She's just a normal Pretty Wo-mom: Julia Roberts takes break from filming for dressed down day with her twins

Pretty wo-mom: Julia Roberts enjoyed a day with her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus out in L.A. yesterday
She has been busy shooting her latest film portraying the Evil Queen in Snow White recently but yesterday was family time for the Pretty Woman star.

Julia Roberts, 43, spent the day hanging out with her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus out in L.A. yesterday.

The mother of three had left her youngest Henry at home as she took the six-year-olds out for the day.

Julia looked like any other mother dressed in a pair of jeans, an oversized blue shirt and a pair of plimsoll shoes.

The actress had also donned a pair of sunglasses and her hair loose showing off blonde highlights.

And while Julia is no doubt used to having ‘people’ to pick up after her she was carrying her twins toys in one hand and holding onto Finn with the other.

Hollywood's highest paid actresses

Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker were the highest paid actresses of last year.

The Hollywood beauties tied at the top of the list, compiled by Forbes magazine, earning $30 million each.

 Angelina Jolie: Angelina's earnings come mainly from her starring roles in two big budget action movies, Salt and The Tourist, the latter of which earned $280 million at the box office.

 Sarah Jessica Parker: Meanwhile, SJP made most of her money from the series Sex And The City, both from TV re-runs and the second movie, which took $290 million at the box office.


Jennifer Aniston & Reese Witherspoon: Friends star Jennifer Aniston shared third place with Reese Witherspoon, each earning $ 27 million.

Aniston – who has experienced a string of flop movies, including 2008's Management, which generated less than $1 million – took home high pay cheques from The Bounty Hunter, which made $136 million and Just Go With It, which was the fourth-highest grossing film of her career to date.

 Julia Roberts: In fifth place is Julia Roberts with a reported income of $20 million in the last financial year.

 Kristen Stewart: Sharing the fifth place with Julia Roberts is Twilight Saga actress Kristen Stewart, also earning $20 million in the last financial year.

 Katherine Heigl: Forbes magazine calls her the queen of rom-coms who can still earn $12 million per picture. Katherine Heigl is at number 7 with an income of $19 million last year.

 Cameron Diaz: Still ranked among the most-popular actors in Hollywood, Cameron Diaz ranks at number 8 earning $18 million last year.


 Sandra Bullock: Sandra was last seen in The Blind Side which won her an Oscar, with no releases last year. Yet she ranks at number 9, earning $15 million last year.
 Meryl Streep: The award-winning actor ruled with her performances in Julia and Julia and It's Complicated. She'll return later this year as Margaret Thatcher in the biopic, The Iron Lady. Meryl Streep rounds off the top 10 list earning $10 million last year.

'Larry Crowne' is the king of nice

Julia Roberts, left, and Tom Hanks turn the hard knocks of life into an upbeat fantasy in "Larry Crowne."
"Larry Crowne" is such a twinkly and likable movie, you wish it were a better one. Starring the twinkly and likable Tom Hanks (who also directed and co-wrote, with Nia Vardalos), it's the story of the nicest guy in the world.

Larry Crowne, who's in his 50s, spent time in the Navy before taking a sales job at a big-box electronics store. He works there for many years, making friends and helping customers — and then he's summarily fired, ostensibly for not having a college degree. Underwater on his mortgage and reeling from the financial free fall of a bad divorce, poor sweet Larry, blinking in the California sunshine, is facing a grim future.

That's the first few minutes of the movie, and they aren't promising; though Larry's troubles are certainly reflective of today's economic climate, they're presented so cutely that nothing seems real. Luckily, "Larry Crowne" the movie quickly remembers that it's a fantasy, and things immediately pick up for Larry Crowne the character: In short order, he acquires a scooter, finds a new job and signs up for community college. There, he meets a) a lovely and age-appropriate speech professor (Julia Roberts) with a bad marriage and a drinking problem, and b) a lovely and age-inappropriate fellow student (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) who adopts Larry as a sort of pet, giving him a makeover and recruiting him into her ever-smiling scooter gang. (If you're not sure which woman he ends up with, you haven't seen enough movies.)

In time (not much), things work out so nicely that "Larry Crowne" could well cause a flood of middle-age men to sign up for community college, in hopes of meeting dewy young women who'll put them in cuter shirts. Most of the characters lack nuance — particularly Roberts' no-good husband, played with a nearly mustache-twirling sneer by Bryan Cranston — and the plot jerks along awkwardly. We learn, pretty quickly, that nothing terrible's going to happen to Larry, so it all becomes a matter of waiting for Roberts' character to stop being pissed off.

But the movie has just enough funny lines and amusing casting choices (George Takei has a ball as a pompous economics professor) to make it all go down pleasantly, and Hanks' sweetly brash charisma could fill an entire multiplex of movies and then some. You find yourself rooting for Larry, though he doesn't need it — nice guys, in this movie, always finish first.

Will Natalie break the curse?

A study conducted by the University of Toronto has found that actresses who win an Academy Award have either broken up with their husbands, boyfriends or lovers just months after winning.

And if the new research is to be believed, then actress Natalie Portman, who is the hot favourite for the top award for her performance in ''Black Swan'', could end up being the next to feel the curse, the Daily Telegraph reported.

The study showed that Best Actress winners have a 63 percent chance of ending up divorced, and that winners were proven to be 1.68 times more likely to head to the divorce court than those who were nominated but didn''t take home the gold.

Betting agencies are already giving punters the chance to bet on the likelihood of the newly engaged and pregnant Portman, 29, succumbing to "the curse".

Sports Interaction is just one US site who will pay 1.50 dollars if the actress and her fiancee Benjamin Millepied remain together officially until December 31, 2012.

Stars who were affected by the Oscar''s curse are:

Sandra Bullock 2010 - Her five-year marriage to Jesse James ended just days after her Oscar win for ''The Blind Side'' when she discovered he had been having an affair with a tattoo model.

Kate Winslet 2009 - A year after winning the Best Actress award playing a concentration camp guard in ''The Reader'', Winslet''s marriage to director Sam Mendes ended.

Reese Witherspoon 2006 - Witherspoon accepted the Best Actress award for her role in ''Walk the Line''. By the end of the year, she had left her husband and father of her two children, actor Ryan Philippe.

Hilary Swank 2005 - Swank split from husband Chad Lowe, whom she had called "my everything" during her acceptance speech, a year after winning for her role in ''Million Dollar Baby''.

Charlize Theron 2004 - As Theron accepted her Oscar for ''Monster'', she said of long-time boyfriend Stuart Townsend: "I have to thank my incredible partner in crime. You are one hell of a partner to have. Thank you for standing by me."

The couple ended their nine-year relationship in January 2010.

Halle Berry 2002 - Berry became the first black woman to win an Oscar for ''Monster''s Ball'' and a year later she left husband Eric Benet.

Julia Roberts 2001 - Roberts took home the Oscar for ''Erin Brockovich'' and thanked boyfriend of four years Benjamin Bratt in her speech. Three months later they parted ways.

Gwyneth Paltrow 1999 - Paltrow won her best actress Oscar for ''Shakespeare in Love'' and at the time was reportedly deeply in love with Ben Affleck. The couple split two months later.
