There is no reason to ever turn on a television before 7:30 PM. That's how I was raised. These ladies can do whatever they do in the afternoon while others play Beat The Clock and High Rollers. What a waste of human energy. The television can be turned on at 7:30 but should be off by 10:00 PM. If there is a beauty pageant or Ken Burns documentary playing - it is then permissible to turn off at 11:00. News is never to be consumed through the television set. That is for the morning papers and weekly chronicles. Drew Barrymore has a lisp. Children should not be hearing lisping everyday while there mother frets about making dinner. When Alex Trebek dies, TV should need not be on before 8:00 PM.

Do you think Drew is sweet crazy or demented crazy? I can't tell. She seems so sweet and loving and like someone who just bails out when things aren't feeling right with her spirit. But it's possible that she's kinda a raving Pisces like Liz and Liza. Pisces women are very good at the nobility game but very nasty and emasculating when they're on their drugs of choice. Drew talks about how all her friends are gay and drag queens, but she's looks 50 and has two kids. She seems to embrace whatever phase of life she is going through and commits to it. To her credit, she is disarming and honest sounding. That is part of the Pisces charm. But is she much different from other borderline chicks with money?
It's a huge myth that BPD can't hold jobs or make a home. They crave stability. Just can't maintain it forever. But if you have money - you just announce a new business or way of life or belief system or change out husbands. Move to another town. Fire your therapist. I suspect that Drew is not as great a mom as she believes she is. But she seems nice. Pisces are the most charming of signs. So disarming. They do tell the truth, but they have way more than one truth to tell.

Unlike a lot of talk show hosts she's not having to pay her dues by booking a bunch of B-, C-, and D-listers. Her guests this first week have been better than what Kelly Clarkson can land...certainly on par with Ellen. I just don't see her committing to a talk show for more than a few years. She kind of seems like because she likes to talk, is excissively positive, and knows a lot of famous people she thought she'd be a good talk show host. The whole thing gives off a strong odor of "Bored Wealthy Woman Looking for a Sense of Purpose." It doesn't help her guests are only showing up to support a friend.

Charlize has never shared any insight or compassion for Aileen Wuornos. Again in this interview she vaguely referred to that role as a woman with an arm growing out of her face. She practically did a Trump like mocking of people with mental deformities. I've always found this fascinating about the very cold Theron. Most actresses when they win Oscars for playing a real person, good or bad - have something to say about their interpretation or understanding of the subject. Insight into their pain, or charity toward those they damaged. Charlize never mentioned Aileen Wuornos in any acceptance speech, far as I remember. Now that could be a political move during award season, but I always found it odd - considering that Charlize murdered her own father.

Never mind that Kelly is already a hit. She does something like this everyday. Clarkson is hyper and talks a lot too - but she's a woman, not a 45 year old girl. Drew is a nice person, but a useless "talent." She can't do real topics and she can only gush on the carpet about celebrities. Datalounge uses the word Frau a lot. Took me years to understand what it was supposed to mean. DREW BARRYMORE is a frau. Her audience would probably like something a bit better from her. Nice wardrobe and makeup though.
Kelly Clarkson is sincere with no edge too. But her heart is on the line. Her sincerity includes some darker self reflection and real power and a GREAT talent. I don't like afternoon talk. The people who do - will have to change the channel on Drew. She's a pretty silly human being. They might feel guilty, but she's unrelatable and quite annoying.

