I must admit that my opinion of Julia Roberts has gone south after all this. To see her spin-doctors trying to rewrite history now ala fog cheapens her relationship and her even more. She seems to be nothing more then the typical "I want it all now or I'll throw a tantrum" Hollywood type. It’s odd because I don’t enjoy her movies that much anymore. Her character bleeds into that of the characters she plays. I not like that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Good Post --
To me this may be a good example of how some people have a certain predisposition to cheat or at least not have any strong standards to not cheat & maybe live with the idea that "If it feels good, do it!" Perhpas many WS's -- this may not mean the person is bad, it could be they have this slant based upon a lot of circumstances that causes them to do certain things to give themslve a sense of self worth. To seek certain kinds of attention. Could it be like an illness of sorts, more than being a "bad" person -?
Now, to me, what is a little puzzling is that Julie is definately attractive, but not necessarily seductive - Very friendly, charming, humorous -- stylish & all, but not an imagine of lustfulness -- Is this what others see?
It is a bit mind boggling -- good example of what you see & believe, based on these observations may mean very little in terms of the real person!

Is it our own indivual upbringing or society in general that gives us these persepectives? Are we so nieve to think that people with secret, lustful lifes have hornes sticking out of their head & have this sinnister, lustful look - that if you look wholesome in many reagards, that is who you are? Just looking to be friendly & have innocent fun.
I know that in my case, the few people that know what my WW did, just have a hard time believing it becasue of who they think she is. We go to church, she is open & friendly, charming and all -Can dress on the sexy side, but not necessarily lustful -- I am sure many people would say, no, she could not have done such lustful, dispecable acts! Not dear, lovable, Cindy!
I never thought about it much, but do we have this perception that for a person to do some really selfish, lustful, nasty kinds of things they would have this nasty, ugly, selfish attitude and certain look and that we would not naturally like them? What is a common persona for this sinnister kind of person -- we are taught how wrong it is to make broad generaliztion, perhaps we recogonize this type of person, but rationalize that it would not be true. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Perhaps Julia had this kind of pre-disposition from childhood & that is an element that advanced her carreer or was she this shy, warming, but slightly nieve & innocent type and the Hollywood glamour tainted her?

Is this just me here? Do other people have this perception that we feel we should recognise the devil when we see him/her?
Intellectually we understand, but perhaps are we so pre-conditioned to make judgements based upon what we see? We have all heard, "Don't judge the book by it's cover;" but it is hard not to isn't it?

Could we take this a step further to say what you see may not necessarily mean it is true, like when a person has this sinnister, lustful imagine, say for example Pamela Anderson or to a slightly lesser degree, Mondona (I know I date myself here!) or how about Britany Spears? Janet Jackson?
What about Heather Locklear?
Playboy bunnies?
What do you think? Is it possible that these high profile seemingly lusftful ladies are not really the divias we imagine and do not engage in casual se*?!

Is this the preferred imagine in today's society for the "happening" Ladies?

Just curious, not accusing here! These ladies have mom's too I realize.

I think this is one of those situations where we as regular people give celebrities WAY too much credit. It's possible to be good (or even great) at your job, be a nice person and still be all screwed up when it comes to relationships. Clearly Julia is one such case.

Personally I'll bet the relationship is dead in less than 2 years.

As a former OW I tend to be sympathetic to OW, but in this case I feel really really sorry for the BS. It's bad enough to have your marriage end, have your husband cheat, but what a nightmare to have it all out in public like that! :vomit: Everwhere you turn there TOW is all glowing and talking about how great it is to be Mrs. so and so. Other famous people going on and on about how great is it that famous person X has found true love. Yuck, yuck and double yuck.

Hollywood is like any other business. You step on who you need to to get what you want and everyone grins at you on your way up. Now let her star fall 1 notch and the same people will say "she always was a *&$#@!" Such is life.

When Julia is ready to have a real and meaningful relationship with an appropriate partner then that's what she will have. Until then she'll keep her self busy just having her way.

Melanie Griffith still wins my award for biggest Hollywood Slut after 5 marriages and stealing Antonio from his bride.
