For one amazing night, the Toronto International Film Festival became the Julia Roberts Film Festival in Julia-ville, in the great province of JuliaRo in the great country of JULIA. Yes, last night was the TIFF premiere of August: Osage County, better known as ?Julia Roberts Demands The Academy Give Her Another Oscar.? Meryl Streep is in the film too, but Meryl didn?t come to TIFF to promote the film and word is that Meryl has already dropped out of the Best-Actress race, choosing to put herself up for Supporting Actress. Which is all a complicated way of saying that last night was ALL ABOUT JULIA.
Julia wore this red Dolce & Gabbana mini-dress. I would have liked to see this look with fitted sleeves, just because I think this wider sleeves don?t balance out the dress properly. But I do like the pattern and the color. It?s a cute dress. Maybe not for a 45 year old woman, but still. Cute.
And if you really need to see other people ? why would you when JULIA is here? ? I?m including photos of Ewan Mcgregor (looking hot), Dermott Mulroney (not so hot), Abigail Breslin (um?), and Juliette Lewis looking the best I?ve seen her look in a long time ? her dress is Naeem Khan. Gorgeous.

Turns out Julia Roberts was kind of a bitch to her fat sister. She used to judge her for her weight and not the quality of the donut underneath. Wait, that was insensitive. Albeit, deliciously so.
?When you?re in a family of very, very exceptionally beautiful people it?s intimidating,? said Nancy in an exclusive interview with The Sun. ?I think that growing up as Pretty Woman?s little sister has definitely made me try to see the person inside and not the person outside. A lot of my life I felt judged for my weight.?
The 37-year-old reached 20 stone at her heaviest and Nancy said she always felt like an embarrassment to Julia, 45, because of her weight. After spending 20,000 on a gastric bypass surgery in June 2012, which was financed by a loan that Nancy had to take out and a little help from her mother, she is now down to 11 stone.
20 stone is equivalent to 280 pounds (thank you Google) so, yea, you could say Nancy was a tad overweight but taking out a loan to get a quick fix is usually not the best idea. It’s like putting a Band-aid on a busted water main.
Nancy who grew up with the family in Smyrna, near Atlanta, Georgia wanted to be a movie star like Julia and her other siblings, Eric Roberts and Lisa Roberts Gillan, but claimed to have got no help from her famous sister. Julia was remembered as being pretty and popular at school before moving to New York at 18-years-old for acting classes, and in 1989 was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Steel Magnolias.
She then picked up the iconic role as prostitute Vivian in Pretty Woman, which 13-year-old Nancy was bullied for at school. According to Nancy, Julia would constantly tell her how overweight she was, and did not want her to follow down the path to Hollywood because of her size.
If Julia didn’t want her sister following her to Hollywood, she could have just ran. No way Nancy would be able to keep up.
Nevertheless she still went to auditions, and did a few waitressing jobs before the cost of living got too high and she returned to Georgia to focus on theatre. But in 2009 their mum Betty had a heart attack, they pair have different fathers, and Julia moved Betty to LA to be closer to her and her grandchildren.
Nancy then moved West too after sparking up a relationship with John Dilbeck who was from LA. Nancy claims Julia commented on her size even continued after her moved to LA in 2010, and Julia made a jibe on the week she arrived whilst she was struggling to unpack her bags. She even suspected she saw Julia making comments about her size at her birthday party.
That’s cold. Confirmed asshole Julia Roberts.
But Nancy suffered from depression and would often comfort eat, namely fast food such as burgers and chocolate milkshakes.
Despite everything she hoped to rekindle her relationship with the Pretty Woman star, as she feels better about herself having lost seven stone and John recently proposing to her on the set of Glee, where she secured a job as a production assistant thanks to her sister?s contacts.
But she is still not sure if Julia will attend her wedding next May, and referred to it as a ?work in progress,? but remains certain in her heart that they family all love each other.
I actually never got why people thought Julia Roberts was pretty so now I feel a little less like a terrible person for making fun of her horse mouth. Random thought: when Sarah Jessica Parker and Julia Roberts meet, do you think they just communicate by neighing?

