Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore has come to terms with losing everything in a house fire earlier this year - and is almost grateful for the cleansing experience. An electrical fault caused her Beverly Hills home to burn to the ground. She says, “I came to believe it was time to start over. I needed to learn to let go of things because I was coming to a very collecting, very hoarding place in my life, holding really strong to my past. Things that made me know I had an identity I didn’t have growing up, something I thought would be good for my future children.” She continues, “That it was all taken away was something I need to examine. I believe it happens for spiritual reasons. The alternative, sitting around and being bummed out, that would be pointless.”

She then added, “Oh, and I’m glad I’m rich.”

And she married Tom Green. [shuddering noise] gaaah!

So beautiful, so stupid.

And so completely besides the point as a person and an actress (unless you’re under 28 years old).

Last year People magazine had her as one of the most intruiging people of 2000. Intriguing is so not what I’d call Drew Barrymore, nor does she do anything for me looks-wise.

Someone was remarking elsewhere that she looks the same now as she did in ET, only with breasts. They said, “You’re watching ET and saying, ‘oh yeah, Drew Barrymore, rawr’ and suddenly ‘holy crap she’s, like, THREE!’ and you’re gouging your eyes out with a spoon.”

The editors of People magazine have a boundless capacity to be intrigued. They should set their aim a little higher, but they are incapable.
