Julia Roberts Reportedly Hires 350 Bodyguards For Trip To India
Posted on 24. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Julia Roberts has ticked off Hindu villagers after her diva decision to recruit 350 guards, bulletproof cars and a helicopter to accompany her on her trip to India.
The Oscar-winning actress, husband Danny Moder, and the couple’s three children, four-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and son Henry, two, are staying in the town of Pataudi, near the capital Delhi, while Julia shoots new film Eat, Pray, Love.
Julia and Danny are so worried about their family’s safety they’ve adopted an extreme security regime, employing hundreds of bodyguards, including police officers and snipers, to protect themselves, The Sun reported Wednesday.
“Nobody can breach the cover. We have strict instructions,” a police officer reportedly told the tabloid.
The family is transported everywhere in bulletproof cars and helicopters patrol the skies 24 hours a day, enraging local residents, who have been banned from attending a Hindu temple while Julia is in town.
The restrictions are particularly upsetting for locals as September is one of the holiest months in the Hindu calendar.
One worshipper said: “It’s the holiest time of the year and we must not be stopped from visiting our own temple.”

Jame Franco Smitten With Current Co-Star Julia Roberts
Posted on 06. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
At 41, Julia Roberts is reaping the benefits of becoming a full-fledged cougar after casting a spell on her screen hunk James Franco — who is ten years her junior.
The pair play lovers in the upcoming film Eat, Pray, Love and set tattles claim their script chemistry is manifesting itself in real life.
“James has a massive crush on Julia, and she’s lapping up all the attention,” a spywitness reveals in the Sept.7 issue of Globe. “They’re always laughing and smiling when they’re together and sharing private jokes.”
The Pretty Woman star and Franco, an aspiring writer, have reportedly become inseparable between takes, with the Spider-Man actor adopting the role of eyes, ears, and hand when the cameras aren’t rolling.
“Julia doesn’t need a personal assistant because James is always running off to fetch her bottle of water or cup of coffee and asking if there’s anything she needs.”
Julia has a history of falling for her co-stars; the actress dated Dylan McDermott and Kiefer Sutherland after sharing the screen with the actors.
“James can’t stop bragging about how he gets to make out with Julia nearly every day,” the insider continues. “They even shot a steamy nude sex scene, which rocked his world! He keeps saying if only she was single…..”
Julia — a mother of three — has been married to hubby Danny Moder for seven years.

Julia Roberts 'Allure' March 2009 Cover Photo
Posted on 17. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
It’s been a while since we have seen Julia grace the cover of a style magazine! Julia looks absolutely radiant on the March cover of Allure!
Julia is promoting her upcoming spy thriller Duplicity in which she stars alongside hunky Clive Owen.
Check out some of her interview with Allure below:
Julia Roberts’ Dream Dinner Party Guest list: President Obama and his family, ABC anchor Diane Sawyer, Mike Nichols, Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham, and Emmy-winning comedienne Tina Fey.
Julia Roberts on Motherhood: “I think it should be against the law to take a picture of a celebrity’s child,” says the fiercely protective mother of three. “Fortunately, it’s a rare occurrence for us. My husband and I are very protective of our children. We go out of our way to shelter them from the paparazzi and to still live a normal life.”
Julia has famously been video taped reaming into the paparazzi following her children around their school- I think it’s really commendable the protection she is trying to give them. And I couldn’t agree more when I see the video’s, she has every right to get in their face and get them to back off- paparazzi have no business at children’s schools!
It was just announced recently that Julia has signed on to play Georgia Walker in The Friday Night Knitting Club, set to release later in 2010.

Clive Owen Talks About Sexy Spy Thrillers.
Posted on 14. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
Clive Owen could be reading the phone book and it would be sexy. But for him to actually star in a film that he calls a “sexy, savvy, banter movie” – be still, my heart. Seriously, his voice is the best part of an already perfect package. Anyway, Clive answered some questions from The Los Angeles Times via e-mail about his two upcoming spy films. First up is The International, co-starring Naomi Watts. After that is Duplicity, playing against his Closer co-star Julia Roberts.
Clive Owen, who hasn’t been seen on the big screen since his supporting turn as Sir Walter Raleigh in 2007’s “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” comes back strong with two lead roles — both in spy thrillers, though with very distinct tones — early this year.
First is “The International,” opening Feb. 13. Directed by Tom Tykwer (”Run Lola Run”) and set in various European locales, the film casts the British actor as a relentless Interpol agent who teams with a savvy Manhattan district attorney (Naomi Watts) to bring down a powerful world bank involved in illegal arms trading.
Written and directed by Tony Gilroy (”Michael Clayton), “Duplicity” arrives in theaters next — on March 20 — and finds Owen with Julia Roberts playing corporate spies with a romantic past involved in a race to corner the market on a medical discovery. Owen recently spoke about his two projects in an e-mail interview.
Q: Tom Tykwer is so adept at big action sequences. What was that like as an actor?
I’m a big fan of Tom’s work. He’s up there as one of the very best directors I have worked with. He seems to have a grasp of all aspects of filmmaking; I trust him implicitly.Q: Though it has a very contemporary story line, “The International” has that feel of those great spy thrillers of the 1960s that are set throughout Europe.
The locations play a very big part in the experience of this movie. My character literally travels the world in pursuit of bringing down one of the world’s biggest banks, and each location is hugely atmospheric.
Q: The lengthy shoot sequence set at the Guggenheim Museum in New York is absolutely dazzling but must have been extremely arduous to shoot.
It took a long time and a lot of preparation. It’s a very good example of how talented Tom is as a director. It’s an ever-developing, exquisitely realized action sequence in an iconic New York museum. I think this sequence will be talked about for many years.
Q: You and Armin Mueller-Stahl, who plays a member of the powerful bank, have some crackling scenes together, especially the intense interrogation sequence. Did you rehearse?
Rehearsals were more about understanding the scenes than playing them. You have to be careful rehearsing for movies— if you over-rehearse you can kill a scene by getting overly familiar with it.
Q: How is “Duplicity” different in style and tone than “The International”?
“Duplicity” is a very different kind of movie. It’s a very sexy, savvy, banter movie with fantastic dialogue — some of the best I’ve been given on film. I thought “Michael Clayton” was an astonishing debut for Tony — so smart and assured. And “Duplicity” is one of the best scripts I’ve read in a very long time. The two films have a couple of things in common — great scripts and brilliant directors.
-From Los Angeles Times
Both films looks really good, and Clive Owen looks really good in them.
