Julia's Dream Job

After appearing as a cheating wife in Mike Nichols' Closer with Jude Law, Clive Owen and Natalie Portman, Roberts takes on her first acting gig since having twins: 12 days filming the Dave Matthews Band "Dreamgirl" music video. Why her? "I just needed the work," she jokes to PEOPLE. Adds Matthews, Roberts' longtime pal: "We thought we'd politely give her a hand up."

Broadway Debut

New mom Roberts stars for three months in a Broadway revival of Richard Greenberg's Three Days of Rain, making a reported $35,000 a week. "I'm just thrilled to my bones," she tells Playbill. However, critics aren't as excited. The New York Times finds Roberts "stiff with self-consciousness" but "so deeply, disturbingly beautiful that you don't want to let her out of your sight."

No More Babies for Julia

Roberts appears on the cover of Vanity Fair, where she tells the magazine that she's not planning on having more than the three babies she already has: "You only have so much energy and you want to put so much energy into each child. I wouldn't know how to have five kids. And they're a really good trio, these three." She can next be seen in the upcoming Mike Nichols drama Charlie Wilson's War, with Tom Hanks and Amy Adams.
