Is Julia Roberts famous for her body? I’ve never really thought so. She’s famous for her face, of course, and that mouth, and her red hair. I guess she’s famous for her legs too, and for being tall. But I generally don’t think Julia was ever a famous “body” in the way Jennifer Lopez was and is, or someone like that. Julia is famous for being Julia. She’s famous for the laugh and for being a full-on movie star. The last time I paid attention to Julia’s body, it was in the 2007 film Charlie Wilson’s War (which is a GREAT movie), where Julia had a rare bikini moment on film. Her body looked fine, from what I remember. It helped that they were shooting her from flattering angles. I bring all of this up because The Enquirer has a story about Julia being hyper-aware of her body and even going on for “cellulite treatment” because she doesn’t want Danny Moder to leave her.
NOW that bikini season is in full swing, Julia Roberts is making sure she’s the only “Pretty Woman” to catch her hunky hubby’s eye.
The 45-year-old Oscar-winner star has been visiting a Malibu “cellulite specialist” to zap her unsightly problem areas, says a source – and to keep husband Danny Moder’s eyes focused on her!
“JULIA is determined NOT to turn into a flabby, covered-up, stroller-pushing, jeans-wearing housewife,” a pal told The ENQUIRER. “Danny is a fitness freak, and one of her biggest fears is that he will be checking out hot bikini babes on the beach while she hides under an umbrella. That’s why Julia’s been getting cellulite treatment. It’s nonsurgical, takes about an hour, and it keeps her skin looking smooth and tight.”
The still-stunning “Erin Brockovich” beauty and mother of three, who celebrated her 11th wedding anniversary with cameraman Danny on July 4, regularly visits Malibu’s Veronica’s Skin and Body Care spa.
There, she’s treated with an electronic “fat buster” device that uses acoustic impulses to break down lumpy areas under the skin, says the source.
The one-hour sessions can cost up to $300, with most patients undergoing six to nine treatments.
While Julia trusts Danny, 44, the pal says she worries because he left his first wife Vera for her, and she doesn’t want that to happen to her.
“Julia still has an amazing body, but it’s because she works hard at it,” added the source. “She says, ‘If Danny can have six-pack abs, then I can have a cellulite-free, rocking body.
“She calls it her ‘marriage insurance.’”
Yes, because I’m sure that’s why Danny Moder left Vera. Julia’s bangin’ body. It’s not because Julia actively pursued him and paid for his divorce and she’s a rich movie star and Moder knew his life would be so much better with Julia. And as for Danny leaving… well, if he would leave Julia – the mother of his three children – because of something superficial like cellulite, then they have bigger problems. That being said, I kind of believe this. Julia has been so quiet and so undercover for years now, it wouldn’t surprise me at all that she was getting some “work” done on her problem areas. I believe she’s gotten multiple eye jobs in the past too.
PS… You know we’re going to get SO MUCH JULIA later this year, right? She’s the star (along with Meryl Streep) of August: Osage County. So much Julia! So patronizing, so smug. She’s going to make Gwyneth Paltrow look like an amateur.

Oh yeah….It’s the cellulite! Not the fact that you are a huge nasty bitch…..
Don’t forget smug.
ha ha ha, you make me laugh this morning! thank you! Loath JR, not a beauty, not a great talent, and certainly sanctimonious in my book.
don’t forget condescending.
hahahaah can they zap personalities in Malibu too?
Right? And if someone is leaving me over cellulite, I’d let him go happily. This is a weird story.

or google: Julia Roberts is
That was funny!
I can’t stand Julia Roberts, she always act superior, judging everyone, didn’t she call out Angelina Jolie for being a homewrecker, kinda rich coming from her.
She only needs to worry about her marriage if a woman is photographed wearing a shirt that reads “Julia Ghoul-ia.”
Also? Julia seems like the kind of woman who will only let her husband leave via a pine box.
That would be AWESOME. I would love to see some woman wearing that shirt. Would serve her right.
Omg…we need to print up and distribute those shirts to beautiful women all over Hollywood so we see her head explode
Lamest story ever. Next.
+1. So stupid
What a load. She doesn’t have a killer figure and never will (they used a body double for the poster of Pretty Woman). She may want to look cellulite-free if she gets papped on the beach, but men don’t notice crap like a little cellulite.
And she’s just gross anyway – that cellulite is hardly the worst of it.
Thanks for getting that men don’t care about cellulite, we see hot shorts and legs and then short circuit.
Haha!!
