Julia Roberts In Vanity Fair

Julia Roberts looks like the classic beauty that she is for the cover of Vanity Fair. She also sat down with the magazine to do an interview. Some of the quotes she gave them are pretty funny, especially when she gets to talking about diapers and weight loss :)
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."


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."


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."


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."


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."

She is so right about the paparazzi. I love my celebs but they need to be left alone on the streets. I hate the pictures of the celebs chased down and enraged just to have a story about how they lost their cool with the photographers. It’s so wrong in so many ways. TMZ just ran a story about Mary Louise Parker, a photog kept the elevator door open just so he could get a shot of her in the airport with her children. Her kids were terrified and she looked scared too. These photographers are criminals, and not just for what they do, a lot of them are convicted criminals who want to make the big money that comes with the photos. I will never covet fame; it never looked less appealing to me. There’s no way in hell I would want to be stalked by dangerous people who will do ANYTHING for a picture to sell.

Good for her for pointing out the genetics part! I'm so sick of the nanny state browbeating, guilt tripping, and scaring people for not fitting the thin ideal.

Although I am at a huge loss as to why anyone is interested in Mary Louise Parker! She's boring, plain and has a voice like an annoying bored see saw. Even her name is tedious. Never got her. The worst of the bored, don't give a $hit x generation.
