Hollywood Crush › Drew Barrymore

It has come to our attention that John Krasinski is an expert at being charming. Not only does he seem to play the most irresistibly delightful characters imaginable (see: Jim on "The Office," Ethan in "Something Borrowed," Phone Operator in "The Muppets") but he is equally, if not even more so, beguiling in person. And don't even get me started on how freakin' adorable and in love he and wife Emily Blunt are. It is too cute for words.

Being the inquisitive, truth-seeking journalist that I am, when I caught up with John recently to talk to him about his new save-the-whales movie "Big Miracle" (Spoiler alert: He plays a charming journalist!), I felt that it was my duty to try and get at the source of his success.

The actual question I posed to John, and by default to his "Miracle" co-star Drew Barrymore because she was seated next to him for the interview, was whether he could provide us with a detailed guide to being so consistently captivating.

If you like forbidden love, retro gang wars, breakdance fighting and extreme bouffant hairdos, you'll love this ultra-crushworthy new Supervideo for Best Coast's "Our Deal"! Drew Barrymore directed this "West Side Story"-inspired musical drama about two doomed teenagers—played by Chloe Moretz and "Teen Wolf" star Tyler Posey—whose affiliations with warring gangs threaten to destroy their love.

The moody montage also stars Miranda Cosgrove, Donald Glover and Alia Shawkat, and it's got everything you could possibly ask for in a classic teensploitation film. But if you don't know what to ask for, that's okay! Because we've made a list of all the things you need to make angsty teenage drama that crackles with retro-rebellious electricity. So grab your camera, write your script and round up a nice big pile of...

Move over, Carrie Bradshaw. There's a new single lady in town. Her name is Annie, and she was one hell of a maid of honor.

The news that "Bridesmaids" has passed "Sex and the City" as the top-grossing R-rated female comedy shouldn't come as too much of a shock for those of us who have been following the "Bridesmaids" effect, but it's still surprising that the flick has also become Universal's biggest rom-com of all time and Judd Apatow's best box office draw. It's good news for us, though, because that means we can expect a whole slew of "Bridesmaids"-style movies in the future, hopefully with the same star power and high-caliber comedy.

In fact, the trend is already upon us. At least three chick-driven laughers are in the works, proving ladies can be funny without falling all over the next hottie who walks by:

Move over, Danny Ocean. Make way for Katarina Bishop, the newest cat burglar on the block and heroine of Ally Carter's YA series "Heist Society." We've been not-so-patiently waiting for scoop about this adaptation ever since it was announced way back in February 2010 that Warner Bros. had purchased the film rights. The wait was well worth it because The Hollywood Reporter broke big news about the film last night: Drew Barrymore will produce and possibly direct!

The actress will produce through her Flower Films company in collaboration with screenwriter Shauna Cross (whom she also worked with on "Whip It"). We couldn't be more enthused about Drew's involvement considering how much we loved her girl-power roller derby drama, but we wanted to check in with author Ally to get her take on the amazing announcement. Check out our interview after the jump for all the scoop!

There seems to be an encore in the works for "The Last Song" co-stars Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, who are rumored to be back together according to E! Online.

The can't-seem-to-make-up-their-minds couple met on the set of the 2009 Nicholas Sparks film and went through a few rounds of break up/make up before calling it quits again last fall. Now it looks as though the twosome is back on, however—Liam plans to accompany Miley on the Australian leg of her Gypsy Heart tour this June.

With a tenuous track record like theirs, it's hard to say if Miley and Liam will last this time, but we're certainly rooting for them (such a cute couple!). And it's not like Miley and Liam are alone—lots of our favorite couples have played a little yo-yo with our hearts, going back and forth before reconciling—or calling it quits—for good. Here are some of the couples that have had us on the edge of our seats.

Typically when you hear an actor or actress wants to try their hand at something new—be it singing or producing or starting a line of perfumes and colognes—most of the time it's hard not to think, 'Don't quit your day job!'

But when it comes to someone like the uber-talented Drew Barrymore, we can't help but get excited about her latest venture, be it on or off-screen. After directing 2009's underrated, kick-butt roller derby movie "Whip It," Drew will, thankfully be heading behind the camera once more, this time for a genre that's even more up her alley: romantic comedies!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Drew, who was last seen in the funny romance-from-afar flick "Going The Distance," will be at the helm of "How To Be Single," the big-screen adaptation of the novel by the same name that "explores the loves lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the course of 10 years." There's no word yet on whether Drew will also star in the movie.

Though we never need an excuse to watch a romantic comedy or support Drew Barrymore, we wanted to share three big reasons why we think this pairing is going to be a match made in movie heaven:

We can't wait to catch the melodrama and mayhem of "The Roommate", which stars Leighton Meester as a seriously unhinged college girl who tries to steal the identity of fellow co-ed Minka Kelly—and which will likely leave a whole lot of ladies wondering whether inviting their new BFF to "Borrow my clothes anytime!" might have been a bad idea.

But while we know that Leighton worked extra hard to get this role right, she's hardly the first to tackle it. In fact, the Psycho Chick—whether she's an unbalanced flatmate, a scorned ex-girlfriend or the trampy best friend who wants to sleep with your dad (um, what?!)—is an archetypal character in modern cinema. And to celebrate her latest spot on the big screen, we've put together a list of our 10 favorite films from the Psycho Chick canon. Which movies get the prize for sweet, sexy gals who are destined for straitjackets? Read on!

All eyes may have been on this week's People's Choice Awards blue carpet (after all, it was the first major awards show of the season), but it was the yellow carpet for the 50th Anniversary of Cover Girl that really stepped up to the fashion plate delivering so many stellar styles. We've zeroed in on two lovely ladies who attended the fete: "Glee"'s Amber Riley and starlet Drew Barrymore. Keep reading to see which one flaunted an easy, breezy look and which one missed the mark.

There's a lot to be said for the perfect little black dress, and Amber totally owned the style in a shimmery, long-sleeved number that we adored. She topped off her ensemble with a perfectly glam, wavy hair-do (not to mention a super-cute bow!), earning her the title of this week's Style Superstar.

Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth. Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied. LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian. Ginnifer Goodwin and Joey Kurn. Even Hugh Hefner got engaged over Christmas weekend. We appreciate all this love in the air after that depressing streak of splits, but we didn't know Hollywood was so affected by the holiday spirit!

Let's keep this passion alive! More and more celebs are looking to make their way down the aisle with each passing day, so we've compiled our wish list of Hollywood couples we hope pop the question after the jump. Who knows, maybe one of our wishes will come true?

We've all done some pretty crazy things for love, right? (Please tell me I'm not alone!) And as well-intentioned and meaningful as these heartfelt gestures are, well, sometimes they don't go as smoothly as planned. If it's any consolation, even stars aren't immune to flirtation faux pas. When we sat down with on-again, off-again couple (or non-couple) Drew Barrymore and Justin Long to chat about their new movie "Going the Distance" (out Friday), they had a few cringe-worthy stories of their own to share.

"I once got sent an e-mail that was written in a sarcastic tone, but the person buried the lead and didn't say he was joking," Barrymore recalled of an ex's missive. "So everything in it was as horrible as you can imagine. That wasn't funny. That was a really poorly executed romantic gesture. I remember another boyfriend, he bought me a cameo [pendant], and he said it reminded him of me. And I thought, 'This old, silhouetted lady reminds you of me? Huh. OK.'"
