New mum Julia Roberts has started telling fans to get used to not seeing her on the big screen - because she'll only be signing up for projects that blow her away.

The 37-year-old actress, who gave birth to twins at the weekend, insists she's planning a lengthy break away from the limelight to become a full- time mum and she'll only act if scripts are impossible to turn down.

She explains: "The script will have to blow me away. The babies will be a great factor, like anything that makes your life more interesting and more enjoyable. Scripts will have to continue to compete with the quality of my life."
