Anne Hathaway Gives Herself A Break

So her Oscar chances were crushed by the juggernaut of Kate Winslet and the "Extras" rule that Holocaust movies always win. So what? Anne Hathaway gave herself some time off anyway and was spotted relaxing in Liberia, Costa Rica. Hathaway went on a boat ride and, later on, posed for pictures with some fans who happened to be lucky enough to be vacationing there at the same time.

If you like having the place all to yourself, now's a great time to visit the Caribbean. If you're part of the tourist-and-trade economy, ehhh, not so much. Among the American businesses smacked by the effects of the Caribbean tourism slump are food distributors who supply to mega-cruises and transport companies normally mailing goodies between Caribbean immigrants and the families they left behind.

At the same time, no one wants it to look like he's enjoying a deluxe vacation when other people can't. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't -- but hey, don't blame Hathaway. She's just trying to have a good time.
