Anne Hathaway learned the hard way that most people don't read books anymore – that is if you watch the "The Tonight Show."

This week, the actress sat down with late-night host Jimmy Fallon to promote her new movie, "The Idea Of You," which is based on the identically titled 2017 novel written by Robinne Lee.

Midway through the interview, Anne was discussing the plot of the film in which her character, Solene – a single mom -- unexpectedly falls for a younger boy band singer, Hayes, played by Nicholas Galitzine.

It's the middle of the week, and TMZ's got a whole bunch of clips to get you over the hump (day).

The actor opens up about this in "Butterfly in the Sky" -- a new documentary about the beloved children's program that he hosted in the '80s, '90s and 2000s ... revealing some of the most iconic parts of his appearance back then actually pissed off the creative team.

As detailed by People, LeVar refused to dress or present himself in a way that felt inauthentic. As a result ... he says he'd clash with showrunners and people behind the scenes -- who apparently gave him a hard time over fashion choices, like his famous earring.
