Saying Something Nice About Celebs Wednesdays!™

Today's SSNACW™®©© is by demand of SSNACW chum, reader, and fan julepandme. I suspect she has some pertinent info on deck to comment with. But I wouldn'ta done it if I didn't agree this person was worthy of praise: Drew Barrymore.

I can't say I agree with Drew's taste in goofy men, and I'm not a fan of her Valley Girl vocal intonations, nor am I a fan of the rom coms she so often stars in. All that being said, here is one of the few women in Hollywood who actually wields some power--flower power that is! AHHAHAHA (Her production company is called Flower Films, and she is a producer on many of her latest movies.)

As everyone knows, Drew was a drinkin' and druggin' wreck at a very young age but turned it around, and now appears healthy with an unapologetic twist of California ding-a-ling. She also just seems like a fun, positive, real person. And (all together now), she is a longtime vegetarian, a philanthropist, and just a general hippie. Which we all know I love.

Somewhat disturbingly, when you do a Google image search for her, almost the entire first page of results are nude or semi- nude, and a lot of them are obvious Photoshop fakes. (As everybody now goes off to Google...) You would think this now relatively wholesome lady spent most of her time prancing around in the altogether rather than being a savvy businesswoman. That's the Internets for ya.

    Well... she wasn't terrible in Wedding Singer... I guess... man, this is hard... Can't we just do Paul Newman again?

    Clinton: Ha! I know; my admiration is mostly about how she seems to be so un-tarnished, when she could have easily turned into a burned-out negative creep.
    Lioux: Oh yeah, I forgotted!

    Totally agree. I think she is a sweetheart. I hope she's as nice as she seems in real life.

    I LOVE Drew. I have the hugest girl crush on her. And I met her on the street once - I gave her and her ex-beau Eric Erlandson (from Hole) directions to Brownies, and she was just as adorable in person as on film. Then the friend of was with yelled "Drew Barrymore, you ROCK" as she was walking away, not stopping to think that we also were heading to Brownies, and now looked like crazed stalkers. But she took it all in stride.

    so yay for cokane and Ms. Barrymore!

    and people (ahem, Clinton) learn to embrace the silliness and sweetness of the well-done rom com (check out "Never Been Kissed"). Trust me, you'll still be cool and it doesn't hurt to let yourself go a little gooey.

    P.S. I know you & Lioux have something cooked up for me prank wise. Well just rememeber, paybacks.

    remember.

    Yes. I've heard Drew has EXCELLENT taste in music.

    Co-Worker Dan pulled up her celebrity iTunes playlist the other day and it seemed pretty cool.

    train wreck: A prank? Me? [snort]

    julepandme: clinton did like one ro co, Trust the Man. He blogged it. (Is this here comments scene getting too incestuous? I love me my regulars, but someone random should chime in. I love when that happens. )

    When you google search my name, a bunch of women that I'm pretty sure are nuns show up. Dammit.

    I'm also a big fan of little Drew. I loved when she flashed Letterman. He also seemed to love it.

    This is very strange. In a sure sign that the universe revolves around me, I actually just saw Drew Barrymore in LA on Saturday night. I was having a beer at this random pool place in Hollywood with a friend. He saw a girl he used to work with playing pool, so we went over to talk with her. Guess who she was playing pool with? Oprah Winfrey! No, only kidding, it was, of course, Drew Barrymore.

    She was shorter than I expected. And her boobs didn't look all crazy like they did on that one awards show when she wasn't wearing a bra. OK, that sounds like a dig, but it's really not--I'm saying they looked OK.

    Anyway. Universe revolves around me. That'll be all for now.

    Oh, and I went to a uber-hipster party that same night and saw Chloe Sevigny there. I know this doesn't have anything to do with Drew Barrymore, but I just wanted to continue my coolness...

    You are leading such a star-studded lifestyle! And my bf went to prom with Chloe! That bitch! Just kidding. Because as recently noted I went to a prom with Charlie Brown.
