In other, less tragic, news Julia Roberts decision to convert to Hinduism has created turmoil at home. Roberts made the jump from Christianity to Hinduism while filming Eat Pray Love in India. She was so taken with the teachings on meditation and reincarnation that she even had her children renamed after Hindu gods and goddesses, and had the production blessed by a swami (hopefully not the same guy who predicted that Brad Pitt would dump Angelina Jolie to go back to Jennifer Aniston several years ago).
The children is where the trouble comes in. Julia's husband Danny Moder is Catholic, and is outraged that Roberts would take her children out of the fold and into some heathen religion. As a matter of fact the couple have had so many blow ups over it that sources are referring to it as a domestic holy war. Danny's dad and Julia's Mom aren't thrilled about Julia's new religious convictions either, not to mention the possible effects of full tilt veganism on her children's development. Young Americans don't grow up to be strong healthy linebackers on a diet of tofu & lentils!
Not that the concerns of family and friends would deter Julia - when she wants something she goes for it (That's how she got Danny). So sorting this mess out sounds like a job for Oprah Winfrey (who'd better step in before Bill O Reilly accuses Roberts of undermining Christianity).
Speaking of making an uproar, the trailer for Joaquin Phoenix new flick I'm Still Here is out, and here it is!
