Drew Barrymore: Drew Barrymore On A Diet After Bursting Out Of Her Trousers: "Drew Barrymore says she realised the time had come to lose weight when she couldn't fit into her old trousers..

The sexy actress, famed for her voluptuous figure, didn't realise how much weight she had gained until she tried on some of her old clothes..

However, instead of going on a crash diet and starving herself back into shape, Drew took the sensible option of regular exercise.
She told America's Vogue magazine: 'I get so shy when I think people are looking. But I guess I was a lot heavier before and didn't notice the change as much because it's me. Except when I find my old pants. I saw a test screening of 'Fever Pitch', and I was like, 'Holy shit, my shape is different.'

'The thing that really changed is exercise. I didn't exercise before"

Drew Barrymore had to feed her family at three
Newz.in, Daily News From all Over the World: "Drew Barrymore has confessed that she was forced to act like an adult at three, as she was responsible for laying food on the table for her family.

'My father was never around and my mom and I both worked jobs to pay the rent. I never felt like a kid knowing your parents pay the rent and put food on the table.' Femalefirst quoted her as saying.

The actress, who began her career as a child artist and has struggled with alcohol and drug addictions, says she spent an insecure childhood worrying about a roof over her head and daily meals.

'I was always afraid if I didn't work we wouldn't eat and we'd lose our house. I had that 40-year-old male mentality of 'I need to provide for my family' - when I was three years old,' she said."

Drew Barrymore Scores in 'Fever Pitch'
ABC News: Drew Barrymore Scores in 'Fever Pitch': "Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore star in the best Farrelly brothers film since 'There's Something About Mary.' And that's something.

Fallon plays an insane Boston Red Sox fan. He sleeps on Red Sox pillows, wears Red Sox jerseys. Barrymore tells him, 'Your apartment looks like a gift shop.' He fell in love with the Sox when he was a kid, what kind of chance does she have?

At one game, she gets hit by a foul ball and knocked unconscious. He's too busy congratulating the guy who caught the ball to notice.

Yes, they fall in love. It's the ultimate boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, team-loses-pennant love story that asks the question: Can love conquer all - even the curse of the Bambino?

Barrymore is so good other actors may accuse her of taking steroids. Jimmy Fallon's the weak spot in this line-up. But movies are a team sport, and this movie did the near impossible. It made me root for the Red Sox. "

Drew Barrymore on Fever Pitch, Fanatics, and the Farrelly Bros
Drew Barrymore Interview - Drew Barrymore on Fever Pitch, Fanatics, and the Farrelly Bros: "No one seems to mind that the ending of "Fever Pitch" had to be rewritten. Who would have thought the Curse of the Bambino would finally be broken the very year the Farrelly Bros., Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon got together to shoot a romantic comedy about a fanatical Red Sox fan who finds love during another losing Sox season? But the Sox pulled it off, sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals and forcing a last second rewrite, not to mention a lot of scrambling to shoot the film's stars at the final game of the World Series.

In "Fever Pitch," Barrymore stars as Lindsey, a workaholic who believes she's finally found Mr. Right. Everything flows along smoothly until baseball season begins. Then Mr. Right turns into a Red Sox fanatic, and Lindsey has to compete with America's Favorite Pastime."

Barrymore, Fallon on 'Fever Pitch'
Major League Baseball : News : Left Field: "It's a strange love triangle: a man, a woman and a baseball team. The man and woman meet and fall in love, but the man's love for his beloved Boston Red Sox and their amazing run at the world championship last year almost destroys the relationship. That is the premise of the new romantic comedy 'Fever Pitch,' in which fiction and baseball history collided with one another last fall, while the film starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon was being made.
Barrymore plays Lindsey Meeks, a Boston-based business consultant who meets the man of her dreams, a sweet and sensitive school teacher named Ben Wrightman, played by Fallon. Since they began dating during the offseason, Lindsey has no idea how crazed a fan Ben is of the Red Sox and how his obsession with his team nearly derails their relationship. "
