Roberts Phones Stern Show!

Shortly before 10 AM, Baba Booey came into the studio and said that Julia Roberts was on the phone and that she wanted to clear things up.

"This whole things is not about us, apparently," Julie said after she and Howard greeted each other like members of the mutual admiration society.

Howard then asked her about the problem with the release. Julia told him that her people only wanted to know when her segment would be re-airing. "It's so everyone is aware," Julia said.

As the call progessed, Howard told Julia, "I heard you were crying this morning."

"It was an abrupt way to greet the day with someone calling and I said 'hello' and the first thing I hear is 'He's trashing you!'," Julia said.

She then apologized to Howard for the "misunderstanding" and thanked Robin for her support the night of the auction.

When Howard pressed her about eventually coming on the show, she was incredibly reluctant to commit to anything in the future. She said that she was going to film a movie in the California desert and that she'd be back in the Fall.

"When I come home and settle back in, I will call you and we'll figure something out," Julia insisted.

Before hanging up, Gary asked her if she could commit to coming to the show before Halloween. After some vacillating, she quietly agreed.

This reporter doubts that interview will take place this century.
