Enquirer: Julia Roberts & Danny Moder used to smoke weed & play Halo

Julia Roberts is the cover girl for this week’s National Enquirer, and it’s an old-school one. Personally, I don’t really think people still care about what’s happening in Julia’s private life, now or twenty years ago, but maybe I’m wrong. Anyway, if any of this is true, it’s pretty juicy and pretty funny. According to The Frisky’s coverage of the cover story:

The Enquirer has the inside scoop on “Julia Roberts’ Bizarre Double Life,” claiming that drugs and physical abuse runs in her family. A source says that Julia “used to smoke a lot of pot” and she would get stoned with husband Danny Moder and play Halo.

Apparently, Julia’s childhood home was raided and cops found drugs inside a hollowed-out bible. Roberts’ brother, Eric, claims that their mother “beat the hell out” of him for years and friends claim that Julia shares a similar temperament and often takes it out on her relatives or Danny, most recently screaming and humiliating him after photographers tried to get a picture of them together.

Of course it’s likely that this is all bullsh-t. But part of me really hopes and dreams that Julia did in fact spend several years getting high and playing Halo. That one image alone makes me really, really like her. As far as the abuse stuff – eh. I have no idea, honestly, why Eric Roberts and Julia are no longer in each other’s lives, but I’ve always bought the theory that it had something to do with how Eric treated Emma’s mother, and I think Eric has some demons. Of course, it would be easy to believe that Julia is a temperamental piece of work, because that’s already my image of her. But I doubt she abuses Danny, for real.

Here are some new photos of Julia in Japan yesterday (or tomorrow…?). The time difference gets me. I have to admit, I kind of like this muumuu.
