Drew Barrymore is having a good summer

jtm-024862.jpg
It sounds like Drew Barrymore is having a damn good time this summer. She’s been linked with three different guys, and there wasn’t one story of a painful breakup. A lot of people thought she might be in a long term relationship with director Spike Jonze as she was first seen out with him in March and they were spotted together again in August. They would have seemed like a couple, except Drew was seen holding hands and making out with Zach Braff in July.

And if two emo guys didn’t a good summer make, Drew was making out with Justin Long, the Mac guy who appears in the Mac vs. PC commercials, in Vegas last weekend. It seems like there’s more to it than just a quick hookup, because the pair were out together in LA earlier last week.

They are starring together in the new movie Drew is producing, He’s Just Not That Into You, so maybe what started out as business relationship turned into something more:

The He’s Just Not that Into You costars seemed really into one another over Labor Day in Vegas, where the two were “all over each other, making out the entire time,” a witness at Jet Nightclub tells PEOPLE.

First spotted together at Chateau Marmont on Aug. 28, Barrymore, 32, and Long, 29, brought their holiday weekend to a close back in Los Angeles at a trendy sushi restaurant with friends.

According to a Barrymore pal, “the relationship is very new.”

So new, in fact, the actress dallied with Scrubs star Zach Braff in June and rekindled old flame Spike Jonze in August.

Last week there was a rumor that Drew was trying to hook up Jennifer Aniston with their other costar in the He’s Just Not That Into You movie, Bradley Cooper. Cooper was said to have invited Aniston over for a romantic dinner at his house on Drew’s suggestion, but not much more seems to have come of that. Cooper was also supposedly dating Cameron Diaz last week when they were seen out together too.

Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Connelly, Ben Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Kevin Connolly are also in the He’s Just Not that Into You movie. Connelly and Affleck are married and ostensibly out of the running for co-star hookups, (not that it’s stopped other celebrities) but there are plenty of possibilities of hookups on this film set. According to IMDB it’s “in production” and I’m not sure if it’s even started filming yet. It usually seems like a bad idea to date people you’re working with because you’re stuck with them every day no matter what happens to the relationship. At least actors and actresses have the advantage of being on a limited time schedule so they know they’re only going to have to see the person for a few months and at some events afterwards.

A very wise older friend of mine once offered this advice about dating guys at work, “Don’t shit where you eat.” I know she didn’t come up with it or anything, but it usually comes to mind when I hear of situations like these.

I wonder who will end up avoiding each other at the premiere and if there will be any drama on set.

Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz & Evangeline Lilly


Drew, J.Lo, and Evangeline all looked lovely at the Golden Globes. I’m impressed with J.Lo’s makeup, which has looked mismatched recently but seems just right and not overdone here. Drew is a vision in white. She’s appearing in the upcoming film Music and Lyrics By with Hugh Grant, and judging from the way they’re posing kind of far from each other I would say this appearance is for professional reasons, but I would like to be wrong.

Evangeline Lilly’s dress is a gorgeous swirl of muted pastels and I love her loose curly hair.

Cameron Diaz is a haughty mess. She tried to pull off upswept carefree hair, but her hair is too straight and it just looks messy. Those bright red glossy lips look clownish, and I can’t stand her frilly white dress. She’s taking too many risks here at once, and falls flat. Am I being too harsh on her?

Drew Barrymore broke up with Fabrizio Moretti


Right after giving a revealing interview to Harper’s Bazaar about her struggles with her long term relationship, Drew Barrymore has reportedly called it quits with her boyfriend of over five years, Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti. It’s possible they’re just taking a break, but the news doesn’t sound good for these two, and Fabrizio has moved out of her place:

“Drew said they needed time off,” a source close to the actress tells Us.

Confirms a Moretti pal, “Fab is now living back in his old apartment.”

The pair – who hooked up in April 2002 – seemed a good match on the surface, friends say.

