Video has multiple f-bombs and is NSFW
Yesterday Kaiser covered the story that Julia Roberts gave an obscenity-filled speech at a tribute to Tom Hanks in New York on Monday night. She talked in bawdy terms about Tom’s wife, Rita Wilson’s hot body and mocked his less successful films like The Terminal. US Weekly had a good transcript of Roberts’ speech, but of course it’s just not the same as seeing it. PopEater had the video of her speech shown above, which is incredibly amusing. Of course Roberts does rely on cursing a little too much to add humor, but I think it works. She’s funny, relaxed and really gives the impression that she’s excited to be there and is talking off the cuff . I agree with Kaiser that a few glasses of wine were involved, at least enough to take the edge off, but not enough that she made a fool of herself.
There’s one part that US Weekly didn’t include in their coverage. Roberts got semi-serious for a moment.
She said “I just want to tell you something that’s really from the heart that I do have… Tom can walk into any room and make you feel like you’re in your living room… make you feel comfortable, make you feel like you have something interesting to contribute, make you feel like there’s a reason you’re on the planet. And that’s a true gift… it’s heart and it’s compassion and it’s soul. He has that and only a couple of other people that I gave birth to have that.”
She also joked that Sally Field played her mom once too, so they’re like “sisters.”

Fuckin’ luv Julia Roberts!
She’s fuckin’ great.
I mean that from the bottom of my fuckin’ heart!
She’s a fuckin narssicist!
This just goes to remind us that Julia Roberts is America’s classiest sweetheart. Sweet damn do you I love this bitch so much right now.
LOVE IT!!! Gawd! she is so funny and real, natural and just tells it like it is with big humor
Everything is about her.
I still don’t like this horse-faced bitch.
Meh, I am so hot and cold where she is concerned. Her whole demeanor in this video is pretty natural so I am guessing this comes pretty easy for her. Is it becoming or sexy for a woman to drop the F bomb? I guess that is for her colleagues to decide.
Seeing as we did not see the prior speakers and judging from the audience reaction I would say that she was playing to the theme of the night. This wasnt the Oscars – it seemed like more of a ‘roast’ type event to me. The audience was lapping it up.
I have seen far worse behaviour (if not heard worse language) from other Celebs who were not in this type of setting.
Since when is MISS Julia Roberts not allowed to curse? I for one can just see her using that word in everyday situations just like many of us do. It doesn’t shock me at all because I have never seen her as a princess type gal.
I know that to some people this is a very bad word. But it is being used far more commonly than most people realise. For me there is an important distinction between using it in malice and using it for effect in conversation.
i laughed.
