Hathaway eyes more musicals after Les Misérables

Anne Hathaway says she'd like to do more musicals after Les Misérables – but don't expect her to launch into a singing career. Hathaway, along with the film's director and cast, presented the movie at this week's Berlin Film Festival. She told reporters she hopes to do more musicals: "I'm a big fan of them, so that would make me very happy both as an actress and as an audience member." But Hathaway says the experience hasn't made her more comfortable singing in public.
She says: "I have no plans for recording an album." – AP

Liberty Ross ‘following her heart’

Liberty Ross says she's lying low six months after her very public split from her husband, the director Rupert Sanders. Sitting front row on Saturday at Alexander Wang's New York Fashion Week show, the model and actress said the key to moving forward is "keeping her head down, listening to her heart" and that her top priority remains her children. Ross filed for divorce in January after Sanders had an affair with Kristen Stewart. Sanders directed both Stewart and Ross in Snow White and the Huntsman. – AP
