This is what is wrong with Hollywood
 
From Imdb.com:

Hollywood rivals Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones are reportedly feuding over who gets the best outfits in upcoming movie sequel Ocean's Twelve. The Oscar winners reportedly fell out on the set of 2001 comedy America's Sweethearts - and are now battling it out on the sequel to 2001 heist thriller Ocean's Eleven. Roberts - who starred in the first film - is alleged to have exploded after discovering Zeta-Jones' more glamorous wardrobe. An onset source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Julia didn't like the clothing she was to wear, especially when she got a look at the gorgeous stuff Catherine had lined up." Roberts has also reportedly insisted producers change the script so her character - the girlfriend of George Clooney's Danny Ocean - isn't pregnant, because she didn't want to carry an unflattering bump.

If Julia Roberts doesn't want an unflattering bump, why hasn't she gotten a nose job?

Supermallet 04-12-04 02:49 PM

That's not the problem with Hollywood, it's the problem with Julia Roberts. Grr.

ArchibaldTuttle 04-12-04 03:03 PM

celebritys have always done whatever they want and will continue to do so, I guess Hollywood is doomed then if this is the problem

Nice to see film being treated as an artform. :rolleyes:


BTW, this is one of the many many many things that's wrong with Hollywood.

I'd say making a movie like "Ocean's 12" is a bigger indication of what's wrong with Hollywood than self centered stars on a tirade.

We have a winner!

RyoHazuki 04-12-04 03:21 PM

Well Catherine Zeta Jones is wayyyy hotter than Julia so I say they drop Julia like a bad habit.

Yeah, this is obviously a legitimate story. You can always trust IMDB.com and The Daily Mirror. :rolleyes: I can make up a "story" just as well as they can.

Ocean's 11 was a pretty amusing film, had a few genuine laughs mostly due to Carl Reiner, but this is the part I remember laughing at in the theatre the most during it's initial release:

It's shortly after the scene where Julia Roberts appears for the first time, saunters down the escalator in slow-motion, super close-up on her tight red dress and her face as Brad Pitt seems to look on in awe. A scene later he and George Clooney are gabbing about her then Pitt exclaims, "She looked good."

I bust a gut laughing right then and there at the mere thought that anyone would find this lanky, aging, wombat-faced primadonna with Mr. Ed's teeth and gums to be hot. If you do, gimme the number of your dealer 'cause I wanna try what kind of seriously potent crack rocks you're smoking.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who felt this way. "Pretty Woman" - she wishes.

Maybe it's just a friendly rivlary.

I love how people express their distaste for celbrities by saying they are fugly. Julia doesn't do it for me, but ugly? C'mon. If a girl who looked like her came up to you in a bar and started chatting, you'd be drooling inside as you wondered to yourself "why's this hot chick talking to ME?" :lol:

Maybe but she would be producing drool at twice the rate with that horses mouth she has.

She isn't ugly. She just isn't as attractive that everyone makes her out to be.

All that being said, I agree with the above mentioned comment, drop her. Her character wasn't all that impressive, plus it would give more screen time to CZJ. :up:

Supermallet 04-12-04 06:15 PM

Also, not only should they make her pregnant, they should make her have a crooked nose, and a wart with big hairs popping out of it. How else will she ever win another oscar? -rolleyes-

Jason beat me to it! I think the fact that there is going to be an Ocean's 12 (let alone the fact that there was a remake of Ocean's 11!) is more of an indicator as to what Hollywood has become.

chente 04-12-04 06:58 PM

I say give CZJ less wardrobe!

The Dude 04-12-04 07:07 PM

Who knew that CZJ would have time to make a movie between all of her T-Mobile commercials?

Which is why i think criticizing the state of Hollywood because a sequel to a highly successful remake is rather silly.

I agree.

Cathy Z is gonna eclipse Roberts in Ocean's 12. Especially since Cathy Z and George Clooney have such awesome onscreen chemistry.

And so spoke the guy whose name comes from "Star Wars" and who quotes "Matrix Revolutions" in his sig.
