Actress Drew Barrymore called the situation surrounding David Letterman’s admission he had sex with women on his staff and the related alleged extortion attempt by a CBS producer “unfortunate.”
Barrymore, who flashed the late night star during a 1995 appearance on his show, joked, “I hope I didn’t start anything by jumping on his desk!”
She added, referring to The Late Show with David Letterman, “I’ve always had fun there. I feel, you know, it’s an unfortunate situation. I’m not one to comment on it, and I wish them the best, because that’s an unfortunate situation.” Read the rest of this entry »

‘I don’t know if I’m completely comfortable ever,” says actress Drew Barrymore. “Sometimes I can totally let go with complete abandon—sing and dance and run around and not care what people think about me. Still, there seems to be this ball of stress inside me that I can’t get rid of.”
Barrymore, 34, is about to take off on a national tour to promote her directorial debut, Whip It, a movie about women’s roller derby starring Ellen Page and herself, due out Oct. 2.
Her production company, Flower Films, has made 10 movies (50 First Dates, for example) and grossed nearly $900 million worldwide. If you take into account all the films she’s appeared in, the amount rises to more than $2 billion.
Some other things about Barrymore: Her lucky number is 22. The childlike twinkle in her grown-up eyes—the very essence of her screwball appeal—obfuscates a childhood sadness. She does not “tweet.”
Right now, Barrymore is shooting a new romantic comedy, and her trailer is a mare’s nest of food containers, opened books, Post-it notes, and tossed-off clothes. Barefoot and wearing a tie-dyed T-shirt and a favorite pair of jeans, she apologizes for the disarray. On the wall opposite her is taped a photograph of Buster Keaton, one of her heroes, whose own famously sad eyes seem to serve as both an inspiration and a warning.

Shoehorned into a banquette on the sun-drenched patio of a Mediterranean joint in Manhattan’s West Village, Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page can’t keep their hands off each other.
The two stars first buddied up on the boisterous set of Whip It, this month’s Roller Derby romp, which features Page as Bliss, a small-town pageant girl who trades in her tiara for ripped fishnets and elbow pads; it also marks Barrymore’s first time as director. From the looks of things, bonding appears to have continued unabated well after the movie wrapped: Barrymore, wearing safety-pin earrings and a nubby scarf that Page knitted for her (”I stitch and bitch,” the Juno alum explains), playfully holds hands throughout lunch with Page, who’s sporting a tissue-thin Rolling Stones T-shirt, smudgy black eyeliner, and a jacket with the sleeves pushed up to display an enviable calculator watch.

It wasn’t for the male relationships that Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore joined the cast of ‘He’s Just Not that Into You’, but it was for the “girl crushes” that the actresses gave their nod to star in the new flick.
In the film, both the stars feature alongside a star-studded cast, including Scarlett Johansson, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Connelly, and Ben Affleck.
However, both of them insist that they joined the cast because they wanted to build relationships with all these people.
“We all wanted to work together, we did this, we do other things. I love alumni, I love building relationships with people I admire and respect and am in love with,” Fox News quoted Barrymore as saying.
And Aniston agreed, saying: “I got the call, I got the script. Nancy (Juvovnen) & Drew (Barrymore, Producers) – that’s just a no-brainer. We have some good girl crushes going on.”
