Upstate NY Newspaper Says Julia Roberts' Holes Get Better With Age
At the age of 51 Julia Roberts has now been in 53 feature films, appeared on countless TV shows, won three Golden Globes & one Academy Award, and has an estimated net worth of $140 million… so I never thought we’d have anything in common.
But then I stumbled upon The Post-Journal of Jamestown, N.Y. this weekend and was thrilled to discover the incredible actress & I aren’t as different as I figured.
All this time I thought only my holes were getting better with age. That only I had developed a perfect 3-speed-12-spoke with finer coloring than the ridges of Pete Davidson’s eyes. That it was just me who could now hold 11 of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Magazine jade kegel eggs in for a 30 minute jog. But apparently not. Julia Robert’s holes are also improving much like my own, like a fine wine or a favorite ‘ol busted up, worn in pair of jeans that have really taken a pounding. What can I say, Julia & I are the best around and…
Oh.
Maybe I shouldn’t have jumped the gun on this one, heh heh.
From Syracuse.com:
An Upstate New York newspaper dug itself into a hole over the weekend with an awkward headline typo.
“Julia Roberts Finds Life And Her Holes Get Better With Age,” The Post-Journal of Jamestown, N.Y., wrote on Saturday.
What followed was an Associated Press story about Roberts’ acclaimed performances in new movie “Ben is Back” and recently released Amazon series “Homecoming.” The 51-year-old Oscar winner is reaching out beyond romantic comedies like “Pretty Woman” and “My Best Friend’s Wedding” into a variety of new roles.
But the original AP story had a slightly different headline: “Julia Roberts finds life (and her roles) get better with age.”
“With age comes more complexity of possible parts,” Roberts told the AP in a new wire interview shared with publications nationwide. “You know, I’m happy and I have fun at home, so it would take a lot for someone to say: ‘Look, you can play this part where you’re happy and have fun.’ Well, I just do that at home!”
The Post-Journal’s spelling error went viral over the weekend, getting shared (and mocked) on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
As embarrassing as this has been for me, I can only imagine how the journalist & editor feel up at the Post-Journal. Hopefully everyone just has a good laugh over it & moves on. These things happen…
