Anne Hathaway may be fine-tuning her guy-dar in the wake of her bust-up from her con artist ex, Raffaello Follieri. The New York Daily News claims she's decided to take a moratorium from men after spending the last four years with the guilty-pleading, locked-up Follieri. "She wants to make good decisions in her next relationship," says an insider. "She is working on figuring out what went wrong with Raffaello." The actress is supposedly so serious about steering clear of potentially undesirable suitors that she spurned the advances of a "very handsome, but aggressive" Australian wooer last week. The paper says that in between promoting her Oscar buzz-generating drama "Rachel Getting Married," Hathaway has been hanging out with her family, attending church, catching up with pals and getting centered with some yoga. She's also reportedly found a new apartment in Manhattan, although it's probably not as palatial as the $37,000-a-month pad she shared with Follieri.

Sarah and Jimmy hit the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles last April.

Have Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel decided that they don't want to [bleep] Matt Damon, Ben Affleck or anyone else except each other? The comedic flames, who parted ways in July after five years of coupledom, were caught by paparazzi as they exited a Los Angeles karaoke bar hand-in-hand over the weekend, a sighting that immediately sparked reconciliation talk. But a rep dismisses any deeper meaning to their digit-touching, explaining to Us, "They remain close friends." Just two weeks ago, Silverman offered kudos to her ex as she accepted a Creative Arts Emmy for the video "I'm [Bleeping] Matt Damon," saying, "Thanks to the person for whom this whole video was made: Jimmy Kimmel, who broke my heart -- oh, who'll always have a place in my heart." Their outing also comes on the heels of a hee-larious item in the current National Enquirer, which blames their breakup in part on the late night host's purported discovery of a cache of pictures on Silverman's computer featuring portly, partly dressed gents. "At first, he thought it was some sort of bizarre joke ... but then Jimmy confronted Sarah and realized it was no joke," a source alleges to the tabloid. "The bottom line is Sarah is a chubby chaser!" That would hardly be news to Kimmel, who told People earlier this year, "Sarah is funny and smart and good to look at. Plus, she likes fat guys. What more could I ask?"

Was Drew Barrymore's caught-on-camera tonsillectomy with "Gossip Girl" eye candy Ed Westwick done both literally and figuratively with tongue in cheek? So claims the New York Daily News, which believes their saliva swap last week was "a joke." "Ed and Drew saw the cameras and said, 'Let's suck face,'" a pal tells the paper. But the affable star, 33, is apparently a bit more serious about her reported recent quality time with her "Whip It!" cast mate Landon Pigg, 25, and a 24-year-old waiter from the Manhattan eatery the Spotted Pig. "She wasn't just kidding with them," says the friend of the swine-themed suitors, with another source unkindly adding, "It's a little gross. She's getting over Justin [Long] and making all these really bad decisions."

In what some might consider a relationship deal-breaker, Janet Jackson allegedly got an instant replay of boyfriend Jermaine Dupri's birthday revelries. The New York Post claims that after a recent night spent celebrating his 36th birthday at Manhattan hot spot Tenjune with champagne and tequila, Dupri "vomited in Janet's lap. Ms. Jackson bolted out of the scene and sped off in her chauffeured Maybach." Reps for the longtime twosome are mum on the purported purging.

Sean Penn apparently still thinks of long-ago love Madonna -- at least when he's puckering up with someone who has the potential to give him razor burn. The Oscar winner's "Milk" co-star James Franco claims to Out magazine that after their lip-lock scene, "Sean texted Madonna -- his ex-wife, Madonna -- and said, 'I just popped my cherry kissing a guy. I thought of you. I don't know why.'" Madonna and Sean tied the knot in 1985 but split after less than four years of volatile, paparazzi-slugging togetherness.
