  • Drew Barrymore: Family First, Shed Pregnancy Weight Later

    Drew Barrymore gave birth to her second child, daughter Frankie, in April. Daughter Olive is just two years old. Family comes first for the actress, but she’s acting less these days in order to spend time with her family. Drew also talked about her post-pregnancy weight, although she doesn’t appear to give it too much thought. She claims it’s all part of getting her priorities straight.

    In a conversation with People magazine at the Refinery29 L.A. Holiday Party last week, Drew explained a bit about that prioritization.

    “The acting has to be less and less because it’s too time-consuming. I love it and I don’t want to abandon it, but it can’t be at the forefront right now,” Barrymore explained, adding just how much she loves her cosmetics line, Flower Beauty, “because it allows [her] to be a great mom.”

    “It’s a balance of who gets the attention, and it’s a tightrope,” she adds. “But it’s also a wonderful, amazing journey to raise two kids that love each other.”

    Drew Barrymore is just now–eight months following Frankie’s birth–thinking about shedding some of those pregnancy pounds.

    “It took nine months to build. It should take nine months to get off,” she said. “I wanted fettuccini alfredo. I didn’t want a barbell.”

    “I was like, ‘Don’t talk to me about how fast and fabulous you are or it came off. That was not my experience. I’m having to work my ass off until I even think about getting it off.”

    Drew brought both Olive and Frankie to a recent charity event in L.A., where they joined Jessica Alba and her children in support of Baby2Baby, a charity that provides items for children in low-income families.

    Kudos to Drew Barrymore for working less and spending more time with her daughters and her husband, Will Kopelman. She will never regret the time taken for her family, as well as the time spent helping others.

    And as for that plate of fettucine Alfredo? Maybe she should have just one more serving. She can start losing that baby weight when everyone else hops on the fitness bandwagon–at the first of the year.

    When you compare Drew Barrymore to so many Hollywood moms who start starving themselves just weeks after their babies are born in order to look good for the camera–it’s plain to see she has her act together. Her children and her husband will likely thank her one day for being so grounded in a world where so many others aren’t.

  • Drew Barrymore, Ciara Show Off Baby Bumps at Safe Kids Event

    Drew Barrymore, Ciara Show Off Baby Bumps at Safe Kids Event

    Drew Barrymore and Ciara showed off their very pregnant baby bellies at a Safe Kids event on Saturday.

    Barrymore and Ciara were two of many celebrities who took part in Safe Kids Day in Los Angeles. The event was essentially an educational playdate to raise funds and awareness of preventable childhood injuries.

    Malin Akerman, Tom Arnold, Piers Morgan, Giuliana Rancic, Vanna White, and Kendra Wilkinson also lent star power to the event.

    “I try to have a sense of humor about how [much] you need to learn and tackle, and how to remain fun-loving and not, like, uptight because there’s so much to care about and to learn about,” Barrymore said in advance of the Kids Safe event.

    “I’ve never been so worried in my life about making sure that something I care about more than I’ve ever cared in my life is safe and intact.”

    Barrymore’s daughter Olive Barrymore Kopelman was born in September 2012. In December 2013 Barrymore revealed that she and husband Will Kopelman would welcome another daughter to the family in 2014.

    Barrymore has said that motherhood has altered how she sees her career.

    “It used to be work first and now it’s life first … So even though I’m doing a lot, there’s a lot of things that have slowed down. I don’t make that many movies anymore. I’m not really producing right now. And I’m trying to do jobs where I can work from home or be at home by dinnertime if I do have to go out to meetings. You just sort of change your life.”

    In January Barrymore published a book of photography titled Find It in Everything.

    Blended, in which she stars with Adam Sandler, is scheduled to release in May.

    Barrymore is also the owner of Flower Beauty, a line of makeup and nail polish sold exclusively at Walmart.

    Ciara announced during a January 2014 appearance on The View that she and fiancé Future are expecting their first child together.

  • Drew Barrymore Says She’s A Worried Mom

    Drew Barrymore Says She’s A Worried Mom

    While attending Safe Kids Day, a program that deals with childhood safety and injury prevention, actress Drew Barrymore said she worries about her child getting hurt all the time.

    And considering she’s currently in her ninth month of pregnancy, and she’ll be a mother for the second time, her level of worry is only increasing, she says, although she’s trying to get a handle on it.

    “I try to have a sense of humor about how [much] you need to learn and tackle, and how to remain fun-loving and not, like, uptight because there’s so much to care about and to learn about,” said the 39-year-old, who’s married to Will Kopelman, the son of Arie Kopelman, Chanel’s CEO.

    “I’ve never been so worried in my life about making sure that something I care about more than I’ve ever cared in my life is safe and intact.”

    But one way Barrymore copes with being perpetually worried is by seeking out mothers who know way more, because the actress didn’t come from a mom, dad, and white picket fence kind of background, so she needs all the help she can get, she said.

    The actress also stated it’s extremely important to always do your research as a mom, and apply that research in the best and most consistent way possible.

    “I think the best thing to do in life, or certainly what I’ve done in my life, not really having a traditional family, is you find the enlightened people,” said Barrymore. “If you do your homework and really apply yourself…that’s a way to absolve the fears and get proactive.”

