She may have taken time off to have and raise her twin babies, but now Julia Roberts is a working mom.

“Charlotte’s Web,” her first feature film since the birth of her babies is out this Friday, and she is in the middle of filming “Charlie Wilson’s War,” and is set to appear in the upcoming film, “Eat, Pray, Love.” But that’s not enough work, apparently, for the “Pretty Woman” star.

E! Online reports that Roberts has signed on as the lead in “Happiness Sold Separately,” a film adaptation of the novel by Lolly Winston.

Roberts will star, and co-produce the upcoming film, which will be adapted to the screen and directed by Scott Coffey.

“I couldn’t get Julia out of my head when I was reading Lolly’s book. Elinor is such a strong, complicated woman, and bringing her to the screen required Julia’s integrity, empathy, humour and legs,” Coffey said about the decision to cast Roberts.
