Drew Barrymore And Justin Long Call It Quits

NEW YORK — Justin Long and Drew Barrymore have ended their romance, the actor's publicist said Tuesday.

"I just wanted to confirm that, yes, they did break up," Carrie Gordon told The Associated Press in a phone interview, adding that the couple remain friends. Gordon didn't give further details.

Barrymore, 33, and Long, 30, co-star in the movie adaptation of the self-help best-seller "He's Just Not That Into You," slated for release next February.

The split comes as a surprise, given their public displays of affection since they began dating last year.

Long's big-screen credits include "Accepted" and "Dodgeball," and he's also the "Mac guy" in Apple's TV commercials. Barrymore's screen credits include "Fever Pitch," "50 First Dates" and "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial."

The lanky actor seemed smitten with the actress-producer, escorting her to red-carpet events including Madonna and Gucci's "A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF" party in New York City in February.

He was in the audience during Barrymore's recent appearance on Oprah Winfrey's talk show. Beaming, Long gushed: "She's the most compassionate person I've ever met."

"This relationship is great," Barrymore told Winfrey. "It's healthy, it's productive, and it's supportive. It's full of humor and a lot of fun."

That lucky Hodgman.

[AurigaRa]

but she wanted to get married and he, logically, wanted to give it some time.
Look at her record.

Smart guy. Get a nice nurse or something.

"OH....MI....GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"OHMIGAWD!"

Here's another 5 minutes I will never get back ...

It took you 5? I saw the name 'Drew' and figured it out in 1. You'll get quicker as you go along.

I like Justin and wanted to warn him about Ms. Fickle as soon as I heard he was dating her.

Has she been checked out for bipolar disorder?

[prthatrocks]

Wow, I have not given a sh-t, and still don't, about Drew since.... ET.

[rzan]

Drew has a very short attention span when it comes to men. She is also really irritating.

[ChiGuy]

At last!
Now's my chance......................

[Randomizer]

Maybe she'll start dating PC now. No, he's way too old. Mrs. Jonas better lock up yer sons 'cause Drew is on the prowl.

[observing]

weird. how come a woman with "such beauty and love and joy" as the men in her life repeatedly claim to describe her can't seem to stay in a committed relationship for very long?. probably totally the guy's fault...each and every single time - is that even possible? And stop with this "they remain the best of friends" garbage.

[ClydeSloppers]

I bet they are both voting for Obama. Examine that and you will find the source of their problem.

[josephbua]

All right, I'll bite.

Details?

Exactly why is the fact that two people support the same Presidential candidate the reason they broke up?

You're not James Carville, are you? Because if you are, I don't buy that your marriage is legit. How could you love and have a family with a woman whose worldview is so antithetical to yours?

[nogimmicks]

Long, but not Long enough.

[LiberalBuzz]

Oh well....it happens. Both talented and probably roving eyes as well.

Drew has long been a friend to many male stars. It's her thing.

Justin probably just likes going out with different women.

it happens.
