Liv Tyler(HMG) – Anne Hathaway just can’t keep away from con artists.  She is among the victims allegedly, along with Jennifer Aniston, Melanie Griffith, Scott Speedman, and Liv Tyler of “skin artist” Gabriela Perez, who provided treatments to celebrities, and has been charged with using clients’ credit-card information to make fraudulent purchases of at least $280,000. The criminal complaint named Liv Tyler as a major victim, with prosecutors alleging Perez made $214,000 in fraudulent charges on the actress’ American Express card last year. Jewelry designer Loree Rodkin was Perez’ first client to inform federal investigators of the scam. According to the information Rodkin’s lawyer provided, Cher, who endorses Perez’ Beverly Hills spa—called Chez Gabriela Studio—on the salon’s website, was also a victim.  “Gabriela is my favorite ass kicking facialist,” the website quoted Cher saying. “She is the Michelangelo of skin care!”  The spa’s website claims celebrity clientele also includes Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz, Amber Valletta and Mia Wasikowska, but so far they have not been tied to the credit card fraud investigation.
