Drew Barrymore Single for 30 Seconds

Great news for the eight of you who still secretly harbor that boyhood crush on Drew Barrymore. According to Us Weekly, the actress has called it quits with her boyfriend of five years, Fabrizio Moretti, the drummer for The Strokes.

According to sources, Drew, who is five years older than Moretti, “said they needed time off.” Moretti has reportedly moved back into his own apartment.

The two seemed like a good match, according to their friends. Says Barrymore pal Courtney Love, “Drew has always had a taste for subculture,” which doesn’t seem to mean anything at all in this context. In fact, the more I try to make it mean something in this context, the more my head hurts. Can we just get back to fabricating quotes that make sense, Us Weekly?

Oh, good. Here are some more quotes from “sources” regarding the split: “He’s younger, and she’s more worldly. He doesn’t like the Hollywood stuff. He doesn’t get her friends.”

But don’t rev up those E.T. fantasies yet, boys. “This is exactly what happened last time they took a break,” says a source, from which we’re apparently supposed to infer that they might get back together. Because, you know, the last time they took a break, they totally took a break. Just like this time. See? Subculture. Continued the source, “Lemonade. Tattoo. Engine coolant,” from which it is clear that Drew just adopted a cat.

Brad Pitt Maybe Not As Smart As He Looks

Man, this is a gem. Thanks to Defamer for catching it. It comes via Variety on the Town, the new blog from Variety. The setting is the God Grew Tired of Us premiere, a Brad Pitt-produced film about children who walk for five years to escape a war-torn Sudan.

The reporter poses this simple question to Pitt: “Is civil war still going on in the Sudan?”

Brad Pitt looked at me with something between dismay and horror. “Oh, come on. You’re smarter than that. It’s worse than ever.”

Googling proved he was right - I am smarter than that. The second Sudanese civil war (north vs. south) began in January 1983 and ended with the signing of a peace agreement in January 2005. Now Sudan must contend with the genocide in Darfur, located in westernmost Sudan, as well as war with the neighboring state of Chad.

Oh, man. Stay very still and quiet for a minute. Listen carefully. That sound you hear? Is the precious, joyful laughter of Jennifer Aniston.

Via People:

Rocker Marilyn Manson is romantically involved with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood, sources close to the situation tell PEOPLE.

The sources say his relationship with the Thirteen actress was a factor in the Dec. 29 divorce filing by Dita Von Teese, 34, Manson’s wife of one year.

“Dita is heartbroken, she didn’t see this coming,” says a source close to the burlesque dancer and MAC cosmetics model. “His partying contributed to the split as well.”

Movie-goers will predominantly know Evan from the critically acclaimed Thirteen, although she also played Natalie Finch in Running with Scissors, and she stars in the upcoming King of California with Michael Douglas.

Cowell Attacks Bob Dylan 40 Years Too Late

Here’s something from our sisters over at Page 6.

Quoth the Simon Cowell:

“Do I prefer Kelly Clarkson’s music to Bob Dylan’s? Yes. I’ve never bought a Dylan record. A singing poet? It just bores me to tears. I’ve got to tell you, if I had 10 Dylans in the final of ‘American Idol,’ we would not be getting 30 million viewers a week. I don’t believe the Bob Dylans of this world would make ‘American Idol’ a better show.”

Well I don’t either because Bob Dylan is a cool 65 years old. That’s even older than that Taylor guy who won last time. Also, anyone who likes Bob Dylan is probably pretty mellow. Not a lot of hopped up folk fans, so I’d say Cowell is going after a pretty soft target.

In fairness, Kelly Clarkson sucks pretty heavily sometimes too.
