Anne started dating actor Adam Shulman right after her chaotic breakup with convicted felon Raffaello Follieri, who was charged with fraud and embezzlement in 2008 following a scandalous spectacle that eventually led to their relationship’s very public demise.

Thankfully. Anne seems to have found the right man in Adam. The actress was recently seen out and about sporting her new engagement ring, which was reportedly designed by Kwiat Heritage.

Congrats, Anne and Adam!

Apparently, to Anne, it doesn’t.

Why? Because, before Adam, Anne was going out with Italian real estate developer Raffaello Follieri, who is now infamously known for his extremely shocking fraud scandal back in 2008. Definitely not mellow and definitely not boring, but… definitely a criminal.

Now that she’s with Adam, Anne says:

“So far, it’s worked out great.”

The actress admits that, before, she had a tendency to get caught up in the intensity of romance. She adds:

“Which has its wonderful side, of course…but also it was exhausting, and sometimes it would freak me out. Mellow doesn’t always make for a good story, but it makes for a good life.”

Anne doesn’t really like to talk about her ex, Raffaello, with whom she shared a four-year relationship with prior to the scandal. She broke things off with him, as reported by celebrity gossip websites everywhere,  just after he was arrested for perpetrating what is now known as the “Vati-Con” scandal.

Do you think Anne is much better off with Adam?

More pictures of Anne after the bustup…

Adam and a buddy came with screwdrivers, to make lifting the picture a bit easier. From the New York Post:

At around 4 p.m., Shulman, a bit-part actor, and his pal walked up to the painting fastened to a construction-site barrier on Ninth Avenue near Little West 12th Street, witness Frank Ross told The Post.

“They showed up with screwdrivers in hand,” Ross said.

“One started unscrewing the mural from the top,” Ross said. “Then the other helped by unscrewing the bottom.”

“Once it was removed, it looked very heavy, but they took off like a ball of fire.”

Ross said the two then took the mural into a nearby loft building on Greenwich Street.

Hmmmm…an embezzler and now an art thief. Not the greatest track record, Anne! What should she do?

Uh oh. Poor Anne. Let’s just hope she sees this as paparazzi revenge from her last dead weight boyfriend. What do you think?
