Julia Roberts wasn't always the movie icon we know her as today. During a recent episode of The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast, Roberts recalled the first time she realized she was becoming a household name. Of all the places this moment could have occurred, it turns out the actress was first made aware of her fame in a bathroom stall.

Roberts told the story of visiting her hometown movie theater. The area was incredibly familiar to herā€”she even used to work in the ice cream stand across the street!

"I went home to Georgia to visit my mom and my younger sister and we went to the movies."

But while visiting the bathroom in the theater, something unusual happened:

"It was after the movie was over and I was in the bathroom and there was a woman in the bathroom who said, 'Hey, girl in stall number one, were you in Mystic Pizza?'"




A bit taken aback, Roberts answered in the affirmative, and the woman proceeded to push something under the stall door, asking:

"Will you sign this?"




Realizing she had crossed a line into the public zeitgeist, Roberts kindly turned her down:

"'Uh, not right now.' And I thought, wait, this is different."




Ever since then, fans have reacted similar to Roberts' presenceā€”even famous ones! Aquaman star Jason Momoa geeked out over meeting Julia Roberts when they both appeared on The Late, Late Show with James Corden.

Duchess Meghan Markle has also expressed her admiration for Roberts, saying her movies had inspired her to become an actress. When made aware of this, Roberts responded happily:

"It's a great night for me! But I am just going to be floating on that all night!"

One thing is certain: after all these years, fans still love Julia Roberts!

When Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away in the fall of 2020, the United States panicked.

Namely, democrats and liberals were terrified by the prospect of another conservative judge on the United States Supreme Court, which already had a two-seat majority.

Then of course, there was the ongoing debate as to whether or not then-sitting president Donald Trump was entitled to pick another Supreme Court judge, as the 2020 presidential election was only weeks away.

Barack Obama was famously banned from appointing Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court owing to the fact that it was an election year, even though President Obama still had eight months left in his presidency.

Of course, RBG's death at age 87 also brought to the forefront an ongoing debate about whether there should be age limits for Supreme Court Justices.

Until we're in a situation, we'll never really know how we'll react.

I have been in this scenario, though.

Sex matters. And people rarely want to admit how much.

But sex isn't a lifetime guarantee.

It fades, as does love.

It's important to speak about it.

It can be a fixable situation.

A relationship without sex may not be the end of the world, but it's definitely a sign that something is off.
