Anne Hathaway Compares Herself To Lindsay Lohan

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

In a recent interview, Anne Hathaway tells the world that she “is not a saint” while reflecting on past experiences of  self-destructive behavior.

The star even compared her past actions to those of troubled actress, Lindsay Lohan.  Lohan has become increasingly popular for her alleged heavy drug use and party-going lifestyle – activities that have managed to overshadow her once successful acting career.

“I never sit in judgment.  Lindsay Lohan and I have more in common than people think,” Hathaway tells The Sun.  “We’ve all done things we shouldn’t.  It is just that I did stuff at college when nobody knew about it.  I’m not a saint.  I wasted time doing self-destructive things.  I found out you can only dance on so many table tops.”

Hathaway revealed that although she was wild in college, by the time she began appearing in the spotlight, she had already gotten past that stage in her life.

“I got all that out of my system,” says Hathaway.  “And I am healthy and grounded.”

Oddly enough, during an interview today, Lohan claimed that she was done with her partying ways.  The Mean Girls actress told Matt Lauer, “I went out, actually, a few months ago with a friend.  And I was so uncomfortable.  Not because I felt tempted, just because it was just the same thing that it always was before.  It just wasn’t fun for me,” Lohan said. “I’ve become more of a homebody.  And I like that.”

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
