Aside from “Eat, Pray, Love”, Miss Roberts also recently put in work on the Garry Marshall directed romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day”.

Boasting a star-studded cast including Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway and Ashton Kutcher, the flick finds “intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles breaking-up and making-up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine’s Day.”

Out for another day’s work, Julia Roberts was all smiles on the set of “Eat, Pray, Love” in New York City on Thursday (August 20).

The “Pretty Woman” actress was on-hand for what’s the last day of filming inthe Big Apple – as the cast will soon be heading to shoot scenes in Italy, India and Indonesia.

Continuing work on her new flick, Julia Roberts was spotted walking around the “Eat, Pray, Love” movie set in downtown Tribeca on Tuesday (August 18).

Reportedly headed to Rome, Italy to shoot scenes overseas later this week, the “Pretty Woman” cutie’s newest project is scheduled for release in 2011.

And Julia has to be hoping to strike gold at the box office with her new film – as recent reports tell that she was originally slated to star in “The Proposal” – a spot she lost to Sandra Bullock after demanding too much money.

Making for a tough career move, insiders point out that “The Proposal” pulled in $151 million at the box office – much more than Julia’s recent ventures.

She’s one of the most accomplished women in Hollywood, and earlier today (July 23) Julia Roberts was spotted working on a new movie called “Eat, Pray, Love.”

The “Pretty Woman” hottie sported several different ensembles throughout the Manhattan outdoor shoot, changing quickly in between takes like the seasoned pro that she is.

And it sounds like Julia has a magical admirer – “Harry Potter” actress Emma Watson recently told press she considers Roberts her hero and role model.

Emma told press, "When I was little, I wanted to be a fairy after being a princess. Then I realized it was impossible so I decided to be an actress. My hero is Julia Roberts. As a child I always wanted to be like her. She has a magnetic personality and smile."

Out on an afternoon shopping trip,  Julia Roberts was spotted taking care of business in West Hollywood on Friday (May 29).

The “Pretty Woman” actress made a stop at Bill Hargate costumes, looking as if she were eyeing the purchase of a pregnancy suit before leaving the shop with a bagful of goodies and her gal pal.

After saying that a dinner with the Obama family is her favourite dream, “Pretty Woman” Julia Roberts has now revealed that she has a huge crush on the entire first family.

“I have such a White House crush happening right now for all four of the Obamas!” Julia Roberts declares in an interview with the US TV show The Insider.

Making no attempt to hide her admiration for Barack Obama, Julia Roberts admitted that not only does she have a huge crush on the 44th and the first African-American president of United States, but also loves his wife Michelle Obama and their two young daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Academy winning actress Julia was all praise for first lady Michelle Obama, saying “She seems to be a person who is really authentic and shows who she really is.”

Julia had earlier proclaimed that the Obamas would be at the very top of her invite list when she planned her dream dinner party, even promising to cook “a big chicken tagine with figs and apricots” herself for the first family.

“OK! Magazine” has reported that Jessica Simpson is hoping to do a remake of the now classic Julia Roberts and Richard Gere romantic comedy “Pretty Woman.” Simpson’s dad and manager may be the only one that thinks this could possibly be a good idea for the former pop star and reality television actress. According to a source quoted in the magazine, Joe has been “telling anyone who will listen that she’s the next Julia.”

Perhaps Joe hasn’t seen his daughter’s latest flick, “Blonde Ambition” – of course not many people will be seeing it. The movie is allegedly only being released in Jessica’s homestate of Texas. Joe’s support of his daughter is admirable but Simpson is no Julia Roberts. Her acting talent isn’t even comparable.