“Drew has always had a taste for subculture,” Barrymore pal Courtney Love tells Us.

But they had suffered some rocky times. Tongues wagged when she skipped the February 2005 nuptials of Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas; months later, the duo got in a public tiff in Santa Monica, California.

In fact, “she broke up with him twice before this,” says a Barrymore insider.

At issue? Clashing personalities.

“He’s younger, and she’s more worldly,” says a source of Barrymore. “He doesn’t like the Hollywood stuff. He doesn’t get her friends.”

But don’t count them out just yet, adds the source. “This is exactly what happened last time they took a break.”

In Drew’s interview in Bazaar she cautioned women not to “take love and your relationship so g-ddamned heavy all the time.” She also said she was in “unchartered water” in her relationship with Fabrizio as she had only been in relationships of 2-3 years before Fabrizio. She seemed to suggest they were out of the infatuation stage and that she was trying to adjust to the changes that come with long term relationships.

Drew Barrymore to play in thriller


Drew Barrymore is departing from her trademark cute romantic comedy role by playing the lead in a thriller that’s being put out by her production company, Flower Films. The script is being re-worked by the screenwriter behind “Silence of the Lambs,” so it’s sure to be dark and scary:

Drew Barrymore has committed to star in the Warner Bros. thriller He Loves Me, according to Variety. Ted Tally has been set to write a new draft. Barrymore and her Flower Films partner Nancy Juvonen are producing.

Warner Bros. bought the Joyce Brotman spec in December, with Barrymore eyeing the lead at that time. The buy came as Flower planted itself at Warner Bros. in a new first-look deal.

Tally, the Silence of the Lambs screenwriter who most recently completed an adaptation of The Reckoning for Paramount and Shrek the Third for DreamWorks, called He Loves Me a “taut, sexy thriller about contemporary infidelity, which strongly questions the proposition that what you don’t know won’t hurt you.

That’s great that Drew is expanding her acting reach, and we hope the film is a critical and commercial success.

Drew is a down-to-earth actress who seems to stay out of the limelight. She keeps a good attitude about fame, and recently said she doesn’t regret any of her fashion choices:

She told Elle magazine: “I’ve gotten ripped plenty, and I just say, ‘Oh, well.’ I don’t regret those moments, because they’re kind of what define you. I

“I wore daisies in my hair to the Academy Awards once and people were vomiting on the floors, but that won’t ever stop me. I love rolling with it.”

Here she is in New York on 9/20. [via]

Drew Barrymore loves her curves


In an interview with Elle magazine, Drew Barrymore said that she likes her body and will never strive to be rail thin like many of her Hollywood counterparts:

“I’m never going to fall prey to that. I don’t have enough room in my life for the neurosis of other people’s expectations. If you’re too thin, they kill you and if you’re too fat, they kill you.

“There’s no such thing as perfection and someone else’s definition of it is not good enough for me.

“I love food too much to live in fear or starvation. If I could eat macaroni cheese every day then I’d be happy. I live for crispy tacos!”

She also said that Cameron Diaz is her best friend and that she is “totally into girl love.” She said her friends are her outlets for “dreams and creative aspirations.”

Drew certainly has a good head on her shoulders, and she seems like a fun person to hang out with. She was photographed with funnyman Jimmy Fallon in Punta Mita, Mexico on September 3rd. This doesn’t mean that Drew and Jimmy are together. Drew is most likely still with her longterm boyfriend, Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti. A commentor on Lime-Light.org, where we found the pictures, notes that it looks like Drew’s friend and business partner, Nancy Juvonen, is with them, and that she may be dating Jimmy.

Costume Institute Gala over 100 photos


The Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art held a ball last night to celebrate the opening of an exhibit on British design. Sienna Miller, wearing an awful gold sequined minidress and black tights, served as co-chair for the event.

