Is Julia Roberts being a bitch to Jennifer Garner?

I may be totally off-base here. It may be because I’m reading this Us Weekly story through a hangover haze, and part of my mind is still reeling from last night’s premiere of Lost (should I write about it? I don’t know). But the way I’m reading this, it sounds like Julia Roberts was being a bitch to Jennifer Garner. Not in a major “I’ll cut you” sort of way, it’s just in the subtext, and from my own idea of what Julia sounded like when this exchange occurred. Here’s what happened:

Julia Roberts is eager for her Valentine’s Day co-star Jennifer Garner to regain a few Alias-era curves.

“You are quite slim,” Roberts, 42, joked to Garner at the Beverly Hills press conference for their romantic comedy, in theaters Feb. 12.

“I just finished nursing,” replied Garner, 37 — who welcomed daughter Seraphina in January 2009. “I’ll soon plump up again.”

Quipped Roberts, “We’ll stay tuned for that.”

Garner also poked fun about falling in love with her husband of four years, Ben Affleck. 37.

“Somewhere around the second kid I thought, ‘This is really turning into something!'” she said.

The busy parents (who are also raising Violet, 4) squeeze in romantic moments whenever they can, Garner said.

“You change the definition of romance,” she said. “Romance is romance, but in addition, romance can just be breakfast over the tops of heads and just getting through the day. You’ve got to find a way make that romantic.”

Okay, first off, Jennifer is very thin these days. I could conceivably see how that issue would come up during a press conference, even if the issue was brought up by Julia rather than a journalist. And it seems like Garner answered with one of her no-nonsense answers about breastfeeding, which, by the way, totally makes sense (to me). But then Julia has to interject: “We’ll stay tuned for that.” As if to say, “No one really cares, Jennifer, they only care about me and what I’m thinking, because I’m JULIA HAHA!” Especially since Julia (it seems) started the whole “You are too thin” conversation. Am I projecting? CB thinks Julia is just joking around, but the whole exchange just came across as bitchy on Julia’s part. But I am very hungover. Lost was so good!
