Hollywood favorite Julia Roberts will retire from acting following her performance next year on Broadway.
The star of 'Pretty Woman' reportedly wants to spend all of her time with baby twins Phinneus and Hazel as they grow up.
'Juila is done with Hollywood and starring in a Broadway play is the perfect chance to make a graceful exit,' a close friend was quoted as saying.'
'She's been talking about leaving Los Angeles and stopping the movie roles ever since the twins were born last November.'
'She wants a change of scenery, a change of pace and a new challenge.'

And to think she promised she'd always love me and that I would be the only one she'd ever have sex with! The nerve!
I would guess the new one includes Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon, possibly Sandra Bullock but her last one kind of just sat there.
Does this mean she's no longer up for the Supreme Court nomination?
It will be a full time job keeping young Phinneus from getting bullied for his name.
'She wants a change of scenery, a change of pace and a new challenge.'
Actually, so did we, but she never took the hint.
Good. She'll need a lot of spare time to keep taking "Phinneas" to the emergency room after all the beatings he's gonna get in school for having such a stupid, brain-dead-liberal name. Way to go, "Selfish Woman."
Ditto. While a number of superlibs are pretty good actors, she isn't one of them. She gained notoriety for being in a number of liberal (not liberally) -acclaimed flicks. The reality is that many actors and movies are given great ratings by liberal movie reviewers simply because they act in and champion movies that are liberal activist vehicles. Tom Hanks would have never gotten an Oscar for "Philadelphia" or whatever it was called if it wasn't about a homosexual. Hanks is a pretty good actor, by he's been given a gigantic boost by the liberal film industry. "Forrest Gump" still stinks.
Poor kid, hopefully in school they will just shorten it to 'Finn.'
No! Say it ain't so!
I was so looking forward to her starring in the remake of Mr. Ed!
I always thought his best role was in "Runaway Train". It was a very underrated flick that had blockbuster performanes by Roberts and Jon Voight. Definitely worth renting for anyone who hasn't seen it.
Oh, hell, she'll be back as soon as she can get the brats out of her hair.
Yes! Terrific movie! But check out the screenwriting credits for some surprises.
To North Korea I hope!
His career had been in decline throughout the 80s due to his violent behaviour (arrested for stalking a girl friend). But he levelled off in the nineties in the typical $5 million dollar indie flick, usually as one of two similarly ranked actors. The salary for that type of work is usually in the $50k per week range for what would typically be a six week shoot. Do that three or four times a year as he has and life is good, even after taxes, agents, managers and lawyers. Since the 90s the indie world has changed and I would wager that his asking price is now in the $10k per week range.
Her dad has been nominated to the Supreme Court already?
Good riddance, indeed.
Julia Roberts isn't an actress, she's a movie star. There's a big difference.
The only reason Ho'weird gave her an Academy Award was that her films used to make a lot of money. Typical. Happens all the time.
