Drew Barrymore is the latest celebrity in the forget-the-date speech doghouse. The actress was so shocked on the winner's podium of the Golden Globes, that she neglected to mention her date, on-again off-again boyfriend Justin Long, in her speech. This after she kissed him before heading up on the stage.
"I screwed up so hard in my speech," a temporarily horrified Barrymore said backstage. She admitted she was not prepared for a victory in the Best Supporting Actress category for 'Grey Gardens'. "I think Mo'Nique said it best, you just don't want to know or think or assume you would ever win something."
Don't worry Justin, you were in good company. She also forgot to mention her Grey Gardens co-star Jessica Lange.
Backstage she made amends with a brief re-creation of her speech. Barrymore told Lange (who was not present, but you get the idea): "I wish that I could split this award in half."
She also threw Long a bone: "And I have a great date thank you, Justin, he's been making me laugh all night."

it is absolutely amaZing to me that men go gaga for the fake stuff
REALLY??... so that's all we have to do ? is go out and buy silicone/plastic and put that in our bodies ... SERIOUSLY ? it's sickening to think that you males are that shallow ... 'oh those golden globes are so beautiful' could you please wake up! it's not natural and she has fallen into the pit of ... oh I'm not good enough ... let's see what can I BUY that will make me better.
repulsive/disgusting ... the outside stuff fades ...picture Miriah
when she's 65 ... 75 ... yeah they're gonna be just awesome then
if in fact she lives that long with that gunk in her body

You know this how? I am not necessarily gaga over Ms. Carey, but I can't personally say she has had any plastic surgery either. If you look closely I'd say she picked up those boobs the old fashioned way, by gaining significant weight.
Oh Mariah so did have breast implants...just look at old pictures! if she got boobs the old fashioned way - by putting on weight, as you said - they wouldn't be able to stand up in that dress being that big! They wouldn't look rock hard either! her boobies are fake.
you've gotta....it seems to me the shallow ones are the women who think that is all they have to offer are a big set of fake cans. Maybe these women should try to impress w/ their talent and intelligence than try to go after some A--hole who only sees the silicone...
Why should Drew Barrymore thank her date for her talent? She's worked long and hard and made a great success of herself without his input.

Now let me get this correct... You are one of the finalists at the Golden globe awards and you didn't take the time to think about what you would say if you won? Give ME a break, What a dumb broad.

He didn't deserve thanks anyway, they are on and off again and probably won't end up together anyway, she never stays with anyone for too long.

That Sleeze Mariah Carey is one hot mess. Drunk, trashy..seems like she needs to prove she is desirable. Going about it way wrong.

I know, right? It looked like they were afraid to touch each other. Remember the VMA kiss between Madonna, Britney and xtina? When Madonna kissed Britney it looked , well, I guess you could say natural. But when Madonna turned to kiss xtina, it looked like it hurt. That's exactly what it reminded me of. And big deal she didn't thank Justin. What has he done to help further her career? Nothing. They have dated off and on for a short time. Big deal.

Jessica Lange should have won hands down. She can and did act circles around Ditzy Drew who just faked an accent through the movie. Who cares about the foreign press anyway? Why don't they hold their awards show in a foreign country? And lose awards for TV crap - most of those people can't act and are just the same person for every script: Jennifer Aniston, Desperate Housewives - all of them and Sarah Jessica Parker, etc.

For the record, it is not necessarily in good form to thank your date when you win an award. Drew Barrymore was spontaneous, honest and real when she made her surprise acceptance speech. She owes no apologies to anyone. I like Justin Long, but he had nothing to do with Drew's winning her Golden Globe award. What was she supposed to have thanked him for? Driving her to the award ceremonies? It was her moment and hers alone, so all of you little twitter-twits, try and show some class and intelligence by next month's Oscars.

What a non-story! Forgot to mention her date/boyfriend?????? Why would you even mention your boyfriend/girlfriend at all???? What is this some shallow Hollywood "Look who I`m dating this week" rule?

Why should Drew thank him for, being her date? He is a "D-Lister" actor, who happens to be her boy-friend for now. They went out for 5 minutes before, and now, they've been back together for 30 seconds. She's been working her whole life. If anything, he should thank her for letting him be seen with her.