    And being a mom has slowed down the Charlie’s Angels actress considerably, she said, and if you think about it, she hasn’t been in movies at all that much recently, and it seems she’s producing less projects these days as well, as Barrymore owns the movie production company Flower Films.

    “It used to be work first and now it’s life first,” said Barrymore. “So even though I’m doing a lot, there’s a lot of things that have slowed down. I don’t make that many movies anymore. I’m not really producing right now. And I’m trying to do jobs where I can work from home or be at home by dinnertime if I do have to go out to meetings.”

  • Drew Barrymore Is Pregnant With Her Second Child

    Drew Barrymore is now expecting her second child, just 13 months after the birth of her daughter, Olive. She is pregnant with Will Kopelman’s second child, and the couple have been married since 2012. She grew up as an only child, and has always wanted a big family.

    The news of her second baby also comes just over a month after she announced on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno that she wanted to have another baby right away. It looks like the actress’ wishes were granted, and Olive will be a big sister in a matter of months.

    Barrymore has enjoyed a very successful career as an actress, and also starting business ventures such as a recent line of makeup. The 38-year-old actress is glad that she took them to live a full life and experiencing her wild times while she could, including a Playboy shoot in 1995. In 2012, she told Allure magazine, “I’m glad I lived such a full life before I settled down into a family because I got to enjoy it and get it out of my system.”

    Drew Barrymore got her start earlier than most actresses, and was adored as a child actress for her roles in E.T. and Stephen King’s Firestarter. Since then, she has appeared in several romance and comedy films, but has taken a break from the spotlight in order to concentrate on her family and other projects, such as a photography book, which is set to be released in January.

    She has already exposed her tiny baby bump when showing up in public in West Hollywood on Sunday, November 3rd. Despite her busy childhood, and how kids of stars are often exposed, she has said that she does not want that for either of her kids, and clearly stated that “It has nothing to do with whether I liked my childhood. I really did. But as a parent, that isn’t the childhood that I’d provide.”

    Drew Barrymore, along with her husband Will Kopelman, will be very excited to welcome their baby boy or girl into the world, and expand their family. Fans of the star can expect more gushing news about the pregnancy in the months to come, as she continues to adore her time as a mother, and telling the rest of the world about her experiences.

  • Drew Barrymore Wants Another Baby ASAP

    Drew Barrymore Wants Another Baby ASAP

    Drew Barrymore is ready for another baby. The well-known Hollywood actress revealed that she wants a second baby already during an interview with Jay Leno. Her first child was just born a year ago, a daughter named Olive. She had Oliver with her husband Will Kopelman, whom she has been married to since June of 2012.

    E Online says that the couple had an intimate ceremony in Montecito, California. It was attended by family and friends and did not attract the attention that some celebrity weddings do. Guests also danced to a 80’s cover band, as they played the favorite hit songs of theirs.

    Barrymore is certainly enjoying her new status of motherhood, and wants to give her daughter a baby brother or sister as soon as possible. They plan to enjoy their time with Olive as they get ready to increase the size of their family, enjoying every moment with the little one. She raved on about her smarts and said “She says a lot of words.”

    Barrymore has appeared in many films, beginning her career as a child star in E.T., Steven Spielberg’s 80’s classic. Since then, she has appeared in many dramas and romantic comedies. Her last film Big Miracle, was released in 2012, and she is currently work on a film called The Familymoon, which is set for a 2014 release date. She also has a photography book coming out in January called Find It Everything, which has photos of heart-shaped images that Barrymore has been taking on her own for over a decade, according to NBC News.

    She says that her daughter Olive will be walking in next week, and is very excited about the news. Barrymore grew up as an only child, and perhaps because of that, she wants to grow a big family of her own. It sounds as if having a big family has always been a plan of hers, and she wants to be like the Griswold’s from the National Lampoon’s films. She said during the interview with Leno, “I want the kids in the back rolling their eyes at mom and dad. I want Rusty and Audrey, theme parks and the whole nine.”

  • Will Kopelman Quietly Marries Drew Barrymore

    Actress Drew Barrymore has led a tumultuous life, and a good deal of it has involved relationships. She’s been married a couple of times (to bar owner Jeremy Thomas and actor Tom Green), engaged a couple of times, and everything in between. Now, after surviving a rocky childhood filled with celebrities and hard partying, a teenage overdose, and a slew of relationships, Barrymore is ready to settle down and is expecting her first child with art consultant Will Kopelman, whom she quietly married over the weekend at her home.

    The affair was small and intimate and included only the couple’s closest friends and family; the ceremony was traditionally Jewish and was performed by Kopelman’s family’s rabbi.

    Barrymore has had a rough past with her own family, estranged from her father for years before he passed away and seeking emancipation from her mother at a young age. She told Ellen DeGeneres earlier this year that she loves Kopelman’s family and feels at home with them, something that has always been important to her in a relationship.

    “He has this incredible family,” she said. “I am as in love with his family as I am with him. Which is an extraordinary sort of gift. You never take that for granted…It really is an absolute blessing. I feel very lucky. They’re incredible people.”
