Valentine’s Day’ Sort-Of-Sequel Underway
Feb 8th
Little wonder Warner Bros’ New Line is in love with the Garry Marshall-directed Valentine’s Day because of its formula of cramming more than a dozen stars into a film and keeping the budget below $50 million. Now I’m told there’s a sort-of-sequel underway.

Julia Roberts’s Red-Hot Valentine’s Day Advice: Ladies, ‘Take Your Top Off’
Jan 31st
What is a relationship-challenged woman to do when Valentine’s Day is looming?
Ask Julia Roberts for advice, of course!
During a press conference Friday in Beverly Hills to promote Valentine’s Day, due out Feb. 12, Roberts sat on a panel with eight other stars from the film including Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Shirley MacLaine, George Lopez, Topher Grace, Hector Elizondo and director Garry Marshall.
When a woman asked for tips on how to “make him make me happy [on] Valentine’s Day,” Roberts made a face and said, “Wow. Can we at least dim the lights?”
As her costars laughed, Roberts, said, “Okay, wait a minute. How long have you been with your boyfriend? You have sex with him?”
As the woman hesitated, Roberts said firmly, “You’re the one that brought it up. You opened Pandora’s box! Where’s the problem? We can fix this.”
The woman said, “He keeps saying I’m a bad planner.”
Roberts’s solution: “Make a nice dinner reservation now, because that’s the biggest night out of the year – says the former hostess – have a nice glass of wine, and take your top off.”
She turned to her costar on her right and said, “I think it’s a recipe for success. Wouldn’t you say, Bradley Cooper?”

The two-hour telethon, called “Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief,” was shown around the world on television, online and mobile carriers, and featured more than 100 celebrities performing from New York, Los Angeles and London.
Julia Roberts joined the stage in Los Angeles recounting the story of one mother whose home collapsed trapping her two-year-old son under the remains. Roberts said the mother could hear her son’s cries for help and that she attempted to dig him out for 50 hours straight with her bare hands before, thankfully, a rescue team arrived on the scene. Roberts said the mother refused to give up and that “now it’s our turn to not give up.”
