Lily: Julia gave advice on nerves

Lily Collins has told how Julia Roberts helped allay her nerves - by telling her she would never banish them completely. The young actress plays Snow White alongside Julia in the Tarsem Singh film Mirror Mirror. She told Glamour magazine: "Julia was so lovely, and said, 'You know, no matter how much you've done this, you always have scenes that make you nervous, and psych you out the entire time'." Lily added: "I was hoping it would go away! But it was quite a relief to know nerves don't just come from being new, they come from passion and really caring about something." The actress, who also starred in Abduction, won Glamour's Breakthrough Woman Of The Year Award and attended the bash in central London. Picking up her gong, she told the audience that she was proud to have "portrayed a character that's all about inner beauty and not concerned about physical appearance".

It wants to be a live action Shrek with everyone adopting contemporary speech and attitudes, and Snow White (Lily Collins) becoming a Robin Hood figure fighting for justice with the seven dwarves as her merry men. Its an idea, I suppose and might have looked alright on paper but within moments of the film starting you can see how its going to drag on. The re-jigging of the fairytale has no thought behind it other than the desire to squeeze a bit more mileage out of familiar material. Though the dwarv

George Clooney, Julia Roberts Sue for Using Their Names

George Clooney and Julia Roberts have reunited to sue the pants off of two electronics companies . Sorry fans, no "Ocean's Thirteen" sequel here. Just two Hollywood stars looking to protect their intellectual property rights. Clooney and Roberts (suing under her real name, Julia Moder) filed suit against Beyond Audio, Inc. and Digital Projection, Inc. Apparently, both companies got the idea to use the stars' names and images to promote their high-end projectors and entertainment systems, according to the complaint. Beyond Audio does business out of Canada and Digital Projection operates out of Georgia. The duo we'll combine to call Robney (because Clooberts sounds like a bad kid's TV show character) have alleged four causes of actions against the companies. But do any of them hold water? Like most lawsuits, the answer is maybe. That is until a judge or jury gives their final say. The stars' complaint alleges privacy and publicity right violations, neglige

Independent woman: Julie Roberts strengthens her own identity

As dozens of limos sit idling, waiting in line to reach the red carpet at the New York City 2005 premiere of Walk the Line , a security guard approaches a black SUV and asks the chauffeur, "Who is being dropped off?" "Julia Roberts," the driver jokingly replies. The guard takes the bait. "We've got Julia Roberts in this car," he announces, thinking country singer Julie Roberts from South Carolina is really the Academy Award-winning actress. "Get her to the front of the line!" By the time the country singer, a five-foot-one blonde, steps from her car, it's too late to do anything but welcome her to the event. It's hard to make a name for yourself when you're from tiny Lancaster, South Carolina, let alone when your name is so close to someone else who's famous. Roberts has been aware of the similarity for as long as she can remember. It's kind of a not-so-inside joke. She recently posted a photo of herself on Instagram holdi
