputation. Here's more from the article:
On not being a prude:
“I love [the band] Peaches. When people are all like, ‘Do you think you have a squeaky-clean image?’ I’m like, ‘Could a squeaky-clean girl know all the lyrics to ‘Teaches of Peaches’? I mean, my favorite song is called ‘F—k the Pain Away.’”On bursting into tears during Brokeback Mountain:
“Didn’t stop for an hour. And Kirsten Dunst, who was going out with Jake, was like two rows behind me, and [Jake’s sister] Maggie Gyllenhaal was right behind me, and we were all crying so hard; my boyfriend offered Maggie his hankerchief, and she was sharing it with Kirsten. And I’m thinking, That’s my boyfriend’s – can I have my Kleenex that you b-tches are using?”
Sure, being a bad girl is fun but it sounds like she's trying way too hard to prove something - and we really like her as a nice girl. Besides, with all the bad girls in Hollywood already, we're tired of that type.

She's trying way too hard. She's cute, she's talented, she's not a bad ass.
Liking a song with "F**k" in the lyrics does not make you tough.
1i agree pop, it seems she's trying way too hard to shed the her clean image. this is how i interpreted what she said: "look guys i curse when i speak. i'm soooo badass. right? right?" she says as she looks for approval.
love you anne, but i just wish you would embrace and appreciate your classic image. plus if you want people to think your badass, actions speak louder than words hun.
2Omg just because you know the lyrics to Peaches does not make you a badass. Peaches is just fun because its so obviously dirty
That is such crap. I never liked Anne Hathaway but that comment alone really lowered in my book.
I have the entire Peaches album "Teaches of Peaches" and certainly do not think that makes me a bad girl like Anne Puh-leaze!!!!!!!!
BTW f*ck the Pain away is not even that dirty of a song when compared to the rest of Peaches stuff. Probably the "worst" line is "sucking on my ti**ies like you wanted me"
3Ummm...yeah, sure Anne. I'd like to see you tell that to Kirsten and Maggie's FACE! It's easy to talk BEHIND someone's back, but another to say it to their face. I hope somebody snaps you back into reality, "MS. BAAADD GIRL."
4I don't get it either...why try sooo hard to be a "bad" girl? I like her the way she is...love her purse!
5Maybe she's afraid of being typecast, I mena if I was in hollywood and I was bad*ss mothaf**ka yet people saw me as angel i would be like yeah suckers.
6Eww..that's just annoying.
7yeah...i like her, but she's trying too hard. i think most people like her B/C she's not a b!tch.
8The last comment makes me laugh, I'd like to have seen her go up to those girls and curse them out to their faces. But more importanly how fab is her purse? I want.
9hm, i actually thought her comments were funny. i think she was more trying to make the point that she's human, and if i was in her position with the whole brokeback things i'd be thinking the same thing. i think that's all she's trying to say.
i also read a bit of sarcasm and exasperation in that first quote. i don't think anyone should take her so seriously...
10F*ck the Pain Away, like someone said, is not the worst of Peaches. It's pretty tame, when you compare it to her other songs.
I agree she's trying too hard, but love it that she listens to Peaches. Peaches rocks.
11go girl
12did anyone see havoc? did the girl do that movie to prove she can be "badass" then? haha. after that movie i honestly don't think she's prude.
13ummm i just want to say to the lovely anne
ITS A F*CKEN KLEENEX BIZATCH get over it!!!
ok i feel better now
14i think b*tches was not meant in the literal sense of the word but as a sarcasatric expression. Hey I listen to Marilyn Mandson does that make me a bad girl
15I'm tired of that type too pop.
16she is trying too hard to be bad. her outfit is cute though.
17she definitely doesn't need to try so hard- but, I can't get over how cute she looks in just basically b&w. So sleek and polished-love the look.
18oh that interview was adorable! she sounds fun.
19Anne, Anne, Anne... Stop. Trying. Too. Hard!!!
20I don't think she's trying too hard or that she's trying to be a bad girl. If anything, this reaffirms the fact that she is a good girl. She thinks it's bad to like that song?
She's not squeaky clean. No one said she was. She's dating some possibly criminal and I've seen her naked, so obviously, she's no angel.
21I think she is just up set at how people make her out to be a "good girl" and she doesn't want to be labeled. I like her and she might have been irritated or joking when she said those comments, who cares either way, anyway?
22There are tons of people out there who listen to songs with obscene lyrical content who think they're naughty for listening to it.
oh and pop cut off the last sentence to that second quote which makes a big difference in how you read it...she LAUGHING people while telling this story. so obviously not that offended.
23what an idiot
24Myop!!! You're back!
25I love Peaches! hahah
26just read the article she is "laughing" so it wasnt intended to be serious...
27there goes my drama for the day
oh wait no
i'm still at work lol silly me
thanks for the update italygal.
i think it's tough to be continually labeled as a good girl (and therefore sometimes associated with not being fun or being restricted). i can understand why she might be frustrated.
28i still think she's great! i love her style.
I would have said "I didn't want your F-in Kleenex anyway!"
29lameo.
30nyara - you are a bad bad girl lol..
yea, Anne don't try to hard..we like the nice clean classic girl you are..i mean i'm sure you're not 100% angel..but you are much better than say Brit, LiLo, Paris..shall I go on?
31Who cares if she is trying to shed her good girl image... Let her just be herself damnit. Everyone has a little bad in them or a whole lotta... Don't stifle her it might cause her to rebel then turn out like Britney Spears :-x -- WITH ALL THAT PRESSURE -- everyone EXPECTS her to be this and that -- it'll drive anyone crazy and over the edge.
Let's not expect everyone to be picture perfect.
32Yay Peaches!
33I understand not wanting to be thought of as a good girl, but you don't have to try to be a bad girl instead. Every girl has some evil in her anyway.
what? shut up anne, you sound as dumb as LL talking about The Prince
34At least I liked the Princess Diaries.
35What's wrong with a clean image and being a good girl anyway?
36I think she is going about trying to prove she doesn't have the good girl image the wrong way. Nothing wrong with like the Peaches songs (I like them too), but the issues over the Kleenex, WTF? Who cares????
37A-nnoying! She is trying way to hard to get some kinda recognition.....boring!
38i love what she's wearin'! does anyone know the designer of the bag?
39Why Does everyone want to be bad…..whats wrong with the clean image…I really don’t like her anymore…and her doing nude scenes in a direct-to-video movie already said enough about how hard she is trying to shed her good girl image…which I can’t understand why??!!!
40It does sound like she was trying to hard but she was probably being sarcastic! Either way I still love her and the Princess Diaries, haha!
41I think she just doesn't want to be typecasted. I love her purse!
42divinedebris- I agree with you. It's the whole labeling thing she probably can't stand. She doesn't exactly sound like a bad girl but this reaffirms why I liked her in the first place- funny girl who doesn't seem to take herself too seriously. Wish I had that whole article....
43too bad she is such a bore! zzz
44Those comments just made her seem even more lame. Don't try to be something you're not Anne!
45Yawn Anne, I love Peaches too. F*ck the Pain Away was badass about three years ago. Catch up girl! But you look great in the picture.
46Woah, I love F--k the pain away too !
47Also, why were they all crying ?
48i like her, but she's trying way to hard, be proud of who you are anne.
49I don't know why but there is something about this girl that just irks me. Everything about her annoys me.
