The 'Whip It' director said she wouldn't go under the knife as she is more interested in watching her body change as she grows older.

Drew, 35, said: "F**k surgery! I'm so curious as to what's going to happen naturally that I can't imagine wanting to alter things just yet.

"And to all those women putting botulism in their faces - we don't know what the long-term effects are, so stop! I'd rather look like a basset hound than do that to my face!'

Drew Barrymore is a "girlie girl".

The 'Charlie's Angels' actress - who is dating actor Justin Long - says her style changes every day but everything she wears has a feminine aspect to it.

The 35-year-old actress revealed: "My style is totally eclectic. It depends on what mood I wake up in. Am I feeling retro 60s? Am I hippy chick from the 70?

"But I love floral patterns too - I'm actually a bit of a girlie girl."

Drew also spoke about her friendship with actress Cameron Diaz, saying she can confide in her about everything and knows she will always be given honest advice.

Drew added to new! magazine: "Cameron is one of my best friends. I think friendship is about being there for each other in the good and in the difficult times. It's just being honest, giving sound advice and helping each other laugh."

The 34-year-old actress - who made her directorial debut with 'Whip It!' - recently said she is comfortable with ageing but if the effects show too much, she plans to quit acting in favour of staying behind the camera.

She said: "It's the best time of my life - it's not traumatic at all. I don't think I've ever been happier. It's like the older I get, the better I get. Gravity and wrinkles are fine with me. They're a small price to pay for the new wisdom inside my head and my heart.

She wrote on her blog: "Anyone going to be in Las Vegas for Valentine's Day weekend? "I'm hosting a pre-Valentine's day affair, The Queen of Hearts Ball, at Lavo at The Palazzo on Saturday February 13 and it should be a lot of fun! Hope to see all you lovers in Vegas! :)."

About the married couple...Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have decided to give their love to other people on Valentine’s Day. The famous couple usually go crazy to show how much they care for each other on February 14. But now actor Kutcher has revealed this year they have decided to send flowers to women caught up in trafficking instead.
He told Entertainment Tonight: “Demi and I have done enough Valentine's Days together, where it's sort of like, we kind of set the bar pretty high early… “At a certain point we look at each other and go: ‘We’re not going to go crazy this year.’

“So this year we decided, instead of doing a big crazy thing for each other, that we'd share our love together with other people.
“So there is this organization in New York that works with traffic girls, so we are going to make all the girls that work with this organisation, our valentines this year. “And we are going to send them all flowers for Valentine’s Day, so these girls that are trafficking know they can be loved without anybody expecting anything in return.”

Drew Barrymore won't spend Valentine's Day (14.02.10) with her boyfriend.

The 34-year-old actress - who is rumoured to be engaged to actor Justin Long - tries to be a loving girlfriend every day and so doesn't want to turn the romantic festival into a big occasion, opting to spend it with her single pals instead.

She explained: "I don't really think about it very much other than just to be with the people you love. I don't think I've ever done that really conventional romantic thing.

"I like being with my friends and having a fun time. I feel so bad when that holiday makes people feel really bad, it's not fair."

The 'Charlie's Angels' star - who recently made her directorial debut with 'Whip It!' - also spoke about her love of filmmaking, saying the best part of being behind the cameras is finally feeling able to put across her true self.

She told Self magazine: "Just being able to convey my own human heart into a cinematic venue. I just wanted to talk about family and life and love and friendship, and trying to find your way into empowerment in life in a way that's also fun and funny. For me, it's just really trying to express myself into a film."

Drew Barrymore has poked fun at Sharon Osbourne on Saturday Night Live. The Whip It actress dressed up like former the X Factor and America’s Got Talent judge - complete with red hair and holding a Pomeranian – for the skit about a new show called Celebrity Ghost Stories.

In the sketch Barrymore talked about how her family’s home in Los Angeles was haunted by ghosts, which she had spotted in the garden and had folded sheets in the house, but they turned out to be Mexican cleaners. Barrymore’s boyfriend Justin Long also did an impersonation of Matthew McConaughey without his shirt on.

