Julia puts career on hold for kids

Pregnant Hollywood star Julia Roberts says she is planning to take a break from making movies when her twin babies are born.

The Oscar-winner, who is expecting a boy and a girl in early 2005, is determined not to let her Hollywood career interfere with the longed-for motherhood.

"I'm not planning anything," Roberts told American magazine Newsweek. "But, hell, you just kind of play it as it comes. I'm allowed to do that, aren't I?"

The twice-married actress also revealed her bump is beginning to show.

"It does kind of happen overnight. You wake up and go, 'Oh my God!' I can't imagine how big I'm going to get in the next three months," she said.

Roberts, who is married to cameraman Danny Moder, became pregnant after undergoing in-vitro fertilisation.

She's currently filming heist sequel Ocean's Twelve in Italy opposite George Clooney and will star in Closer with Jude Law this coming December.
