Drew's 'Terrifying' Ability

Drew BarrymoreAs part of Hollywood royalty, Drew Barrymore can have virtually anything she wants. But what she wants may surprise you.

Drew tells the October issue of Elle magazine, "I want to be terrified. I really want to do what I think I'm going to f--king fail at miserably."

Well, in her new movie "Lucky You," Drew gets to do what she has feared for most of her adult life -- sing.

Drew's phobia stems from being the only cast member in Woody Allen's 1996 musical "Everybody Says I Love You" to be dubbed. An incident which Drew says "was really an unfortunate incident in my life."

For her latest role, the 31-year-old worked with a vocal coach for five months to play a Vegas lounge singer opposite Eric Bana. Having a boyfriend who just happens to be the drummer in The Strokes (Fabrizio Moretti) probably didn't hurt her musical abilities either.

In the article, Barrymore also opens up about recently losing 20 pounds, which she says has made her "more confident and adventurous" with her outfit choices.

And despite her sometimes questionable fashion risks, Drew says "I don' t regret those moments because they're kind of what define you."

Whether talking about fashion, singing or anything else, that's an attitude worth phoning home about!

9. Racer, it pains me to agree with the first part of your comment- her looks are overrated, as is her acting. She's the same character over and over and over. She used to be cute but seems to be getting stranger looking as the years go by. That Barrymore profile isn't doing her any favors.

As for the last bit of your post, eat sh*t. That fat, trailer trash you live with is the best you'll ever do so stop telling other women they're fat to make yourself feel better.

11. She's fugly, huh Racer? I'd bet your welfare check that you've boxed your trouser mouse at least twice today while checkin' out that "fugly" picture of Drew.

12. I hope she doesn't try for a singing career after this movie. Just stick to your daytime job , please. The last thing I want to see is another actress trying a shot as a recording artist who is just mediocre Brings to mind Jennifer Love Hewitt.
I already know i perfer Drew as actress. Anyone can sound good when the recording is over produced. ( ummm.... paris hilton YOU? )

13. Drew's alright. I happen to know for a fact that racer loves her big time!! He's just pretending to be a real douche bag to he can defend her from pending attacks! When you guys aren’t around he all…oooh love me some Drew girl. I loooovvveee Drew.

Racer loves Drew, pass it around.

14. drew is alright, but she would be even better if she dropped the lisp and got a boob lift ..

15. drew,
go back to flipping burgers. Unlike you, I have better things to do than play games. If I thought she was unlame I wouldn't burn the calories saying otherwise.

ragass (aka monica) I know it hurts getting schooled. Come back after graduation and i'll give you the advanced class in ass-whoping.
