Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts if returning to the screen as a leading lady in "Duplicity," out next month and costarring Clive Owen. She talked to March's Allure about her marriage to Danny Moder and the joys of being a mother to her three kids, four-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and younger son Henry, almost two.

"I will never be bored again," Roberts tells the magazine. "Danny and I talk about, 'What did we do with all the time we must have had?' Because you don't recognize it as such, until you have all these little ... time thieves running around your house."

See an Allure slideshow of the actress here

On the key to beauty:

The key to beauty is always to be looking at someone who loves you, really. One of my favorite things about my children right now, even Henry, who can't say all the words...sometimes he'll see me and go, "Ma-ma!" and throw himself on me. Or Finn says he likes my earrings. Or Hazel will say, "You look pretty, Mama," first thing in the morning. And I realize, that's all my husband. They're seeing the things that he does and the way that he shares his feelings with me, and the way that I share my feelings with him. The coolest thing you can do for your children is to love each other in their presence.

She also talked about getting pranked by Brad Pitt and George Clooney on the "Ocean's" movies.

"I also went to my hotel-room door one morning, and there was an overwhelming smell of something clean and fresh; they had shaving-creamed my door. It wouldn't open, because they had taken two huge potted trees and put them outside, trying to make me late for work.

And she said her dream dinner party guests are the Obamas.

Read the whole interview in Allure. "Duplicity" opens in March.

Look, Julia Roberts is very attractive, very photogenic, with a huge personality....I'll give her that...but I don't believe she's a good actress. The real actor is the family is her brother Eric Roberts; you may not have heard of him because he doesn't kiss Oprah's ass or anyone's ass for that matter, but he's the real deal. As for Julia's comments about family life, she lifted almost word for word what Michelle Obama said weeks ago in an interview about the love between spouses and its effects on the children. Julia's current husband left his wife for Julia, while his wife was pregant; Julia ultimately paid the wife off.

"Look, Julia Roberts is very attractive,"

If we're comparing with Courtney Love, maybe. Otherwise, no.

Angelina Jolie gets dogged because she got involved with Brad Pitt when he was married. How come no one seems to care that Danny Moder was married when he got involved with Julia Roberts? Why the double standard?

Because Angelina is remotely relevant as an actress and activist and Julia's only passion is herself?

So, nobody really cares about Julia anymore. so no one cares that she's just as much an adulteress as they accuse AJ of being?

Just pondering the possibilities.

Please don't even compare Julia's situation to Angelina's. Julia's man left his wife and his kid for her. He's the worst kind of man.

Julia, I can't believe Brad and George pulled the same prank on you. They love that shaving cream. Those rascals. I heard they once gave Angelina a surprise Brazilian, while she was sleeping.

She's pretty, she's not model hot like most "actresses" nowadays. I thought she was pretty impressive back around Pretty Woman. Now, my only knock on her is her walk. She has the grace of a lumberjack.

Graceful, she's not. She's pretty articulate in interiviews.

She is just plain overbearing and the biggest b*lls*itter in show biz. I rememember seeing her face on every magazine in the world and kept thinking how can anyone think this woman is beautiful. As far as I am concerned, her best movie was Flatliners.

I thought Julia Roberts was a great beauty during the 90s, but now I realize I thought that because she was relentlessly pushed down her throats, as someone else pointed out. When she removed herself from the spotlight for a few years, I found I did not miss her at all.

It is amazing the number of people on here who just rag on her as a person... such resentment to her fame and money. So pathetic

Like Julia or not, I have to respect the fact that she moved her family out of Los Angeles and away from paparazzi. I have no tolerance for "stars" that constantly complain about the paparazzi while they invite them into their lives. If people like Britney really valued their families and their privacy, they would not be glued to PaparazziWonderland like they are.

This woman has the ultimate and quintessential ego. Whenever she is interviewed her mouth opens like a vacuum cleaner and sucks it all in. Everything is always about her. I find her quite intolerable.

I hate to be a killjoy but she is not running for office. When they interview her, it's because it really is about her. No one wants to hear about her opinion on Rwanda. They want to hear about HER.
She is giving the magazines and their readers what they want. Hence- success.
Ask yourself why you bother to read anything about her and then proceed to take the time to bash her.
Posts like yours says much more about you than Julia Roberts.

She is one lucky woman to be able to get away with the "beautiful" scam all these years....and she got filthy rich to boot. This kind of photography is part of the trickery.... a hazy focus, a far away object,.... talk the "Pretty Woman" baloney...... We know how it works, but we've seen the closeups and know she's kinda ugly in fact.

She's got a head full of hair, a super wide mouth, an unpleasant twang and a lanky, ungraceful walk.
Where's the beauty?? It barely worked when she was young -- DEFINITELY does not work now with her kind of mileage mileage. Her new breast implants are not bad though.

This picture is part of the trickery....hazy focus, far away object.....we still know she's kinda ugly.

You are being kind. She is very ugly. I have never been able to stomach her, especially in roles where she is supposed to be the Beauty such as in Notting Hill and Runaway Bride. I found her appearance particularly laughable in Erin Brokovitch when she wore the push up bras and short skirts. She has been extreeeeeeeeemely lucky her entire career.

There a lot more celebrities deserving of your venom than Julia. Why don't you go dump on Paris Hilton or Jennifer Lopez instead?

I am not a massive fan of her rom-coms, but she's pretty and charismatic. Charisma is at least as important as beauty in these sorts of movies.

total bullsh*t; i saw her in person during the filming of one of her movies over the course of a few days in NYC. she is stunning. and she was dressed way down during off hours. her smile lit up the entire room. that being said, i might add i am not a fan of her acting abilities; but she sure has the look the camera loves; she is lovely.

The only thing wrong with her hair is that she caved to the blonde stupidity and does not have her beautiful brunette hair anymore.

What woman -doesn't- want a "head full" [sic] of hair?
