UPDATE: During a hearing Tuesday afternoon, a federal judge ordered that Raffaello Follieri be held on $21 million bail on charges of bilking investors out of between $2.5 million and $6 million by pretending to be a real estate point man for the Vatican.

"In short, your honor, he is a con man," U.S. Attorney Reed Michael Brodsky said in court. "He was able to con a lot of people out of a lot of money over a long period of time."

Until he posts bail, at least $16 million of which must come from his own liquid assets, Raffaello is confined to his New York home.

"This is one the stiffest bail packages I have ever seen," his attorney, Flora Edwards, told reporters outside the courthouse. "We are going to do everything we can to meet it."

Meanwhile, a rep for Follieri told the New York Daily News that he is planning to "vigorously" defend himself against the charges.

A status hearing has been set for July 9.

Anne Hathaway is not only getting smart, she's apparently wising up.

E! News has confirmed that the actress has split from her scandal-prone boyfriend of the past four years, Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri. Rumors of the split have run rampant since Hathaway's solo turn on the red carpet at Monday's Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, Get Smart.

"There's been a breakup, God willing it's forever," a source close to the Hathaway family told E! News, adding that the actress' father, lawyer Gerald, has not exactly been a cheerleader for the relationship.

Anne Hathaway's Hellish Hue

Thu., Jun. 5, 2008 10:17 AM PDT by Peter Gicas

She may have worked for that Prada-wearing devil, but did Anne Hathaway get too close to the flames?!

The actress appeared just a wee bit overcooked in New York on Wednesday while shooting a scene for her new film Bride Wars.

Fortunately, the look was nothing more than the result of a little makeup magic to reflect her character's trouble with fake tanning.

Phew. For a minute there, we thought this was some desperate attempt to get a gig working for Willy Wonka.

Anne Hathaway's Very Hot Pants

Tue., Jun. 3, 2008 9:30 AM PDT by Mayrav Saar

Get Smart star Anne Hathaway tells Ben Lyons of E!’s Daily 10 that she accidentally set a pair of L.A.M.B. shorts down near a candle recently "and they actually caught on fire. So even when you're trying to be a rock star...your inner geek comes out. My inner geek is overpowering."

We usually don’t believe beautiful women who claim to be dorky. But it’s hard to call Anne a liar after she set her pants on fire.

Smart Girl Anne Hathaway Dodges Kate's Shooters

Good thing Anne Hathaway cut her teeth thwarting bad guys in the upcoming Get Smart—she needs all the help she can get evading paparazzi on the set of her new flick with Kate Hudson.

Bride Wars, the girlie nuptial-fest she and Lance Armstrong's main squeeze are shooting in NYC, has been a mess of photogs, all angling for a shot at Kate's ring finger. Hathaway manages to catch some of the lenses in cross fire, she told E! News at a Los Angeles press conference for Get Smart, and she's just not used to it.

"There were, I kid you not, 50 paparazzi on the street," she said. "We had to call off the shot and find a different location, because they were in the way."

But it doesn't end there...

Get Smart Secrets Revealed

Things nearly got bloody as Anne Hathaway tussled with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on the set of the upcoming Get Smart movie.

The two were shooting a fight scene when Hathaway accidentally kicked Johnson in the head with the heel of her shoe, according to the film's director, Peter Segal.

"The stunt coordinator was saying, 'Her foot will come within six inches of your face, but from this angle it will look like it connects,' ” Segal told me earlier today. “Dwayne started to say, ‘This looks closer than six inches. Are you sure she’s going to be able to pull her kick in time so she doesn’t hit me?’ The stunt coordinator said, ‘Oh, yeah; everything’s fine.' "

Luckily, Johnson wasn't hurt. “Anne was mortified and so apologetic, but he milked it,” Segal said. “He painted little bruises on his forehead and came up to her later and pretended that he was wounded.”

Hathaway also connected with costar Steve Carell. But in a much different sort of way.

"Anne is such a sick, crazy Office fan,” Segal said. “I swear to God, she knows every line from every episode. She insisted on auditioning even though we said, ‘No, it’s not really necessary.’ But then at the moment she sat down next to Steve, he started ad-libbing a little bit and then she started ad-libbing to catch up with him, and before long, I found myself feverishly writing notes of what they were saying. Later on after we hired her and we were shooting the movie, we shot a lot of those ad-libs.” (Segal promises the audition tape will be part of the eventual DVD release.)

Now about Maxwell Smart’s famous shoe phone. “At the time, the shoe phone was the coolest thing in the world,” Segal says of the original 1960s television series created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. “We didn’t have cordless phones, let alone cell phones. So now the thought of somebody actually putting a shoe to their face is kind of disgusting. But we did talk to Apple about possibly making a screen saver for iPhones. It would look like the bottom of a shoe.”
