Valentine's Day will be that much sweeter with a song from Taylor Swift, don't ya think?

The singer, who plays opposite Taylor Lautner in the upcoming ensemble romantic comedy from director Garry Marshall, will likely be writing and performing a tune for the flick.

"We hope she does," Marshall told me yesterday at Variety's inaugural Power of Women luncheon in Beverly Hills. "But when people write songs, they always want to see the movie.

"[Taylor] wants to see the part that she's in," he added. "I just finished, so I need to edit for a second."

Marshall had hoped that Lautner and Swift would have bigger roles in the movie. Sadly, their busy schedules didn't allow for it.

"She writes and sings and he does the vampire thing," Marshall said. "But I discovered Taylor Lautner ran track back in Minnesota. That's why I have him jumping hurdles in the movie. She likes to dance and he likes to jump a hurdle, so we made up the scene for them."

Valentine's Day also reunites Marshall with Julia Roberts. He was quick to shoot down the never-ending rumor that there will be a sequel to their hit Pretty Woman.

However, Marshall did reveal that he's considering another Pretty Woman project. Read on for the scoop...

Anne Hathaway is a getting a little more serious with her new man, actor Adam Shulman.

At least enough to bring him to an awards show.

The Golden Globe nominee’s blond beau was at last night’s opening gala of the Palm Springs International Film Festival, where Hathaway picked up the Desert Palm Achievement Award for Rachel Getting Married.

The PDA was kept to a minimum—Shulman waited inside the Palm Springs Convention Center ballroom while Hathaway did red carpet arrival press—but...

Anne Hathaway swears she she's not one of those gals who obsesses about her dream wedding. But she does admit to thinking about at least one detail of the big day.

"I haven't thought about the food; I haven't thought about the look; I haven't thought about my dress. I haven't really thought about the guy," Hathaway says in the new issue of Modern Bride magazine. "But every once in a while, I'll listen to a song, and I'm like, 'I want that at my wedding.' "

What's on her playlist?

Things nearly got bloody as Anne Hathaway tussled with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on the set of the upcoming Get Smart movie.

The two were shooting a fight scene when Hathaway accidentally kicked Johnson in the head with the heel of her shoe, according to the film's director, Peter Segal.

"The stunt coordinator was saying, 'Her foot will come within six inches of your face, but from this angle it will look like it connects,' ” Segal told me earlier today. “Dwayne started to say, ‘This looks closer than six inches. Are you sure she’s going to be able to pull her kick in time so she doesn’t hit me?’ The stunt coordinator said, ‘Oh, yeah; everything’s fine.' "

Luckily, Johnson wasn't hurt. “Anne was mortified and so apologetic, but he milked it,” Segal said. “He painted little bruises on his forehead and came up to her later and pretended that he was wounded.”

Hathaway also connected with costar Steve Carell. But in a much different sort of way.

"Anne is such a sick, crazy Office fan,” Segal said. “I swear to God, she knows every line from every episode. She insisted on auditioning even though we said, ‘No, it’s not really necessary.’ But then at the moment she sat down next to Steve, he started ad-libbing a little bit and then she started ad-libbing to catch up with him, and before long, I found myself feverishly writing notes of what they were saying. Later on after we hired her and we were shooting the movie, we shot a lot of those ad-libs.” (Segal promises the audition tape will be part of the eventual DVD release.)

Now about Maxwell Smart’s famous shoe phone. “At the time, the shoe phone was the coolest thing in the world,” Segal says of the original 1960s television series created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. “We didn’t have cordless phones, let alone cell phones. So now the thought of somebody actually putting a shoe to their face is kind of disgusting. But we did talk to Apple about possibly making a screen saver for iPhones. It would look like the bottom of a shoe.”
