Anne Hathaway has friends worried she's headed for heartbreak - five months after splitting from her jailed ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri.

The 26-year-old actress revealed she had found love again last month with actor Adam Shulman - during the same time Follieri was sentenced to a four-and-a-half year prison spell after pleading guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering.

Hathaway said at the time of her then-unknown new flame, "You know when you don't know someone very well?you just meet them and you're like, 'Wow, you really have it going on'?"

But according to a source at the New York Post, 27-year-old Shulman could be the wrong man for the actress, adding: "Adam is known as an opportunist. When he was at Brown (University), he went after all the heiresses. It's like Anne is addicted to losers."

A spokesperson for Shulman has declined to comment.
