DESPITE selling $7 million worth of tickets for "Three Days of Rain" on Broadway, Julia Roberts' star may be dimming. The Pretty Woman was in negotiations to be the new face of a Christian Dior perfume that would debut in 2007 - but we hear Dior unexpectedly pulled out of the talks. "Not so interested anymore," is all a source would say. Dior declined to comment. An insider said, "We are looking at lots of famous women to maybe be the face." Meanwhile, a misguided fan should learn how to spell Roberts' name. Last week, a theatrical source told us, "A fruit basket came for 'Julie Roberts, Bradley Cooper and Paul Rudd.' [Director] Joe Mantello laughed and said, 'Yes, "Three Days of Rain" starring that wonderful country-western star Julie Roberts!' " While some say Roberts' bristled when Mantello called her "Julie" again, the set source sniffed, "That's the only time he called her that." Roberts' rep declined to comment.
