Julia Roberts hates shooting love scenes for movies, and will go to any length to avoid kissing her co-stars.

The Oscar winner has locked lips with a string of hunky co-stars, including Richard Gere in Pretty Woman, Hugh Grant in Notting Hill and George Clooney in Oceans Eleven. However, the married mother-of-three insists she loathes faking real affection, and relies on camera trickery to escape kissing her onscreen love interests.

Roberts tells Us Weekly, "I try to avoid it at every turn. I've kissed through sheets; I've come up with every trick in the book, because I just thi...

Julia Roberts was shocked when she first read the script for her new movie Duplicity - because it called for her to get naked. The actress has a partial nude bedroom scene in the film - and had to tone down writer/director Tony Gilroy's original vision.

She explains, "I thought, 'Y'know, just remember you've hired me... I'm, like, the G-rated actress.'"

But the saucy scene wasn't the only uncomfortable moment for the Pretty Woman star - she had to kiss co-star Clive Owen while her cameraman husband Danny Moder looked on.

She adds, "It's awkward... When you're not kissing your...

Ever wonder what your wife is talking about when she mentions "that scene" from When Harry Met Sally? Or why your female co-workers start giggling when they refer to Bob in cubicle 8 as "Mr. Big"? Do you feel you're missing out on some cornerstone of pop culture, but just can't bring yourself to sit through all those tear-jerkers with a box of Kleenex and a carton of Jamoca Almond Fudge?

Well fear no more, because we've done the couch work for you - with this quick reference guide you'll never again be left scratching your head during a heated Julia Roberts/ Sandra Bullock debate.

Julia Roberts is grateful to have shared screen time with prank-loving actors Richard Gere and Mel Gibson because their onset antics gave her early insight into the male psyche.

Roberts was in her twenties when she first appeared alongside Gere in 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman, and with Gibson in their 1997 film Conspiracy Theory.

And the movie star, who is now married to cameraman Danny Moder, admits that developing a platonic bond with the leading men helped her gain confidence around the opposite sex.

She tells Allure magazine, "Early on, I worked with Richard Gere and...

Julia Roberts is happiest as a full-time mother - because her three children keep her so busy, she's "never bored."

The Hollywood actress has taken a step back from the limelight in recent years to raise her kids with husband Danny Moder; four year old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and Henry, 20 months. Roberts has made just one movie a year since 2007, but she insists she doesn't miss life as a high-profile star - because she simply doesn't have time to think about it.

She tells Allure magazine, "I will never be bored again. Danny and I talk about, 'What did we do with all the tim...

Ailing Patrick Swayze is the king of romantic movies - his hit film Ghost has topped a poll of the best love films ever, with Dirty Dancing coming in second.

The stereotypical "Chick Flick" is a movie geared towards the ladies. You drag your boyfriends to see them with you, cry your eyes out and believe that there really is a fairy tale ending to every story. There are some great chick flicks out there that even guys don't mind watching…don't be embarrassed! Yet, there are a few that even chicks don't like!

Julia Roberts has laughed off rumours of a sequel to her 1990 hit movie Pretty Woman, insisting at 41 she's too old to play a prostitute.

Roberts' role as a 'hooker with a heart of gold' alongside Richard Gere catapulted her into Hollywood's A-list.

But she has no plans to return to the streets of Los Angeles, telling TV show Extra at a charity event in California on Monday night, "No one wants to see an old hooker! Do they?"

Who hasn't heard the infamous rumor about Richard Gere and the gerbil? Is it true that Michael Jackson sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber? Did Tom Cruise really use sperm specimens of late Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard to father Suri?

These are simply a taste of some of the wacky, tacky and downright bizarre celebrity rumors that have circulated the mill at some point. So which of these celebrity myths can be debunked and which hold a grain of truth?

This mini-season of The Hills came to a close last night, and my grade would be a C+. The highlights of this season - Kelly Cutrone, Kelly Cutrone, and more Kelly Cutrone. The lowlights - Stephanie Pratt, Spencer Pratt, the complete Barbie-fication of Heidi, and LC's lackluster turn as a jobless, student-less, sometimes heartless reality celeb.

It's almost as if the Paris Hilton syndrome infected the "Hills" stars this mini season. Symptoms of the Paris Hilton syndrome include a complete lack of purpose, no will or drive to succeed, and an especially cavalier attitude towards life...

