    Which Famous Actress Was Booted Off People's 'Most Beautiful' Cover?

    When People Magazine publishes its yearly "Most Beautiful People" issue, the magazine spends a lot of time debating which star will land the coveted big cover photo. This year, it would have been Julia Roberts, who would be appearing on the "Most Beautiful" cover for the fourth time. But something happened between the cover decision and the magazine going to press: Sandra Bullock gave People an exclusive interview and photos revealing that she secretly adopted a baby boy in January.

    It must have been chaos as the magazine tried to figure out a fix (they went with a "special double issue" to give both stories their due). While the "Most Beautiful People" issue -- and any cover featuring Roberts -- is a consistent hit at the newsstand, the Sandra Bullock story, with its element of surprise and uplifting message is a surefire mega-seller. So poor Julia -- who is currently promoting "Eat, Pray, Love" -- was relegated to a small photo in the top right corner of the cover while Sandra and baby Louis took center stage.

    The famously down-to-earth Roberts most likely doesn't even mind the change of plans. In the interview accompanying her feature in the magazine, Roberts credits professionals for making her look good, and friend George Clooney praises her inner beauty, telling People: "There's a reason Julia is a timeless beauty, and it has nothing to do with her looks. It has everything to do with who she is.

    Other stars chosen as this year's "Most Beautiful People" include "Avatar"'s Zoe Saldana, "Iron Man 2"'s Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Aniston.

      Sandra didn't beat Julia Roberts on the list of most beautiful people. Julie is still number 1 on the list... Sandra just got the cover over Julia because of her exclusive interview.

      With that being said, I do think Sandra is prettier than Julia... but I do like them both.

      I'd rather be intimate with Jessica Simpson than with Roberts or Bullock.

      Because she won the Academy Award the year before, Julia got to read the nominees and winner for best actor the following year. When she opened the envelope, before she announced the winner, she actually said "My life is good. The award goes to Denzel Washington." Her life is good? Just how full of herself is she?

      Mr Ed is mad as Hell his daughter did not appear in people this year
    • Amber  •  1 year 11 months ago
      wow the jealousy in some of your comments... apparently people like her, otherwise she wouldn't have so much money and notoriety from an entertainment business that consists of everyday people watching her movies...

      JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS!!! That's all I gotta say.

      Julia Roberts, beautiful inside and out? Does anyone remember that she started dating a married man who left his wife and kids for her? Not beautiful. I mean, she could have anyone, but she has to break up or contribute to the break up of a family? Sarah said anyone's husband would leave their wife for Julia--yeah, she's a multi-millionaire--that might help. As far as I'm concerned, Sandra should replace her any day.

      RE: Roberts

      Julia Roberts is not beautiful at all, but I do think she is charismatic.

      I am sick of the same people getting it. Find every day people that are the most beautiful by how much they give and so and then I will read your article. I think like to see the most generous famous article every year. I would like to know who donates their time and money for good causes-Now THAT is beautiful!!!

      By the way. Nashville and all of it's surrounding cities are flooded and people are with out homes. Many people have lost every thing and need help. It is so bad that water has destroyed much of downtown Nashville and there is 10 feet of water in Opryland Hotel. Please donate to the Red Cross Relief at

    • Sopink  •  2 years 1 month ago
      Julie looks great and alot younger then some of the younger stars love her movies so no big deal if not on front cover Sandra B is great too and needs all the attention (positive) we can give as fans and people who know how it must feel too have her husband cheat on her

      She's pretty, was prettier when younger, but I don't think she's a good actress at all. She plays the same character over and over, and I think it's herself. There are even exact lines identical to each other in Mystic Pizza and Pretty Woman... For the most part, she does formula movies with exceptions (Mary Reilly - horrible!) She was good in Charlie Wilson's War, but it's just herself again with a wig. She does a great Southern accent, and why shouldn't she, she's from the South! So, you can't consider that acting...just more of being herself. She uses the same gestures and inflections in every single movie she's ever been in. She does not create a character, she just acts the lines as if it were happening to her real self with the same inflection and gesture I have seen her use in countless interviews. She's no Meryl Streep.

      Julia has always looked like a horse face to me and her laugh makes me cringe. Sandra is a gorgeous, girl-next-door type, who I believe is a good person down to the bone. She has been a lady through all the hype about her husband and I admire that. Wish them both the best, but Julia can fade away from acting as far as I'm concerned. Didn't like her in Pretty Woman or anything else I have ever seen her in.

      Why do they always want to put the exact same people on the most beatiful people/sexiest man alive/most influential people/etc covers year after year? You'd think the readers would get sick of the predictability.
