http://www.merryweatherjones.com/content/julia_roberts_makes_a_bad_choice Thu, 08 Feb 2007 10:11:24 GMT "Movies, actors and the bad choices they make."<br /> <br /> This is the slogan for The Merryweather Jones Alliance, and we'd like to think that the lion's share of the stories we report on faithfully reflect it. <br /> <br /> Occasionally, though, an especially juicy tibit comes along that doesn't just reflect the idea; it becomes it -- like John Travolta became Nicolas Cage in "Face/Off."<br /> <br /> Julia Roberts --who doesn't appear in many movies these days, which only emphasizes the very bad taste of this appearance-- is producing and is strongly considering starring in "Happiness Sold Separately," a romance which follows the story of a woman whose world is crushed when she discovers her husband has had an affair with another woman.<br /> <br /> That plot may, or, shockingly, may not ring a bell with Roberts, who expertly played the part of "the other in" in real life, when she had an affair with current husband Danny Moder, who at the time was a cameron man on one of her films and married to another woman.<br /> <br /> Roberts, who, like many celebrities, understandably lives in a bubble (to avoid a world full of hurtful criticism), might possibly <i>not</i> be aware of the irony of her pursuit of this project, as a producer or as an actor. But it is certainly a text book definition of a <b>bad choice</b>-- that sometimes ugly subtance that this website cheerfully deals in, so we tip our hats to Mrs. Roberts.
