It’s hard to imagine Drew Barrymore aging - she still looks like seven-year-old Gertie to us - but the woman is 35 and at a point in her career where women in Hollywood start considering plastic surgery (or, if you’re Heidi Montag, by 35 you’ll be accepting your new title as the latest surgery-addicted Human Barbie). Drew’s not into it though, she can’t wait to see her future self in the mirror, all natural.  ”I’m so curious as to what’s going to happen naturally that I can’t imagine wanting to alter things just yet,” she said recently.

“And to all those women putting botulism in their faces – we don’t know what the long-term effects are, so stop! I’d rather look like a basset hound than do that to my face!” Just one more reason we love this woman - her willingness to get all Droopy Dog on us. Well, that and the fact that she’s a total hippie.  [Photo: Getty Images]

Rarely, if ever, have so many of the world’s biggest musicians mobilized so quickly with Hollywood elite (plus President Clinton and Oprah) to lend a helping hand in a time of tragedy.

Since we can’t celebrate peace or prosperity while we’re at war and our economy is in the dumps, we’re ringing in the new year with the next best thing: celebrity bikini pics! Our gallery is ordered from one to 100, with one being the hottest. We tried sticking mostly to candid photos, but bent the rules a few times — especially for Miranda Kerr (her Victoria’s Secret shots are just too hot!).

Justin Long and Drew Barrymore had dueling premieres in NY last night, with the Mac pitchman appearing alongside Meg Ryan to promote Serious Moonlight while Drew shimmered on the red carpet for Everybody’s Fine. But once the movies were over, Long scooted off to join his girlfriend at an afterparty for her film at Tavern On The Green…leaving Ryan and Moonlight director Cheryl Hines to party without him at Rouge Tomate. Support your girlfriend, or support your co-stars? Must have been a tough call for a chivalrous guy like Justin. See shots from both premieres in the gallery below.

Drew Barrymore has been our favorite celeb to watch for, er, bold fashion choices recently. There was the bandeau 80s boob tube under a t-shirt, and then that lovely tablecloth. Now she has returned to her roots for her new hair color, but instead put her roots on her tips. Or something. Anyway, however pretty and adorably nutty Drew is, we can’t approve of thick black dip-dyed hair with blonde under any circumstances. Sorry! [Photo: Splash News Online]

Milla Jovovich shows off her hot post-baby body on the cover of September’s Maxim, available at newsstands tomorrow. The Ukranian actress dishes on a smokey prank she pulled as a teenager, and why she loves being the object of nerdy guys’ affection.

On Being the Dream Girl for Geeks: “I love that, man!  I think it’s great, because it means that smart men like me.  Plus, nerdy guys are always the cool ones in the end.  I mean, who want to date a stupid jock?  I think that, eventually, the nerds get the cool girls.  Just do what you do really well and everything else will fall into place.”

On Her Most Rebellious Teenage Act: “Probably being on the cover of High Times.  I was performing music at that time—and smoking pot—and the guys from High Times came to one of my shows.  They were like, ‘Hey, wanna be on the cover?’  It was just one of those stupid things you do when you’re young.  I thought it was a big joke, but my poor mom was mortified.”

Milla isn’t the only hottie who loves herself a little devil’s lettuce. Check out our gallery of Hollywood’s hottest stoner chicks! [Source: Maxim; Photo: Matt Jones]

Real life couple Drew Barrymore and Justin Long steamed up the cameras on Thursday when shooting a scene for their new film Going The Distance on a boat in New York City’s Central Park. Drew and Justin also flipped off paparazzi in between takes of the scene where Drew wraps her legs around and plays tonsil hockey with her on and off-screen love interest.

It looks like “30 Rock” will clean up again at this year’s Emmy Awards. Tina Fey’s beloved sitcom, which won outstanding comedy series last year, snagged 22 Emmy nominations today. In the drama department, the ’60s flashback masterpiece “Mad Men” raked in 16 nominations, including a nod for the second consecutive year for its lead actor Jon Hamm. Considering that Hamm also guest stars on “30 Rock,” he and Tina Fey have a shot at ruling this year’s show, to be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris (also a nominee) and broadcast live on Sept. 20 from L.A.’s Nokia Theatre. Other highlights …

• Farrah Fawcett, who never won an Emmy, may win one posthumously for “Farrah’s Story,” her documentary chronicling her battle against cancer. (Expect tears when the award is accepted on her behalf.)

• “Big Love” was nominated for outstanding drama series, but its actors weren’t nominated for anything. (Does that make sense?)

• “Gossip Girl” was snubbed. (Appalling, xoxo)

• “Family Guy” was nominated for best comedy series, making it the only animated show since “The Flintstones” to land in that category. (Woot!)

• Jemaine Clement of “Flight of the Conchords” is up for lead actor in a comedy. (Hipsters rejoice.)

• Sarah Silverman was nominated for lead actress in a comedy series for the “Sarah Silverman Program” on Comedy Central. (We think her show sucks. Are we the only ones?)

• Highly-rated “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ was snubbed from the reality competition category. (Shock! Not really.)

• “ER” and “Desperate Housewives” didn’t receive any nominations in any major categories. (Where do old shows go to die?)

• “True Blood” was shut out of all major categories even though its star Anna Paquin won a Golden Globe earlier this year. (Dear TV Academy, quit being so snobby.)

• “Grey Gardens” stars Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange are both up for lead actress in a miniseries or movie.

• “Breaking Bad” and “Dexter” scored nominations for outstanding drama series and for its lead actors. (Duh.)

• Once again, HBO dominated with 99 Emmy Award nominations. Showtime got 29 and NBC led the major networks with 67. After the jump, read a list of the nominees in major categories for the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards.

Drew Barrymore and that guy she’s totally not dating, Justin Long, were spotted this weekend at the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee. Drew played the part of festival nymph well, rockin’ scruffy hair, flowing, mismatched clothes, rain boats and face paint.
