September is traditionally the biggest month for advertising and editorials in fashion magazines, so how lucky for Elle  that Julia Roberts' highly anticipated chick flick, "Eat, Pray, Love," drops just in time for her to be their September cover girl. Elle released this first image of the issue, on newsstands August 11, and it includes an interview on the new film, her career and her family life.

Roberts waxes especially poetic on her and husband Danny Moder's kids. "The children became the shooting stars of him, of that thing we have," she tells Elle. "How lucky we are that we love each other so much that we burst into three pieces."

Profound, Julia, but what else did you get to wear for the shoot?Oh, there she is on a kitchen table (Eat!), looking good, if a little grumpy. The actress also reminisces about on-set shenanigans during the "Ocean's" films with George Clooney and Brad Pitt:

"Those boys! I was the only girl there. One day George Clooney put these giant potted trees in front of my door so that I couldn't get out to work. I pride myself on being punctual! You didn't want to leave your camera lying around, either, People were breaking into each other's rooms, taking them, and let's just say you didn't want your mom picking up your photos at Walgreens! Photos of unidentifiable body parts."
