Drew Barrymore Loses the Long Face
Maybe Drew Barrymore prefers PCs after all.
The 50 First Dates star and her frequent PDA partner Justin Long have parted ways after nearly a year of dating, Barrymore’s rep confirms to News.
A source close to the pair told Us Weekly, which first reported the breakup, that they remain friends.
At least they’ll have some alone time before they have to simultaneously walk the red carpet at the premiere of the relationship-book-inspired ensemble comedy He’s Just Not That Into You, which hits theaters Feb. 6, 2009.
Barrymore first started seeing the Mac-peddling actor in August 2007 after they met on the set of the film, which also stars Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck and Scarlett Johansson.
In March, she told Vogue that she was so happy, “my cheeks hurt.”
“They’re two peas in a pod, they’re made for each other,” Barrymore’s Charlie’s Angels costar Sam Rockwell told People just last month. “They’re like Mr. and Mrs. Warmth.”
Bruno Goes To The Middle East
Sasha Baron Cohen is at it again with Bruno. Cohan/Bruno tricked Yossi Alpher, a former Israeli spy and Palestinian academic Ghassam Khalib into appearing in the film which they thought was a serious documentary on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At one point, Bruno compared the Middle East conflict to the battle between Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie over Brad Pitt, saying: ‘Your conflict is not so bad.’ He also said:
“What’s the connection between a political movement and food. Why hummus?” Cohen asked, later adding: “Yesterday I threw away my pitta bread because it was dripping hummus. And it’s too high in carbohydrates.”
It was too late to pull out because the two had already signed release forms and received payment for the interview. The way things are going Bruno could end up being just a great as Borat…maybe even better! So far there has been talk of Ben Affleck being interviewed by Cohen in character, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger. There was also an incident in the lobby of Wichita Kansas Airport, where Bruno and his friend were caught stripping down to tight shorts.

Jennifer Garner: Weekend Shopping with Violet
She’s been getting in as much mother-daughter time as possible these days. And yesterday, Jennifer Garner was spotted toting around her 2-year-old daughter Violet at the supermarket.
The “Catch and Release” actress was out and about in Brentwood, California armed with a shopping list and a toddler to pick up some groceries.
Garner looked cute and comfy in an oversized blue zip-up hoodie complete with a pair of baggy grey sweatpants and white sneakers, while Violet sported a pink and black dress with a pair of Velcro sneakers.
Meanwhile, Jen’s spokesperson recently bashed rumors that she and hubby Ben Affleck are having marital trouble, calling the claims “100% completely fabricated.” Affleck added, “We’re very happy. Things couldn’t be better. We’re kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home.”
