It is no secret that Drew Barrymore and her mother have a problematic relationship. And she talked about it to Vulture.
She explained to the reporter why she needed to interview Jennette McCurdy and Brooke Shields on her talk show about what they wrote in their books about their momangers. “All their moms are gone, and my mom’s not,” she says. “And I’m like, Well, I don’t have that luxury. But I cannot wait. I don’t want to live in a state where I wish someone to be gone sooner than they’re meant to be so I can grow. I actually want her to be happy and thrive and be healthy. But I have to fucking grow in spite of her being on this planet.”
Several sites interpreted that the actress wishes her mom dead from that quote, and she was livid about what they said.
So she took to social media to angrily explain what she meant, so they would retract what they wrote. “To all you tabloids out there, you have been fucking with my life since I was 13 years old. I have never said that I wish my mother was dead. How DARE you put those words in my mouth.
“I have been vulnerable and tried to figure out a very difficult, painful relationship, while admitting it is difficult to do while a parent is alive. And that for those of us who have to figure that out in real time, cannot wait, as in cannot wait for ‘the time,’ not ‘the parent is dead.’
“Don’t twist my words around or ever say that I wish my mother was dead. I have never said that. I never would. In fact, I go on to say, ‘That I wish that I never live in an existence where I would wish that on someone because that is sick.”
I have never seen the actress get that mad over anything, so you know that it really got to her. Hopefully, they will apologize to her. But I doubt it.
Drew Barrymore is as nice as she seems. That is why everyone loves her.
Recently during a taping of The Drew Barrymore Show, she had a superfan there who started to cry when she saw the actress in person.
As soon as Drew saw the woman with tears coming out of her eyes, the host walked over to see if she was OK. That is when the woman told Drew that she is her childhood idol.
The fan also let the star know that she didn’t want to be one of those people who gets emotional when they meet their idol. So Drew told Olivia to be that person who cries and then went over to hug her admirer.
As Drew was hugging Olivia, she sat down on her admirer’s lap and told her, “It’s an honor to meet you,” and apologized for her dumpling breath.
Finally, because the commercial break was almost over, Drew told her that it was funny the fan didn’t want to cry because she does it all the time in the studio.
I am sure Olivia will never forget that moment for the rest of her life. She will remember it fondly.
And with that, we all adore Barrymore even more than we did before we watched this sweet interaction. More celebrities should be like Drew!
Drew Barrymore was going to host the MTV Movie & TV Awards this Sunday night. But today, she announced that she is pulling out of them because of the Writers Guild of America’s strike.
“I have listened to the writers, and in order to truly respect them, I will pivot from hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards live in solidarity with the strike,” Barrymore said in a statement to Variety. “Everything we celebrate and honor about movies and television is born out of their creation. And until a solution is reached, I am choosing to wait but I’ll be watching from home and hope you will join me. I thank MTV, who has truly been some of the best partners I have ever worked with. And I can’t wait to be a part of this next year, when I can truly celebrate everything that MTV has created, which is a show that allows fans to choose who the awards go to and is truly inclusive.”
So what is going to happen on Sunday? The show will go on. But without a host. And just because Barrymore won’t be there, it doesn’t mean we won’t see her. She pre-taped several bits ahead of the live broadcast that will still be part of the show.
As of now, the awards show is still being mapped out, and they are waiting to hear who and who will not attend. I think that Barrymore’s announcement will be the beginning of celebrities dropping out. But I could be wrong.
The producers plan on addressing the Writers Strike but not dwelling on it. They said this is a show where the fans vote, so they are going to make it for them.

Ben Affleck was on The Drew Barrymore Show today, and he talked about Jennifer Lopez’s eating habits.
“Let me tell you something that’s gonna upset you. Jennifer just eats whatever she wants. Whatever she wants. She eats cookies, ice cream, everything,” Mr. J-Lo said. “She works out. I work out too but I don’t magically appear to be twenty years old, you know what I mean, with perfect skin and the whole thing. There’s no taking away of the work ethic, the work ethic is real, the discipline is real, but also the superhuman thing is real. She’s the most gorgeous woman in the world, she looks spectacular.”
I would believe that his wife ate junk food if she wasn’t such a bitch. I mean, I think if she had a piece of chocolate every now and again, she would be a nicer person.
Do you believe she eats anything she wants? Or do you think he is trying to humanize his wife?
Warning that headline is totally deceptive! But it’s my site, and I’ll do what I want to.
So back to the story. When Drew Barrymore was a little girl, she had chickenpox. And when Rob Lowe heard about it, he called her to see how she was doing. And she can still remember everything about that call.
That is because back in the ’80s, everyone was obsessed with him, including her. So his call was something she will never forget.
Just like the night when he invited her to his birthday party. The actress told the actor on The Drew Barrymore Show today, “It was the best night of my life!”
The Lowe said to her, “You were so great on the dance floor, cutting it up. You were like a little mini-Madonna.” And that is what she was going for.
With all of the women he dated, it is a shame these two never hooked up. Well, I guess there is that 11-year age difference. So by the time she was old enough to date him, he was already married. But they would’ve been great together. Could you imagine them skipping on the red carpet together?
