New York, April 29 : Julia Roberts paid a heartfelt tribute to her pal Tom Hanks - including some F-jibes - at a Film Society of Lincoln Center event honouring the actor.

According to Us magazine, the `Pretty Woman' star sent the crowd, including Charlize Theron, into a laughter riot with her colourful speech.

"Alright well, it''s late and I''m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee," the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

"So Tom, everybody f-----g likes you. All my bits are gone.

"Listen, I had lunch today with Rita (Hanks'' wife), and her t--s were here (motioned high) and her waist was here (motioned small) and her a-- was like that (motioned high), so what can I tell you that''s new? Tom Hanks, what the f--k?" she added.

The actress further took a dig at her friend's movies, such as his 2004 film, "The Terminal."

She said: "You in the airport with the accent? It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn''t know. I love you, and I didn''t know what to do, really. God, I''m wearing the same f-----g dress tonight as your publicist!"

She ended saying: "Listen, I''ve got to get home. But this much we know ... I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you." (ANI)
