Julia Roberts lashed out at reporters at a press conference promoting her new movie Mona Lisa Smile when she was asked if she was pregnant.
Journalists, knowing that Gwyneth Paltrow was pregnant, asked the Notting Hill actress if she, too, was with child, as she looked pale and tired.
Roberts snapped, "I have the flu and I've been throwing up for seven days! So if I seem slightly less than enthusiastic, I'm trying to keep it together."
One journalist present said: "Julia was really upset by the question and there was no need to be - it was harmless. A lot of us left thinking perhaps she protested too much."
