Julia Roberts: Forty and Fabulous as Ever

by Natasha Burton

In the latest issue of Vanity Fair, Julia Roberts talks about the starring role she plans to have for the rest of her life: "a highly fulfilled and productive stay-at-home mom and wife.? With three adorable kids, Phinnaeus, 2, Hazel, 2, and Henry, four months, and hubby Danny Moder, Julia says, at 40, she couldn't ask for more.

She tells the magazine that marrying Danny was "the most correct decision I've ever made in my life--not that it was even a decision, because it just overtakes you. My whole body knew." She also says that she still wants "to look pretty for him?When [Danny] comes home, I always do this [she pinches her cheeks] so I'll look pretty." As for adding to her brood, Julia says she doesn't think she wants more children. "At this point I'm having so much fun with them. You only have so much energy and you want to put so much energy into each child. I wouldn't know how to have five kids. And they're a really good trio, these three," she said.

Besides sharing her family life, Julia also weighed in on the changes in celebrity journalism today, namely tabloids, saying, ??I think it's just grotesque. It's like a circus sideshow. I don't know why anybody would even want to go into show business these days?it just wouldn't be worth it.? Who better to comment on this issue than world's best-loved actress? Julia mentions one celeb in particular that seems to be lost in the sea of media frenzy??Britney. "I see and hear what's happening to Britney Spears and it's all I can do not to move her into my guest-house and say, 'OK, this is how it's going to be!' And just take care of her." If I were Brit, I would take her up on her offer. With a husband she is excited to look pretty for and three kids she adores, Julia Roberts is happily putting her career and celebrity life aside after years of being in the spotlight. She is a role model for all young celebs, those who might be getting swept up in their own fame.
