Hey Paul, gimme some blues! We’re climbing up on David Letterman’s desk to revisit the unforgettable moment Drew Barrymore made television history with the flash seen around the world. We’re diving into 1995 Drew's sense of freedom in her own body, her longtime crush on Letterman, and the lasting legacy of their on-screen chemistry. Plus, we explore how this wild stunt marked the end of an era for Drew and paved the way for her reinvention as Hollywood’s good girl.

This week we’re circling back to a favorite topic—Drew Barrymore’s tattoos! When we first covered them 100 episodes ago, we had no idea she’d shortly add four more to her collection. With her most recent tat addition (“222” on her arm), we knew it was time for a tattoo redo. We’re revisiting our original conversation and adding in the latest ink info. And at the top of the show, we have the conclusion of Ashley's search for the 2000 Malibu Road house, plus plenty of highlights from Drew’s recent in-depth chat with Bill Maher.

This week we’re cranking up the cheesy saxophone and saying bye-bye to the beach as we dive into the finale of 2000 Malibu Road!

From curses to evil twins to unresolved cliffhangers, this last episode has it all, and we’re loving every wild minute of it!

We're heading back to the beach for two more episodes of Drew Barrymore’s 1992 TV series 2000 Malibu Road! This time, we’re loving Drew’s fabulous 90s fashion (hello headbands and daisy-print robe!), caught off guard by some intense open-mouth kissing, and somehow still finding parallels to Doppelganger & Mad Love. Plus of course we are also continuing to live for the wild, blackmailing antics of her character's sister Joy!

In the summer of 1992, Drew Barrymore made her debut as a television series regular in the short-lived CBS nighttime soap 2000 Malibu Road. Drew starred as Lindsay Rule, a sweet, wide-eyed aspiring actress sharing a beach house with a group of glamorous and drama-prone characters. This summer, we’re diving into all six episodes of the series, starting with the first two, which originally aired together as a made-for-TV movie. Expect sultry saxophone solos, a corpse on the beach, and a deliciously over-the-top, blackmail-happy “agent” who calls everyone “honey bunny”. Don’t miss it!

The images are accompanied by an insightful Q&A that gets into her career path post-Poison Ivy and the brief-but-impactful relationship between Drew and then-boyfriend Jamie Walters.

To the Batmobile! This week marks a major milestone — the 30th anniversary of Batman Forever! Drew Barrymore made her one and only leap into the superhero universe with her memorable turn as Sugar, the angelic half of Two-Face’s duo of femme fatales.

We’re diving deep into the film’s production — from how Drew landed the role through her friendship with director Joel Schumacher, to her dynamic with the star-studded cast, and the stunning style that made her character unforgettable. Plus, we’ve uncovered the scoop on two deleted scenes featuring Sugar and her dark counterpart, Spice!

Over the years, Drew has also paid tribute to “the world’s greatest icon” on several memorable occasions and we are going over them all. Happy birthday, Ms. Monroe!

This week, we’re taking a trip back to a pivotal year in Drew Barrymore’s life—1994! At just 19, Drew was in full career overdrive, filming three movies, releasing Bad Girls, and appearing in countless magazine spreads. On the personal front, she had a whirlwind marriage (and split) with Jeremy Thomas, and later started dating Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson. She spent much of the year hanging out with the band, diving off a ship in the Mediterranean, snapping endless selfies, and rocking her signature look of the time: a blonde pixie cut and pencil-thin eyebrows. Total 90s icon energy!

Our coverage of Movieline magazine continues this week as we take a deep dive into Drew Barrymore's cover feature from the October 2001 issue! This article by Michael Fleming captures an intriguing moment in her life—she had just survived a house fire earlier in the year, was navigating a reconciliation with her mother (partly sparked by Riding in Cars with Boys) and was right in the midst of her brief marriage to Tom Green. Additionally, Drew opens up about how she truly “flipped out” when Never Been Kissed hit theaters. The piece is paired with some stunning photos of Drew taken by Mark Abrahams. And we’ve got exclusive behind-the-scenes details straight from the shoot’s stylists, Nina and Clare!

For over 30 years, Drew Barrymore has repeatedly teamed up with the legendary photographer Mark Seliger. This week, we’re diving into their remarkable creative partnership.

As Drew puts it, Mark “has his vision but leaves space for your interpretation, allowing room for surprise.” The result? Some of the most iconic images of our girl ever captured!
