Anne Hathaway's Hollywood celebrity best friend is revealed... and it's NOT a female
This time the Oscar-winning actress is discussing playing a pop star in the vein of Taylor Swift in her new movie Mother Mary, which was unchartered territory for the Hollywood veteran.
The brunette shared with the fashion bible that she was not good at singing at first, but she pushed herself.
'I had to submit to being a beginner,' shared the 42-year-old New York native.
'The humility of that—showing up every day knowing you're going to suck. And it has to be okay. You're not 'bad.' You're just a beginner.
'Getting to that mindset—I had to shed some things that were hard to shed. It was welcome. But it was hard, the way transformational experiences can be hard.'
Also in the interview, it is revealed who her celebrity best friend is, and it's not a woman.
What made it extra challenging was that she did not have all the music finalized before she went in front of the camera.
'It was so confusing. I had to learn…. Because if I'd had the music a year before we ever turned a camera on, I would have tattooed every note of it on my soul, and there would have been a whole process, very specific.
'And that was not available to me. In the end. I am very grateful I could not take control.'
The star worked with hit-making music producer Jack Antonoff as well as pop icon Charli XCX.
'I finally learned how to breathe,' said Hathaway. 'My body was so locked up—I literally couldn't take a deep breath.
'I'd been trying to open that space for years and I thought it was physically impossible. All my breath, it was stuck.'
Hathaway also spent two years trying to learn how to dance for the role.
As far as her celebrity best friend, it's Bradley Cooper. They became pals in NYC in 2019.
The Oscar-winner talked to Vogue about what makes Anne special.
'You see how she treats everyone—and it's everyone—she's so kind,' said Cooper. 'We started hanging out as parents, having dance parties with children in my kitchen, and I fell in love with both of them.' Them is Anne and her husband Adam Shulman.
Bradley said their union is 'an emblem for that kind of commitment,' in that they 'enrich' each other.
The actor then tells the writer: 'You've met Anne: She's very present and grounded, I'll put it that way. And kind. She's viciously intelligent.'
When not working, Anne is a regular person she insists, as she loves to stay home with her family.
She loves 'hanging out' with her kids - she has sons Jonathan, nine, and Jack, five, with her husband.
'I'd been trying to open that space for years and I thought it was physically impossible. All my breath, it was stuck.' Hathaway also spent two years trying to learn how to dance for the role
'Uno games, baking when there's time, teaching the kids to dribble a basketball in the apartment without upsetting the neighbors….' she said.
'I am so, so grateful [her] husband is a great cook and an early riser,' she told writer Maya Singer.
Anne looked glamorous in a photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz with help from Fashion Editor: Tabitha Simmons, hair by Orlando Pita and makeup by Gucci Westman.
Vogue's August 2025 issue is available on newsstands nationwide on July 15.

Would you let the stars dictate where you live?
Despite living in an age in which GPS tracks our every move and most of us have a map available at the touch of a screen, a growing number of people are turning to a different guide for directions: the cosmos. Astrocartography, a practice combining geography and astrology, claims to map the world for a person based on the moment they were born, offering guidance on where to go on holiday and even where to live. Developed in its modern form by the American astrologer Jim Lewis in the 1970s, at the root of the concept, which is sometimes called locational astrology, is the theory that by relocating to or spending time in areas that match with favourable planetary lines, we could tap into positive energies. • The Indian mothers paying for C-sections under 'lucky' stars 'Essentially it's a map based on the moment you took your first breath, which shows you your most powerful locations in the world,' says Helena Woods, a former actress from New York who is now an astrology influencer living in Australia. She charges $550 for an initial one-hour astrocartography reading. The idea of celestial influence on Earthly locales isn't new. Ancient civilisations, including the Babylonians and Egyptians, relied on observing the stars to make decisions about agriculture, architecture and governance. In recent years astrocartography has experienced a resurgence, particularly on social media, carving out a niche for itself within the reportedly $2.2 billion global industry that is astrology. On platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, astrologers including Hagan Fox (280K followers on Instagram) and Chani Nicholas (630K followers on Instagram) share practical tips. The latter, who counts the singer Lizzo among her fans, also ties locational astrology to broader themes of identity and social justice. Meanwhile the podcast host and astrologist Chris Brennan invites specialists to unpack the practice in depth on The Astrology Podcast (240K subscribers on YouTube). • Read more luxury reviews, advice and insights from our experts The rise of remote work and digital nomadism has fuelled interest as people explore where in the world they may feel happiest. 'I've helped people completely uproot their lives and start over in far-off locations,' Woods says. 'We've all been to cities or towns that feel right [and] others that don't; Astrocartography helps explain these place-based attractions,' says Clarisse Monahan, a Goldman Sachs analyst turned professional astrologer based near Dublin, who charges €220 for an hour of astrocartography. 'It matches us to our hot spots on Earth. Deciding where to live for work or raising a family is probably one of the biggest decisions you make in life.' On a less life-changing note, some people turn to astrocartography to decide the best place and time to take a holiday. 'For example, they might want to go to Paris on their Venus line in order to find some romance,' Monahan, who is also Soho House's resident astrologer, says. • Tick, tick, hiss — watches for the year of the snake Woods and Monahan offer single or multiple astrocartography sessions for clients depending on the questions they have, and Woods offers masterclasses and workshops. Both have also written or are writing books on the subject. As for the next frontier in the astrology world? How about astroherbalism, which combines astrology and plant medicine to map planets and signs on to herbs for emotional healing? Back to the future indeed.