Taking her role of mother seriously, Julia Roberts chaperoned her son Henry?s school field trip on Friday (May 24) in Los Angeles.
With a colorful bag on her shoulder, the ?Mirror, Mirror? actress held hands with Henry and corralled his classmates as the group toured the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History.
In career news, the famous red head?s latest film, the not-yet-released ?August: Osage County,? is already receiving Oscar 2014 buzz.
The dramatic comedy, which also stars Meryl Streep, follows the strong-willed women of the Weston family when they are reunited by a family crisis.
Spearheaded by John Wells, ?August: Osage County? arrives in theaters on November 8.

There are some celebrities that would probably make a really great sister — such as Jennifer Lawrence, Mindy Kaling, or Jennifer Garner — and many more who would be positively insufferable to share parents with. I’d dislike it immensely if Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, or January Jones (even though I love her hair) was my sister.
Also on the bad list? Julia Roberts.
It was only a few years ago when the Enquirer reported that Julia made rude and obnoxious comments about her sister’s weight, and it was said that she was “disgusted” by Nancy’s appearance to such a degree that she was rolling her eyes and making terrible comments behind Nancy’s back. At the time of that story, it was said that Nancy was so upset that she wasn’t speaking to Julia at all, but I guess they made up in time for Nancy to invite Julia to be a bridesmaid at her upcoming weekend. Julia has turned her sister down, but it actually sounds like she has a good reason. Here are the details from this week’s issue of the Enquirer:
Julia Roberts is staying away form her sister’s wedding, a source says, because she hates the groom and doesn’t want to get stuck with the bill!
Nancy Motes — the star’s younger half sister — asked her famous sibling to be a bridesmaid in her upcoming nuptuals to John Dilbeck. Julia not only said “no” — she’s even refusing to go as a guest, the source added.
“Julia doesn’t think much of Nancy’s husband-to-be,” revealed an inisder. “She’s convinced he’s sponging off Nancy, who doesn’t have that much money in the first place. They moved out to L.A. from Georgia, and John was working at a panda Extress restaurant. But he quit his job after Nancy landed a gig as a production assistant on “Glee.”
John recently made a splash by getting down on bended knee and proposing to Nancy in front of cast and crew members on the Hollywood set of the hit FOX show. Ironically, the source says it was Julia who got Nancy the job by pulling strings with show creator Ryan Murphy, who directed the 45-year-old actress in the film Eat Pray Love.
This is just the latest in a long list of battles between the sisters. In 2005, Julia exploded when she caught nancy, 37, snapping pictures of her then-newborn twins, Phinnaeus and Hazel, at the actress’ home in Taos, N.M. And in 2011, the two got into a heated fight after Julia made disparaging remarks about Nancy’s weight.
“Now Julia won’t go to her wedding because she’s worried Nancy will try to tap her for more money,” said the insider. Apparently the sisters’ mom, Betty Motes, is trying to play peacemaker and patch up the feud before Nancy walks down the aisle later this year. But the insider said: “Julia told her not to hold her breath.”
[From Enquirer, print edition, May 20, 2013]
I can’t blame Julia for not wanting to be taken advantage of to pay for Nancy’s wedding. Not only is a fancy ceremony not essential, but if Nancy’s betrothed is as much of a freeloader as this story indicates, then Julia is right to suspect that she’d be asked to open her wallet. Sure, Julia has more than enough money readily available to pay without blinking, but I firmly believe that adults should be able to pay for their own nuptuals. Parents or siblings can help out if they volunteer to do so, but a bride insisting that someone else pay for “her day” is just childish and wrong.

