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.'

One has to be seriously stupid to make the comment about Republicans that she made. Think of it: you're an entertainer...why would you want to insult people who might make you money? I guess liberals don't think that conservatives go to movies or buy cds or dvds. I definitely went out of my way not to go to any of flicks or buy any dvds she was in after she made that idiotic comment. I still can't believe she said what she said.

Who is Julia Roberts? Wasn't she the chef who died last year?



No Her father is on the Supreme Court

I saw part of "Sleeping with the enemy" , in some situation where I was a capture viewer - I think on a plane flight, maybe in the background while cable TV was on at a friend's house. Boring and ideological. Never seen anything else in which she was featured. Apparently she was considered a superstar at some point. But not by anyone I know.

Eric Roberts IS an excellent actor even THOUGH he's another nutty liberal. The same can't be said for his sister.

Guess they are FINALLY putting that horse-mouth out to pasture!

Here's to the new "Pretty Woman Glue" that should hit the market any time now...

A few years back she made the comment that "Republican comes between rat and reptile" or something close to that.

Retire is to tire twice. Most people were already tired of her, so now she's tired of herself.

One can only hope.

" Hooray! Most overrated actress ever! "

My tboughts exactly . And I am so sick of hearing people say how beautiful she is . If you are in the movies and look halfway decent they say you are beautiful ; if you look halfway decent and you are a waitress in a coffee shop nobody notices you . Roberts ain't beautiful .

Honestly, after having heard her speak before I think she must have the brain of newt.

A brain of a newt would be much larger than anything Jennifer Garner has. That girl is dumber than stump. She must do all her roles with ear plugs in, otherwise the whistle of the wind rushing through her head would drown out the dialogue.

Man this is some DU caliber hate. Correct me if I'm mistaken but I don't recall this particular Hollywood actress making politics a second career. Why the bashing then? Seems like you'll just turn off the quiet ones if they see no advantage to staying quiet. How about a little more class from the good guys?

I agree completely. Best move I ever made was to stay home with my girls when they were young.

My opinion isn't related to politics, I just honestly think she is a terrible actress and the most overrated one ever.
I don't expect other people to share my revulsion.

She had a disturbingly large mouth.
