Sept. 29, 2012, 3 a.m. The epic journey of Robyn Davidson, who walked the Australian desert with four camels and a dog, is to be recreated in a film. AFTER 35 years and a failed attempt by actress Julia Roberts to bring it to the big screen, the story of solo adventuress Robyn Davidson and her nine-month trek across Australia's central desert is to be made into a film. The ethereal Mia Wasikowska will play the intrepid Davidson, while Adam Driver, of the HBO series Girls , will take on the role of Rick Smolan, the brash former National Geographic photographer who documented Davidson's trek, in a $12 million production that will begin filming on October 8 in South Australia and the Northern Territory. In 1977 Davidson, with four camels and her dog, Diggity, set out to cross Australia's heartland for no better reason than she had wanted to find herself. She was mystified when her personal odyssey became the stuff of international headlines. Incorrectly reported as missing, s

Who knew that Karolina Kurkova has an unusual habit of rubbing lemon juice on to her face to achieve her glowing complexion, whilst Miranda Kerr slathers the tips of her hair with olive oil to keep her trademark locks enviably glossy? On top of that, we also discovered that many models swear by an at-home face mask made from honey and, the morning after the night before favourite, asprin! If that wasnt bizarre enough, this morning we have just heard that Julia Roberts credits her beautiful white teeth to a similarly strange ingredient; baking soda (yep, thats right!)

Why Julia Roberts Turned Down a Role From Barbra Streisand

This story first appeared in the Sept. 14 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Nobody says no to Barbra Streisand -- except Julia Roberts . Streisand offered the actress the role of Margaret Bourke-White in the 2013 film she'll produce and direct, Skinny and Cat , about the photographer's marriage to writer Erskine Caldwell . The movie looks to shoot in January, with Streisand directing and producing. It's her first turn behind the camera since 1996's The Mirror Has Two Faces -- 16 years, in fact. STORY: Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts to Star as Mother-Daughter in 'August: Osage County' And Roberts, about to start August: Osage County -- co-starring Meryl Streep about a family crisis where the father, played by Sam Shepard , is an alcoholic and leaves home -- turned her down flat, even though the two purportedly are friends. No telling if Roberts' dance card was full or, as she has said many times during the past few years, she just doesn't want to
