But now, with most of her diaries, nude photos and other personal effects safely in federal custody, what matters most is who's minding the store in Washington. Which means exactly the mile-high rebound it sounds like — coming around on Obama and signing on for the long election slog ahead. And feeling good doing it, if her new, unapologetic take on celebrity politics is any indication:

[Hathaway] said she isn't against the idea of celebrities being politically active.

She said there is a perception that "we're all out of touch. How could we possibly have an awareness of what real Americans feel and think and need because we just ride around in limos and - I don't know - buy diamonds all day long?

"But I don't know anyone like that," Hathaway went on. "I'm certainly not like that. I'm a passionate American, and that's what I am first and foremost."

We think Anne might actually know someone like that, but whatever — he's Italian. We all know how that goes.

In additional to the naked photos he took of Anne, 25, he also prized a sizzling photo of her in black fishnet stockings, a garter belt and bustier that totally exposed her top. Follieri, 30, supposedly paid a very famous photographer to take that steamy shot.

The Enquirer learned that just recently, Anne’s brother Michael tried to gain access to a hidden storage room in the Bronx where Follieri had stored some of his and Anne’s belongings after he moved out of his apartment.

That didn't go very well, we hear, with the FBI having beaten the exasperated brother to the punch by a day after he reportedly couldn't find "the Bronx." But a "famous photographer"? Does Annie Leibovitz actually do Vatican commissions these days?

April is apparently the cruelest month for Follieri, who was under investigation one year ago for attempting to thwart part of a $55 million investment from real estate magnate and Hollywood hanger-on Ron Burkle. Burkle sued Anne's boy for claiming the entire amount would go towards developing land for the Catholic Church, and reportedly using $1.3 million to spoil the couple's dog and take Hathaway on private jet trips. Though the couple has been together for years, Anne has a rock solid reputation of avoiding salacious tabloid stories and a career coming up roses. Her upcoming part opposite Steve Carell in Get Smart will ideally move her from chick flick dynamo to comedy star the way Katherine Heigl managed to ride her killer smile in Knocked Up into A-list territory. We can only hope Follieri's second trip on the criminal tabloid train will finally convince Anne to wash that man right out of her flawless hair.
