LOS ANGELES — Drew Barrymore was involved in a hit-and-run accident, but instead of staying put, she followed the other driver and took down the license plate number.

The 33-year-old actress wasn't injured when her car was rear-ended Monday in West Hollywood, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Kristin Aloma.

Aloma said Barrymore followed the other vehicle and got its license plate number, which she then handed over to sheriff's deputies.

She said she didn't know the extent of damage to Barrymore's car.

No arrests had been reported Tuesday morning.

"It could be dangerous," Aloma said of following someone after an accident.

Still, she emphasized that getting a license plate number is instrumental to tracking down a hit-and-run motorist.

Barrymore's screen credits include the "Charlie's Angels" movies, "Fever Pitch" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."

She is no saint.
Any pictures she has had taken are none of my business.
So she has had some saucy pictures taken? So what?????
I'm sure she is not embarassed by them. She seems to be pretty much a free spirit.

Unfair headline -

Appears, at first glance, that Drew was responsible for hit-and-run and not the vicitm (which she was.)

How about more accurate headlines?

If she is still shaken by this, I am available to fly there immediately to provide aid and comfort during this trying time.

Wow, after last month's Sandra Bullock smash up, what is happening? I just hope we can generate a few more shock headlines that create the impression these wrecks were far more serious than they actually were.

Wow. Really Huffypuffy, who cares about Drew? She is a mediocre talent and sort of fat, big deal! Wel, was that a mature response (not). But then, take a look at her blog - speaks volumes.

Sigh.......you see them all on the blogosphere right?

"She is...sort of fat"

What a colossal a$$hole you are.

I am not even a fan of hers and I want to punch you.

This girl overcame the WORST family genes to get where she is. Lionel drank himself to death, as did John. Ethel was a great actress, but she had her own problems. "Sorta fat"? She's lucky to be alive.

Hey Theidaexpress,

I guess if you're fat, Ida thinks you deserve to be in an auto accident. And that attitude is supposed to get everyone jumping on the idaexpress??

Sort of a misleading headline don't ya think. Drew chases car who did a hit and run on HER car would be more accurate.

Or something that let's us know she is the victim.
Otherwise very misleading and irresponsible journalism.
