New couple alert: Drew Barrymore and Jason Segel

Drew Barrymore

Since her breakup with Apple spokesman/ geeky cute guy Justin Long, actress Drew Barrymore has bounced from guy to guy. She was last seen making out with “Gossip Girl” actor Ed Westwick at a Kings of Leon concert, but that seemed like more of a publicity stunt than anything else. Now it looks like Drew is getting chummy with another young actor. Drew was spotted singing karaoke and getting touchy-feely with “How I Met Your Mother” and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star Jason Segel. TMZ has a video of the pair singing “Rainbow Connection” from The Muppet Movie. I’ll say this: they’re no Kermit the Frog.

Drew Barrymore and How I Met Your Mother Star Jason Segel are making sweet music together!

On Saturday night, the casually clad actress, 33, and Segel, 28, (who were reportedly spotted smooching November 28 at L.A.’s Chateau Marmont) hit the
Brass Monkey Bar, where they belted out the “Rainbow Connection” on the karaoke stage.

“Drew and Jason were obviously dating because they were kissing and touching each other throughout the night,” a source told Usmagazine.com.

So are Barrymore and Segel a couple?

Following their alleged makeout session, the two saw a cabaret show at L.A.’s Dresden Room on December 20.

“They’re just friends,” Elayne Roberts – a club performer who sat with them that night – told Us. But a source said, “They’re friends with a little benefits,” adding, “It’s not serious.”

Segel’s rep said, “They are friends, simply.”

Not bad, but my karaoke version of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” is far superior! Seriously, though, a Drew-Jason pairing could be a good match. But then, I thought the Drew-Justin pairing was adorable. I wonder if she’ll ever settle down. But then again, the last time she got married, it was to unfunny comic Tom Green- maybe that scared her off from long term commitments forever. It would sure work for me.

Here’s Drew Barrymore leaving Kinara Spa in Beverly Hills on December 24th. Images thanks to Bauer-Griffin.

    I like him so much, I just got around to seeing the Sarah Marshall movie when we rented it on Christmas, and he’s so funny and cute.

  2. Amy says:

    I like him, too, but I can’t believe he’s only 28! He looks like he is in his mid-30’s to me.

    Drew, too much sunlight.

  4. MoJo says:

    NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

    And now for a slightly more articulate response: I just don’t see it. Mostly, I’m just worried that if they were dating, it wouldn’t be long before we saw her pop up on my beloved HIMYM. We’ve already seen Alyson Hannigan’s and NPH’s beloveds on the show after all!

    Is it just me or is he more adorable since he gained weight and grew his hair out a bit?

    @vdantev: Agreed! Some people just look better embracing their pale white skin, and Drew is one of those people.

    Let me guess, this time it’s for real?

    I think I’m the one person in this country who doesn’t like How I Met Your Mother, so I never paid much attention to Jason Segel. But after Netflixing Freaks and Geeks, I’m loving him and James Franco.

    They both have a bad case of the old face. They need to curb the drinking and smoking.

  9. Lori says:

    Sad how these women like Drew, Sienna, Cameron go from boyfriend to boyfriend, especially at their ages.

  10. aleach says:

    @ Lori- uh, why exactly is that “sad”?

  11. Kelly says:

    so cute I love it! Drew good pick and there is nothing sad about it, its saaaaweeet!

  12. Shingles says:

    I’d never trust a woman who jumped from man to man without any down time or recovery time. She seems panicked and desperate while trying to remain happy happy happy! Funny she’s in a remake of Grey Gardens because I definitely see Little Edie in her future.

    @aleach- Don’t you know? You’re supposed to either:

    a) Settle down with whomoever will have you, or
    b) Take inspiration from Miss Havisham from ‘Great Expectations’. Duh!

    According to Wikipedia, Sienna Miller turned 28 the other day. Such an old maid!

    On topic – these two are adorable. I love HIMYM.
