Anne Hathaway - The word "survivor" this year.

Anne HathawayAnne HathawayAnne Hathaway is one of some of the ones who defined the word "survivor" this year.

A-list Anne Hathaway has been a star on the rise since The Devil Wears Prada opposite Meryl Streep catapulted her into the superstar realm in 2006.

Unfortunately, Hathaway' relationship with longtime boyfriend Rafaello Follieri didn't follow the same track. The Italian real estate developer, whom Hathaway had dated since 2004, was arrested in June of this year for reportedly fleecing investors out of millions of dollars in a fraud scheme.

Anne Hathaway, knowing that Follieri was under investigation by the Feds, broke up with him in the same month. Anne's diaries were also seized as evidence by the authorities. "It's a situation where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden. But just as suddenly, my friends threw another rug back under me. One said, 'Go stay at my house.' " Hathaway later said about the break-up. Follieri went to jail, and she is reportedly dating again, being linked with both Josh Lucas and actor Adam Shulman.

So Hathaway bounced back. Let's just hope that she insists on total honesty in a relationship from now on...