The star-studded Costume Institute Gala was the opening event for a new exhibition celebrating British design at New York’s prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The flamboyant show, made up of themed rooms including a Hunt Ball and a Gentleman’s Club, is the latest example of the city’s growing obsession with all things from across the pond.

Celebrities from the UK including Liz Hurley, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell put on their glad rags for the lavish event.

The Americans were represented by A-listers including Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker and Richard Gere.

The British-born editor of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, swept in first.

Miller, who teamed her glittering frock with opaque black tights and wore her hair tied back in a simple ponytail, shared the limelight with Christopher Bailey, the creative director of Burberry.

He and Wintour were the starlet’s fellow co-chairs. The fashion house and Vogue publisher Condé Nast have sponsored the exhibition.

The guy dressed like a cabaret pirate posing with Charlize Theron is Dior designer John Galiano. He’s responsible for her monstrosity of an Oscar gown with the giant shoulder bow. Sienna Miller is shown with Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s creative director.

We have over 100 pictures from the event. Stars and designers attending include Alexander McQueen, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, John Galliano, Charlize Theron, Lindsay Lohan, Victoria Beckham, Emmy Rossum, Eva Mendes, Gisele Bundchen, Gretchen Mol, Jessica Alba, Josh Hartnett, Lenny Kravitz, Donatella Versace, Rupert Everett, Linda Evangelista and Amber Valetta, Jessica Alba, Marcia Gay Harden, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, Melania Trump, Donald Trump, Molly Sims, Rosario Dawson, Scarlett Johansson, Stella McCartney, Amanda Peet, Andre Leon Talley, Naomi Campbell, Angela Lindvall, Angie Harmon, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Bridget Moynahan, Tom Brady, Chloe Sevigny, Ciara, Dita Von Teese and Marliyn Manson, Drew Barrymore, Elizabeth Hurley, Erin O’Connor, Matthew Williamson, Eve, Gina Gershon, Ginnifer Goodwin, Ivana Trump, Jacquetta Wheeler, Jason Lewis, Jessica Stam, John Legend, Johnny Rotten, Josh Lucas, Joy Bryant, Julia Stegner, Iselin Steiro, Karolina Kurkova, Lily Cole, Lauren Bush, Lily Donaldson, Gemma Ward, Liv Tyler, Francisco Costa, Lydia Hearst, Mandy Moore, Minnie Driver, Nick Cannon, Petra Nemcova, Rachel Roy, Damon Dash, Ralph Fiennes, Richard Gere, Cary Lowell, Thandie Newton, Selma Blair, Shalom Harlow, Sienna Miller, Christopher Bailey, designer for Burberry, Zooey Deschanel, Sophie Dahl, Ivanka Trump, Mark Ruffalo, Taye Diggs, Idima Menzel, and Sarah Wynter.

Hugh Grant loves reality TV


Hugh Grant watched a ton of reality TV in preparation for his role playing a reality show judge in the film American Dreamz:

In the film Grant plays a reality show judge…just like [Simon] Cowell so has been poring over tapes of ‘American Idol’ and the ‘X Factor’.

He admitted to The Sun: “I’d never watched them before but studied a bunch of tapes – and I enjoy cruelty.

“I like people being humiliated, I like watching freaks. The freakier the better as far as I am concerned.

“I don’t think they far enough – I’d also quite like to see the losers being tortured.

His other quotes reveal that he’s not just joking around, and pays attention to the reality shows.

“I’m quite susceptible to reality television,” he confessed recently.

“I’m ashamed of that part of myself, as I’m sure we all are, but there are some good ones.”

“Wife Swap I particularly like. There was one where they took delinquent teenagers and put them through a 50s education, and another one where they put them through an army boot camp. Brilliant, really fascinating.”

Hugh Grant isn’t the only one who feels guilty but can’t look away. He sums up reality television well.

Here’s Grant with Drew Barrymore on the set of their film, “Music and Lyrics By.”

3 more after the jump.
