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.

He's hot. I've thought so since "Ed". She's a lucky girl.
That picture is so precious! She looks really good.
But, I do hope they have SPF 50 on....
so cynical...! doesn't anybody believe in true romance anym--oh screw it, i can't. totally staged. whatevs, drew and mac guy.
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!
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!
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.
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.
@Tiger_Tanaka: Jezebel response: I can't stop staring at his ass.
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.
@Tiger_Tanaka: Consumerist: Drew Barrymore, please choose your "worst boyfriend ever" from in the following poll which will ultimately cause all Gawker Media blogs to crash for an hour or so:
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.
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
Dear Pretty Girls Everywhere,
Stop wearing bandeau tops. They make nice boobs look like fried eggs nailed to your chest.
Kthxbai
why is she such a famewhore? i mean, i know she peaked career wise in E.T. i always liked drew but this is making my stomach turn. she'll now be joining the like of le heigl, longoria parker, the beckhams, and (gasp!) spiedi, in her frequent attempts to pimp her relationship. oh drew, i thought i knew ye
@bess marvin, girl detective:
Dear Girl Who Wants to Move to LA to write,
Best not to bad mouth someone who really is cool in real life, and who helped produce Donnie Darko.
Best of luck,
The Rest of Us
@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 ...
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]
I don't mean to be a snooty know-it-all, but we have already seen a live break-up on TV, and it was indeed on Ms. Winfrey's show- remember when Matt Damon dumped Minnie Driver live and on the air? Oprah asked him how Minnie was and he was all "oh, I wouldn't know. We totally broke up". And Minnie was backstage, thinking she was going to surprise her boyfriend Matt Damon! Ha! Classic.
@secretagentman: You obviously represent him. Hot? Yer funny...
Can we focus on what's important? Long has a fantastic ass!
@TheStarterWife: i'm already in L.A. and i'm simply stating the truth. if this was eva or katie, i wouldn't be so concerned and saddened. but your warning is very much appreciated.
love, bess marvin
Defamer No-Nos: A PSA in 4 bullets aka That Shit Don't Fly in Deadwood
- "totes"
- la + fill-in-the-blank-starlet
- "kthxbi" or "kthxbai"
- "i just threw up a little in my mouth"
@NoWireHangers: Re: "totes": not to worry, we're slimming down our tendency to "abreev."
Re: "la starlet": but sometimes alliteration just sounds nice! La Lopez, La Lolcait, for ex. But point duly noted.
Re: "kthxbai": oh c'mon, that was yet another brilliant Seth-ism. We hardly meant it earnestly; we mock dumb internet slang like this!
Re: "i just threw up...": wha? when and where did we dare? Note, if we did, references to any Jack McFarland quotes from W&G are worth resuscitating in my book.
@Molly Friedman: Fear not. I cannot say that I have read any of the aforementioned transgressions posted by the editors of this fine fine blog. My tutorial was meant for the Jezebel crossovers, i.e. shit that don't fly this side of the barbed wire.
For the record I've never seen that cursed word "totes" as written by Defamer proper. I hope I never do, for on that day I might have to go the way of the Beagle and commit commenter-icide.
@NoWireHangers: No commenter-icide for you! I can't speak for all of us Defamers, but I personally adore your comments. Don't let the Jezebel visitors damper your Friday.
@bess marvin, girl detective: You forgot TomKat!
@NoWireHangers: You forgot another one of the biggies: don't pimp your fucking blog in your comments. I'm looking at you, "candy" person.
@NoWireHangers: What if you wish to declare your love of tote bags?
I think Drew needs to understand - that the "He's so totally the bestest man ever" comments for every boyfriend is wearing alittle thin...
Girl hasn't pulled it together yet - if she can't conduct a relationship...
Man, they could have gone on a tripple Frat-pack date with Jennifer and Vince, and Owen and Kate.
