Julia Roberts was one of the guests on David Letterman last night. She wore a striking white pantsuit that complemented her gorgeous figure without showing any skin. Most of the initial interview between Letterman and Roberts was awkward as he kept saying he wanted a chance with her in the past but that she got married and had children. Roberts reminded Letterman that his son is older than her children so that must mean that he’s been with the mother of his child longer than she’s been with her husband.
After the break Letterman showed a brief clip of his son Harry, 5, after Roberts asked him what he looked like. Harry looked a little bewildered at the camera but waved sweetly and was so cute! Letterman said that Harry “was here at the show one day,” which is when the footage was taken. He quipped that Harry “actually prefers Leno.”
On his love for his son
Letterman said “I can’t really talk about it, because everybody who’s had a kid knows it… It’s like some sort of hydroelectric force in you that is unqualified.”
“Yes,” Julia answered, “You just crack wide open.”
Letterman then got philosophical asking “Why doesn’t that feeling, that everyone on the planet has, why doesn’t that transcend to keep us from killing one another?”
Then Letterman found a piece of hair in the back of Roberts’ head that was pink and he seemed to delight in picking it up and showing it to the audience. Roberts explained that the pink streak was for her twins Hazel and Phin, 4.
“Hazel thought I should have pink hair. For someone who wants enthusiasm and support but perhaps less attention I don’t think that having a head of pink hair is the way to go. So I went for just a little bit.
“[Hazel] was crazy about it, but Phin was more crazy about it. He will stop people in the market. ‘Sir, sir, look at my mommy’s hair.'”
Letterman said that he wanted to paint the house purple at Harry’s insistence and Julia enthused “You’re so great!” He answered “Mom didn’t think so. She just didn’t think purple would look great on a shingled home.”
The things we do for our kids.
Julia on the Octomom: leave her alone
The subject of Octomom came up when Dave was showing a photo spread that Julia did for Allure in an octagonal home. Julia then said “Octomom, octohomes” and added “honestly, talk about love each other more. Whatever we think, deep inside our minds. I think we should just leave that gal alone.”
Letterman said “I don’t know anything about her. In the beginning it started off as one of those creepy but sweet stories. Now there for a while, it just seemed creepy. I don’t know where it is now. The one thing is there’s not really a shortage of humans.”
Roberts said that she didn’t want to have more kids and that “I think I’m good.”
Dave straightened up and said “Let me know, so I can adjust the chair.”
Letterman was kind of skeevy with Roberts but that was sweet that he showed footage of his son. I don’t watch The Late Show regularly, and am not sure if he’s shown his son before, but I think this is the first time. From what I know Dave is a very private person and it must have been a big decision for him to show Harry on the air.

She’s right.
Let’s leave that poor woman alone. But her doctor belongs to jail.
Julia – why don’t you have a nice, warm cup of STFU – please
This woman has 14 kids and can barely support herself – but you know, the world will just leave her alone and eventually we’ll have another Casey Anthony saga happening because this *not so bright* octomom is just haing more kids and she cannot see to them.
Children need love and attention and conversation and safety. She has 14 kids!
I have 2 small children (i am a single mom), it takes me 45 minutes to get home from work and even with all the time at home with them, when i tuck them into bed at night i still feel like i just didn’t have enough time with them tonight to do the important things.
That’s 14 children to tuck in and take care of.
You should focus on acting – common sense is NOT your strong point …
Hope Harry isn’t anything like his dad.
I saw Julia on Letterman AGES ago, and he just sat there the whole interview and stared at her and talked about how perfect her lips were. It was getting ridiculous. I like him though – he pushes the envelope.
gg you are right – I watched Dave that evening and he was ga-ga over JR. I have never seen him act like that with any other woman. He must have a thing for her – duh ya’ think so?
I remember Letterman showing a photo of Harry on his show a year or so back (when Harry got onto a t-ball or baseball or something team).
And I don’t really care what JR thinks about octomoron – she’s just attempting to generate publicity for her movies (and it appears to be working).
I think Dave is gaga over JR because she’s a bit of a wiseass like him.
Harry is incredibly adorable.
Dave’s always like that whenever Julia is on her show.
Perhaps Julia should help Octomom with all of her expenses? Then maybe people would lose their outrage and curiosity with her and just leave her alone as Julia suggests.
Oh, Julia. Love you as an actress, but more often than not you say the most foolish crap. Stuff it, honey.
Jullia needs to pay of ocotmoms house for her and buy the food and pay medical for her. Let us hear how great she is then when it cost JR money?
Harry is adorable
He and JR actually have a special kind of relationship. She once admitted to him on- air that she invited him out to dinner because she was trying to hit on him. Being notoriously private, he turned her down not realizing her true intentions. I think he has always regretted it. They have kissed on-air (nothing gratuatious just a peck on the lips). She also filled in as a guest host when he was out recouperating from heart surgery. Months later, she was brought to tears when she was asked about it. She said she was crying because she thought how sad it would have been if the world had lost such a great man.
He’s shown pictures of the kid regularly since he was born – it keeps the paps from bothering them as much as they would if there were no photos out there.
He beats them to the punch to devalue the potential pictures, which cuts down on people following/bothering them,
You know, I wonder if maybe Julia was kind of saying what I feel about Octo-Mom. I don’t in any way feel that what she or the doctor have done is right. I sometimes wonder if she watches Jon & Kate Plus 8 and figured she too could reap the benefits from companies offering products/vacations for the advertising. My thoughts are that if that’s even a remote possibility we all should leave the woman alone. You wanted them; you’ve them…bye. No freebies; no publicity; no reality show; no book deal; no Lifetime movie deals. You wanted to be a Mom…have at it (and you’d better do it well because you’ve got the worlds attention, Honey). Maybe Julia was thinking along those lines but figured “leave her alone” was enough said. Who knows.
The sun is one major external factor that can do damage to your skin. When you get too much sunlight it will damage the free radicals. Another factor is cigarette smoke which will make your skin lose its texture and sheen. It also reduces the blood flow in your skin which is vital to your skin’s health.
I have always liked Julia Roberts & always enjoyed her movies—no more. I thought that the way she may fun of varicose veins was uncalled for. What is she going to do next? Make fun of fat or ugly people? She should not make fun of people with varicose veins. I have had them for years, but can’t afford to have anything done for them. Think of that, Julia, “can’t afford”.
