She wore her hair sleeked back and styled the stunning dress with a thin black belt. A Roger Vivier clutch and Belperron jewelry completed the gorgeous look.

The Drew Barrymore Show Has Been Renewed

Barrymore has shifted her focus from acting roles to hosting her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show.

Since its premiere in September 2020, Barrymore has shared her joy and charm through the show. CBS produces the show, which has gone from success to success and has just been renewed for a third season.

President of CBS Media Ventures, Steve LoCascio, had only good things to say about the actress turned talk show host.

“From Drew’s unique take on everyday news to headline-generating celebrity interviews to lifestyle how-tos, Drew is a force of nature that has brought a fresh, optimistic viewpoint to daytime television.”

Taking a New Approach to Daytime Television

Barrymore thanked all the people who had helped make the show become a success, saying in a statement that “Rising to the occasion of finding people in the diverse way they watch is what I want to challenge myself with. Our show wants to be a bright spot, not a blind spot, and we just want to make people feel good.”

The show is taking a new format in the third season and will be produced in two half-hour installments. The segments can be run together or split, becoming flexible for local news stations to air the show.

Since its debut in September 2020, the show has been one of the fastest-growing talk shows ever. Barrymore told People in September 2020 that one of the most exciting things about working on the show is “to be in a job where I don’t have to play a character. I just get to be myself.”

“But I still have to prove myself,” she said. “And I love that. If we come at this as students, I think that’s kind of the right tone for me, because I tend to also shy away from soapboxes or know-it-alls. I know everything is a work in progress, for me at least.”

She went on to say that “I get to do things that I care about. I get to share things that are important to me. I get to have conversations that are meaningful and grounded in reality. I get to bring comedy and humor.”

Usually, the A-list stars of a movie being premiered are also the stars on the red carpet. However, in May 2014, a newcomer decided to steal the spotlight on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of Drew Barrymore’s comedy flick Blended.

Dani Thorne, Bella Thorne’s older sibling, demanded attention when she stepped on the red carpet in a still unidentified revealing dress that showed off a lot of skin.

The scarlet dress features a beautifully embellished one-piece bodysuit with a plunging neckline.

Covering up the skimpy bodysuit was an attached floor-length skirt made of sheer fabric with a really high slit that revealed Dani’s gorgeous gams.

Meanwhile, the movie’s real star opted for a conservative Tadashi Shoji floral-embroidered dress that looked a lot like a bridal gown.

Drew Barrymore, who just gave birth to her second baby a month earlier, was happily gushing on the red carpet despite being upstaged by the younger Dani.