Hahaha, my fiance actually asked me what cellulite was the other day, and only because he was looking over my shoulder when I was reading a magazine at the Dr’s office. Pretty sure it’s women that have a problem with it; not men.
While Julia trusts Danny, 44, the pal says she worries because he left his first wife Vera for her, and she doesn’t want that to happen to her.
If they do it with you…
Also, Jules, protip: look up ‘trust’.
I was hoping she would stay out of the spotlight. And, I hope that Vera is happy with her family. She (Vera) deserves it.
I think someone probably did leak that she’s having anti-cellulite treatments, but the rest is just made up BS. What movie star doesn’t get whatever cosmetic treatments are available to preserve their looks? Oh the vanity-free celebrity. That one.
Nope, never famous for her body. In fact she’s one of the few female celebrities whose body is rarely commented on, precisely because it’s completely average.
If she thought he was going to leave I’m sure upping his monthly allowance would do the trick.
Well quite – she’s always been most famous for being a bitch and the third most monumentally undeserved Oscar.
She and Danny have been married for 10 years now, so he’ll get half whatever happens.
Exactly re: the bitch part and the most undeserved Oscar win.
Re: Danny getting half. Probably not. My guess is there is a pre-nup, but I bet he would have a decent shot at getting lifetime maintenance/support because they have been married for 10 years. That is the magic number in CA, although I believe he has been working fairly consistently throughout the marriage and courts will consider his ability to support himself. There’s no doubt as a Cinematographer or other production crew member he could never support himself or the kids in the manner to which he has grown accustomed to by being married to Julia. Also, I think his father was a Producer in the Industry and did quite well, so Danny may have some family money. Either way, I wonder if 10 years of putting up with Julia was worth it.
Third most? The other two are…Sandra Bullock, Halle Berry, maybe Reese Witherspoon…or Russell Crowe…Roberto Benigni?
Marisa Tomei, Gwyneth Paltrow and Halle Berry have to up there in the undeserved Oscar territory. Russell deserved one, but not for Gladiator, for The Insider or for A Beautiful Mind. He didn’t win for A Beautiful mind because Denzel won for Training Day when he really should have won for an earlier role too. They do that, they know that someone deserved one for an earlier role so they give them one for a role that’s not as good.
Please… if she’s kicking about cellulite, it has less to do with hubby and more to do with ego.
Given the onslaught of over 40 actresses, flaunting their ‘new’ bodies and getting a lot of press for it (nevermind that they are still relegated to supporting parts in film), it wouldn’t be surprising that Roberts would want to get a piece of that action. Face it… her films lately haven’t set the world on fire and Oscar bait movies are relegated to the fall/winter… it wouldn’t surprise me if she’s thinking that she wants to get back in the HW mix full-time. All of her children are school-aged, so she can’t use the excuse that she needs to stay home with her children convincingly. People could (and should) question whether Julia is the golden girl what still has the capacity to attract audiences.
Superficial as it may be, Julia Roberts ‘returning to the scene with a killer body (for someone her age)’ would get her some spotlight.
I smell trouble..God i cant wait whats in store for her.What ever she will get:She WILL DESERVE.
sooo Danny is a hound for everyone but Julia huh?? She’ll show him, heehee.
I agree, she has never been a body type of babe, I’ve loved her hair only.
something tells me I could not work for or be friends with her.
If Danny left (which I doubt) he’s not crazy..he’d get ailimony huh??
He seems well trained, and he has endured this long. However, I don’t think her star is as overrated, I mean, bright as it was when they first met. Supposedly that was part of what blew him away from his marriage…the movie star thing.
She even LOOKS like a witch now, with the pointy chin and big teeth. Just picture her green, with a wart! Kinda funny.
“JULIA is determined NOT to turn into a flabby, covered-up, stroller-pushing, jeans-wearing housewife,” – but we have such a good time making fun of beautiful, self-absorbed, priority-skewed celebrities when we get together for our weekly Flabby Jeans Exchange.
ha ha, you get a gold star.
I’m so confused by this statement. Isn’t that *exactly* what she has turned into the last few years?? And hasn’t she made statements about not worrying about fashion, etc??? I hate how all these celebs flip their scripts when it’s convenient for them. and then they think we won’t remember what they said about the same issue a year ago.
I am right there with you, Anon33. I am always surprised to hear a reversal of their original talking points and they don’t bother to at least add “you know, I used to think… but now I don’t” or something that gives the fans some form of credit for remembering the dreck they were schilling not so long ago. What they must think of us.
