Turns out Lehigh Valley star Amanda Seyfried may have caused her "Les Miserables" co-star Anne Hathaway to make a hasty last-minute gown selection change. Allentown native Seyfried looked stunning in a pale appliqued dress by British designer Alexander McQueen. Reports now say Hathaway saw a photo of the gown Seyfried planned to wear and then changed her choice because the gowns were so similar. Hathaway said she was planning to wear a Valentino gown up until just three hours before the awards ceremony. She ended up wearing a pale pink Prada gown with chest darts that accentated her, um, nipples. Hathaway issued an apology about …

Our polarized country could learn from 'Les Miserables.'
Les Misérables, the musical and now blockbuster movie, is a kind of Rorschach test. Some people see it primarily as a story of faith and redemption and others as a battle of good and evil in a class-driven society. Others clasp on to the love stories – father and adopted daughter, the love triangle of Marius, Cosette and Éponine, the all-sacrificing mother Fantine.
