Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz met for the first time when Drew was casting Charlie’s Angels, more than a decade ago. Almost instantly, Drew and Cameron became friends, vacationing together, hanging out endlessly, and in general, just being each other’s total BFF. But something happened last year. Drew broke off her relationship with Justin Long while Cameron was getting hot and heavy with British model Paul Sculfor. Second, Drew started working on Grey Gardens, which she has since admitted threw her for a loop emotionally. Drew told W Magazine that she cut a lot of people out of her life while she was making that film, and that it took her months to shake the character of Little Edie. One of those people who allegedly got cut out was Cameron.
Since then, the old Drew has returned. She seemed like her old self when she described herself as a “good time gal” to David Letterman a few months ago. She got back together with Justin Long. But still, there have been persistent rumors that Drew and Cameron have failed to bury whatever hatchet ripped them apart. Until now!
Drew Barrymore recently rekindled her longtime friendship with Cameron Diaz, and it’s all thanks to her boyfriend, Justin Long.
Last summer, during “Drew’s dark period,” as one friend describes it, after she broke up with Justin, she also distanced herself from Cameron.
“She was going through some personal issues, and her friendships and relationships just weren’t her priority,” the friend says.
But Drew’s back to her old happy self again, so Justin, 31, suggested she extend an olive branch to Cameron.
“They’re friends again, not BFFs yet, but friends,” the friend adds. “It will take a while for things to get back to where they were, but it will happen.”

I like Drew and Cameron as besties. They make sense together. To me, they both seem like ditzy, klutzy, giggly girly-girls. But I guess both of them are growing up, maturing, and maybe neither wants to have the same kind of friendship they used to have. I’m not sure if I buy that Justin Long is the one who convinced Drew to reconnect, but if he did, he’s a great guy. I hope they realize that they can go back to being best friends without being stuck each other’s backsides, you know? They don’t have to do everything together, but they can still be very close. Team Dremeron.

i still love Justin Long whether or not he pushed them together. He’s always come off as a good guy to me, hilarious and dorky but an all around great guy.

80% of the women I know who are close friends are usually a remark away from being enemies.
BFF’s? Besties? Team Dremeron? That all makes me feel weird.

Ditzy? I guess Ditzy enough that Drew owns her own very successful production company and Cameron is one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood… If that’s ditzy then what’s Paris Hilton??
Neither of these women are ditzy. They both obviously have a level of maturity and experience in Hollywood to get past all the bullshit and have a real friendship with ups and downs. Neither have used their “feud” the way Nicole and Paris would (for publicity). I just take a bit of offense to the description of them as ditzy. I think they have a flirtatious and giggly sense of humor, that could be percieved as ditzy. But in reality, both are very career-driven and successful women.

I was using “ditzy” as a euphemism for “pothead”.

Dan, if that’s how you see female friendship, then you just don’t get it. Yes, there are digs, remarks, competition, etc. but getting past these inconsequentials is what truly deepens a longstanding female friendship. Maybe your girlfriend/wife bitches to you about her friends, but that in no way means she’s ready to ditch them. She may be just venting to you on her way to forgiving/forgetting.

I hope they are close again, whatever the deal there was. I like Cameron Diaz, whether she or any of Drew’s friends like me or not.

Drew paints herself as a devil-may-care girl but she is actually quite clingy and controlling. I don’t think she knows she is doing this, it is just part of her personality. It isn’t like she is a terrible person or anything – she has a lot of fun attributes as well. I wonder if Cameron just got a bit tired of all that. She definitely seems like the more grown up of the two…

Dan–most friends are only a remark away from being enemies because if you are good enough friends, you know everything about each other.
Some people just grow apart. I had the same best friend for 15 years. We went in different directions, I still love her but we don’t ever see each other like we used to.
I also love Justin Long!

They both have their fair share of shit off-screen to deal with. They should kiss and make up, good friends are hard to come by, especially in that business. It takes effort as you get older, but that’s the time you need them the most.

I think that Dan is not far off on his remark. Some women can be psychologically destructive towards one another. Not all potheads are ditzy; alot of pillheads are this way and at least the potheads don’t need their herb to be covered by medicare. I used to work under manager who was addicted to clonazepam and she was a harsh cookie. I wish Cam and Drew all the best in their friendship and hope they can age gracefully without botox and plastic surgery.

Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you
