Drew & Fab Call It Quits

Actress Drew Barrymore may be on the cover of the latest Harper's Bazaar gushing about her boyfriend of five years, Fabrizio Moretti, 26, but Us Weekly has learned that the 31-year-old actress has ended her relationship with the Strokes drummer.

“Drew said they needed time off,” a source close to the actress tells Us.

Confirms a Moretti pal, “Fab is now living back in his old apartment.”

Hey Drew my number is 815-7... aw, to hell with it this is the 21st century just look up mcsey on the Tubes.



Fabrizio was in that shot also, but much, it seems, like Drew, I've cut him out the picture. Click for full shot. Also, does she not remind you a bit of Wynona Ryder in that picture? Maybe Drew will take up with Dave Pirner next.

Gere dances with Indian sex workers in AIDS fight

MUMBAI - Hollywood star Richard Gere cheered on thousands of Indian prostitutes dancing to raunchy Bollywood songs on Wednesday and urged them to refuse sex without condoms to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS.

"No condom, no sex. No condom, no sex. No condom, no sex," Gere hollered into a microphone as about 10,000 prostitutes gathered at a dusty Mumbai fairground joined him in chorus.

Daily Drew (double dip)

From the assplosion of Drew related Yahoo and Google alerts that have been deluging my inboxen, its obvious that publicity for something is ramping up. Oh gee you mean she has two movies coming out in the next two months? I'm shocked. Anyway...

Drew can't do diets.

American actress Drew Barrymore accepts that her intermittent weight is due to her incapability to stick to a constant diet

The 31-year-old Charlie's Angels actress admits she knows that she would have a better body if she keeps an eye on what she eats.

"I am so appallingly bad and erratic. I know that I'd have a better body and feel better if I did dieting more consistently."

Barrymore desperate to work with Borat Sacha Baron Cohen

Drew Barrymore is desperate to work with “Borat” star Sacha Baron Cohen because she's always been attracted to strange men.

The “Charlie's Angels” actress, who was in a relationship with “The Strokes” drummer Fabrizio Moretti since 2002, insists the Hollywood star had some unusual pin-ups as a teenager.

"I like smart, weird, funny and sharp.The guys I had crushes on growing up were Ted Koppel and David Letterman", says Barrymore.

Mel Gibson?

"You just have to read what's in the Israeli press. The Jewish community is divided but there is so much pressure being channeled from the New York money people to the office seekers."

Nope. Wesley Clark. Apparently the coming war with Iran is the fault of the rich Jews in New York. DAMN YOU ROTHSCHILD!

Administration Official: Troop Escalation ‘More Of A Political Decision Than A Military One

(Jim) MIKLASZEWSKI: Good evening, Brian. Administration officials told us today that President Bush has now all but decided to surge those additional troops into Baghdad to try to control over the violence there and only then could they accelerate the turnover of territory to Iraqi security forces. Fact is they’re not up to the task yet. The plan would also throw more U.S. money at Iraq for reconstruction and a jobs program. Interestingly enough, one administration official admitted to us today that this surge option is more of a political decision than a military one because the American people have run out of patience and President Bush is running out of time to achieve some kind of success in Iraq. While this plan will clearly draw some stiff opposition on Capitol Hill, the president is expected to announce it a week from today.

Virgil Goode pwned

But It's Thomas Jefferson's Koran!

Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, found himself under attack last month when he announced he'd take his oath of office on the Koran -- especially from Virginia Rep. Virgil Goode, who called it a threat to American values.

Yet the holy book at tomorrow's ceremony has an unassailably all-American provenance. We've learned that the new congressman -- in a savvy bit of political symbolism -- will hold the personal copy once owned by Thomas Jefferson.

You may remember Virgil Goode's bigoted tirade against Rep. Keith Ellison using the Koran at his Congressional swearing in. He's just been made to look more foolish. Ellison will be using unserious terrorist loving Thomas Jefferson's copy of the Koran.

Note to Goode... sit in the back of Congress and keep your mouth shut, you'll get pwned far less often this way.
