Everyone is buzzing about the fact that Julia Roberts told Elle magazine that she doesn’t believe in Botox…but I’m more interested in the fact that she and her entire family are now Hindu. How interesting.

“The entire Roberts-Moder family, goes to temple together to “chant and pray and celebrate. I’m definitely a practicing Hindu.” says Roberts.

Well then she was definitely the perfect fit for Eat Pray Love. What a great, peaceful and honest way to raise your kids. Coming from someone who raised Katy Perry-style….this is incredibly refreshing to hear.

On Botox and plastic surgery:

“It’s unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don’t even give themselves a chance to see what they’ll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I’ll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I’m pissed, when I’m happy, and when I’m confounded. Your face tells a story… and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office.”

I tried to read this book at least two times but couldn’t get through it. Hopefully the movie will hold my interest longer.

Everyone I know told me what a great, redeeming story it was…but I got bored in Italy.

The movie, based on the best-selling memoir of the same name, follows Roberts as Elizabeth Gilbert, a divorced woman who sets out on a year-long journey to Italy, India and Bali, where she, of course, eats, prays and finds love.

America’s sweetheart Julia Roberts is only in the movie Valentine’s Day for about six minutes, but she still managed to get a $3 million pay day.

New Line Cinema paid Roberts $3 million up front against 3 percent of the gross for what is little more than an extended cameo. That comes out to an astonishing $8,333 per second of screen time, or roughly $500,000 a minute. Verbally, it’s a minimum of $11,952 per spoken word.

I doubt anyone else in the giant ensemble cast was paid so much. I love JR as much as the next Southern girl..but is she really the big draw for this flick? Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba, Bradly Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Taylor2, Jamie Foxx…yeah ..I guess she is.

41 year-old Julia Roberts rocks a cute bikini in Hawaii.

Not quite up to par with her Pretty Woman body…but not too shabby for someone with three toddlers. Not that I am judging. Well maybe a little.

Was Julia Roberts drunk at the Film Society of Lincoln Center event honoring Hanks on Monday? I mean, I know they are great pals and she was just joking..but this wasn’t a roast..it was a serious award ceremony. If you can’t watch the potty-mouth video at the office ..here’s the transcript.

I don’t know…I think it’s kinda cool to hear America’s Sweetheart dropping the F-bomb and talking about having to pee.

“Alright well, it’s late and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee.  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?”

“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!”   [Regarding his movie, The Terminal], “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!”

“Listen, I’ve got to get home. But this much we know … I will say this: Tom Hanks, ‘I love you.’  It’s so dark out there, I feel like I’m in space.  Thank you, whoever just made it light. [Lost creator] J.J. Abrams, are you here?”
