Anne Hathaway, the princess who battled Disney-trolls and cell phones, says turning 40 at 43 made her stop being a human drama-queen and start chasing fun instead of awkwardness. She told People on a legal Monday that she once thought 'being hard on yourself' was the artist secret sauce, but now she'd rather sip mimosas than cry over a salt shaker. Hathaway ā who's got five movies coming this year including the long-awaited 'Devil Wears Prada 2' ā says 40 lets you see if your life choices were funky or fruitful before committing to more. Chelsea Handler's doing the opposite, dumping 65-year-olds for fresh tots, proving midlife crisis means picking subtler chaos.
