I had such high hopes for this National Enquirer story, but it really let me down. The idea is that Julia Roberts could be screwing around on Danny Moder with Javier Bardem is too delicious – I want some salacious quotes from “insiders” to back it up! Alas, it’s not much of anything. The Enquirer says that Julia and Danny’s marriage is being strained by “false rumors” that she’s boning Javier. Those “false rumors” seem to have originated in this CDAN blind item, which the Enquirer even cites. Just my opinion: The way that Julia gushes over Javier publicly, and the way that she was all over him during the Eat, Pray, Love promotional tour, all of that makes me wonder if Julia AT THE VERY LEAST tried to hit that like a house on fire.
“Julia is reeling from the false rumors that she and Javier Bardem carried on a secret tryst,” an insider tells the Enquirer. “There’s talk around Hollywood that the reason Julia’s singing Javier’s praises so much is because they hooked up.”
The whispers went into overdrive this January, just as Penelope Cruz gave birth to Javier’s son.
CDAN ran a blind item that read, “This pregnant almost A-list actress just found out her A-list movie actor husband cheated on her with this A-list movie actress who is not pregnant, but has kids with her husband.” Immediately, the comments exploded and many guessed Penelope, Javier and Julia.
All of the speculation has Julia scrambling to reassure Danny Moder that her relationship with Javier is strictly platonic, said the insider: “But I’m sure Danny can’t help wondering if where there’s smoke, there’s fire!”
Danny and Julia have had marriage problems for a while, and Julia’s behavior has been at times erratic. It also doesn’t help that Julia has taken the lead in publicly campaigning for a best actor Oscar nomination for Javier for his film Biutiful. She hosted a screening in early January for industry heavyweights and gushed about Javier in interviews.
Javier’s open about his admiration for Julia too, calling her “generous” and “fun.” And their mutual appreciation must be adding to the stress between Julia and Danny, the insider said.
“Behind closed doors, all is not well,” the insider divulged. “The fire between Julia and Danny has seemed to have cooled. I think Javier came along and provided a fun distraction. Not the strain of battling the crazy rumors about her and Javier is pushing Julia and Danny to their breaking point.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition]
Well, it’s certainly interesting to think that Julia and Danny’s marriage is struggling. I think there are 50-50 odds that the struggling marriage part of the story could be true. While I respect that Julia keeps a lower profile now that she’s a mom, and that we truly have no idea where she is or what she’s doing on any given day or month, Julia has always struck me as a drama queen. And drama queens don’t enjoy a simple, quiet life with their husband and children. They need to create drama. And what better drama than a torrid affair with a Spaniard?

I don’t like Julia Roberts. Never did, don’t now, never will. Bad actress.
Stuck up person.
I just refuse to accept this unless there is solid proof. I mean, Penny just had their baby. I hope to God that Javi would have better taste than to have an affair or even casually sleep with Julia.
PLEASE let this not be true.

The attraction is Javier just looks like he would throw you up against the wall and have wild sex, and he looks like a man that loves a woman’s body from head to toe. He exudes such masculinity. Just sayin . . .
I don’t think it happened. Julia looked dumpy in that movie. Her clothes in some scenes were so matronly. Javier had hot Penelope. And I do think Julia is very much in love with Danny.

When people are having a secret affair, they are likely going to stay way the heck off each other in public, the very opposite of touchy feely, so as not to bring attention to the chemistry. Julia and Javier look way too comfortable and relaxed together, like a good friend vibe. Perfect example: Brad and Angelina during the junket for Mr and Mrs Smith, they stood far apart, and tried to look as uninterested as possible.

Come on, as if CDAN is in any way creditable.
As I’ve said before, he lies about his job. No real entertainment lawyer would actually run this kind of site because s/he’d know of the legal repercussions, and no lawyer I know even has time for that. He may well be the lawyer’s paralegal’s assistant though. His ridiculous stories aren’t in any way plausible nor exclusive.

Nanea- I agree with you for the most part about Enty especially his old hollywood blind items but there have been some that he has gotten right. He called the whole Tiger Woods, Michael C Hall and Julia Styles stories way before it became public.
He/She even did a couple of BI’s about Demi Lavato’s behavior and breakdown before it happened so he does have some type inside info just not as much as he pretends to have.

She totally wishes, but hopefully doubtful. However, julia does go after married men, so I wouldn’t put it past her. Because of her lacking moral compass regarding respect for a marriage, I don’t care for her.

He just avoids looking at her and grins and bears it. Lol.

