Julia Roberts Converting Into Hinduism!

Julia Roberts, star of the new movie "Eat Pray Love" which tells the story of a soul-searching character, is now a practicing Hindu.

Roberts, in an interview with Elle magazine, says she worships with her husband, cameraman Danny Moder, and their three children, People.com says.

The family, she told Elle, goes to temple together to "chant and pray and celebrate. I'm definitely a practicing Hindu." Roberts grew up in Georgia, the daughter of Christian parents.

Other celebrities who have practiced Hinduism include former Beatle George Harrison, author J.D. Salinger and NFL player Ricky Williams.

In her September cover interview, Roberts, 42, decries the use of botox and plastic surgery. "It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons," she says.

The star of "Pretty Woman" and "Erin Brokovich" also spoke about her relationship with her family. "You make these people and you love them and you want them around for a thousand years," she said about her three kids, 3-year-old Henry and 5-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel. "And you want to be there for them for a thousand years."
 

More over, Roberts has already named her production company Red Om Films," drawing on the mystical syllable Hindus say encompasses the universe.

Sandra Bullock The Highest Paid Actress In Hollywood

Hollywood's highest-paid actress is Sandra Bullock, Forbes magazine reported. The publication said, it looked at women's paychecks for films and television from June 2009 to June 2010, as well as their earnings from clothing lines and perfume and makeup endorsements, to compile the roster.

Bullock came in at the top of the Forbes list with $56 million, followed by Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz each with $32 million, Jennifer Aniston with $27 million and Sarah Jessica Parker with $25 million.

Bullock, 46, placed first not only starring in The Blind Side, which earned $310 million, but also for The Proposal, which raked in another $320 million.

Witherspoon, 34, hasn't been seen in a movie since 2008's Four Christmases (she also lent her voice to 2009's animated film Monsters vs. Aliens), she sits near the top of the list because of upfront pay days on two upcoming movies ''How Do You Know'' and the film adaptation of ''Water for Elephants''. To boot, Witherspoon also earns money as an "ambassador" for Avon.

No. 4 Jennifer Aniston made $27 million despite bombs such as Love Happens, which took in just $36 million worldwide. But the 41-year-old Aniston still gets money from Friends and recently launched her own perfume line.

In fifth place, Sarah Jessica Parker, mainly because she keeps benefiting from Sex and the City. The 45-year-old actress took in $25 million from the show's syndication, and this year's sequel Sex and the City 2 earned $280 million at the global box office. Her perfume line is also a big seller, the magazine reported.

Rounding out the top 10: Julia Roberts (No. 6, $20 million), Angelina Jolie (No. 7, $20 million), Drew Barrymore (No. 8, $15 million), Meryl Streep (No. 9, $13 million) and Kristen Stewart (No. 10, $12 million).

Jennifer Aniston's Dream of Becoming Barbra Streisand Fulflied

Jennifer Aniston has fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming Barbra Streisand. The actress has been transformed into her heroine for a new magazine photo shoot. The former "Friends" star has long idolized the singer/actress and she jumped at the chance to dress up as Streisand for the latest edition of Harper's Bazaar.

The shoot sees Aniston morphed into an uncanny likeness of the "Funny Girl star," and she admits the transformation felt complete when she was treated to a Streisand-style manicure. She says, "The nails were like, 'There she is!'"

Aniston also used her recent meeting with Streisand to talk about her directing ambitions. She is keen to don the director's hat ever since she directed a low-key short film ''Room 10'' in 2006.

''Streisand was wonderful and you could talk to her about anything. I had a long conversation with her about direction as I directed a short movie a couple of years ago and if I don't do it again soon, I'm going to burst out of my skin,'' she said.
