When she was first becoming a huge movie star, Julia Roberts famously described herself as “somewhere between a chick and a broad”. The original quote was, “I’m too tall to be a girl, I never had enough dresses to be a lady, I wouldn’t call myself a woman. I’d say I’m somewhere between a chick and a broad.” Once a broad, always a broad. Julia’s never really been known as obscene, but she got down and dirty during a tribute to Tom Hanks Monday night. Julia not only used the f-bomb several times, she talked graphically about Rita Wilson’s body in an obscene yet complimentary way. Reading Julia’s comments, I tend to think she might have had a few too many glasses of wine. Or maybe that’s the way she really talks, and she was just letting it all hang out:
Get Julia Roberts a bar of soap!
At a Film Society of Lincoln Center event honoring Tom Hanks in NYC Monday, the Duplicity star, 41, dropped the F-bomb several times.
“Alright well, it’s late and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee,” she began. “So Tom, everybody f—–g likes you. All my bits are gone. Listen, I had lunch today with Rita [Wilson, Hanks' wife], and her t–s were here [motioned high] and her waist was here [motioned small] and her a– was like that [motioned high], so what can I tell you that’s new? Tom Hanks, what the f–k?”
Audience members – including Charlize Theron – busted up with laughter.
She then went on to say she’s seen most of Hanks’ films except That Thing (You Do). I love the Cohen brothers, but the hair Tom [in 2004's Ladykillers], I didn’t even know what the f–k that movie was about!” Of 2004′s The Terminal, she cracked, “You in the airport with the accent? It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn’t know. I love you, and I didn’t know what to do, really. God, I’m wearing the same f—–g dress tonight as your publicist!”
The audience again laughed. “Listen, I’ve got to get home. But this much we know … I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you.”
Roberts then lost her train of thought. “It’s so dark out there, I feel like I’m in space,” she said as an audience member held up their cell phone. “Thank you, whoever just made it light. [Lost creator] J.J. Abrams, are you here?”
Before exiting the stage, she reiterated to Hanks how much she loved him.

Doesn’t she sound drunk? Maybe she was just punch-drunk, too tired or jet-lagged or something. In any case, I doubt Tom was offended. I actually cuss like a sailor in my real life, and some days it takes real effort not to type in a string of obscenities when I’m writing about someone like Jessica Simpson or Paris Hilton. And Julia’s totally right about The Terminal. That film was horrible (mainly because of Catherine Zeta-Jones, not Hanks), and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
Julia Roberts is shown last night at the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Gala Tribute Honoring Tom Hanks. Also shown are Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Ron Howard, Sally Field, Glenn Close, Steven Spielberg, Ed Burns, Christy Turlington, Charlize Theron, Jeremy Irons, Adrien Brody, and Tom Hanks’ son, Colin Hanks.

oh whatever! I thought that was hilarious! I liked “God, I’m wearing the same f—–g dress tonight as your publicist!”” That cracked me up!

Well yeah, she sounds pretty pissed (in the drunk sense) but anyone notice that her tribute was all about herself, and not Tom? Julia may love Tom but she loves herself most of all. She bores me.

Geronimo, I don’t see it. Most of the time she talks about Rita Wilson’s body, another part is about Tom’s body (no pun intended) of work and then there’s a little bit of, uhm, private information about herself. To me, it rounds up pretty well!

Geronimo – Bite your tongue! The sun only shines for Julia!

It’s ballsy and she definitely sounds out of it but it’s refreshing to hear a gorgeous Hollywood star curse like a sailor!

Sauvage & Kaiser – Well that’s how it reads to me, she does talk about Rita, and Tom’s work but only in how they relate to her. Why say she needs to go home, to pee, to pay her babysitter overtime, how low her tits are, that she’s wearing the same dress as his publicist? Who gives a toss? It’s Tom’s night, not hers.
Anyway, I reserve my right to be biased.

I can’t really see how making fun of his movies and talking about herself could be considered a “tribute”.
I’m not sure how talking about his wifes body is such a manner, is a tribute to his film career, as well.

How disappointing to hear Julia so focused on her looks and other women’s looks and making a public spectacle of it, demeaning herself and even Rita and Tom in the process. Sad.

That did make me have a little chuckle. I do quite like her…when she doesn’t act.

Amen Geronimo!! That’s just how Julia always is. Remember when she gave Denzel the Oscar? All about her…..nothings changed.

Well, it sounded genuine, if nothing else. Makes me want to see her as a Mae West character next.

Love it.

Ok she kept it real. We already knew she could be “profane”. And as far as her being self-centered—she’s an actor folks! Thats what they are (besides being a very insecure bunch). That said, i would recommend to Julia and everyone else to see “That thing you do”. One of Tom’s best. Steve Zahn’s performance is funny and Rita’s (Tom’s wife) breasts are way out here in a cocktail waitress outfit. Her smile is pretty too.

Methinks the pressure to be America’s Sweetheart can be a bit too intense. But she could have always been more real and given up those $ catering to peoples’ fantasy with female archetypes.
I am so looking forward to a world where women are respected as people, there is compassion for aging, alpha dog men are not catered to, and the ideal of youth is recognized as simply that.

I love Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks and this just made me love them and Rita a little bit more. Relax people. She was talking to a bunch of adults.
I love that she looks all sweet and innocent and then she opens her mouth and the raw truth comes out. Go Julia! and you know that Tom and Rita both loved it.

“Julia Roberts a potty-mouthed, self centered , the universe revolves around me, even when its all about you its about me, shallow tart?”
Yeah, but to be fair, that’s true of most actresses (and actors, for that matter). Actors are, by definition, attention whores.

It’s always all about Julia. Maybe her behavior would be less obnoxious if she were witty and articulate.
