Generation_D: planned or, I think we all can agree Matt Lauer is pretty damn annoying.

I do not know of any "man" doing any morning show that is not. The target audience is mostly women and pandering to that crowd's interest's requires the attributes of a douche bag.

What, Ann Hathaway has a vagina and it pretty much looks like every other vagina?

The hell you say!

Matt Lauer

Really? I mean you couldn't even see anything but a bit of fuzz. Not like it was a Penthouse spread eagle shot of her uterus.

Other things:

a. The knee brace thing was her custom made fake leather (she's vegan) shoes...I want to kill myself for knowing that

b. Publicity stunt? Maybe, she's a pretty classy woman though, we're not talking about Lohan or Spears here. Plus does that movie really need the little but extra publicity that's going to come from seeing her crotch fur?

It's a huge movie, widely advertised. I don't know how much effect seeing Hathaway's landing strip is going to have on the box office. Certainly no
more than if she made up a story about making out with a chick once or talked about a sex tape, and those don't involve pictures of the top of her crotch being available on the Internet forever.

c. Why not wear panties if you're so mortified by the possibility someone might see your goods in a dress with a slit (heh) like that in it? Panty lines? Isn't that what thongs are for? My wife tells me they even make non-thing undies that are supposed to eliminate panty lines if she doesn't like thongs. Doesn't mean she staged it, maybe she is just a dirty girl who gets off on being out in public with the warm air caressing the...and I'm spent.

Ah, the wisdom of Fark. You're either biatching because some woman won't show you her hoo-haa, or you're biatching because she did show her hoo-haa, and you're pissed because you think it was a publicity stunt, and not the creepy voyeuristic stalker shot that you hoped for.

I can only conclude that a lot of you spend time peeking into teenage girl's windows.

A brazilian people are gonna see that movie now.

carrion_luggage: What, Ann Hathaway has a vagina and it pretty much looks like every other vagina?

The hell you say!

No way, hers is nice and neat, and I bet it smells like a birthday cake Yankee Candle.

Le Miz? More like Le Jizz! Am I right, people?

bulldg4life: I figured it was just an accident up until I saw that she has an interview and instantly tied it back to her character in Les Mis.

She's been practicing that response.

She's been practicing for years (NSFW/NSFF)

Bontesla: Weaver95: Bontesla: Anyone who doesn't think that the wardrobe malfunction was a publicity stunt really underestimates Hollywood.

i'm not so sure. she seems mortified by it.

She's done incredibly exposed sex scenes before so nudity for money or success doesn't appear to be an issue. It's a fairly common Hollywood stunt to drum up publicity. And she's an insanely talented actress.

Other than her reaction, there's no evidence to suggest this was all an accident.

It just doesn't seem likely.

abhorrent1: PreMortem: I think you are confusing her with Lindsay Lohan. Hathaway does not remotely need to flash her mop n glow for publicity.

I'm going to a premier where I know there will be a thousand paparazzi taking picture of every inch of every star, from ever possible angle that comes through. Hmm lets see. I'm gonna where this tight dress, slit all the way up to my crotch, and not where anything underneath. What could possible go wrong?

These types of pictures get taken all the time. You can tell me they aren't aware of them. I'm sorry, it wasn't an accident.

These are two remarkably stupid comments. I'm sorry. You folks seem otherwise smart, but your heads are kind of up your asses on this issue..

She's not reality TV trash. She's an A-list actress with two blockbusters this year alone. Why does she need "crotch shot" publicity again?

Don't be like that. Look, if you ask nicely and leave out some milk and cookies I'm sure one of us would be happy to bite the bullet and peek in your window so you can feel young again, OK?

As for Ms. Hathaway... just because I think it was a publicity thing doesn't mean I'm biatching about it. The more she wants to show off the better, IMHO, and I am not picky as to why she's showing it. She's incredibly gorgeous.

bulldg4life: I figured it was just an accident up until I saw that she has an interview and instantly tied it back to her character in Les Mis.

She's been practicing that response.

Yeah, I would too if I'd been humiliated and wanted to smooth it out as much as possible. Or do you think these interviews are all done on the fly?

That is one impeccably-manicured vagina.

A lot of derp in this thread. I agree with Hathaway, it is embarrassing that this crap is even mentioned on a freaking national morning show. The Today show is only just a thinly veiled US magazine in TV form. This farking dbag Lauer has a captive guest in Hathaway. She is there on his stupid show to promote her movie, which her contract most likely makes her do, and this farking guy is talking about a shot of some pubes that could only be captured by the photographer flashing 100 pictures in 2 seconds with a huge flash. Fark this guy, fark you derpers, fark Lauer and fark the popo.

Roook: Who are these photographers who get down in the gutters just to try and get upskirt shots of women get out of cars. Shouldn't that be illegal?

Probably. If she were my sister or my daughter, I would warn her to be more careful next time and then I would be tempted to curb-stomp the paparazzi.

I know that people have been arrested in the past for taking up-skirt shots in public places.

All women should just get used to the idea that, at any time, they could appear naked online.

Men want to see. Just accept it.

After finally watching the interview, he didn't blindside her by bringing up the topic. She actually chuckled a bit, and had a prepared response. Behind the scenes, it was like this -- his people talked to her people, said there is "this issue" out there and we just can't sweep it under the rug. (should I say carpet?). We'll get it out of the way with a softball question, Anne can state her prepared response, and then we'll get onto the business of promoting the movie. The Today Show isn't 60 Minutes, they can make arrangements like this to keep guests happy. And keeping guests happy keeps them in the infotainment business.

I'm not a big Lauer fan, but he brought up what everybody was thinking and tipped her off ahead of time.

Seriously though, if you are going to wear a skirt or dress or baggy shorts (yes, this applies to men too) then wear some damn underwear.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I think people like you and others in this thread are reacting exactly as she wanted you too. "Awe poorAnne. Lets go see her movie." You're a publicists dream. Why does she need "crotch shot" publicity? One word, residuals.

Plus she says this.
we live in an age when someone takes a picture of another person in a vulnerable moment and rather than delete it, and do the decent thing, sells it.

She's been in Hollywood for 12 farking years. If she's still that naive and/or stupid, then maybe it was an accident. I'm not buying it though. Funny how this stuff only happens when they have a movie or book coming out. Next up, we'll hear about how she's bi-sexual.

fnliii: I'm gonna stick with my first reaction reading this -

Dick move, Lauer.

Why the hell would a crotch shot make people want to see a musical? One has nothing to do with another. I always wanted to see it because it looked good. I doubt many people see movies out of pity and I certainly doubt that straight men who get turned on by this will be inspired to sit through "Les Mis".

I'm not trying to be mean, but your logic is batshiat crazy.

Anne is not the kind of person to go attention-whoring. Maybe that's just how she normally goes. I don't know. It's not my right to know. It shouldn't have been my right to know she wasn't wearing underwear that night in the first place. What I do know is that if she's not out on business, shooting a movie or promoting it or something work-related, she's really fairly reclusive. And incidents like this are not going to make her go out in public any more often.

Did she rehearse her answer? Hell yes. I would have too. Did you want a goddamned crying jag out of her? The deed's been done. The pictures were taken, they're on the Internet, they're never coming off the Internet, and it's all thanks to some bound-and-determined lowlife sleazeball who feeds on the misery of others. There's nothing left to do but try to pick up the pieces and get back to business.

And as a side note, remember this is the same network that pre-empted a tribute to the London bombings so they could have Ryan Seacrest interview Michael Phelps. Of course they were going to ask Anne Hathaway about her hoo-ha.

NOT a publicity stunt. I'm sure she's worried it will damage her image and perhaps cost her the Golden Globe and Oscar.

She was attending a premiere of a movie she's probably watched 5 times already in the past week. To alleviate the boredom of yet another viewing, she didn't wear panties hoping that maybe she and her husband might be able to engage in a litte surreptitious finger-banging during the film. It was a secret between her and her husband to heighten the excitement of the event. Unfortunately for her, the whole world found out.

Gosling: It shouldn't have been my right to know she wasn't wearing underwear that night in the first place.

Are celebrities incapable of wearing underwear like the rest of us?

Wayne 985: Why the hell would a crotch shot make people want to see a musical?

You seem to have no idea how publicity works.
Every radio show, entertainment or news program, morning talk show etc. is talking about it. Millions of people that didn't even know the film version existed two days ago, now know. It works the same way any other type of advertisement works.

Of course you can sweep it under the rug. All you have to do is NOT BRING IT UP. Nobody put a gun to Matt's head and forced him to ask Anne about her vagina.

CarnySaur: Thank you for making me laugh on a bad day.

It's what I'm here for.
You're welcome.

Roook: Who are these photographers who get down in the gutters just to try and get upskirt shots of women get out of cars. Shouldn't that be illegal?

From another article:

"I was getting out of the car and my dress was so tight that I didn't realize it until I saw all the photographers' flashes," she told Vanity Fair writer Ingrid Sischy

Hilarious until you realize how common this is. I saw a video of a similar incident with Yana Gupta. Someone was videoing her at some kind of event and realized she had no panties on. Now, I'm a guy and such things are Relevant To My Interests so I would have surely kept filming. But this actually started zooming right in there. Can you imagine what that would have looked like to be there and see some photographer blatantly zooming in on someone's crotch? That's a bit much.

Firstly, I apologize for cursing in my previous posts. This is Fark and all, but I was still rude.

However, I maintain that you're way off base. This movie already had tremendous buzz and the people who get turned on by this sleazy stuff aren't the type who are going to leap at the chance to see a long, dramatic musical. It's like claiming "Lincoln" would've performed even better if we saw Daniel Day Lewis on a nude beach. It's just not gonna happen that way.

The older she gets the more Jewey she looks.

clownyclownzomby: Outstanding. Now greened as "clit sluice'" Thank you.

Ok, now I'm laughing, too.
Usually I get farkied as troll or something worse.
ClitSluice, that I will wear with pride.

Lesbian?

Next time, right? Right?

Gosling: Anne is not the kind of person to go attention-whoring.

I respectfully disagree with you on that one. I'm almost positive that I've never seen a movie with her in it, but when I hear the name "Anne Hathaway" the word(s) "side-boob" pop immediately into my head. Almost every time I see her on a late night talk show, or on a red carpet, she's wearing some sleeveless dress.

I am going to have to agree with staged event given her comfort level with nudity based on her interviews before and after HAVOC. I think she is great and a joy to watch. I hope we are allowed to see more of her nude.

Sgt Otter: nekom: Weaver95: i'm not so sure. she seems mortified by it.

Look, if you don't want anyone to see your hoo hah, especially if you are a celebrity and as such likely to be extensively photographed in any public appearance, WEAR SOME GOTDAMN UNDERWEAR!

Evening gowns don't mix with visible panty lines. Plus, I'd totally go commando at some fancy party.

But you think by now, women who don't want papparzzi pix of their precious pink pussies would either block the shot with their free hand or pocketbook.

You dont have the legs to pull off a gown like that.

You would think celebrities would practice gettin out of cars so people wont get a view of the little man in the boat, or at least not take a damn SUV to an event.

Joanna Lumley demonstrated how to do it when she was on the Graham Norton Show.

So ... she's mortified over this, but the picture that makes it look like she's blowing her ex on his yacht she's never said much about?

Don't worry about it. I'm married and have a Rhino like shell. ;)

But like I said, we'll have to agree to disagree. I can tell you that I didn't know they made this into a movie or that she was in it until this happened. I don't watch TMZ or "E" or whatever though. You're correct though in that it's not gonna make me go see it. I can see plenty of women hotter then her online with a simple click and I hate musicals. But that's just me. Maybe the reason is that they're out in public more but it just seems oddly coincidental that these things only happen when someone has a movie coming out. Or maybe I'm just cynical.

I know If I were staring in a movie and thought getting my picture taken getting out of a limo with my wang hanging out might draw a few hundred thousand more movie goers to see it. I'd do it because $$$!

Style of dress is one thing. Anne's got a very healthy body image. But I'm talking like partying every night and strutting on the beach and taking every extracirricular opportunity to get in front of a camera. That kind of thing.

quickdraw: OMG a woman with a vagina.

shocking.

You do realize, unless you walk the streets naked, just how incredibly stupid that comment is, right?
