Julia Roberts Muses on Fame in Vanity Fair
Julia Roberts is perhaps one of the most recognizable women in the world. She talks about how she comes to grips with that in the new issue of Vanity Fair.
The Mirror, Mirror actress and mom to twins Hazel and Finn, 7, and son Henry, 4, says her children with husband Danny Moder have no concept of fame.
"On a crowded street, and somebody noticed me, and then another person noticed. Somebody said as we were walking past, 'Oh, that's Julia Roberts.'"
"We all just kind of kept going, and then Finn turned around and said, 'Yeah, my mom's Julia Robinson,'" she said. "That's what gives you perspective."
It could be Robinson, it could be Johnson, because it has nothing to do with me as a person," says the Oscar-winner, who gained some perspective herself.
Curious about what life is like for children born into famous families, Roberts talked to her Larry Crowne costar Grace Gummer, daughter of Meryl Streep.
"Grace comes up and goes, 'Gosh, it's so sweet seeing all your kids on the set. It reminds me of when I was little, and I would go see my mom at work.'"
"I asked, 'Were you happy?' Suddenly, I thought, here is a source of information."
"I said, 'How old were you when you realized your mom was Meryl Streep?' She said, 'I think I was probably nine when I put that all together.'"
Who Would You Rather: Evil Queen Edition!
Mirror, mirror on the movie wall, who is the fairest of them all?
That's what we wanna know!
In the first half of 2012, two separate Snow White films will hit theaters, with the first, more light-hearted version starring Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen (watch the trailer HERE) and the second, darker version featuring Charlize Theron in this same role (watch this trailer NOW).
They are two Hollywood heavyweights. They are two beautiful women. And they are both featured below, as we ask readers to decide: from which royal madam would you prefer to take orders... in the bedroom!? Vote now.
Julia Roberts as The Evil Queen in Upcoming Snow White Film: First Look!
We never thought we'd say this, but America's Sweetheart is turning evil.
Julia Roberts takes on the role of the queen - who is not a nice person - in 2012's new Snow White film, one that puts a darker twist on the beloved fairy tale.
Lily Collins plays Snow White. Here's a shot of both of the actresses ...
Of Roberts, Collins says: "Everybody knows Julia's smile and the sound of her laugh, and she really takes advantage of it and uses it in a different way for her version of the Evil Queen. She used her magic and smile and laugh in a creepy way."
The still-untitled Roberts-Collins-Armie Hammer film is not to be confused with Kristen Stewart's Snow White and the Huntsman, which is also scheduled for a 2012 release.

Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks Play The Newlywed Game
Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks should really star in every movie together.
Aside from their talent, the mega-stars have incredible chemistry together, on-screen and off-screen. Last night, in order to promote Larry Crowne, the duo appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman.
But they did more than just chat. They played The Newlywed Game! Does Julia know Tom's middle name, or his favorite Julia Roberts film? Watch and find out now!
Julia Roberts Made $1.5 Million for This
Don't get us wrong. We love our jobs, delivering the latest in celebrity gossip, debating such ethical dilemmas as whether or not Lindsay Lohan should appear on Dancing with the Stars.
It's a good life.
But sometimes we wish were an A-list actress. That way, we could be like Julia Roberts and get paid $1.5 million for a 45-second commercial that doesn't involve a single line on our part. Case in point, the following Lavazza ad:
Who is the Best Mother in Hollywood?
We apologize for being a day late with this post, but can you blame us? We spent yesterday with our wives and mothers.
Those loving experiences caused us to wonder: Who is the best mom in Hollywood?
Many female celebrities are role models, spending time away from the camera with their kids; others exploit their children as money-making props. Below, we examine a few candidates for top mom and ask readers to chime in...
Julia Roberts: Has only starred in two movies (Duplicity and Charlie Wilson's War) in five years. The reason? Three kids under the age of six.
Brooke Mueller: Hey, she's smart enough to remove her children from the abusive home of Charlie Sheen.
Kate Gosselin: JUST KIDDING!
Jessica Alba: Often seen out with daughter Honor, and wants to expand her family via adoption.
Kourtney Kardashian: Is willing to continually lose and regain her bikini body just to cash in on support son Mason.
Dina Lohan: Will lose points when if Lindsay dies from alcohol poisoning or Ali stars in a sex tape.
Did we leave off your favorite mother? Vote below on the candidates for Best Mom in Hollywood:

Who Would You Rather: Cougar Edition!
Julia Roberts and Kelly Ripa each have three children.
But you'd never know it, based on how these older beauties look in a bikini!
While many readers had to bathe for hours after merely contemplating sex with Aubrey O'Day or Tila Tequila in our previous edition of Who Would You Rather, this installment is kid-friendly.
Compare the bodies of Roberts and Ripa below. Let us know which you'd prefer to wake up next to in the morning (after having had intercourse with her the night before, that is)...

Julia Roberts Nude Scenes: Never Gonna Happen
Last week, we learned the disappointing news that we will no longer see Brad Pitt nude on screen. The actor takes his role model status seriously.
On a similar note, fans better enjoy Julia Roberts in a bathing suit in her upcoming movie, Charlie Wilson's War, because that's as close to nude as she's gonna get!
There's a reason why we don't see Roberts naked or even running around in bathing suits in movies, the 40-year-old actress tells E! "It's just not my thing."
Julia Roberts nude scenes: Not her thing and not gonna happen.
We know what you are thinking. You saw Julia Roberts nude in Pretty Woman. Sorry, you're wrong. She used a body double to shoot nude scenes even then!
The mother of three, who welcomed her youngest son, Henry, in June, has always closely guarded her private life with her husband, Danny Moder.
There's certainly nothing wrong with her desire to keep her clothes on at work, either - despite how enjoyable seeing Julia Roberts naked might be.
Julia Roberts Gives Birth to Henry Daniel Moder
Julia Roberts is showing other celebrities just how this baby thing is done.
While Kate Walsh and Holly Madison are merely rumored to be pregnant, this gorgeous actress is popping out kids left and right.
Earlier today, Roberts welcomed her third child, a boy named Henry Daniel Moder.
He was born in Los Angeles and weighed 8½ lbs. As Henry joins twins Hazel and Phinnaeus in the Moder clan, Julia's rep, Marcy Engleman, says everyone "is doing great."
And we're thrilled to hear that. Too many stars these days receive attention for dressing and acting like idiots (hi, Britney Spears) or posing nude at all costs (put on some clothing, Katie Price).
It's great to see a class act such as Roberts simply live a happy, normal life.
