Ocean’s Twelve Troubles?

Sources say that Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones, the two female stars of Ocean’s Twelve, have feuded nonstop during filming.
Trouble on the set? Roberts reportedly tried to have Zeta-Jones dropped from the cast of Ocean’s Twelve before filming even began. During and after filming of the first Ocean’s movie, Roberts was the cast sweetheart surrounded by her own "boys club" of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, and Matt Damon. Apparently, Roberts has felt threatened since the addition of the Welsh beauty, who is rumored to be extremely difficult on the set. Roberts resents that fact that Zeta-Jones is moving in on her territory.

The two have reportedly fought over who gets the most flattering costumes. It was reported that Roberts’ character was supposed to be seven months pregnant in the sequel. Sources say that after seeing Zeta-Jones’ glamorous wardrobe, Roberts demanded script and costume changes. Of course, Roberts' requests were granted and she will not appear in maternity clothes for the movie. Sources on the set say things have gotten so bad between the two beauties that they can barely be in the same scene together. Roberts has given Zeta-Jones the cold shoulder since they began filming.

The two have worked together in the past on America’s Sweethearts, and there were not many rumors surrounding any on-set fights between the actresses. It was reported that co-star Brad Pitt’s wife Jennifer Aniston showed up on set and Pitt wanted to give her a small part in the movie. Despite the fact that most of the crew and director Stephen Soderburgh loved the idea, Roberts and Zeta-Jones both nixed it very quickly. Apparently it is bad enough that they can’t get along, but to add another female to the mix would be a recipe for disaster. Yikes! Put the claws away, ladies!
