With a recent marriage and baby behind her, change seems to be what Drew Barrymore is all about these days. Today rumours have surfaced that she’s reportedly working on a makeup line for Wal-Mart.

According to WWD, the actress—who has been a Cover Girl face since 2007—will end her contract with the brand in January in order to strike out on her own in the world of cosmetics. Sources say she has been working with Intercos, an Italian supplier for color cosmetics and makeup. It will be the first time Barrymore has gone into the realm of creating cosmetics and the forthcoming line will be exclusively sold at Wal-Mart.

Did you ever think you’d see style icons Charlotte Gainsbourg and Drew Barrymore working together? Well, today’s the day.

Gainsbourg and Barrymore have come together for a good cause, participating in Tommy Hilfiger’s sixth annual campaign to support Breast Health International. Gainsbourg, the face of the campaign, modeled the limited edition purse, which was designed by Hilfiger. Barrymore took on the role of photographer, snapping the dreamy shot of Charlotte dozing off, bag in hand.

The classic navy and red leather tote bag (so Tommy) is being sold internationally in Tommy Hilfiger stores and will retail for $298, with $100 from each bag going to Breast Health International‘s Fund for Living—an initiative that helps women with breast cancer fund their treatments and costs that may not be covered by health care.

This summer it felt like the wedding bells kept ringing, and ringing, and ringing and, oh you get the picture. It was a big summer for celebrities like Natalie Portman who tied the knot with French choreographer and Black Swan co-star and Drew Barrymore who married art consultant Will Kopelman. Even our favourite Man Repeller, Leandra Medine, locked it down with longtime on and off boyfriend Abe Cohen.

On the long list of summer celebrity weddings, Blake Lively and Anne Hathaway were some of the most talked about. Mouths were agape when it was revealed Lively didn’t wear Chanel OR Gucci when secretly marrying Ryan Reynolds. She opted to wear a custom made Marchesa gown (not too shabby).

From Anne Hathaway to Britney Spears, celebrity brides-to-be have been sporting some serious bling on their ring fingers and it’s no question that their dresses are sure to be as dazzling. Check out Weddingbells’ top gown picks for 5 of the most talked about brides-to-be! View the dresses »

Ombré, ombré, ombré! This hair-colour technique is slowly moving away from being just a fad and becoming a long-haul trend. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean that all hair stylists have mastered how to properly do an ombré dye job. Case(s) in point: Drew Barrymore and Audrina Patridge. Both were snapped this week with dark-to-light tresses, and we can’t say we approve of either.

Patridge, at the Immortals 3D premiere in Los Angeles, doesn’t even seem to have hit the dye bottle—it looks like the former Hills star simply swapped her brown extensions for blonde. Let’s all cross our fingers and hope that this quickie approach to ombré doesn’t catch on.

Then there’s Barrymore, who is usually so good at switching hair colours. So we’re going to assume the brassy ombré style she debuted at the LACMA Art + Film Gala is actually still in transition—because there is no excuse for bleaching the bottom half of jet-black hair and not toning it to a proper shade. None.

Do you think either of these stars looks good with her new hair? »

Overheard: Ten Year writer/director Jamie Linden mentioning that he and his cast (including Channing Tatum and Kate Mara) had gone to a “dive bar” a.k.a. Ossington’s Sweaty Betty’s the night before the premiere. We wonder if he heard about the place from Ten Year actor Justin Long, who’s ex, Drew Barrymore, has been known to […]

Can’t face another blah session on the elliptical? From trapeze to monkey movements, we offer six ways to spice up your routine.

1. TAKE IT TO THE ZOO
Spend an hour at Aeküus in Montreal (aekuus.com) and your body will have a light-bulb moment. You’ll find yourself bounding from one corner to the next like a monkey, with one hand on the ground and the other overhead, or crawling inches from the floor like Spider-Man scaling a building. The exercises originate from basic calisthenics and expand into endless variations, many of which are animal-inspired quadrupedal motions. You’ll start with posture, breathing and fundamental movements (walking, falling, sitting), then increase the intensity and incorporate elements such as martial arts, J-Kae band work and jump rope. “After a year and a half with us, you’re basically capable of training by yourself,” says co-founder Julien Karl. Demonstrating an advanced technique, he grabs the outer edge of a staircase, each hand on a different step, and lifts his legs parallel to the floor. Sold.

Didn’t get the memo? Mussed up hair aside, wearing your sweatpants in public is probably the most direct way to send easy breezy vibes. For Vancouverites, the best place to get said trendy basics is the Times Profile Shop (231 Cambie St., 604-681-3546), which is showcasing the full, spring/summer collection from Alternative Apparel for just a few more weeks.

The Guardian said that no one dressed well this week, but we here at FASHION will have to respectfully disagree. Drew Barrymore has been looking like a doll on her London jaunt to promote her new flick, Going The Distance, with co-star etc., Justin Long. Nothing’s over-styled–it’s all just the right side of quirky. See […]
