What is going on with Drew Barrymore?

Seriously. I don't even know what to say about this thing. Did you ever see the Friends episode where Chandler decides not to be so sarcastic (or something), and thus he is constantly being confronted with moments that are perfectly set up for snide comments, and he is essentially reduced to clapping his hand over his mouth? That's how I feel looking at this, except my hand is clapped over my mouth to keep the nonsense in, because this get-up has provoked SO MANY varied responses to me that my only reaction is gibberish. I mean it. Two minutes ago, I basically wrote, "SLANKET grunge 90s TIME TRAVEL SACK scarf hair TOGA picnic drunk."

Okay, so that basically covers it, right?

Fug It!

SIGH,
transparency

Okay, so Drew Barrymore is on her way in to a local post-production facility (if the photo caption is correct), and that probably means she's just settling in for a day of trying to work on her directorial debut Whip It! and that I should just let her be comfortable in whatever the heck she wants. But I just need to make sure I am not hallucinating this:

Drew IS wearing a bikini tube top that looks like a giant speed bump underneath a see-through Hanes-type undershirt, an orthopdic wrist brace, and pants that MIGHT be leggings and which are patterned in some sort of sci-fi take on argyle. Right? I'm not the only one seeing this? Because between the outfit and those shades, if you told me I passed out and hit my head on the desk, and woke up having drawn the storyboards for a John Hughes movie where Anthony Michael Hall tries to start a pop band with Drew, Ally Sheedy, Lea Thompson, and Andrew Dice Clay, I might believe you.

You The Jury: Drew Barrymore

Fug file:

Folks are swooning over more of Drew Barrymore's Grey Gardens press tour looks, but I find myself riding the fence, no matter how hard I try to get off because it's giving me unpleasant (not to mention unsightly) splinters. So let's just put her on trial, shall we?

Exhibit A:

The prosecution opens by asking if Drew borrowed this from a much taller woman, or if it's just that she only shaved her legs up to mid-calf; it then follows with an argument that saddle-shoe/orthopedic sandal hybrids are too aggressive when you're showing so little leg. The lead attorney passes around flyers to raise funds for the American Association of Stumpification, which is trying to build awareness of this tragic national affliction.

The defense leaps up and points out that, okay, while one COULD construe the color as being very Mother of the Bride, it's also very striking and pretty against Drew's skin. As the prosecution begins flipping through a copy of Bobbi Brown's makeup manual to see if there's a chapter on whether it's advisable to match one's eye makeup to one's outfit, one of the assistants begins sneezing and apologizes to the judge, pointing out that he is allergic to hay and therefore Drew's hair is setting off an attack. The defense throws some Kleenex and a bottle of Afrin at the prosecution's table, noting that the peacock hair clip is actually rather cool and the updo is artfully dishevelled rather than ill-attended bedhead. When the argument reaches a fever pitch, the judge bangs the gavel and warns the author of this post that any further ham-handed use of Drew Barrymore's resume in this post will result in punishment.

Now onto Exhibit B:

Drew Fuggymore

Fug file:

I'll say this for Drew Barrymore: She's got a taste for big drama. First she went through that phase in January/February where she wore the exact same cat-eye makeup, pink lipstick, and sixties-themed hair everywhere she went -- from the Golden Globes to Ellen -- and then she went with that costumey outfit for the Grey Gardens premiere, which may have been pretty but I felt like I was being whacked upside the head with a board that said "DREW BARRYMORE IS IN A PERIOD PIECE!!" and had HBO's channel number and all the air times written on it.

And now, she's shown up at Letterman wearing two drawstring handbags on her elbows.

Down side: The effect is that she's a very exotic insect indeed. The plus side: It's going to be super hard for a pickpocket to swipe her cell-phone, wallet, or Metro Card without getting REALLY friendly.

Fug or Fab: Drew Barrymore

Fug file:

Okay, first of all: we get it.

Second of all, this dress is -- undeniably -- gorgeous. Thirdly: that doesn't mean it works on her. D) Have you SEEN the tag line for Grey Gardens? It's something like, "the true story of Jackie O's incredible relatives." I'M NOT KIDDING. How freaking lazy is that? I mean, I guess it's DIRECT, but it's also BORING and doesn't seem to convey the idea that Drew is playing a woman who regularly wore her skirt on her head as a fashion statement. I'm serious. That needs to be better conveyed, and "Jackie O's crazy relatives!" doesn't do it. On the other hand, this would be an amusing trend. Like, "Terminator Salvation: Yeah, Yeah, This Is the Movie Where Bale Lost His Shit." Or, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: The Awesome One With All the Flashbacks and Stuff, But Be Warned BAD THINGS HAPPEN AT THE END.." (iv) I guess that doesn't have anything to do with the matter at hand, but I had to get that out.

Fug or Fab: Drew Barrymore

When I first saw this pic, I was like, "Drew looks great!" and then I looked at it closer, and I was all, "DOES Drew look great?"

[Photo: Splash News]

My internal monologue went something like, yes. No. Yes. I love the shoes. I don't know about the hair. No. No, she doesn't. Wait. Yes. She really does. She looks adorable. I don't know. Is it that flattering? Sure it is. She looks totally cute. I don't know, but I feel like she could have looked BETTER. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't like Cadbury Creme eggs. No, I think she does look cute. Is Tim Riggins returning to Friday Night Lights, and if not, whatever will I do? No, she looks mediocre. No, cute. Mediocre. Super cute. RIGGINS! I love her. No, I don't. Well, you don't HATE her. No, that's true. I like her fine. That length is good on her. What should I have for lunch? You haven't even had breakfast. I wonder where I put my pants. I DO like this. Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. I DON'T. No, I actually do.

Fug's Fug Fug Into Fug: The Others

Fug file:

We here at GFY are nothing if not fair: We have a rigid Intern George time-sharing schedule, for instance; we never eat the last Twinkie without offering to split it into thirds; and we hardly EVER cheat at any of our epic Uno tournaments. So, in the name of that unflinching dispassion, I figure we might as well complete the pentagon, as it were -- we've had at Jennifer Connelly, Jennifer Aniston, and Scarlett Johansson, so let's have a gander at He's Just Not That Into You's other unfortunate participants, Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin.

Side note: How weird must it have been on that set, with Jennifer, Jennifer, AND Ginnifer? Maybe they referred to them as Jennifer, Jen, and... Gin, although frankly, anyone running around a movie set screaming for Gin probably instead received a lot of sympathetic looks at at least one giant bottle of Beefeater. Maybe the next person to do a movie with Ms. Goodwin should try that one. You're welcome.

Ahem. Where was I? Ah yes: Let's start as every day should, with Gin.

It's hard to muster up much excitement, because in general, Ginnifer herself didn't -- I'm not sure I saw a single picture where she was smiling, except maybe for one in which she greeted somebody. Too bad, really, because she SHOULD be happy. She's fantastic on Big Love (and holy cheese sandwich, wasn't Sunday's episode brilliant? Wow), no one will remember she was even IN this movie in about six months, her hair looks really pretty and healthy, and that color totally works on her. Perhaps she's frustrated that her skirt is wrinkled. Maybe her necklace of giant amber kryptonite has sapped her of the ability to use her facial muscles. Or maybe the tight leather bonds of those shoes are cutting off her circulation, and she's embarrassed, because the second she tries to take a step her sleeping feet will betray her and send her tumbling toward a date with a mouthful of musty, moldy red carpet. Which is probably not the rebound relationship she had hoped to throw in Chris Klein's face. We may never know why she was so glum, but on the whole, I think she looked the best of all five ladies.

This leaves us with Drew Barrymore:

Golden Globes Fug Carpet: Drew Barrymore

Oh, Drew. I'm glad you're having a good time, at least:

Having that kind of a good attitude can get a girl through all kinds of problems: break-ups, job drama, having people make fun of your hair on the Internets...

So, this went badly:

So, let me see if I've gleaned the correct message from this cover: this Spring, it will be the height of chic for women previously renowned for their cute, off-kilter spunkiness and sexy regular-girl charm to re-envision themselves as stoned-looking, moderately greasy mannequins with quasi-80s hair, wearing a scrunchie as a top? Good to know.