True Blood star Ryan Kwanten said he finds smart women like Jennifer Connelly sexy. Kwanten, 32, who plays the role of Ryan Stackhouse in the hit vampire show on HBO, admitted that looks aren't everything to him. He said to Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine: "I like the saying, 'Beauty to no complexion is confined, is of all colors and by none defined,' meaning what one person finds beautiful, someone else might not.
"That's why I have a problem with being called a sex symbol - it's such an unquantifiable factor. I've always found Jennifer Connelly appealing, both as a woman and actress. She's got a degree too, so she's a smart woman."

Kicking off another day of work duties, Drew Barrymore was spotted pepping up with a beverage boost in New York City on Thursday (October 8).

Joined by a male friend, the pair went to 'Think Coffee' before Miss Barrymore headed off to a “Saturday Night Live” rehearsal session.

Meanwhile, Drew recently made her directorial debut in the just-released film “Whip It”.

Talking about the flick, she tells, “If you think about it, it’s very close to me. It seems pretty obvious in a way. I have a tumultuous relationship with my mother, so obviously that story had a deep emotional interest to me—about women who are empowered and can be athletic and capable and kick ass out on the track and be their own heroes, and I think finding your tribe is everything. I certainly found it with my company. Every aspect of this story, including first love and rite of passage, and being able to rock out in the car with your best friend, these are all themes that are crucial to my life. I was able to tell my story.”

Page has teamed with HBO for "Stitch N' Bitch," a comedy she will write with two other young actors, Alia Shawkat and Sean Tillmann. The show follows two painfully cool hipster girls as they relocate from Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood to Los Angeles' Silver Lake enclave in hopes of becoming artists -- of any kind.

Page, Shawkat and Tillmann will executive produce the project. They might also star in the single-camera comedy; that decision will be made later.

The three worked together on the Drew Barrymore-directed "Whip It," which is in theaters. Page plays the lead, and Shawkat co-stars. Tillmann has a small role.

Page, an Oscar nominee for her breakthrough role in "Juno," is filming "Inception" opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Arrested Development" alumna Shawkat recently wrapped "The Runaways" and co-starred in "Amreeka." Tillmann also is a musician who goes by the stage names Har Mar Superstar and Sean Na Na.

Fresh off of a red carpet night on the town, Drew Barrymore was spotted being dropped off at LAX Airport in Los Angeles to catch an outbound flight on Wednesday (September 30).

The "Charlie's Angels" actress donned a pair of red shades as she hopped out of her chauffeured ride - ready to continue along with her "Whip It" promotional duties.

As for Drew's upcoming movie, she spoke to the New York Times about directing, saying, "People say, 'Did you always want to direct?' or 'Do you think you'll ever direct again?' I'm always very polite about it. Do you really think I haven't been preparing for this my whole life? And I'm just going to try it once and then never do it again? It baffles me. And then I just think, 'Oh God, they just don't know me.' "

Continuing on, Miss Barrymore adds, "I sort of collected everything from my whole life into this piggy bank, and I crashed it over the floor for this film."

Drew Barrymore badly bruised her leg while filming 'Whip It'.

The Hollywood actress - who makes her directorial debut and stars in the movie about a roller derby team - was left black and blue when a training session with Detroit Derby Girls star Racer McChasHer went wrong.

Drew explained: "We were wrestling and rolling around on the track, one of our skates and both our body weights were on my thigh. I had a bruise that was a foot long and a foot wide. My entire leg was covered."

However, the 34-year-old star has joked she didn't mind rolling around with the professional skater.

She added: "I don't think there's anything hotter or more fun to do than a girl fight!"

Drew is not the only actress to suffer an injury while making the movie.

Juliette Lewis recently revealed the co-stars constantly compared their "bad a*s" injuries on set.

She said: "Learning to skate, roller derby style, was a challenging task. But we all became bad a**es comparing bruises. Drew had one about eight inches long and five inches wide on the hip. I got some hip knots and a scraped chin, but thankfully no busted teeth. Bruises and scrapes are cool, busted teeth - not cool!"
