I can’t believe it’s been almost 20 years since my senior year in High School. I knew back then that when we gathered for the reunion, we would probably need a few name tags to identify one another. Generally we’ve all changed to a certain degree, but at the 20 year mark, we’ve all changed to the point where it would deem necessary the use of name tags. I walked into a grocery store the other day and saw a Facebook friend of mine that I had not seen since high school and didn’t recognize him. I wonder how many other people I’ve seen out and about and didn’t make the connection. I know some of us have lost our hair, gained some weight, grew some facial hair (and that’s just the women) even came across a few, “HOLY Sh*t! WTF happened to you?” moments. All in all in the end, it’s always good to see an old friend.
Even though we didn’t have any celebrities from our class, I wonder even if we did, would I even recognize them? I’m glad that I treated people kindly, the same way that I do now, cause you never know when you will run into a ‘blast from the past’. Imagine if you were the guy in H.S that dated Octo-mom with thoughts of one day raising a family. Imagine if you were someone that laughed at Bill Gates for being a nerd way back when. Imagine if you made fun of Angelina Jolie for having big lips. I find joy in knowing that a few of the ‘unpopular’ kids are now so rich they could buy the venue our reunion will be held in. I smile from ear to ear when I hear stories of ‘fat’ girls becoming ‘sexy’ movie actresses, hanging on a poster in your sons bedroom as he tells you to ‘knock’ before you come in. Gotta love karma.
Julia Roberts took to the streets of her neighborhood yesterday in the hope that running a block at 3 miles an hour would make her look semi-descent in a bikini and ended up almost passing out half way through. Which is why i posted these, horrible, horrible bikini pics of her from just two months ago. I’m all about empowering women to reach their full potential. Run, Julia, run!!!
And here’s one amazing video clip to keep your mood in check and help you sail cheerfully through the rest of this holiday season. Italian coffee company Lavazza reportedly paid Julia Roberts $1.5 million for this 45-second commercial. While the figure may appear a bit too exorbitant, I don’t think Lavazza has overspent on this ad. If the motive behind this commercial was to claim that their coffee can rejuvenate even a brain dead man, then Lavazza has hit bullseye by roping Julia as a symbol. Because, you know, if there’s one thing that can actually pull this trick, it’s Julia’s pretty smile. Enjoy the video.
So much for America’s Sweetheart because Julia Roberts has a potty mouth! And even more shockingly, is alive. Holy shit!
Julia was apparently walking with her husband and three kids when this guy got in their face and attempted to greet the clan, affably. Instead, Julia shouted awesome things like, “You get the f*ck out of my face… do you understand me?” Also, “You are harassing me. Get the f*ck out of my face. You have followed me all over town. I have had it with you…F*ck off! Aim higher! Get a life! Get away from me!”
Like a fierce lioness protecting her cubs, Julia Roberts confronted a photographer — getting right into his face — after she spotted him snapping pictures of her family in Los Angeles this week.
The incident happened Monday as Roberts, 43, walked with her husband Danny Moder and her three children – 6-year-old twins Hazel Patricia Moder and Phinnaeus “Finn” Walter Moder and 3-year-old Henry Daniel Moder.
I’m now imagining Julia’s daughter saying to her second-grade teacher tomorrow: “You are harassing me. Get the f*ck out of my face. I have had it with you… F*ck off! Aim higher! Get a life! Get away from me!”
I especially like the idea of the kid saying to her teacher, “Aim higher! Get a life!”
Anyone who has ever had a family knows what it's like to experience grief, discord, or estrangement... and if your family has remained free of such sorrows, consider yourself lucky!
Even, and sometimes especially the rich and famous find themselves caught up in family feuds that are documented in the headlines for all to witness. But several celebrities have found healing and a way back to love and goodwill through the birth and upbringing of their children.
In Eat Pray Love, Julia Roberts plays a woman who leaves her marriage in a quest of self-discovery, but in real life it's husband Daniel Moder that keeps her grounded.
He's my rock. My husband is my best bud. He's so smart and he never lets me down
And the actress also admits that it's her husband's dedication to their three children – twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 5, and son Henry, 3 – that makes it possible for her to accept as many movie roles as she does. "People often ask me about balancing work and motherhood and whatnot, but it's easier for me than for so many others," she said. "I can choose when I work and I have a wonderful support system in place."
But Julia is quick to point out that there isn't any one key to a happy union. "There's no 'secret' to a successful marriage - it's not a magic trick," she says. "I'm just lucky to have found someone who I can build my life on.
"I'm at an appropriate place in my life. But you have to continually nurture that place. I don't think it's a finite fixed point on a map, but family definitely plays a huge part in that."
Hazel and Phinnaeus are getting so big! Busy mom Julia Roberts brought her twins, who turn 5 later this month, to the airport in Bali before returning to the set of Eat, Pray, Love today (November 9).
The Oscar-winner is starring in the film adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling memoir along with Billy Crudup, Javier Bardem and James Franco. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters next year.
Julia and her hubby Daniel Moder are also parents to 2-year-old son Henry.
