Drew Barrymore went on Oprah to donate 1 million dollars to the World Food Program. Drew was asked by the United Nations to be an Ambassador Against Hunger, and encourage people to reach out to starving children in Africa.
Which is beyond generous but it makes you wonder how many millions must she have, that she can give away one and be like, whatever?
“I know it’s important to act locally, but think globally,” she says. “Ninety-three percent of it goes directly into these children’s hands and gives them the chance at having a future. … I’m able to make this incredible donation. This has changed my life, but I encourage everyone to give [what they can].”
Drew and her boyfriend, Justin Long, spent the rest of their vacation in Hawaii rubbing Aloe on each other’s sunburns, smoking the local plants, and ordering room service.
We totally LOVE Drew. We have had more than a few drinks at parties with this fabulous party girl who actually did pull it together. She looks so gorgeous on that cover…wait… is that her?
Drew Barrymore offers her take on being young and in Hollywood in the March issue of Vogue magazine:
“I think I had some mechanism in my head that said, ‘If you don’t pull it together for yourself, no one else will.’ That’s coming from a person who had to try it all … and who still loves to have a good time. I do believe in ‘Work hard, play hard,’ but ‘Work hard’ always comes first, and it did even when I was wild and young.”
Drew is picking up gigs all over. Recently a new face for CoverGirl, Drew Barrymore is now an Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nation’s World Food Program. Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Madonna and Leonardo DiCaprio, who are all part of the UN’s World Food Program.
Barrymore said of her responsibilities, “I am honored and humbled to accept this challenging and rewarding assignment. I can’t think of any issue that is more important than working to see that no schoolchild in this world goes hungry.”
This is why we love Drew. She is a loadie who cares. When we met her she was loaded but cared enough to give Lynn a cigarette when he ran out. See, like we said….a loadie who cares!
