We saw it with Prince William and Kate Middleton, Britney Spears and Jason Trawick, Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman…now Drew Barrymore is jumping on the bandwagon and getting engaged to her non-famous boyfriend, Will Kopelman. The two reportedly got together right after Drew split with nerdy-cute BF Justin Long and have been dating for the past year. It all begs the question — could normal be the new normal?

While the future Mr. Drew Barrymore isn’t entirely common — he’s the son of the former head of Chanel, after all — his job as an art consultant puts him far from A-List celeb status. Looking at the couple kissing on vacation, hanging out in LA and just generally enjoying each other’s company, it all looks so…normal. Drew’s been married twice before, so I do wonder if she’d take the plunge a third time unless she was really, really sure this relationship is going to work out for the long haul. Perhaps the secret to successful relationships in Hollywood is to find someone who isn’t in the spotlight along with you. Read More »

She'll be our resident movie gal, giving us the ins and outs of the new releases and telling us whether or not its worth it to fork over $12 for the latest flicks.]

It has been six days since my boyfriend and I broke up. So obviously the best thing to do was watch a romantic “comedy” (I’ll explain the quotation marks in a minute). What I didn’t realize is that even a movie about falling in love could explain so much about an ended relationship.

Going the Distance is essentially Knocked Up minus the baby and the funny. Oh, and plus about 3,000 miles. Erin (Drew Barrymore) is a reporter on an internship who meets Garrett (Justin Long) six weeks before she has to return to her hometown of San Francisco. Garrett works for a record label where he is unable to give the bands he loves any big breaks. I know, a news office and a record label – now there are two places that we don’t see enough of in films today. Neither Erin nor Garrett really like the way their life is going and they make each other laugh, so naturally, they fall in love and commit to be long distance.

The mastermind behind this film clearly thought that because Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, and Christina Applegate are funny in other movies and TV shows, they would be able to somehow make the dialogue infinitely more hysterical than it actually was on paper. When they realized that wasn’t working, I guess they just decided that Judd Apatow is pretty popular, so why not have three goofy looking friends talk about masturbation while two blonde sisters (the older, anal-retentive one with a crazy family that she can’t handle and the younger one falling in love) talk about how stupid men are.

We also think that a threesome with him and Chase Crawford could go down as one of the best nights of any woman’s life.

But, thanks to Drew Barrymore, that will not be happening any time soon. It seems the former Mrs. Mac has moved on from her boyishly cute ex (Justin Long); last night she was spotted locking lips with the one and only Ed Westwick. Who, by the way, is like 20 years younger than her.

It’s ok, though; at the same party where Drew and Ed were caught making out, Ed was also spotted in leather pants and a purple fanny pack. And he was not being dressed by the costume peeps at Gossip Girl. He actually chose to wear that.

Let’s just hope Barrymore keeps her slutty Mrs. Robinson paws off of Chase Crawford. If he wants an older woman, that woman is going to be me, damnit.
