Actress Anne Hathaway is being sued by a real estate broker in the Bahamas who claims she failed to pay for a house she rented there over New Year (04/05).

JAMES DINGMAN is claiming $18,000 (GBP9,500) in unpaid rent for the property in Nassau, plus $2,500 (GBP1,315) for a party he alleges the 22-year-old and her boyfriend RAFAELLO FOLIERE held at the Old Fort Bay Club, in addition to $700 (GBP368) in expenses.

He claims the PRINCESS DIARIES star has repeatedly promised to wire him the money, but his bank account has yet to be credited.

But Hathaway is stunned, insisting she was only a guest at the house.

Her representative tells PAGESIX.COM, "This guy is using her name for publicity. Her name wasn't on the lease. She was an invited guest."
