I was totally enthralled with the performance of Barbra Streisand in the 1973 movie, "The Way We Were." Before that her '68 performance in "Funny Girl" was classic. But her performance lately on the political stage has not been one of her best roles. She's been a real disappointment. Julia Roberts was everybody's "sweetheart" in Steel Magnolias, and after that I didn't want to miss a single movie. But when she entered the political arena saying, "Bush is not my candidate . . . the word 'Republican' in the dictionary comes between 'reptile and repugnant,'" my respect for her acting...

Star-Packed Full Frontal a Box-Office Dud Did you ever think Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt would make a movie and everyone would ignore it? Well, that's the case with Steven Soderbergh's unintelligible Full Frontal. Last weekend, in a little over 200 theaters, it made less than $400,000. Its total so far is a million bucks. That isn't even enough to pay Julia's annual hairstyling bill. What happened? ...

Hollywood insiders have labelled Julia Roberts' speech at this year's Oscars disrespectful. Juila presented the Best Actor award to Denzel Washington, who she had openly campaigned for, and made no secret of her delight when the Training Day star won. But Movie bosses are seething that she was so biased towards her The Pelican Brief co-star. One source says, "We all know how she feels about Denzel, but the Oscar ceremony was not the place to show it. It was just very disrespectful to the other nominees, as well as their fans." Roberts has also been criticized for making a...
