Julia Roberts held a viewing party at her house for the A Mighty Heart DVD, in which Angelina Jolie plays the wife of slain journalist Daniel Pearl, who was killed by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002. When the film was over, she promptly told guests that she could have done a better job in the starring role as Marianne Pearl than Angelina did. Maybe she thought she would have looked better as a person of mixed ethnicity, because you know she would have had no ethical issues with wearing dark makeup for that role:

Julia Roberts invited friends to her new Malibu home to watch the recently released DVD of the film – and after sitting through every minute, she gave Angie a resounding two-thumbs-down, reveals a source.

“‘I would rarely say this, but I think I could have done a better job with this film,’ Julia announced to her friends. And they loved her reaction,” says the source. “Angelina isn’t exactly the most loved person in Hollywood.”

The article goes on to say that Julia’s husband Danny Moder worked as a cameraman on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and personally watched Angelina work her magic on the then-married Brad.

“Danny told her it was obvious that Angelina was making a play for Brad,” says the source. “People on the set called her Spider-Woman because she was spinning a web for Brad. Julia said Angelina had no shame. She’s made it pretty clear that she doesn’t hold Angie in high regard. Julia’s definitely on Team Jennifer!”

If it’s true that Roberts dissed Angelina’s acting like that and that she didn’t like her anyway, it sounds like she had a viewing party of the film just so that she could rip it apart with her friends. That’s nasty! She went out of her way to create an opportunity to talk smack about Angelina.

I’m not a big Angelina fan, but I really think Julia Roberts is full of shit. She talks a good game about how she’s trying to be a super-mom who lives a low-impact lifestyle, but she also drives an SUV and was recently busted parking in a handicapped spot. Add in the fact that she’s bitter about Angelina and I’ll trash her anytime I can. Does that make me a hypocrite because I just ripped on her for doing the same thing to Angelina? Yes, yes it does.

Here’s Julia Roberts showing off her five-month-old son, Henry, on Oprah last week. I know it’s hard to tell in these pictures taken off television, but she really looks like she’s had some recent work done. Look at how her eyes turn up now. Thanks to Splash News for these pictures.