*blows kiss to marie*
Forget the cellulite – start by never, ever, ever wearing that hideous “Where’s Waldo” shirt with a short-sleeved maternity pea coat. Seriously, wtf…..
THIS^^^^^^^
What goes around comes around … And didn’t she add insult to injury way back when by mocking Vera by wearing a rather cruel shirt in public that said “A-Low Vera”? I mean seriously.
Only in a horse barn would Julia be considered pretty.
OMG OMG I spit my coffee at my monitor!
Me too! Didn’t see that coming!
She should be scared. Any man who leaves a relationship the way he did has the ability to do it again. That’s and an epic does of karma make it seem like this is a long time coming
Karma’s coming for you Julie and it’s going to swallow you whole.
This woman’s got some massive insecurity issues. “Marriage insurance”, really?! I’d feel sorry for her, but she’s too big of an a-hole.
I thought 3 kids served as her ‘marriage insurance’. Maybe there is a need for a new policy.
Riiiight. Marriage dissolution due to stubborn cellulite.
She needs treatments for her personality. She needs to reduce the size of the smug that hovers around her head.
I never understood why she was so popular. Pretty hair and that’s about it.
she had this big career because she was relatable lookswise. i know in hollywood it might be the biggest insult but her average body helped her a lot.
if she worries about him leaving, well dont take a guy that leaves his wife for you. it will haunt you and rightfully so.
I read somewhere that she was not averse to the casting couch at the start of her career. It could be total BS, but can’t you just see it? She’s so snooty and smug now, but back in the day she was trying to be the next big thing like everyone else.
Anytime someone throws supreme shade at Paltrow, I just think, “They must not have read anything about Julia Roberts.” GOOP is annoying and drippy in that Escalade-whole-organic-lemons-squares-soccer-mom way but something about Roberts rubs me *way* more wrong than Paltrow.
The only reason I like her better than Paltrow is because she is a decent actress..I actually like her movies.
Wow! What did I miss in the last decade or so? I didn’t know she was thought of as a bitch.
As for the cellulite stuff – seems like pretty “normal” treatments, right?
The last time I paid attention To her body it was when she had hairy armpits at an awards show. She wore sleeveless and was waving up a storm. Guess she has a pitt infection? Doctor told her not to wax/ shave.
Maybe she should try some “aloe vera” on that cellulite, hey Jules?
Julia was never a body girl. The only time I remember it being noticeable was in Sleeping With the Enemy but that’s because she was so young and statuesque looking.
Ugh…I don’t want tons of Julia. She’s sooo damned smug and Goop like. Over it, for sure. That being said, if I had her money I would be getting all kinds of non-surgical shit done to keep my body. She has the money so why not and cellulite is such a bane…even for slim women.
Oh and whenever I think of her now I always think of how in American Dad they made fun of Ocean’s 12 and how they used her character in the film. “It wasnt even a subtle wink to the audience, it was a huge plot point!” lol
Julia acually filming a movie in NY right know and has been for a couple of weeks. There are photo of her kids and husband on set so I call BS on this story.
I don’t buy that she is doing cellulite treatments to “save” her marriage. I do buy the argument that she might be worried that he leaves her for a younger girl.
If he left wife #1 for her…there is avery good chance he will leave Wife #2 for a potential younger wife #3.
I’m sure her legs are fine, but maybe some sort of investment in getting rid of the bitch-face would be in order. That’s got to be hard to look at day after day.
I was scrolling down to say the same thing. She needs treatment for her bitch face not her legs.
Getting rid of cellulite does not give you shape. Girl has no arse – never will. Awkward build. I think she’s gross.
Dying Young.
still my favorite. sigh.
I love that movie, I even have the dvd! 🙂
I loved that movie! It made me want to move to San Francisco. I actually did go to Mendocino because of that movie. Julia was really pretty in that movie-there was some great lighting going on there.
If you’re worried your spouse will leave you because of your looks, your marriage is a total mess anyway.
julia has made some vg movies, and filmmakers used to promote her figure in the 1990s + 80s. she won an oscar portraying a real-life activist (“erin brokovich”) who exposed builders who dumped toxins near families’ homes. She also co-starred w/ richard gere (“pretty woman”). But later it was uncovered that in the movie’s advertisement photos + posters, julia’s ‘head’ was attached to pix of Other models’ bodies.. It was all just the beginning; how awful.

I thought Julia had a nice figure; She was just more slender looking, than curvy I tend not to believe the gossips. They’ll say the same old stuff, but the two stay together.