Sami Sheen flaunts bikini body after revealing breast implant illness amid mom Denise Richards' divorce drama
Sami Sheen took to Instagram with a new bikini post on Tuesday, after recently revealing she has been suffering from breast implant illness. The 21-year-old daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen posted a snap of herself in a yellow bikini with a white lace trim to her Instagram Stories. The OnlyFans star — whose actress mom Denise is currently in the midst of a divorce from estranged husband Aaron Phypers — showed off her toned midriff and belly button piercing in the selfie, which was taken from neck down. She paired the look with a white skirt, with her bikini bottoms peeking out from underneath. The post comes weeks after Sami revealed she plans to have her breast implants removed less than two years after she got them. Sami — who recently blasted her Christian sister Lola Sheen, 20, as 'homophobic and transphobic' — shared she's been 'experiencing health issues' and 'the weirdest symptoms' for nearly two years. Sami also shared she was feeling 'kind of devastated' about having to undergo the surgery, and worried how it would affect her OnlyFans career in an interview with Us Weekly. 'I've always been such a confident woman, but there's just something so different about finally getting the surgery you've always wanted and they've made me feel so womanly and feminine,' she said. 'I finally can fit into certain shirts now and just like little things where I just feel like an extra boost of confidence.' 'I definitely am gonna get a lot of photos of my boobs before I have to say bye to them forever. And I'm gonna stock up on my content and then, after that, once I'm all healed, I don't know. We'll see.' After getting reassurance from some of her subscribers, she said that it's 'nice to hear that I'm still gonna have subscribers even though most of them are probably there for the look I have now.' In her original Instagram post announcing her health woes, Sami said that she 'finally discovered that I have breast implant illness,' adding, 'idk how I [hadn't] figured this out sooner but I'm so happy to finally have an answer.' She told her 202,000 followers, 'I'm hoping to get them removed asap so I can start feeling better.' And she asked, 'Pls lmk if you know of any good explant surgeons near LA.' Looking back at a picture of her pre-cosmetic surgery figure, Sami said, 'It's definitely gonna be hard going back to this size. not only physically, but mentally.' She lamented, 'I don't want to at all but i know i'll feel so much better once they are out. so i guess it's worth it.' She told fans, 'i posted about this on my tiktok but figured i would talk about it on here in case anyone else is experiencing the same thing. this is your sign to always put your health first!!!' The reality television star also noted that her sickness has affected her hair, writing in parentheses, 'also i can't believe this is all my real hair, another thing that these implants took from me.' Someone asked Sheen what her symptoms are, which she detailed in a long list. Chronic fatigue, headaches, acne, memory loss, brain fog, vertigo, joint pain, dry eyes, and mood swings were just some of the uncomfortable effects. Also listed were hair loss, allergies, skin rashes, severe anxiety, and sensitivity to temperature. Sami shared, 'BII often mimics certain autoimmune diseases, but I'm certain it's my implants because these symptoms started almost immediately after getting them done.' The influencer said she experiences 'nearly all of these symptoms every single day' and that 'it's exhausting.' As recently as April, Sami said on TikTok that she planned to get another, larger boob job. She said at the time, 'They're finally fully dropped and settled in. I feel like I could've gone bigger and I really wish I went bigger. When the time comes to get them redone I'm definitely going bigger.' The star initially went under the knife in 2023 at age 19. 'I think I'm gonna go over the muscle so they look a little bit more natural,' the nepo baby shared at the time. On an episode of Bravo's Wild Things, in which she stars alongside mom Denise and sister Lola, Sami admitted childhood bullying led her to join OnlyFans so that she could fund her plastic surgery. She documented her rhinoplasty with celebrity surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar on the show, which premiered March 4. 'High school was very hard. I had to deal with kids bullying me. People would say that I looked like my dad,' she said of her famous father. And Sami is no stranger to plastic surgery, detailing her many procedures during an appearance on Gia Guidice's Casual Chaos podcast. 'I started with lip filler when I was 18. Obviously, I went to the wrong person, had to get it dissolved, start over,' Sami continued. 