Ever seen a movie with some little-known or vaguely recognizable actor and then had to ask yourself, 'Who WAS that person?' Or have you seen an actor in a movie that suddenly made you see that person in a whole new light? For some actors, all it takes is one role to make their movie careers flourish. Following is a list of some of our favorite career-making performances in no particular order:

It's probably one of the most obvious "career launching" roles of the last 30 years, but no compilation of career-defining movies would be complete without i...

There's the quintessential romantic comedy, and then there's the romdramedy. Similar to a dramedy (in which there is an equal balance of humor and serious content), a romdramedy combines comedy and drama with that mushy thing we call romance.

This is not a list of the best films over the past 20 years. Rather it is a list that gives preferences to those films that best combine all three elements - romance, comedy and drama.

Films like Magnolia and The Matrix were barred from competition, while films like Down with Love were considered (however, that one didn't make the cut)....

Actress Katherine Heigl has hit back at critics who have hailed her as the next Julia Roberts, insisting the comparison is "insulting" to the Pretty Woman star. Heigl found fame starring in TV medical drama Grey's Anatomy, but has since found Hollywood success in movies like 2007's Knocked Up.

Her film outings have been well-received and critics have been quick to compare her to Roberts, who also starred in a number of romantic comedies throughout her career. However, 29-year-old Heigl insists she is not out to copy anyone else's acting style.

She says, "I can't help but feel th...

Well "Hills" fans, we've made it through a barren, frigid winter, and now spring has delivered us unto Paris, home of "The Hills" season premiere. Since we've last seen Lauren and Co., our heroine has purchased a $2.3 million home, provided some extra bedrooms for her best girls Lo and Audrina, and launched a global fashion line. Heidi has graced the cover of Maxim and US Weekly, with and without Spencer, and Audrina's "artistic" nude photos surfaced. Ahh, stars. They're just like us.

Jessica Simpson has slammed claims she has signed to star in a remake of movie Pretty Woman. A tabloid claimed the actress had agreed to take on the role of a prostitute, played by Julia Roberts, in the 1990 original.

It quoted a source revealing, "This one's got 'hit' written all over it. Her father (and manager) Joe has been telling anyone who will listen that she's the next Julia."

But Simpson's publicist has told TheCelebrityTruth.com, "There is no truth to this. Jessica is in Nashville recording a country album."

Actress Julia Roberts has vowed never to strip for a film role again - because it's not 'real' acting. The 40-year-old Oscar winner - who won legions of male fans after her role as a scantily-clad prostitute in Pretty Woman - believes actresses who shed their clothes for films are not staying true to their craft.

She tells OK! Magazine, "I wouldn't do nudity in a film. To act with my clothes on is a performance. To act with my clothes off is a documentary." The mother-of-three - who is mother to twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, three, and a six-month-old son, Henry - famously had to be coax...

Julia Roberts felt "stupid" during a recent press junket for new movie Charlie Wilson's War because she was giving interviews in the same hotel where she famously frolicked with Richard Gere in Pretty Woman.

Roberts wasn't amused to find herself in a suite at Los Angeles' Beverly Wilshire Hotel - the same establishment where her prostitute character in Pretty Woman is courted by rich businessman Gere.

She said, "I don't know why they picked this hotel. I've never done interviews here before. I never come here at all. I feel stupid. I can hear the 'Pretty Woman' soundtrack in my ...

Actress Julia Roberts knew she was destined to marry Danny Moder from the moment they met - because her body told her so. The 40-year-old began dating the then-married Moder in 2000 on the set of her movie The Mexican and insists she "just knew" the cameraman would eventually become her husband.

The Pretty Woman star says, "It's the most correct decision I've ever made in my life - not that it was even a decision, because it just overtakes you. My whole body knew: 'Yes.' He's just my favorite guy."

Roberts wed Moder in 2002 and they have three kids together: two-year-old twins H...

Hollywood actress Julia Roberts is desperate to work alongside Johnny Depp in a movie - because she thinks they look alike. The Pretty Woman star believes she and Depp have a great chance of landing a brother and sister role because of their stark facial similarities.

She says, "I would like to work with Johnny Depp. I've known him for a long time. I think he's so interesting, and I think we look alike in a funny way. Johnny Depp and I will play brother or sister or something."
