Julia Roberts Celebrates 41st Birthday, Passes on Pretty Woman Sequel

Julia Roberts - who turns 41 today - celebrated Monday night with a star-studded dinner in San Francisco.

The actress - who also performed a reading of The World Of Nick Adams as a tribute to the late Paul Newman that night - joined husband Danny Moder and pals Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Bruce Willis, Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Robin Wright Penn and Billy Crystal at celeb chef Traci Des Jardins' Jardiniere restaurant.

Diners inside heard the group sing "Happy Birthday" to Roberts and Wilson (who turned 52 on Oct. 26), a source tells Usmagazine.com.

Can you believe these stars are in their 40s?

Roberts tells Extra her latest milestone has put her career in perspective.

Asked about plans for a Pretty Woman sequel, she joked, "No one wants to see an old hooker, do they?"

She still has spunk: At Monday's World Of Nick Adams reading, she showed off some pink locks.

What gives?

"Well, [my twin daughter] Hazel said, 'Mommy, I wish you had pink hair,' and I said, 'Well, I don't know if all of it would look nice,' so I just did a little patch," she tells Access Hollywood.

How is her son Henry (who was born in June 2007)?

"He's perfect ... gorgeous," she gushes.

Asked if motherhood is the best thing ever, Roberts says, "It is."
