“No one wants to see an old hooker. Do they?”
Julia Roberts, when asked on Monday about the possibility of doing a Pretty Woman sequel.
Of course they do, Julia. Denise Richards’ reality show got picked up for a second season, didn’t it?
Julia makes a rare public appearance at the screening of Charlie Wilon’s War.
This is a woman who’s really managed to age gracefully.
I’d be remiss in my duties if I didn’t mention that she’s put on some weight — and, look, before you guys get all mad at me in the comments, let me say that Julia Roberts weighs less than I do, but this is a gossip blog and she’s a celebrity and this is America and we care about these things here even if we’re not always willing to admit it and if anyone walked into a casting agency for the first time at that weight they’d tell them to come back 15 pounds lighter, and I’d feel like I didn’t deserve my paycheck if I didn’t point that out.
And if you all wanna cuss me out in the comments for saying that, fine, let’s do that, because I think an open conversation about female body standards in this country is crucial, and I’m just going to go ahead and say what everyone else is thinking so at least it’s out there and we can talk about it. So go.
That said, she still looks stunning. Julia Roberts will look stunning when she’s 85, and I hope to look one-tenth as good as she does when I’m her age and a mother.
(But she’s put on weight.)
Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder welcomed a new addition to their family early Monday morning, son Henry Daniel Moder. The baby was born at Cedars Sinai in L.A., and weighs 8½ lbs. “The Moder family is doing great,” said Roberts’ rep. Little Henry is Julia and Danny’s third child; twin sons Hazel and Phinnaeus will turn 2 in November.
While Roberts has pulled back from her uber-successful acting career lately in order to focus on raising a family, her niece is just getting started. Sixteen-year-old Emma Roberts plays the title role in Nancy Drew, which hit theaters last Friday. Finding your break-out role in a brilliant, beautiful teenage sleuth is commendable, Emma, but it’s no hooker with a heart of gold.
Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan are always griping about how they wish the paparazzi would leave them alone (Paris doesn’t usually bother to lie about it), all the while hitting up every L.A. shindig at which there’s even a remote chance there’ll be a camera. Julia Roberts, on the other hand, actually meant it: she married, had two babies and moved to a ranch in New Mexico, where, if she is getting rip-roaring drunk and not wearing underwear, she’s at least doing it inside. As a consequence, we don’t hear much from Ms. Roberts, who most recently voiced the titular spider of Charlotte’s Web, in the gossip world, and it’s always a treat when we do.
Page Six is reporting that Julia, 39, and husband Danny Moder, 37, are expecting a third child sometime next summer. They already have twins, Phinnaeus Walter and Hazel Patricia, to whom Julia gave birth in November 2004, after a difficult pregnancy with mandated bed rest. Hopefully this one will go smoother for Jules. Congratulations to the happy family!

Going through Page Six this morning I realized that they have a feature called the “Celebrity Star Map”. Now click on this link and you can run your mouse over a map of Manhattan and see where various celebrities have been spotted doing various noteworthy things. If you are a local New Yorker, you too can have your star sighting posted on the internet. Their site is a bit sad, with only three sightings which include Jacob the Jeweler, Dr. Ruth, and Julia Roberts.
This sounds quite similar to something that Gawker instituted a few months ago except that Gawker’s is quite cool, and quite popular. They have twenty-five sightings including Anne Hathaway (talking about how fat her fellow actresses were…um, honey you aren’t exactly Nicole Richie), Parker Posey (evidently being a bitch but I love her anyway) and Anderson Cooper (who could also be my boyfriend if he wasn’t playing for the other team).
So really Page Six, I know you are trying to jump on the bandwagon but Gawker is kicking your booty.
