Anne Hathaway

Enjoying a break from her stage duties, Anne Hathaway and boyfriend Adam Shulman were spotted making their way around New York City on Friday (July 3).

Looking very much in love, the "Devil Wears Prada" actress and her beau did a bit of shopping and grabbed a lunch in the East Village - sharing a big smooch while seated at an outdoor table.

As for her latest endeavor, Miss Hathaway has been busy performing in the play "Twelfth Night" at Shakespeare in the Park.

With shows running through July 12, Anne has gotten high praise for her work. Among her fans, David Rooney of Variety wrote: "It's hard to imagine a more satisfying staging of the crowd-pleasing romantic comedy than this one orchestrated by director Daniel Sullivan, a superb design team and an impeccable cast assembled around Anne Hathaway, who makes a thoroughly winning and accomplished professional Shakespeare debut."

Some 134 U.S. film industry figures have been invited to become voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, officials say.

Included among them are actors Hugh Jackman, who served as the host of this year's Oscars show, and Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, James Franco and Michelle Williams, the Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.

Comic performers have been invited into the Academy as well, including Michael Cera, Seth Rogan and Paul Rudd, the Reporter said.

Officials said a maximum of 166 slots were open this year, but the various Academy committees endorsed fewer candidates than were proposed to them.

"These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world," academy President Sid Ganis said in a statement. "It's this kind of talent and creativity that make up the Academy, and I welcome each of them to our ranks."
