Drew Barrymore Set To Direct Juno Star
What do you get when you combine Juno with Charlie's Angels? The roller-derby movie Whip It!, starring Juno lead Ellen Page and directed by Charlie's Angels executive producer and star DREW BARRYMORE.
The $10 million production – which marks Barrymore's directorial debut – will begin filming this summer in Texas, where Page will play a reluctant beauty-pageant contestant who instead finds her way in the rough-and-tumble world on skates.
"I've been working toward the goal of directing my entire life," Barrymore, 32, tells Variety. "Whip It! is a story that really spoke to me."
"I really admire how Drew constantly challenges herself as an artist," added Page, 20. "She's proven herself as an actress and a producer, and I have no doubt she'll bring great vision and creativity to the director's chair. I can't wait to kick ass on wheels!"

Barrymore Can’t Believe Her ‘Hollywood Beauty’ Tag
Actress DREW BARRYMORE is amazed she has been declared a ‘Hollywood beauty’ as she has struggled with acne her whole life.
The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star said that she is always struggling with acne problem and battles to keep her skin clear.
“My only beauty recommendation is zit cream. I couldn’t live without it. I get zits all the time and they annoy me more than anything else in the world. I’ve used every face wash, acne cream, everything,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
The 32-year-old actress also admitted that she still lacks confidence in her appearance.
“It’s so funny because people say, ‘You’ve got such great skin’, and I’m like, ‘Are you kidding?’
“I guess now I’m getting older I’m getting more wrinkles to go with the pimples. Sometimes now, I think I’m starting to look like something out of Night of the Living Dead!” she added.

Drew Barrymore And Boyfriend Flee Bar Fight
Drew Barrymore and boyfriend Justin Long were forced to flee a Hollywood bar over the weekend following a fight with a rude photographer.
The couple was partying at Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood when a fellow reveler approached them and took a photograph with a small digital camera without asking for their permission.
Angry Barrymore complained about the invasion of privacy to a manager, prompting a brawl over club security.
An eyewitness tells In Touch Weekly magazine, "Drew and Justin ran out of there as quickly as they could."
Police arrived to break up the fight after the star couple left.
Star spotter David Abithol claims he was punched for taking pictures of Barrymore and her actor beau, but protests to the publication that he was just a fan trying to take a picture.
