News have been a bit slow lately but here’s an article from Collider which tells us that Drew’s co-stars in Everybody Loves Whales, among others, will be Ken Kwapis and John Krasinski. Some new information about the movie is also featured.

John Krasinski and Drew Barrymore are set to star in director Ken Kwapis’ (License to Wed) Whales. Universal Pictures hopes to shoot this fall – depending on Krasinski’s Office schedule. The movie is based on a real event from 1988 when a trio of California gray whales got trapped under the ice in the Arctic Circle.

Krasinski will play a small town newspaper reporter who breaks the story. Barrymore plays a Greenpeace activist, and they turn the potential tragedy into an international story. The incident created a temporary Cold War thaw as President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev found a common cause. They interceded to save the whales.

Since certain countries hunt whales and the magnificent creatures are still threatened (how quickly everyone forgot what Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home taught us), I’m on board with any movie that might help save some of them in the future. Even if Ken Kwapis is directing it.

Drew talks to NME Movies about Whip it! and how she wants people to interpret the movie.

Drew Barrymore has insisted that her directorial debut Whip It – a coming-of-age comedy-drama about roller derby – is not just for girls. She criticised the studio for marketing it as a “roller derby movie” – the bruising all-female sport – rather than a general comedy-drama for both sexes.

She told the Mirror: “It was upsetting to have a studio put out, ‘It’s a roller derby movie’. I kept encouraging them to market to boys and men, because there was a sports element and when I go to roller derby games there are a lot of males. They love the sexiness, the raunchiness and the fun-ness of these girls beating the crap out of each other.”

The film stars Ellen Page as a frustrated teen who find acceptance playing for her nearby roller derby team.

She added: “I’m a woman so I’m going to make stories about women because I understand them, but I’m also a boy and I can’t stand the term ‘chick flick’. That turns me off. I’m as turned off by that as any guy because I am a ‘dude’.

“I have a very male mentality. The comedy in the film is not little girl comedy. It’s boy comedy, it’s androgynous comedy.”

Drew Barrymore talked to ContactMusic.com about her worst fashion decision: the green Gucci dress she wore to the 2006 Golden Globes, which made her “boobs look like watermelons.”

She said, “Never wear a high neck dress with a high belt. It makes your tits look like they are at your waist. It was the Golden Globes. I felt so bad. I was like, ‘I’m so sorry, Gucci. I have tarnished your name.”
