Julia Roberts

[Deleted]

She looks very skanky in the DMB video, I hate the dreads on her.

The babies are cute though.

we doubled the citizenship(1) of our family

So, are you going for British, Russian or something really novel like Cambodian?

life became more recognizable than ever before

Before dual citizenship life was unrecognizable?

smelling of promise

I don’t think promise is what you’re smelling first thing in the morning.

babies aren't really born of their parents

I’ll have to break that one to my mom- “Guess what, you didn’t really give birth to me!” Does anyone have a spare flack jacket? Or a suit of armor I could borrow? Maybe I’d better look into a tank.

I could be kind and suggest that sleep deprivation was involved in this nonsense. I'm not kind.

I fully realize that first-time parents can be overly-dotty about their kid -- to the point where sane people might avoid them for awhile, just to get away from it. But a lot of the above is seriously overboard. JR seems to be getting on the Paltrow train where she believes she's discovered a whole new country -- heretofore unknown to any other woman in the world!

But I have to admit -- The "citizenship" being doubled business was cool.

Did she write this letter with the intention of it being read on Opie's show? Because that's really... I don't know -- something only a self-involved, narcissistic person would do.

Not her!

I doubt Julia wrote that letter anyway. She probably had some poor assistant write it while she stood around going, "Oh, put in a part about citizenship, or something like that. I dunno. Make it real mushy so I look good. And something about hopes and dreams, or something. Hurry up, finish it."

Definition of citizen:
- A person owing loyalty to and entitled by birth or naturalization to the protection of a state or nation.
- A resident of a city or town, especially one entitled to vote and enjoy other privileges there.
- A civilian.
- A native, inhabitant, or denizen of a particular place: “We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the human community” (Franklin D. Roosevelt).

Definition of member, among others:
- one of the persons who compose a social group (especially individuals who have joined and participates in a group organization); "only members will be admitted"; "a member of the faculty"; "she was introduced to all the members of his family" {italics mine}

See, if she had written, "doubled the membership of our family", it wouldn't be quite so pretentiously stupid.

[foxyepicurean]

how they begin each day all warm and sleepy, and smelling of promise.

Thank God for Julia. Until now I didn't realize that promise smells just like poo.

[magazinewhore]

Word to whoever said she looked like shit with the dreads. I know she just had babies, but the "hiding her abs with swaths of fabric" was a bit obvious as well.

Someone told me they heard on the radio this morning that Julia dumped Danny and moved with the kids to NYC...because Danny is a "dud" in bed. Anyone else hear this rumor today?

[zivvie]

If this is true, I will laugh for a very long time. "Man among men", indeed.