'Before I got my nose done, I discovered nose filler. They would fill the tip and try and make it look cuter. But the guy literally told me, "You're going to need a rhinoplasty to get the look that you want."' It comes after Sami doled out tips for dealing with a toxic partner just one day before stepdad Aaron Phypers filed for divorce from her mom Denise. Engaging her 189,000 TikTok followers, the 21-year-old influencer advised, 'If you're dating someone toxic, but you don't really know if they're toxic... You need to ask yourself: if you had a daughter and she was dating a man like this, what would you tell her?' She added, 'And then, boom. You're like, "OK, I would tell her to breakup with him, block him, move on, like he's a piece of s***, treats her like s***." I don't know, that works for me because sometimes it's so easy for me to overlook everything. But if I'm imagining having a kid and she's getting treated like this, absolutely the f*** not.' Phypers, 52, filed for divorce on Monday, July 7 after six years of marriage. He listed the date of separation from the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills veteran as July 4. The actor cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the breakup. Aaron is seeking spousal support from Denise to help cover his hefty $105,000 a month expenses. The estranged couple appear together on the reality TV series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, along with Sami, Lola, and Denise's adopted daughter Eloise, 13. The last time she posted an image with her husband was in April, and their most recent red carpet appearance was in May. Phypers and Richards began dating in 2017, got engaged in January 2018, and tied the knot that September. Their Malibu wedding ceremony was filmed for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The actress was previously married to Charlie from 2002 to 2006.

The View star's secret meltdowns and 'backstage tears' revealed in stunning confession on air
One of The View co-hosts stunned the rest of the panel with a rather shocking admission of backstage meltdowns on set. The revelation happened during the Hot Topics segment of Wednesday's episode, where Whoopi Goldberg brought up a recent article about Gen Z in the workplace. The article revealed that many Gen Z (who are typically born between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s) workers are finding their 'safe space' in workplace bathrooms. Goldberg, 69, insisted that she was her own safe space, while Sunny Hostin, 56, said she has, 'never felt the luxury to cry at work.' 'I just try to get my work done, be as excellent as I can and go home and chill out, but I don't know,' Hostin said. It was then that one of hosts admitted to crying at work, the youngest in The View panel, Alyssa Farah Griffin, 35. 'I cry at work but I hide it, so my bosses will never know,' Griffin said, which clearly stunned Hostin, who asked, 'You cry at work?' 'I have cried at this job at least a half a dozen times, are you kidding me?' Griffin said with a laugh, adding facetiously, 'Have you done this job?' Griffin added that her revelation reminded her of a meme from The Simpsons which she showed to the crowd, where Bart Simpson is showing his friend Milhouse where he goes to cry, adding, 'That's every corner of this building.' Joy Behar then asked, 'What did you cry about? Give me an example,' as Griffin admitted, 'This is a very hard job to do, and I, oftentimes, have the only opinion that's different at a table of five people.' Sara Haines, 47, chimed in and said, 'Let me clarify, it's not just a Gen Z problem,' as Griffin joked that Haines has 'cried on air.' 'Gen Z and maybe the generation before are talking about it because they can call it something. For years and decades and millenia, we have have all channeled it into other places,' Haines added. Haines admitted she does cry at work, and when Hostin asked what she cries about, Haines admitted, 'Every breakup I've ever went through. I try to hide it as well, but I don't hide in bathrooms because I hate bathrooms.' 'Where I camped out was I took a coffee run with a girlfriend and come back very puffy,' Haines admitted. Goldberg chimed in and said, 'The thing that shocks me, it's like, there is nothing that people should be able to do to you to make you cry, because let us support you, because nobody should be crying at this job, nobody,' as the audience applauded Griffin then added, 'I would like to state, for the record, this is a great job, and every time I have cried, (producer) Brian (Teta) gives great hugs.' Goldberg chimed in and said, 'The thing that shocks me, it's like, there is nothing that people should be able to do to you to make you cry, because let us support you, because nobody should be crying at this job, nobody,' as the audience applauded. Griffin joined The View as a permanent host in 2022, after making several guest-hosting appearances in 2021 and 2022. She previously served as the Press Secretary for Vice President Mike Pence, Press Secretary of the Department of Defense and the White House Director of Strategic Communications during the first Donald Trump administration.
