Drew Barrymore

The granddaughter of John Barrymore and grandniece of Ethel Barrymore and Lionel Barrymore, Drew Blythe Barrymore was born in Culver City, California on February 22, 1975. Drew Barrymore is the heir of a Hollywood dynasty of respected thespians, many of whom tragically self-destructed. She is half Hungarian from her mothers side, Ildiko Jaid. Steven Spielberg is her godfather. From there, she didn't waste much time getting in front of the cameras, making her first commercial at nine months and her first television movie, Suddenly Love, at the age of two.

At age six, on an audition for Poltergeist, 1982, Drew landed a role in what would become one of the most popular films in movie history, Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, 1982. Since that time, her unique talent and on-screen charisma have earned her critical acclaim, and her movies, box-office success.
Troubled times came for Barrymore when she tried alcohol for the first time at age 9, and marijuana at 10. Soon after, she turned to cocaine and stirred controversy with her near nude appearances in Far From Home, and was forced into ASAP Family Treatment Center, a drug rehab clinic. Drew has done just about everything to live up to all of the expectations of a Barrymore, good and bad.
July 1989 was her all-time low; she unsuccessfully attempted suicide, and was sent back to rehab. The flip side of this child stardom was revealed when she dropped out of school at 14 and published her co-written autobiography, Little Girl Lost, 1990.
Her career began its recovery with roles in Poison Ivy, 2000 Malibu Road, and The Amy Fisher Story (the telefilm). Barrymore tends to fare best in high-spirited, low-class projects like Guncrazy, 1992, The Amy Fisher Story. More nudity followed with an appearance in the 1995 issue of Playboy, one of the most popular issues ever.
Drew was one of three actresses to play the award winning Long Island Lolita in the telefilm, The Amy Fisher Story.
Less than two months after her March 1994 marriage to an LA bar owner, Drew filed for divorce. Drew is now a spokesperson, and actress for a women's condom commercial which aired on MTV.
Drew has appeared in a provocative series of print ads for Guess Jeans. She had a small, but sexy appearance in Wayne's World 2 in 1993. Drew then co-starred in the Western, Bad Girls in 1994. She increased her popularity tremendously in 1995 with the release of Boys on the Side, Mad Love and Batman Forever.
In 1996, Barrymore's image underwent an abrupt and effective transformation from slut to sweetheart. With a brief but memorable role in Wes Craven's Scream and a lead in Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You that featured her as a Kelly Girl for the '90s, Barrymore's career received an adrenaline shot to the heart. She began working steadily again, and she reshaped her off screen persona into that of a delightful and sweet-natured girl trying to mend her ways.
Further roles included The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler, Ever After, Home Fries. Never Been Kissed is her company's, Flower Films, first released movie. Her partner in Flower Films is Nancy Jevonen.
After the blockbuster Charlie's Angels, produced by her company Flower Films, Drew starred in Riding in Cars With Boys, appeared in Tom Green's disaster Freddy Got Fingered (they were married for five months in 2001), and stars in 2002's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. She will also reprise her role of Dylan as one third of the angelic trio, for the sequel of Charlie's Angels.

I will never make a sex tape: Megan

Hollywood beauty Megan Fox seems to have learnt the lesson from the embarrassing experiences of her fellow celebrities like Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson and has vowed never to make a sex tape.

The Transformers star who has been voted the 'Sexiest Woman Alive' in two years in a row, said that seeing herself having sex will turn her off the act forever, reported MTV online.
"Ugh, never! That's the last thing I want to see- what I look like having sex. It would take one shot of me not looking good and I would not be able to have sex ever again," said Fox.
The 23-year-old actress who is reportedly back again with her on-off boyfriend Brian Austin Green, said that she prefers to keep that part of her life to herself.
"Literally all I have left are my private parts and I don't want to also share them with the world. I'd like to keep them private. That's why they're called that," said the actress adding that she would never go nude on-screen.

"It lives forever, especially now, with the Internet. I just can't. I just can't," said the actress.
