Drew Barrymore Discusses 100th Boyfriend With ‘Vogue’We haven’t seen the new Vogue with Drew Barrymore on the cover yet, but People has, and in it Drew Barrymore apparently talks about Justin Long, the “Mac guy” and, by Daily Intel’s guesstimate, Drew’s 100th serious boyfriend. As is usual with Magical Drew, Long is enamored beyond reason or indeed shame, telling the writer that Drew is full of “beauty and light, and she shines it on everybody who comes into contact with her.” And as usual Drew is the happiest and most in love she’s ever been. “My cheeks hurt, I’m so happy!” she says. Aw! She doesseem happy! Almost as happy as she did when she was talking to Bazaar in 1996 about an unnamed suitor (Jamie Walters? Tom Green?). “I’ve been seeing him for about six months,” she said then, “and I’m madly, madly, madly in love. I’ve totally met the person I want to have children with. Without question.” Or even in 2006, after she had been seeing Fabrizio Moretti for several years. “Our love is very functional and kind and supportive and communicative,” she said. “It’s, like, a love that puts good energy onto the world, yet it’s private and sacred. It’s just a beautiful thing in my life.” Oh, Drew. As the women of India wish upon one another the blessing of 100 sons, we wish Drew 100 more boyfriends with which she can be this happy. Because the day she stops having new boyfriends is the day we will probably be dead.

Pregnant J.Lo Still Wears ‘Gucci Gucci Goo!’We were delighted to discover when we arrived at Wednesday’s Gucci party that we weren’t the only ones totally awestruck in the presence of Madonna. As we interviewed Women’s Murder Club star Angie Harmon, she became visibly nervous when Madonna walked up the red carpet behind her. “I’ve been running around Fashion Week,” she stuttered, trying to stay on topic. Then she interrupted herself and burst out to her date, hairdresser Stephen Knoll, “Did you just say ‘Hi’ to Madonna?!” she gushed. “I’m totally freaking out! You said ‘Hi’ to Madonna!” Harmon turned back to us and admitted, “I can’t handle it! I’ve never met her. Probably won’t get up the nerve to do it tonight. Look at Lourdes! Look at how big she is! I bet she has a British accent.” We bet she does, too. Most of the rest of the celebrities, who included Jennifer Lopez, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gwen Stefani, Salma Hayek, and Drew Barrymore, didn’t stop to chat on the red carpet. But when we asked the hugely pregnant Lopez what she was wearing when she tottered by on four-inch heels, she replied, “Gucci Gucci Goo!”

The Fug Girls: Since When Is Jessica Simpson a Spinster?Now it really stinks to be Jessica Simpson. When her new boyfriend, Tony Romo, played his worst football game of the season in her presence, tabloids and his teammates alike christened her a walking curse. And last week, the cover of Us deemed her “Tortured by Regret” on the premise that she bailed on her marriage and now can’t keep a man. Essentially, at the ripe old age of 27, she’s been deemed a washed-up dud. We don’t even like her, and we think that’s rotten.

The Internet Finally Thinks of a Comeback for Ann CoulterFor some reason, Ann Coulter’s comment that Jews should be “perfected” has really gotten the Internet going (as opposed to her comments that 9/11 widows are “self-obsessed” and “enjoying” their husbands’ deaths, or that John Edwards is a “faggot,” yadda yadda yadda). Coulter said the quote to Donny Deutsch (a Jew) on his show, The Big Idea, last week. But like you, the Internet sometimes comes up with its best responses several days after a slight is delivered. Like today’s salvo from a hacker, who broke into Coulter’s Website and put up an open letter purporting to be from the ice queen herself. “I’ve been participating in a charade for nearly eleven years, now. Quite frankly, I’m sick of it,” wrote the faux Coulter. “You have all been a part of a sick joke that I began considering shortly after first getting on the air. At first, it was quite interesting to see how people would react when I would use twisted logic and poorly masked bigotry. But eleven years is a long time to be living a fake life, and I can no longer tolerate this falsity.” It was funny because it uncannily said what most people (okay, most people we know) assume has been going on in Coulter’s head all along. Equally harsh was Maxim.com’s effort, the image you can see above. It’s a map of how Coulter herself can be “perfected.” At first we thought it wasn’t as clever (“remove swastika from heiny?”), but then we realized that when Coulter sees the instruction “remove penis or make smaller,” she’s totally going to be mad she didn’t say that about Hillary Clinton first.
