One of my favorite Hollywood actresses Julia Roberts opens up about young Hollywood, the press, children, and her career in the new Vanity Fair.

Julia on the frenzy surrounding today’s young celebrities: “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, with all of the different magazines and shows. It just wouldn’t be worth it. And it’s too fast. Before, you could build a career over years and many movies. Now it’s like you do one good movie and they throw a ton of money at you and a ton of attention at you. You’re being constructed outside of yourself before you even know who you are, and what you are, and how you want to do it, and why you want to do it.”

Julia on paparazzi taking photos of celebrities’ children: “I just feel like it’s so demeaning the way they behave, and I hate the fact that I even put any of my energy into thinking about it or being stressed about it. And really, more than anything, it just has to do with my kids. There’s no reason to take pictures of celebrities’ children other than for people to say, “Oh, they’re cute.” I think magazines shouldn’t run pictures of people’s kids. I have a problem with that. I also have a problem with the whole notion that, if I have Henry in a sling, I’m hiding him. He’s a baby and I’m carrying him around, and so’s the lady across the street. I get pissed off, because I think that it’s inhuman to chase a woman with her children.”

Julia on how celebs are just like normal people: “We’re all the same. Why can’t we get on board with this? That we’re all the same. Some have cooler jobs, some have less cool jobs, some have longer legs, some are nicer people, but we’re all the same. We’re all orbiting the same sun.”

Julia on diapers: “I use Seventh Generation [chlorine-free, nontoxic] diapers for Finn and Hazel, and then I was turned on to the [plastic-free, flushable] gDiapers. Henry’s got a gDiaper on.… I would recommend them overall. It is flushable, but you’ve got to stir that thing! If you don’t really break it all the way up, it doesn’t go all the way down.”

Julia on if her kids wanted to get into acting: “I would call Natalie Portman’s mother. Natalie is such a good actress, but she seems like such a sensible person. I asked her about it one day when we were doing Closer, and she said she only worked with people that her parents trusted, and she only worked when it didn’t impact her school. So there were definitely guidelines. No one does it that way, but they did it, so it can be done. I hope I don’t face that, though, because I think kids should be kids and childhood should be filled with … you know that smell, when your kids come in and they smell like dirt and sweat and sunshine? That’s what I hope for my kids.”

Julia on how it felt to be the first woman to earn more than $20 million [for Erin Brockovich]:“Just as good as it would if you were a man, I bet. I mean, I guess I shouldn’t belittle it like that. I should take pride in being a forerunner, even if it’s something that seems kind of stupid, like being overpaid for a great job. But I don’t really think about it. Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas was my agent then, and she took a real position, as a woman in the industry representing a woman, to make strides in that way. So she really deserves credit. It was really a thing for her.”

Julia on getting back into shape after having children: “I have been working out, but listen, it is 97 percent genetics. Don’t let anybody tell you any crap about anything else, because that’s what it is: 97 percent genetics and 3 percent just get your ass moving. Because I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like.”

Can’t wait for the new movies she’s got coming out soon.

Eddie Murphy, Beyonce, and Oscar winner Jamie Foxx are on the cover of next month’s Vanity Fair–which is a notable event for the simple fact that it’s black people on Vanity Fair. There has not been a black woman on the cover of Vanity Fair since Tina Turner–and the only other black men have been Will Smith, Chris Rock, Denzel Washington, and Michael Jordan.

But my question is…where are Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose? Forgive me, but isn’t Jennifer the one getting Oscar buzz? Every person that has seen this movie has clearly stated that she steals the film. Disgusting.

Another interesting fact however..is that for whatever reason, they lightened Beyonce’s skin color when she was on the cover back in ‘05. There’s a write up on it here.

Teri Hatcher, a star of “Desperate Housewives,” has revealed to Vanity Fair magazine that she was sexually molested by an uncle when she was 5 years old.

The interview with Leslie Bennetts is the first time Hatcher has talked publicly about the abuse, which she says took place 35 years ago. Hatcher, 41, later helped put the man behind bars.

In 2002, Hatcher learned that her uncle Richard Hayes Stone had been arrested on child molestation charges and that an alleged victim, a 14-year-old girl, had committed suicide.

Hatcher contacted authorities and told them her story. The case was on the verge of being dismissed when she came forward, but her testimony was instrumental in persuading Stone to plead guilty to four counts of child molestation of two girls. The 64-year-old received a 14-year prison sentence.

‘Didn’t Intend to Talk About This’

“I didn’t intend to talk about this with you,” Hatcher told Bennetts in Vanity Fair, which will hit newsstands Friday. “But it is something that’s been surfacing with me for the past three years. This is something I’ve tried to hide my whole life.”

Bennetts said she doesn’t believe Hatcher had any intention of talking about the abuse. Bennetts said the interview was a gradual process, and the two spent a lot of time getting to know each other.

Bennetts said that at first Hatcher only told her the story off the record — Hatcher was very conflicted about going public with the claim.

Hatcher told Bennetts that she was afraid of going public in 2002 because cynics might accuse her of using it to get attention and resuscitate an expiring career. But she found herself tormented by the thought of the alleged victim who shot herself.

“I kept thinking, if she’d known me, especially me being famous, if I could have said to her, ‘Look, it happened to me!’ If I could just have said to her, ‘You’re going to be OK …’,” Hatcher said in the interview.

Hatcher said she never told anyone about what happened to her as a child, not even her parents, and she doesn’t mention the ordeal in her forthcoming book, “Burnt Toast: And Other Philosophies of Life.”

Chuck Gillingham, the Santa Clara County deputy district attorney who prosecuted Stone, told Bennetts that without Hatcher’s help the case would have been dismissed. “I have so much respect for what she did,” Gillingham said. “This is a person who had nothing to gain and a lot to lose.”

For all of Hatcher’s success, she told Bennetts about her emotional scars: “I have so much pain. I’m a woman who carries around all these layers of fear and vulnerability. I’m trying to be my powerful me.”

Bennetts told “Good Morning America” that by sharing her story, Hatcher might be able to put the ordeal behind her.

“This was a very heavy burden to carry around for all these years,” Bennetts said. “She’s unloading it, getting rid of it. She’s saying, ‘This is who I am, this is how it affected me.’ She’s trying to move beyond it. “

Lindsay Lohan is “appalled” by the Vanity Fair article released last week in which she confessed to dabbling in drug and battling bulimia.

The Vanity Fair story, which hit newsstands nationally Tuesday and was widely reported last week, made headlines for the 19-year-old actress’ acknowledgment that she dabbled in drugs “a little.”

The magazine also quoted Lohan on her drastic weight loss last year: “I was making myself sick,” she said. The article, written by Evgenia Peretz, noted Lohan was “referring to bulimic episodes.”

Lohan also said, “I knew I had a problem and I couldn’t admit it.”

However, in a statement released Tuesday to Teen People magazine, Lohan denied having bulimia and said, “The words that I gave to the writer for Vanity Fair were misused and misconstrued, and I’m appalled with the way it was done.”

An editor for Teen People said Lohan’s denial was regarding Vanity Fair’s reporting of her alleged bulimia, not drug use.

“Aside from (the writer’s) lies and changing of my words, I am blessed to have this job and wonderful family that I do,” Lohan’s statement read.

Vanity Fair, in a statement of its own, stood by its story.

“Evgenia Peretz is one of our most reliable reporters,” the magazine said. “Every word Lindsay Lohan told her is on tape. Vanity Fair stands by the story.”

A call to Lohan’s publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, was not immediately returned Tuesday.
