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.

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.

This Is Refreshing!

Julia Roberts believes that her peers shouldn’t be too vocal about their political beliefs and affiliations. Julia told the UK edition of OK! magazine that she sometimes gets turned off by celebrities talking about politics and can find it distracting to know too much about the actors’ opinions….

Do you feel you should now be a bit more public about your views on life?
People do care what celebrities think, but it’s a such a hollow care. I’ve seen actors on TV start talking about their politics or religion, and I just think, you’re putting me off. I don’t need to know every little thing. People don’t really want to know. I’ts nice if you don’t have all those little voices in the back of your head when you’re watching somebody in a movie.

Kid Rock is another famous person who finds it off putting when celebrities talk politics. He said last week that “I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.” Rock maintains that he’s good at being a musician but is uneducated in political matters. He also says that he thinks “celebrity endorsements hurt politicians.”
