Is Drew Barrymore Laughing All The Way To The Altar?
Posted by Molly Friedman at 3:50 AM on March 1, 2008
Putting Drew Barrymore's last relationship with Fab from The Strokes aside, the girl does seem to fancy the funnymen (Tom Green, Zach Braff, and recent boytoy Justin Long among them). But after seeing beach pics reminiscent of those painfully staged Heidi and Spencer photos, we're wondering if all this gooeyness means that yet another Drew Dating Disaster is in store. Among the comments made in her cover story from this month's Vogue: "My cheeks hurt, I'm so happy." Long's gushy response? "She makes my cheeks hurt too." Plus, Drew is apparently fond of calling him her "gentleman caller" (nice to see someone is still reading Tennessee Williams). And then there's the kicker: as Oprah's website reveals, Drew and Justin are set to make a "worldwide announcement" on Monday's show...
Sounds like bad news to us. Of course, this forces us to dredge up the painful memories of that gleeful marriage proposal that Tom Green made on SNL in 2000, which ended up with Drew playing the part of runaway bride. Another thing we noticed? All these lesser-famous paramours of Drew seem to have one thing in common: after the inevitable breakups, their star power coincidentally takes a well-timed leap...
For example, Fabrizio Moretti had always been "the hot one" among The Strokes, but after hooking up with Drew, he earned mag profiles and spreads, and raging hordes of new female fans. Then there was Tom, who we suspect may not have even been asked to host SNL if it weren't for the potential presence of Drew in the audience. And Long? He's gone from That Annoying Mac Guy to Next Big Thing ever since word spread that the two had met and fallen for each other on the set of He's Just Not That Into You. We can only pray that this "worldwide announcement" involves not yet another live proposal, but the very first live break-up on national television.

Dear Pretty Girls Everywhere,
Stop wearing bandeau tops. They make nice boobs look like fried eggs nailed to your chest.

Considering all the gal has been through, Drew could be a big hot mess and we'd understand. Could care less about the Oprah announcement, but congrats. Maybe it is another Barrymore!
@Tiger_Tanaka: I thought the DS response would be -
Yes, Dude

I saw them in line at Whole Foods the other night, stocking up on Ginko Biloba pellets and Tofutti Cuties. You could feel the love vibration.

Hope it's not a wedding announcement - darlin' D has two divorces under her belt at 33. As The Countess De Lave (The Women) said, "Dare I risk another?" Oh, l'amour, l'amour!
Re: Long - I liked his geeky awkwardness in Ed.

I want Drew to be happy. He seems like she'd be fun to have beers with and dish about her Charlie's Angels co-stars.

OK, lovebirds, just so you know: If you announce your engagement on Oprah and shove your personal life down my throat, you lose any and all rights to invoke "please respect our privacy". Thanks and good luck.

Ha, you know I commented before I read "We can only pray that this "worldwide announcement" involves not yet another live proposal, but the very first live break-up on national television."
Sour grapes!

Deadspin response: My cheeks hurt too. My ASS cheeks!
Gawker response: I don't understand why celebrities think the American people would care about their relationships at all. These types of displays are absurd. What is wrong with this country?
Jezebel response: She is so freaking hott! They are wayy cute! Congrats, Drew!

I'm betting the announcement has nothing to do with her or his personal life. It will be something either charitable, or film/television related. She's a smart woman - one of the most successful (and wealthy) women in Hollywood. To see how she parlayed success as a child star, survived some highly publisized down times, to turn it around and become a real player in the business is admirable. She can produce a movie of mine anytime. She's a great role model for women for sure. It's too bad that so many people can't give credit where credit it due. [candyonthecape.blogspot.com]

@dayglo: In all seriousness, does she not sort of famously have bigger, floppier tits than this?
Is it a minimizer bandeau? Does that sort of bandeau exist?
Naturally-stacked gals need to know ...