That's the thing^. Drew had a horrible mother. But her mother gave her everything she became and she didn't exactly sell her into prostitution. It's pretty fucked up - but when you are arrogant enough to write your autobiography at 15 years old and talk about all your drug problems - it can't be from a healed perspective. She was just further exploiting herself. And her self discovery was that of a precocious 15 year old. Pretty much the same as she is now. All the things she lists about what she doesn't like about her appearance in the interview at R119, are pretty common things to a lot of teenagers. Drew has always been emotionally facile and articulate. She's a pisces. It's a hallmark. But she's had another 30 years of fuck ups and revelations and personal discovery since then. Fine. But they are not all major announcements. Liza and Liz were both Pisces too - given to pronouncing new LOVES and phases and changes to their LIFE. A new MAN. A brave new MOVIE. A Passion For AIDS and PERFUME! Only to slip back or enter a new phase of dependence or abuse. It was mostly sincere, but never very grown up.
Happiness is a quiet thing. When it's real in love, parenthood or in self discovery - you don't go on endless interviews and magazine covers to proclaim it. Drew is an emotional lightweight. Just like Liza and Liz??? No doubt she's a good friend. But she has nothing of value to say to the general public. She's not a 25 year old flashing her native intelligence and perfect tits anymore. She seems like she's benefitted from lots of money and lowbrow success. It's been very good to her. She's still a nice girl with a trail of forgotten failures. But what does "nice" mean in this context? Stupid, naive, unwilling to accept how you hurt others and fail yourself? She's 45, but not a grown woman. Her personality and earnestness and gushing glee is too old and stale. Like Liz & Liza. Become a woman dammit. Stop yelping how wonderful the sunrise is or pointing out how heartbreaking the night becomes. Write some bad poetry Drew.
I suspect she does.

Irony upon irony, Cameron has come out with her own line of wines. She touts them as "clean", wellness wines.
And come to find out, it's not a "clean" wine. But people are happy to toss their money away on this and it's supposedly selling well

I guess it's just something that over 40-year-old actresses are doing. Makeup, perfume, home furnishings, clothing line, vagina candle. Goop, bitch Reese, Catherine Zeta Jones, etc. Gives them something to do. Remember they have nannies to raise the kids. And they have to maintain their lifestyle. And it's not like a bunch of producers are banging down their doors for roles. Maybe Ryan Murphy.

Sharon Stone hasn't made a buck in 30 years from a film, but you don't see her on QVC selling boyfriend shirts and mock neck Ts. Neither does Aniston or Julia Roberts or Streep or Judi Dench. It's not required. Those other bitches are just greedy and like to see their name on things. When Paula Abdul had her reality show it was hilarious when she went to sell her line on QVC. She had never seen "her" jewelry collection before in her life. She was just picking stuff out for herself that she liked.
Do some well paid Jap commercials ladies and some tasteful print modelling. That's how the classier actresses do it.

Although she was never an amazing actress, Drew was good in Grey Gardens and seemed to make a bid to be a dramatic actress and expand her horizons. But she didn't really pursue it or it didn't pursue her.

r11 I can attest to that, I worked on Never Been Kissed and Drew was very hands on throughout the whole process. She spoke to anyone and everyone. She was very appreciative and the tiniest details touched and thrilled her right down to the things you never really see on camera like the details in her characters house. She actually got a little choked up when she walked into the set to film seeing what she had only imagined in front of her.
Very sweet girl.

You did not work with Drew R161. (we know who you are) D Barrymore gets choked up at a leaf falling. Sweet girl, nobody argues that. But she's a bad actress and has the profile of a witch. And ex husbands well paid not to say anything. She's a good person, but not sane of course. A lot of issues.
But there was that one dark comedy with the other ugly one......Ben Stiller. That was funny. When they buy the townhouse with an upstairs tenant. Drew was good in that - she doesn't do all that Drew Barrymore shit. And the old lady was hilarious. It's a better than average black comedy. The name escapes me.
Her talk show will be gone by January. She would never have stayed with it beyond 2 years anyway. Curious chick. Likable. Sweet. R161 once claimed to have worked with her.

R181 I think that Drew Barrymore is in love with love. And in love with the IDEA of marriage, commitment, true love, soul mates, etc.
But then when marriage happens, and the fantasy becomes reality, it makes her feel very claustrophobic. And suddenly, all she wants to do is get out of the box she is trapped in.
She's been married three times. Once, for two months, ones for nine months and once for two years. So...yeah. I don't think she can handle the reality of that magnitude of commitment.
