Starring just about everyone in Hollywood, Valentine's Day is out (when else) in February 2010, but that doesn't mean it's too early to promote it.
Watch Julia Roberts tease Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba seem a tad pathetic, Anne Hathaway make out with Topher Grace, Jessica Biel vent to Jamie Foxx, and more in the new trailer.
The Gary Marshall flick also stars Ashton Kutcher, Shirley MacLaine, Eric Dane, Jennifer Garner and Patrick Dempsey – to name a few!

He's not leaving Grey's Anatomy – but he's keeping the costume for a new movie.
Patrick Dempsey is joining the all-star cast of Pretty Woman director Garry Marshall's latest romantic comedy, Valentine's Day, which also features the filmmaker's original pretty woman, Julia Roberts, as well as Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Emma Roberts (Julia's niece) and Hector Elizondo (a Marshall staple), according to the Hollywood Reporter. Variety reports that Dempsey's Grey's costar, Eric Dane, will also appear.
The movie's multiple plots involve five various but connected stories in Los Angeles, where shooting started this week. Dempsey's role is that of an obstetrician dating Garner's character, who is unaware he's married. Ah, love.

Julia Roberts Among the Stars for Paul Newman's Charity Fundraiser
Originally posted 06/09/2009 02:50PM
Julia Roberts, Jerry Seinfeld, Robert Redford, Bill Clinton, Harry Connick Jr. and Kristin Chenoweth helped deliver some serious star power to Monday's Lincoln Center gala in New York on behalf of Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Camps and honor the beloved, late founder of the charity benefiting children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Among what they had to say about Newman, who died last year, was:
• "We've done a lot of these galas," Julia Roberts said, after doing a dancing kick line with kids who have attended the camps. "And I've never stood up without my buddy Paul Newman. It seems so much easier to sing and dance and make a fool of yourself when he's right next to you. He encourages fun, more than any person I've ever met. "
• "I went up to the camp and Paul had me eat my first oyster," Jerry Seinfeld said during a sidesplitting stand-up routine. "I had never had an oyster in my life. And he convinced me to eat one. And it was horrible and it was exciting. And I thought, this will be gross and I'll have a story: I had my first oyster with Paul Newman."

Julia Roberts Drops the F-Bomb on Tom Hanks
Originally posted 04/28/2009 10:00AM
The night was billed as a salute to Tom Hanks, but it was Julia Roberts who stole the show.
"It's late, and I'm paying my babysitter overtime, and I have to pee," a harried Roberts announced at Monday's 36th annual Film Society of Lincoln Center Gala Tribute, where the Philadelphia and Forrest Gump double Oscar winner was presented the new Chaplin Award. Keeping her tribute as brief as possible, Roberts told Hanks, "So, everybody f---ing likes you."
Assessing his 2004 movie The Terminal, in which he played an Eastern European trapped in Immigration at J.F.K., Roberts said, "That movie about you and the airport and the accent was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn't know. I love you, but I didn’t know … and I'm wearing the same f---ing dress tonight as your publicist."

Julia Roberts: Return to Red Carpet Is Scary
Originally posted 03/11/2009 10:55AM
Julia Roberts knows how to work a red carpet – but even an Oscar-winner can get rusty.
Roberts, who stars with Clive Owen in Duplicity, was taken aback by the size and enthusiasm of the crowd gathered for the film's London premiere on Tuesday.
Asked how it felt to be on the red carpet after being a mostly stay-at-home mom for awhile, she said, "Just terrifying, awful. It's scary out there – but it's nice."
She even admits feeling nervous about her fashion choices. "I've put on three different outfits to come here tonight, three!"

Julia Roberts: Clive Owen Is No George Clooney Prankster
Originally posted 03/08/2009 11:40AM
Julia Roberts says there's an ocean of difference between working with Clive Owen and her other recent costars, George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
She didn't have to watch her back.
"What a relief. I didn't have to check the toilet for anything or the light bulbs or the phone," she says of the on-set pranks by her Oceans Twelve pals. "It was just good old-fashioned friendship."
And fun. Roberts, 41, returns to the big screen in the romantic caper Duplicity, in theaters March 20, reuniting with her Closer costar Owen. She says Owen, 46, makes her laugh constantly, which helped sparked instant chemistry onscreen.
"We have a similar sense of humor," she says. "Our list of priorities in our personal lives are not different. We are both happily married with families and lead a pretty normal, unaffected existence within in this odd universe of show business that we've both chosen to go into."

Julia Roberts's Kids Keep Her from Ever Being Bored
Originally posted 02/17/2009 06:30AM
As a fulltime stay-at-home mom for the past year, Julia Roberts says life outside the Hollywood spotlight has been anything but uneventful – thanks to her kids with husband Danny Moder.
"I will never be bored again," the Oscar winner, 41, tells Allure for its March issue.
"Danny and I talk about, 'What did we do with all the time we must have had?' " she says. "Because you don't recognize it as such, until you have all these little … time thieves running around your house."
