Hathaway hates 'regular girl' label

Brokeback Mountain star Anne Hathaway hates being called a "regular" girl in Hollywood, because she insists it insinuates she is fat.

The 23-year-old actress attacks the fashion industry's obsession with weight in new film The Devil Wears Prada, and claims the pressure to be thin in the film industry is just as intense.

She explains: "It does kind of bother me when people come up and say: 'It's so refreshing to see someone regular in Hollywood.'

"I'm like: 'What does that mean?' I don't want to be the regular girl because that's a code word for fat by the Hollywood system.

"I don't know where I fall in it, but I haven't gotten any complaints from my boyfriend. And I fit into (US) size four clothes, so I guess I don't have anything to worry about.

"In Hollywood you have to be careful if you go above a six, then you're considered fat. I'm considered to be, I hope, an actress, and you can get away with a couple of extra pounds if you are trading on your talent instead of your sex appeal.

"I don't have time to be tortured by my weight!"
