Starting at Sunset Junction in Silver Lake at 6 p.m. and arriving eight and a half hours later in West Hollywood at around 2:30 a.m., the Los Angeles Prop 8. protest ended early Sunday with a sit-in in the middle of the street. Throughout the night, groups would join the protest as it made its way through Hollywood and environs. While passing through the Sunset Strip, the rally picked up everyone's favorite angel, Drew Barrymore — and paparazzi — who marched with the approximately 3,000 swing shift protesters. As the exhausted but defiant crowd occupied the intersection of San Vicente and Santa Monica, Drew took to the microphone, tearfully telling the assembled crowd, "I will fight with you!"
The last time we caught up with Justin Long, The Mac Guy, he was "making out hardcore" with Kirsten Dunst in a margarita line after dumping Drew Barrymore for her party girl ways. Today we learn that Dunst will now buying her own margaritas for the time being, because, like a new Apple product, her and Long's relationship went obsolete almost immediately. The ever-fickle actor is now courting faux lesbian Tila Tequila – Long "asked her to straddle him while making out" – presumably because she's smart, interesting and kind.
Drew Barrymore has gone where every Upper East Side tween would empty out their trust funds to go: The actress reportedly made out with both Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford in a matter of days.
Although sources shot down rumors that Drew and Chace were making out at a Kings of Leon concert, there is photographic evidence of the other Gossip boy shoving his tongue down Barrymore's throat. The two also displayed their affections at an SNL after-party this past weekend. Ah, romance.

According to Forbes.com, where rich businessmen gather to discuss how good lying feels, Nicole Kidman was the most overpaid actress in Hollywood last year. On average, Kidman's films earned just one dollar for every dollar she was paid; The Invasion actually lost almost $3 for every dollar in Kidman's salary.
A reminder: a schoolteacher, police officer or AIDS researcher would probably find it difficult to get work if they failed so majorly so consistently.
After the jump, the rest of the top 10.

Reportedly displeased with girlfriend Drew Barrymore's excessive drinking, Justin "Mac" Long dumped her and went looking for greener, more sober pastures; so it makes little sense that he's stopped to graze on noted alcohol enthusiast Kirsten Dunst.
Long and Dunst were recently spotted together at LA's Sunset Junction music festival, "making out hardcore" in the margarita line.

DOWNGRADE "Justin Long may no longer be into Drew Barrymore, but he definitely is into Kirsten Dunst. … 'Justin was holding Kirsten's hand while walking around downtown NYC in the SoHo area,' an eyewitness tells OK!. 'They looked like they had stayed out all night and Justin had bloodshot eyes, but Kirsten was all over him and kept leaning in to kiss him.'"
HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO HER "Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have broken up, her rep confirms to People. 'I can confirm the split with no additional comment,' said the spokesperson."
As you might have suspected would happen, Life & Style’s report that Jennifer Aniston refused to shoot a Marie Claire cover with all four of her co-stars is being shot down by her publicist Stephen Huvane.
The tabloid’s report fingered unexplained bad blood between Aniston and He’s Just not That Into You co-star Jennifer Conelly as the reason why Aniston refused to do the magazine cover if Connelly was on there too (though Aniston was supposedly fine with shooting alongside Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin, who are also in the film, but only if she was front and center).
Immediately, Huvane was playing defense, insisting the reports are “absolutely absurd” and that “there is no drama whatsoever.”
Who to believe?
Angelina Jolie has always been open about her life before becoming Mother Teresa 2.0, so it was no surprise when she gave details on a former knife experiment gone wrong.
When I was 14, I collected knives. My first boyfriend and I ended up getting into some fighting in bed and being silly. People think that happens every time I go to bed.
It was actually something he never wanted to do again. It was a mistake and we really hurt ourselves. It was just being young, you know, when you're curious about vampires and that kind of thing. Just experimenting. It was an accident and I ended up in hospital.
The fact that she was doing this at the age of 14 — even younger than Miley Cyrus — is slightly disturbing, but what's even more fascinating is the fact that she completely recovered from a not-so-normal past to become one of the most successful celebrities in the world. Which got us thinking of a few other women who have bounced back from their own personal tragedies. Feel free to disagree or throw in your own suggestions. CONTINUED »
Jennifer Aniston's big top-secret surprise on the season finale of Oprah's Big Give has been hinted at in the media for weeks now, and we felt predictably let down when all was said and done.
Drew Barrymore recently went on Oprah to donate $1 million of her own money to charity; surely this had to be even bigger, right? Wrong.
After thanking each of the seven contestants for their work and awarding them their cash gifts of $10,000, she caused mouths to drop even more when she declared, 'That just felt too good. I personally would like to triple it. So we're going to go $30,000. Guys, thank you for doing this and inspiring everybody.'
Of note: Aniston earned $14 million last year, according to Forbes. While $210,000 is quite a bit of money, we can't help but feel underwhelmed. She should have adopted an orphan or something.
Drew Barrymore is donating $1 million to the World Food Programme to help feed children in Africa. She made this announcement, of course, on today's Oprah Winfrey Show.
I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child's life. It helps them learn, stay healthy and sets them on track for a bright future.
Um, is this "nutritious porridge" the same thing as Adnan's milky soup? Because if it is, those children of Africa don't want any of your charity, Drew.

Queen of Pilates Madonna partnered with Gucci last night to host a UNICEF charity dinner and auction. Celebrities came out in droves to wear Gucci clothing, fatten themselves on rich cuisine ("tart of goat cheese, foraged mushrooms, truffled mashed potatoes") and bid on extravagant leisure opportunities, all for the benefit of those who can't afford such luxuries.
Tom Cruise bid $100,000 for the opportunity to convert play sports with Alex Rodriguez and David Beckham, but was summarily outbid by more than 200 grand. "But how will he write a check with no fingers?" an insider heard Cruise whisper. The action star was then quiet for the remainder of the evening.
Later, an attendee paid $600,000 to take a dance class with Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Which couple with opposite hairdos is still thriving in the love vacuum that is Hollywood?

The romance that had been blossoming between Justin Long and Drew Barrymore on the set of the bad idea/screen adaptation He's Just Not That Into You appears to have cooled. Long was seen this weekend at a benefit with Live Free or Die Hard costar Maggie Q (yep, just Q). Considering the brevity of their relationship, in retrospect, perhaps Barrymore and Long were just doing research for that awful, awful film.
