Hard at work on her latest project, Julia Roberts was spotted arriving on the set of “Eat, Pray, Love” in Midtown Manhattan earlier today (August 3).
The “My Best Friend’s Wedding” actress looked focused as she chatted with crew members prior to filming a few scenes.
And according to a report, “Public Enemies” actor Billy Crudup will be joining the already stellar cast of the movie, based on the bestselling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert.
The film chronicles the author’s travels around the world in a journey to restore her spirit after a difficult divorce. Javier Bardem and Richard Jenkins also star.

She’s one of the most accomplished women in Hollywood, and earlier today (July 23) Julia Roberts was spotted working on a new movie called “Eat, Pray, Love.”
The “Pretty Woman” hottie sported several different ensembles throughout the Manhattan outdoor shoot, changing quickly in between takes like the seasoned pro that she is.
And it sounds like Julia has a magical admirer- “Harry Potter” actress Emma Watson recently told press she considers Roberts her hero and role model.
Emma told press, “When I was little, I wanted to be a fairy after being a princess. Then I realized it was impossible so I decided to be an actress. My hero is Julia Roberts. As a child I always wanted to be like her. She has a magnetic personality and smile.”

Warm weather brings out all the bikini clad stars, and I love it! This time, Julia Roberts shows off her bikini body on vacation in Hawaii. The over 40 actress still looks quite beautiful at the beach. Sure, Julia has some natural aging effects, but I think they are no problem. The pretty woman Julia Roberts still looks just as wonderful and sexy!

Julia Roberts honored Tom Hanks at the Film Society of Lincoln Center event by saying “fuck” a lot of times and bemoaning his recent string of confusing movies. Good times.
“Alright well, it’s late and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee,” she began. “So Tom, everybody fucking likes you. All my bits are gone. Listen, I had lunch today with Rita [Wilson, Hanks' wife], and her tits were here [motioned high] and her waist was here [motioned small] and her ass was like that [motioned high], so what can I tell you that’s new? Tom Hanks, what the fuck?”
She then went on to say she’s seen most of Hanks’ films except That Thing (You Do). I love the Cohen brothers, but the hair Tom [in 2004's Ladykillers], I didn’t even know what the fuck that movie was about!” Of 2004’s The Terminal, she cracked, “You in the airport with the accent? It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn’t know. I love you, and I didn’t know what to do, really. God, I?m wearing the same fucking dress tonight as your publicist!”
“Listen, I’ve got to get home. But this much we know … I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you.”
This is like the speech my ex-girlfriend gave at my graduation dinner. Except, instead of ending with “I love you,” it ended with her shoving a two month old baby in my face and telling me “you’re a daddy” and instead of me laughing, I ran away to Florida and changed my name.

There's always got to be a drunk ass foul-mouthed bitch at every party and at last night's tribute to Tom Hanks by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, Julia Roberts was that ho. Everyone embrace a fellow drunktardian into our club.
When it was Julia's turn to speak about Tom, she loaded her cannon with fuck bombs and aimed it at the audience. Julia's speech sounds like gorgeous music to my ears: (read it in a slurry, burpy voice) "Alright well, it's late and I'm paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee. So Tom, everybody fucking likes you. All my bits are gone. Listen, I had lunch today with Rita, and her tits were here [motioned high] and her waist was here [motioned small] and her ass was like that [motioned high], so what can I tell you that's new? Tom Hanks, what the fuck?"
Julia the went on to talk about Tom's illustrous film career, "I love the Cohen brothers, but the hair Tom [in 2004's Ladykillers], I didn't even know what the fuck that movie was about! "You in the airport with the accent (she's talking about Terminal)? It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn't know. I love you, and I didn't know what to do, really. God, I?m wearing the same fucking dress tonight as your publicist! Listen, I've got to get home. But this much we know ... I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you."
Before falling off the edge of the stage in a drunken stupor, Julia told the audience, "It's so dark out there, I feel like I?m in space. Thank you, whoever just made it light. J.J. Abrams, are you here?"
Julia Roberts is awesome for that. When did Julia Roberts become my auntie giving an impromptu speech about how much she loves her pet ferrett at Thanksgiving dinner after downing a whole box of Franzia? I don't know if that made any sense, because I think I got contact drunk after reading Julia's rant.
You know that after she got home, she crawled into bed with her kids and practically suffocated them with her hot booze bref kisses! She slobbered on them and said, "I luuuuvz youuuz sooo soo mu-uuuch." I used to love when my mom did that.
Seriously, Julia needs to do shit like this more often!
Here's some of the hos who got to witness Julia's ridiculousness last night.

When she was first becoming a huge movie star, Julia Roberts famously described herself as ?somewhere between a chick and a broad?. The original quote was, ?I?m too tall to be a girl, I never had enough dresses to be a lady, I wouldn?t call myself a woman. I?d say I?m somewhere between a chick and a broad.? Once a broad, always a broad. Julia?s never really been known as obscene, but she got down and dirty during a tribute to Tom Hanks Monday night. Julia not only used the f-bomb several times, she talked graphically about Rita Wilson?s body in an obscene yet complimentary way. Reading Julia?s comments, I tend to think she might have had a few too many glasses of wine. Or maybe that?s the way she really talks, and she was just letting it all hang out:
Get Julia Roberts a bar of soap!
At a Film Society of Lincoln Center event honoring Tom Hanks in NYC Monday, the Duplicity star, 41, dropped the F-bomb several times.
“Alright well, it’s late and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee,” she began. “So Tom, everybody f—–g likes you. All my bits are gone. Listen, I had lunch today with Rita [Wilson, Hanks' wife], and her t–s were here [motioned high] and her waist was here [motioned small] and her a– was like that [motioned high], so what can I tell you that’s new? Tom Hanks, what the f–k?”
Audience members - including Charlize Theron - busted up with laughter.
She then went on to say she’s seen most of Hanks’ films except That Thing (You Do). I love the Cohen brothers, but the hair Tom [in 2004's Ladykillers], I didn’t even know what the f–k that movie was about!” Of 2004’s The Terminal, she cracked, “You in the airport with the accent? It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn’t know. I love you, and I didn’t know what to do, really. God, I?m wearing the same f—–g dress tonight as your publicist!”
The audience again laughed. “Listen, I’ve got to get home. But this much we know … I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you.”
Roberts then lost her train of thought. “It’s so dark out there, I feel like I?m in space,” she said as an audience member held up their cell phone. “Thank you, whoever just made it light. [Lost creator] J.J. Abrams, are you here?”
Before exiting the stage, she reiterated to Hanks how much she loved him.
From US Weekly
Doesn?t she sound drunk? Maybe she was just punch-drunk, too tired or jet-lagged or something. In any case, I doubt Tom was offended. I actually cuss like a sailor in my real life, and some days it takes real effort not to type in a string of obscenities when I?m writing about someone like Jessica Simpson or Paris Hilton. And Julia?s totally right about The Terminal. That film was horrible (mainly because of Catherine Zeta-Jones, not Hanks), and I wouldn?t recommend it to anyone.
Julia Roberts is shown last night at the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Gala Tribute Honoring Tom Hanks. Also shown are Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Ron Howard, Sally Field, Glenn Close, Steven Spielberg, Ed Burns, Christy Turlington, Charlize Theron, Jeremy Irons, Adrien Brody, and Tom Hanks’ son, Colin Hanks.

Julia Roberts has got to have one of the most envied faces ? and bodies ? in Hollywood. Yet she admits to having some confidence issues while filming her current movie ?Duplicity,? with Clive Owen. Julia had given birth to son Henry just six months prior, and wasn?t feeling like she was at the peak of physical perfection. She also said she?s never been really thin, no matter how hard she tried. But she thinks that?s the key to her long and successful career.
Enquirer: You filmed Duplicity six months after giving birth to Henry. Were you confident with your body?
JR: To be honest, I was kind of panicking. I was still nursing him in my trailer, but I felt very supported by the director and Clive. You have a baby, and you just want to stay home in your elastic waistband pants.
Enquirer: And Hollywood leading ladies seem to keep getting thinner.
JR: I know! I look the same. I guess that’s my staying power. My fighting weight. That is a strange thing that happens. People get wildly famous and they get incredibly slim. It never happened to me, no matter how hard I tried!
Enquirer: So, you like to eat?
JR: I do, I have always been a friend of food.
Enquirer: Do you work out?
JR: I do, but working full-tie and being a mom full-time, something got to fall. Or fall down!
[From The Enquirer, March 30 2009, print ed.]
Julia?s always had an amazing physique that I?m sure is envied by millions of women. She?s never been scary skinny in the way that is trendy these days. She?s always been thin with curves. The Enquirer has a pictorial timeline of her bust (groan, I know), and it?s clear Julia was never particularly ample in the chest until she had kids. She?s always looked absolutely gorgeous. It?s amazing how little her face has changed over time. She?s said she isn?t ready for cosmetic surgery yet, and with a face like that, she probably won’t ever want it. Maybe some of the new crop of freakishly tiny starlets should take a lesson from Julia and realize you don?t have to be unhealthily skinny to have an amazing career.

Yesterday, following Julia Robert’s rude red carpet behavior, Kaiser commented that she thinks Julia has gone a little off her game. Julia certainly seems to be full of opinions, and here’s a few of her views on paparazzi (she has a lot to say about them) and child stars from an interview she did with Moviefone.
She’s not exactly Paparazzi Superfan No. 1.
Sorry, paps, but Julia just doesn’t find those sneaky snapshots of celebs taking their kids to school or picking up their dog’s poo all that fascinating. “It’s so insidious and pointless,” she says of the paparazzi’s relentless pursuit to capture the excruciating minutiae of stars’ lives. “I think that takes away from getting to have this special moment where you go and see someone in a movie. That magic gets diluted because you see these people every hour, every day in something that’s bound together and called a publication … If I could avoid it altogether I would, but I also love my job. And [in] a situation like this where there’s a movie I really enjoyed making, I am happy to talk about it. I just think it’d be nice if there were some clearer divisions of what people think is interesting.”
Julia Roberts does not get to decide what is interesting. The people buying and selling the pictures do. I do get what she’s saying about how the magic is being lost, I’ll never go see another Tom Cruise Film because all I can think is ‘Xenu!’ But with her next comment, she lost me completely.
She refuses to read the gossip rags.
Julia may be a fixture on the pages of the tabloids, but they’re certainly not bathroom reading material in the Roberts-Moder household. “I’m not a consumer. I used to be. It got kind of so sickening.” How sickening? “It’s like eating a giant cheeseburger, and halfway through you’re like: ‘What the f*** am I doing?! This is gonna make me sick.’” That said, she’s all for a classy photo shoot in a respectable magazine. “I, like anyone, like to see a nice picture of Clive in a magazine, but I don’t need to see a picture of Clive in his boxer shorts taking out his garbage. I think that’s where people think they want so much coverage. They think they want those private moments stolen away. But they don’t really because it does make you sick and you do end up looking at it and thinking: ‘I really shouldn’t be seeing this. I really shouldn’t be voting on the popularity of who has the cutest baby. Doesn’t that make me kind of a small person?’ So, I think that we just need some relief and some re-programming.” And some pants to wear while taking out the garbage.
We really, really need to see Clive taking out his garbage in his boxer shorts and no shirt. These pictures as yet do not exist, but if this could be made to happen I’ll appreciate it enough to cover myself and Julia. Julia is wrong - seeing Clive in his boxer shorts would only add to his magic.
I also suspect Julia’s babies regularly lose to Suri and Shiloh in the cutest baby stakes. All babies are cute though, and Julia’s are no exception.
Julia also says that she doesn’t give her niece Emma Roberts career advice:
Julia and niece Emma Roberts never talk shop.
Eighteen-year-old Emma Roberts is quickly climbing the Hollywood ranks, thanks to starring roles in ‘Aquamarine,’ ‘Nancy Drew’ and ‘Hotel for Dogs,’ but it doesn’t sound like she’s being coached by her Aunt Julia. “I don’t really give Emma any advice about show business,” Roberts confesses. “You know, our conversations tend to be on a more personal family level.” As for her own kids, Julia’s in no rush to have them join the family biz.: “My first instinct is that I would prefer if my children wanted to be artists that they wait, you know, that they just wait — as long as they can.”
Is Julia making a catty comment directed at her niece’s parents? Emma Roberts began her acting career in an R-rated film called Blow, and she’s been a less successful version of Miley Cyrus, appearing on a Nickelodeon TV show and releasing an album. Is she suggesting they should have held her back like she’ll do for her kids? Because if you hold back your children they can’t always compete. A world class athlete or dancer, for example, needs to start young to be competitive. This applies in pop music and acting too, although they could begin out of the public eye with lessons.
Julia’s recent videos of her taking the paparazzi to task and general unpleasant attitude have really begun to affect her image as America’s Sweetheart. Perhaps she’s just lost her touch in dealing with the media, but while promoting this comeback film she’s bagged mother/actresses for being nude in films, plastic surgery and her marriage. I suspect Julia dislikes the paparazzi and more intrusive media not so much because they follow her around, but more because many of the stories about her over the years are less than flattering to her happy go lucky, nice southern girl image. Her husband was married to someone else when they started dating, she’s often reported as being a diva on set, and no where near as nice as she appears in interviews. She says she hates the tabloid interest in her family, but still showed pictures of her children on Oprah, and her twins were featured on the cover of People (I’m unsure if she was paid for this). Julia is obviously trying hard to find a balance between public and private in a career where the role of the media has changed dramatically in her time.

Holy hell. All sorts of stuff was going down at Monday?s Duplicity premiere in New York. Fox News has a piece up by Roger Friedman, who is a general film/theatre/television critic. He?s pretty good, and usually his reviews and pieces are very fair. I?m saying that I totally believe his version of events, so here goes.
Last night, Julia was walking the red carpet, talking to reporters, doing her job, basically. When she got to Friedman, Julia?s pleasant demeanor turned to stone. In Friedman?s words, Julia was ?rude, downright nasty, and dismissive… her behavior was unexpected and chilling.? First, this is sort of devastating to Julia Roberts, calling her out for some extraordinarily bad behavior. Second, maybe she had a good reason? Here?s the first part of Friedman?s piece:
Is it important for entertainment journalists to write nice things about movie stars? Do they even read their own press? Or are they so much in their own world that they just let their publicists tell them what?s going on in the world.
[Julia Roberts]… mother now of three kids, she probably doesn?t have the time to read anything. She certainly doesn?t read this column. When she saw me last night at the premiere of her sleek new thriller, ?Duplicity,? Roberts didn?t hesitate to cut me dead. She was rude, downright nasty, and dismissive. She snubbed me in front of other people to make her point, and later cut in between me and director Tony Gilroy to make her point. Her behavior was unexpected and chilling.
So what was the problem? Her officious publicist, Marcy Engelman, said: ?She knows you broke the embargo on her play and wrote bad things about her.?
Indeed, a top agent at the party said, ?Julia said, ‘that?s the man who writes bad things about me.’?
Wait: you?re thinking, even if that were true, would a gracious person do such a thing in public? That?s something to consider.
In any case, another producer, a long time friend of Julia?s, then proceeded to tell me she?d absolutely remembered me writing something terrible about Roberts. ?I know you did,? she said.
[From Fox News]
Oh, so what did he do to get The Wrath of Julia? In her mind, Friedman had written something horrible about her performance in ?Three Days of Rain?, the play she did in the spring of 2006. What a long memory. But what terrible things did Friedman write about America?s Sweetheart?
For the record: When Roberts was a week away from opening in ?Three Days of Rain? on Broadway in April 2006, she was getting terrible advance buzz in the local newspapers. The gossip snipes said she looked bad, and couldn?t act. As an ardent fan of Roberts, I thought I?d go over and see what was happening. After mentioning the enthusiastic audience and the celebrities who?d already come to see her, I wrote:
?As for Julia: She was very good on Saturday afternoon. We heard her clearly in the last row. She has a strong stage presence and I suspect it will just get better and better as she warms up for opening night. She is funny and charming when appropriate, somber and grim with conviction too. She has all her lines digested and you cannot take your eyes off of her. She actually injects some life into that first-act character with some real Roberts sarcasm. It’s most welcome. In the second act, though, she combines her best riffs from her performances in “Steel Magnolias” and “Ready to Wear,” among others.?
?And she does not look thin, gaunt or unhappy. Quite to the contrary, she has a supple energy. Our audience went wild for her, with a standing ovation and cheering. So there.
As our Usher said, she’s already very good and by opening night, pow!?
?So retract those claws, kitties. And get ready. No, she’s not Cherry Jones or Phylicia Rashad ? yet. But she’s a movie star and can act circles around anyone, and she’s going to be a sensation in the papers on the morning of April 20.?
?My guess is this will open the door for her to alternate doing plays and movies, and that can only be a good thing.?
This may be the ultimate example of ?a good turn will not go unpunished.?
Most reviewers, in fact, did not care for Roberts when the play opened. She got creamed by the regular theater critics. The morning after opening night I wrote:
?If anything, she seemed more relaxed on stage this time around, and significantly improved. It will be interesting to go see her at the end of the run in June … When Roberts returns to Broadway in a couple of years ? which she will undoubtedly do ? I hope it?s in a romantic comedy or a farce where she can show off her real talents.?
I did think Roberts was brave to take on Broadway. And the fact is, the material was not suited to her. In the end, it may have been the same case that plagues many Hollywood stars who want to jump into the deep end on Broadway before learning to swim. Sometimes it?s better to do what Katie Holmes did in ?All My Sons? this last year, and take a secondary role.
In any case, I wouldn?t have thought that what I wrote about Roberts in her play could have justified the scene at last night?s party. It was not pretty, and it was meant to be devastating. Her associates said, ?This is what she was told.? And that?s even worse: to think that most people in Hollywood start many conversations with these words: ?I was told you wrote (blank).?
Maybe it?s time to start getting better information… My advice to Julia: get a new publicist, and a clipping service.
[From Fox News]
Jesus. If Julia Roberts has any kind conscience, she needs to send this guy a muffin basket or something. Even if she was totally in the dark about what Friedman actually wrote, and she was being told by her people that ?Oh, he?s just written horrible things about you? it?s still not an excuse. If you don?t want to talk to someone who writes bad things about you, don?t do it. There?s no reason to act like such an a–hole. Julia?s been at this for more than two decades. Methinks she?s just off her game.
Here?s Julia at the New York City ‘Duplicity’ premiere at the Ziegfeld theatre last night. Images thanks to WENN.com.