| | Julia Roberts & Danny Moder step out for a rare photo op together: conspiracy? | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Isn?t this bizarre? We rarely get paparazzi photos of Julia Roberts these days, and magically this weekend there are all of these photos of not just Julia, but Julia with her husband Danny Moder. And they?re holding hands and walking arm in arm and stuff. Weird! Is this some kind conspiracy pushback that I?m unaware of? I see blind items about A-list actresses and their low-key husbands all the time, and most of the guesses are always about Julia Roberts or Nicole Kidman. Has there been some kind of major ?maybe Julia?s marriage is in trouble? rumor out there, and this is the photo-op pushback? Or am I simply too much of a conspiracy theorist for my own good?
Anyway, yes, Julia and Danny were spotted in Santa Monica on Saturday. Apparently, they had lunch with friends and then went for a surprisingly pap-friendly walk around Santa Monica. What game are you playing, Julia?!?! Alternate theories: one, Julia is trying to remind people she?s still around, maybe because she wants a particular role or project. Two, Julia is about to commence on some kind of huge comeback, and these are the first steps towards easing herself back into the game. That might be it, actually? I could see Julia making an appearance at the Oscars next weekend, then following that up by signing on to some huge role, then she?s part of the big prestige picture August: Osage County, which comes out this fall/winter, and there will be an Oscar campaign for that. And then next year she has another prestigious project, The Normal Heart. So is this The Year of Julia? I wouldn?t hate it. Julia brings out strong opinions and she?s almost always a good interview, and she?s as big of a narcissist as all of the current greats ? Julia could out-narcissist Beyonce. I?m just sayin?.
Come on, Julia! Make a comeback!!
PS? I hate her outfit. Those jeans are incredibly unflattering and that whole shirt/jacket combo is terrible.

Checking some items off of her to-do list, Julia Roberts ran some errands on Tuesday (February 5) afternoon in Malibu, CA.
Cozy in a navy blue knee length coat and brown boots, the ?Notting Hill? star took a quick break to grab a salad to go before continuing on with her endeavors.
In career news, the screen legend recently finished filming her next big screen feature, ?August: Osage County,? with Ewan Mcgregor.
Expected in theaters later this year, the dramatic comedy follows a family who overcome their differences when their alcoholic patriarch goes missing.

She has been working with Lancome for over two years and it looks like Julia Roberts just gets more beautiful with time when it comes to showing off the company's products.
In the latest fragrance ad, the Academy award-winning actress looks stunning in a floor-length white dress and subtle waves in her hair as she makes her way through a crowded room where La Vie Est Belle bottles hang from the chandeliers.
This is the first fragrance campaign that Julia has done for the company, but according to Youcef Nabi, president of Lancome, she was the perfect choice, telling Women's Wear Daily, "The only person that could embody this kind of joyful femininity, this woman that could be all women at the same time - in their honesty, truth and diversity - is Julia Roberts."
As for the fragrance, the scent was devised by three French masters of perfumery, Olivier Polge, Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo. They included 63 different ingredients to make the "the first ever feminine iris" scent.
As for the 44-year-old actress, it seems that having a great perfume is an important accessory for her, telling Hello magazine, "I like to smell nice. And I think it is best when perfume is kind of there, but still draws people in. You have to get close to figure out what you're dealing with."
Roberts also added that the fragrance is subtle in its marketing, which is something she really enjoys, explaining, "The bottle is beautiful. And in this day and age when everything's about the brand and everything's got the name of the company and the person and the place stamped all over it, what I think is amazing is that there's nothing written on the bottle."
You can check out the new ad in the player below and let us know what you think!

I kind of miss Julia Roberts. I miss her movies, I miss her narcissism, I miss her star quality. I wish she would? I don?t even know. Make a string of interesting films, maybe? And then promote those films in interview after ?IT?S ALL ABOUT JULIA!? interview. She’s got two dramas in pre-production (The Normal Heart and August: Osage County), so we?ll have to wait until next year for another JULIA! publicity tour. But for some reason – ?? ? Julia gave an interview to InStyle Magazine?s September issue, and she discussed beauty tips and plastic surgery. People are leading with her ?I brush my teeth with baking soda? confession, but I think the real story might be that Julia once again denies that she?s ever been nipped and tucked:
Julia Roberts received one of her best beauty tips ever from her grandfather.
?I brush [my teeth] with baking soda,? she tells InStyle in the magazine?s September issue. ?[My grandfather] would put a big heaping mound of it on his toothbrush. He had only one cavity in his entire life.?
Because the actress is so loved for that big, sparkling smile, she?s sure to take care of it.
?Sometimes that?s all I do as far as a regimen goes,? the busy mom says of tooth brushing. ?Look, I?m happy if I have on moisturizer and ChapStick! When you?re dressing three people besides yourself, something has to fall away. I?ve learned to always have a big pair of dark sunglasses within arm?s reach before going out.?
When she does have time to primp, Roberts relies on a tip from the late makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin: ??Mascara, mascara, mascara!?? she recalls, naming Lancme?s Hypnose as a favorite. ?It just makes you look like you?ve had a good nap.?
Would she ever rely on Botox or plastic surgery for the same effect? Probably not.
?I?m pro whatever works for you,? she says of such procedures. ?For me, at this point, I?m clinging to my good genes and lots of hugs and kisses from my husband.?
[From People]
Ugh, I hate mascara. I used to wear it when I was in college, but nowadays I just hate mascara so much. Partly it?s because I wear contacts and I hate wearing any eye makeup. As for Julia?s comment on Botox and plastic surgery ? ?I?m pro whatever works for you? For me, at this point, I?m clinging to my good genes and lots of hugs and kisses from my husband.? That?s interesting. Mostly because I?ve believed for years now that Julia has had her eyes done? and maybe more. I?m glad that Julia isn?t being judgy about those who do go under the knife, but I don?t think that she?s JUST ?clinging to her good genes.?

Ever since Julia Roberts married Danny Moder and started having babies, she?s been ?on holiday? from Hollywood. Which is fine ? a little Julia goes a long way. Over the past eight years, she?s turned in some interesting performances here and there ? she was grossly miscast in Closer and Duplicity, but I actually enjoyed her in Charlie Wilson?s War (which is overall a GREAT movie that I would highly recommend). I recently tried watching Eat, Pray, Love but I kept turning it off because the film was awful, her character was a whiner and Julia was apparently the only actor in the film who got to have good lighting ? everybody else looked like hell. Julia?s last film foray was the disastrous-looking Mirror Mirror, which came and went from theaters earlier this year, making $160 million overall, most of it overseas. That?s not bad ? and probably better box office than the film really deserved. What is my point? My point is that Julia barely works these days, and when she does, it?s rarely some critical darling or huge hit. So if an out-of-work A-lister quits Hollywood, does anyone even care? Well, that?s sort of the point of this Enquirer story. Julia might ?quit? Hollywood because she wants to be a hippie in Hawaii. Who doesn?t?
Julia Roberts has gone from glamorous A-list superstar to country bumpkin at her Malibu eco-mansion ? and now friends say she?s ready to quit TinselTown altogether to run a sustainable farm in Hawaii.
Julia, 44, raises chicken and goats, using the eggs and milk to feed her family. She also grows organic lettuce, celery, squash and tomatoes, and she fig, lemon, peach, avocado and orange trees on her property.
?Julia has been into healthy eating for some time, but she got even more interested in it after deciding to lose the 10 pounds she gained while playing the Evil Queen in ?Mirror, Mirror?,? said the course. ?Julia became really fanatical about the food her family was eating ? everything had to be organic or homegrown if possible. She?s even considering moving to Hawaii where her family vacations every year, so they can live off the land, bask in the sun and surf 365 days a year.?
Julia?s Earth Mother ways aren?t limited to food. She?s banned all plastic, gets 85 percent of her home?s energy from solar panels, and she and her husband Danny Moder both drive hybrid cars.
Julia also hates using e-mail and social networks like Facebook and Twitter and won?t let her kids ? twins Hazel and Finn, 7, and Henry, 5 ? go online. She also severely limits their TV viewing time.
?She?s turning into a real hippie,? said the source. ?She really believes she?s much happier and healthier living down on the farm.?
[From The Enquirer, print edition]
I?m assuming that Julia is not out there, toiling in her fields day after day? She has a farming staff, right? And does she really grow all of that stuff on her Malibu estate? That seems less like a vegetable patch and more like? I don?t even know. And it?s all in Malibu? That?s some valuable real estate, so those are like the most precious vegetables ever. ELITIST! No, I get it. I mean, I understand how someone (rich) could say, ?Screw this Malibu mansion and exquisite Malibu farm, I?m going to go be a hippie in Hawaii and surf every day and run a sustainable farm.? Because, seriously, why not?
