Dog days of summer: Julia Roberts takes a stroll with her pup in Malibu

Julia recently returned to LA after a stint in Rome, where she was filming the Tony Gilroy directed thriller Duplicity.
The film, which follows two corporate spies with a romantic past, also stars Clive Owen, who appeared alongside Julia in the 2004 film Closer.
Despite taking time out from Hollywood to raise her three children, Roberts has retained much of her box office pulling power, with her next release expected to be no exception.
She recently came in third place on Forbes magazine's annual Ultimate Star Payback League, which rated Hollywood's best value-for-money stars.
She came in just behind Vince Vaughn and Tobey Maguire, with Brad Pitt hot on her heels at number five.