Jen Jen – interesting i never heard that BUT he did date Penelope right after Nciole so could be true. I always heard Nicole cheated on Tom on the set of Brokeback Mtn. It was even said she was pregnant with this guys baby and miscarried hence why Tom left her and the guy was supposedly Jude Law. This was all heresay of course but interesting.

@Kim, it could be that Nicole was cheating. I remember Tom saying “Nicole knows why” about him filing for divorce. Who knows with that little weirdo, if she did cheat, it may have been because she was cut-off from the Tom,Dick and Hairy because she wouldn’t join the cult, lol.

@Kim — I think you mean Moulin Rouge — Nicole Kidman wasn’t in Brokeback Mtn. Also, Nicole & Tom spilt right before Christmas 2000, Moulin Rouge came out in 2001. Brokeback Mtn. came out in 2005.
I heard at the time she was having an affair with Ewan McGregor on the set of Moulin Rouge. I also heard that the miscarriage she *maybe* had right after the split with Tom was announced was Ewan’s baby because she & Tom hadn’t been together in a long time (if they ever were; I’ve got my doubts about Mr. Cruise).

Didn’t he just have a child with Penelope? Sometimes I admire how shallow you are. You crave for them to have an affair when both of them have children and never stop to think the impact it may have on the children’s life.
What for? For a piece of gossip among many many others that will soon be forgotten. While the betrayal in these families’ lives won’t.
Way to go, peeps.

Ok it’s not exactly related but since everyone is talking about it I feel like the ‘Nicole had a miscarriage story’ was in People mag therefore publicist sanctioned and probably true. It happened a long time ago before I was addicted in any way to gossip blogs or even gossip frankly but I feel like I read it in People. Does anyone else remember that?

@ mln76 – Yes! I remember. I also remember Nic had no idea what he was talking about when he said “she knows what she did.” Besides, that stink-fest Eyes Wide Shut was the last movie they did together, I think. And I heard rumours about Tommy-girl & Penny A LOT.
Filming/production starts W-A-Y earlier than a movie’s actual release date, so I buy that.

Julia knows what she’s doing. She’s just being a B**CH trying to tic off one of their partners. When she gave her acceptance speech 4 winning her Oscar, she thank Benjamin Bratt & went on about how she loved him … smiled , blew kisses… & all that love – love crap. See if the whole bs is on you tube . It was all BS. Bratt was married to his wife less than 6 months latter (that’s how short it seemed). She’s always been nasty. I would be surprised if she was all over him just to annoy Penny 4 the hell of it. And look at how she did Danny’s ex-wife b4 he divorced her with her F- Vera (something like that ) T-shirts. GTFOOH Julia. She’s not in the press as much because no one really gives a damn about her.

Julia gushed a lot over Denzel Washington years ago and lobbied all over the place for him to win an Oscar. History is repeating itself – this is what she is doing for Javier.
I think it is actually quite generous of her as an actor to so publicly support another actor.
Nonetheless, I can already hear the ‘you are so naive’ comments about to come my way…

#21 Renal: I agree. WTF was wrong with Benjamen Bratt….that hot, hot actor….and she was with him a long time, for her. She can’t do commitment, that is my assessment of JR’s main “issue.” I hope JB was smarter than to take some temporary benefit (physical) from her; I can see him loving the publicity spotlight she brings, though. So, it probably isn’t a real deal; but it for sure is something JR would like to secretely promote (that she and JB are hooking up.)

i just watched eat pray love recently. i read that she insisted on bringing her family to bali for the shoot. i think she was pregnant w/third child during the shoot (lots of baggy-ish clothes and such). i doubt she’d feel like having an affair during the filming and i would imagine it would be hard for j and j to hook up in between films. and i agree with the comment that their in-public body language is more touchy-feely than it would be if they were having an affair…not that they don’t have great chemistry…and not that even the platonic flirting could be bothering their partners.

I don’t believe any of it. Now I know why Mr. & Mrs. Bardem do not discuss their private lives with the public! And I don’t blame them one bit. Some people are just jealous, vicious, and cruel and hateful. Some people are just so miserable that they must try to destroy others in order to feel good about themselves.
Why do people feel the need to bad mouth others that they don’t personally know?Why are people trying to ruin what should be a joyous time for the Bardem’s? JEALOUSY! That’s what it is.
What does or doesn’t go on in their personal lives is NO ONE’s business. Leave them alone and stop spreading malicious gossip. You wouldn’t like it if people did the same to you.
