(Newser) – Anne Hathaway made fun of her high-profile split with convicted fraudster Rafaello Follieri on Saturday Night Live, reports MSNBC. “I broke up with my boyfriend … and two weeks later he was sent to prison for fraud … I mean, we've all been there, right, ladies?” the actress said in opening the show, which scored one of its highest ratings since 2002.

“She is so moving on,” says a friend. “People didn't really give her enough credit when she was in the middle of it all. News flash—she's always been fun and a little self-deprecating.”

Sarah Palin, Come Back! SNL Needs You

Show loses its edge without the moose-hunting governor
