Thumb Or No, Drew Is A Fine Sight For Sore E

Drew Barrymore certainly is a survivor. She was a drunk by age 9, a coke-snorter at age 13, in recovery at 14, married and divorced by 19 and, soon afterward, posing nude for Playboy.

Clearly, at age 23, the former “E.T.” starlet has lived most of two lifetimes. But if the specifics sound glamorous, don’t try to tell her that she herself is a glamour girl. “My God, no! Look at me,” she told the Associated Press. “Look at this,” she said, indicating her body. “That’s not sexy!

I’m, like, such a geek.”

She is, in fact, pretty much what she plays in the Adam Sandler comedy “The Wedding Singer”: a sweet-smiling presence with a bathing-beauty body who boasts a distinct lack of ego.

“I’m not one of the hip people,” she said. “I stick out like a sore thumb in a crowd of the hip people. It’s so embarrassing.”

So why don’t marrieds Mickey Rourke and Carrie Otis have any children? Blame it on Rourke’s boxing career. He does. “There’s some kind of gland that doesn’t produce the right hormone for me to have children,” he said on a British television program.

It takes a lot to get Hong Kong star Chow down

Chow Yun-Fat isn’t likely to go Hollywood anytime soon. The 42-year-old Hong Kong action star, who stars in “The Replacement Killers” with Mira Sorvino, grew up with a healthy work ethic. “In Hong Kong, we shoot like crazy,” Hong Kong director Ringo Lam told People magazine. “I always forget lunch, and he always complains on behalf of the crew.”

Hey, mom, don’t start thinkin’ about tomorrow

Baby Lourdes, Madonna’s 16-month-old daughter, is a big fan of rock music. And it’s not her mother’s. Madonna told MTV that she took the toddler to her first concert last fall, a reunion tour of Fleetwood Mac. “She was very enthusiastic,” Madonna said. “She was on my lap clapping her hands.”

Don’t do the boo-hoo, just have some fun-fun Who is comic

Jamie Foxx’s kind of woman? “My girl is the girl you grew up with,” he says. “A little chunky, a little ghetto,” he told Vibe magazine. “I stick with the little chunkies. You know, quit with that fen-phen and get you some foo-food.”
