I've got no big love for Julia Roberts - but there's no denying a certain charm to her mouthiness, especially when she's tipsy! Julia, her high-powered agent, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson stopped to chat with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush - and hijinks ensued when the stars took his network to task. Tom lead the charge by chastising NBC, in reference to the massive fallout over the Jay Leno/Conan O'Brien debacle. Julia chimed in - it was painful for Billy, but hilarious for us. It's refreshing when big stars share their opinions, instead of being hemmed in by political motivations. Details, via Evil Beet:
[Billy Bush scored an interview with Tom Hanks and Julia
Roberts on last night's Golden Globes red carpet, but the two A-listers had an
agenda. After Julia got her obligatory "Happy Birthday, Michelle Obama!" out of
the way, Tom realized that he was being interviewed by an NBC reporter. NBC.
You know, that network that's been in the news for sucking and being jerks a
lot lately. "Yeah, we got great information from another network", says Tom.
Julia took a moment to realize what he meant by that and then says "Another
network? Yeah! NBC, you guys are in the toilet right now." Bush laughed it off,
but you could tell he was unprepared to be sass talked by Tom Hanks and a
seemingly buzzed Julia Roberts. Pretty funny.]
Will the high-profile slap on the wrist help get NBC in line?
