Drew's Charitable Heart

By the time yesterday's Oprah had ended, Drew Barrymore had not only expressed her feelings about her cutie of a boyfriend Justin Long, but more importantly, made the HUGE announcement that she was donating $1 million to the World Food Progamme.

Barrymore, a UN ambassador and the current Vogue cover girl, appeared on Monday's Oprah for a big give of her own during the themed show. After both her and Long were questioned about their blossoming romance by Winfrey, (we'll get to that a little later) Barrymore presented a check for $1 million dollars to the World Food Programme, which will help feed children in Africa. Barrymore, who has worked with the charity since 2005, has already made two trips to Kenya and seen for herself what a big impact she is making. "I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child's life," the actress told Winfrey. "It helps them learn, stay healthy, and sets them on track for a bright future." Best friend Cameron Diaz even phoned in, expressing how proud she was of her donation, saying that she was "choked up."

Barrymore, like I mentioned before, also opened up about her and Long's relationship. Both "fresh" out of the shower after using the hotel shampoo, (Barrymore revealed after Winfrey asked why she smelled so good) Barrymore described Long as her best friend and the relationship as "healthy, productive, supportive and full of humor," also stating that they were having an "excellent time."

And what does Long have to say about his lady love?

"She smells good," Long told Winfrey. "She's beautiful," he said, "and funny. The most compassionate person I've ever met."

Definitely rooting for Drustin!

Drew Barrymore - The New CoverGirl

Drew Barrymore was officially announced the new face of CoverGirl last Wednesday. She grew up with tearsheets of models such as Cheryl Tiegs, Rachel Hunter and Christie Brinkley plastered on her bedroom like wallpaper. Well this January, another young girl can do the same with her photo. She joins the ranks of her idols to become the newest face of CoverGirl cosmetics.

When the announcement was made in Los Angeles where the 32-year-old actress has just wrapped up the CoverGirl spots, dressed in a canary yellow Carolina Herrera shift dress and grass green Christian Louboutin heels, the "Charlie's Angels" actress seemed to glow from the attention. She said

I am honored to be associated with a brand that has been at the forefront of their industry for almost 55 years. CoverGirl had managed to change with the times, yet stay in touch with women of all ages and backgrounds.

This is a two-way deal: Barrymore isn't just appearing in ads, she's co-creator of them - her first foray into commercials. Before any wardrobe or beauty decisions were made at Monday's print shoot, Barrymore says she was consulting on the concept, graphics, lighting and how the photo would be cropped. However, she leaves the makeup and product up to them, as it's their expertise.

What I want to do is honor the tradition of CoverGirl but hopefully bring myself and my personality into it, as well as some edgy fashion-forward thinking and positivity to it.

This isn't the first time Drew Barrymore has used her face for a campaign. In 1993, the then 18-year-old mugged for Guess Jeans and more recently was the face for Missoni.

It's Drew's strength that led the company to seek her out. Esi Eggleston Bracey, vice president and general manager of CoverGirl Cosmetics North America said,

We partnered with Drew because she emulates the iconic image of CoverGirl with her fresh, natural beauty and energetic yet authentic spirit.

Despite having a bit of a bumpy adolescence growing up as a child star in Hollywood, Drew Barrymore has come a long way it seems.
