Starting at Sunset Junction in Silver Lake at 6 p.m. and arriving eight and a half hours later in West Hollywood at around 2:30 a.m., the Los Angeles Prop 8. protest ended early Sunday with a sit-in in the middle of the street. Throughout the night, groups would join the protest as it made its way through Hollywood and environs. While passing through the Sunset Strip, the rally picked up everyone's favorite angel, Drew Barrymore — and paparazzi — who marched with the approximately 3,000 swing shift protesters. As the exhausted but defiant crowd occupied the intersection of San Vicente and Santa Monica, Drew took to the microphone, tearfully telling the assembled crowd, "I will fight with you!"
Drew Barrymore has gone where every Upper East Side tween would empty out their trust funds to go: The actress reportedly made out with both Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford in a matter of days.
According to Forbes.com, where rich businessmen gather to discuss how good lying feels, Nicole Kidman was the most overpaid actress in Hollywood last year. On average, Kidman's films earned just one dollar for every dollar she was paid; The Invasion actually lost almost $3 for every dollar in Kidman's salary.
A reminder: a schoolteacher, police officer or AIDS researcher would probably find it difficult to get work if they failed so majorly so consistently.
After the jump, the rest of the top 10.
Are Drew Barrymore and Justin Long just the latest to join a long list of celebrity couples working with paparazzi to show the the world that everything is A-OK in their relationship, and perhaps pocketing a few thousand dollars in the process? The twosome are on a "romantic getaway to Mexico" where they are "staying at a back-to-basics $100-a-night beach resort, with simple thatched-roof huts without television or phones." They're also frolicking together in the waves and being photographed by the agency Big Pictures, which is always Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's means of paying the rent. [DM]

Lucullan \loo-KULL-un\ adjective: lavish, luxurious
Drew Barrymore and Justin Long seem like a rare Hollywood couple uninterested in the Lucullan perks that come with being famous. Either that, or their P.R. reps are really good.

• Joe Simpson takes time off from micromanaging his daughter's career to micromanage her social life.
• Seeing these college frat guys dressed up as The Golden Girls makes us nostalgic for that episode where Blanche made a sexual innuendo, Dorothy rolled her eyes and Rose said, "What? I don't get it." And for those college nights when you're too inebriated to worry about how those incriminating drunken photos will impede your post-graduation job prospects.
• Recovering alcoholic Lindsay Lohan allegedly knocked back a few drinks this past Thanksgiving. Presumably, the inevitable consequence of spending any extended period of time with her mother/enabler Dina.
• Eva Longoria is officially a desperate housewife.
• Ever wonder how many summer cocktails you can comfortable fit on Janet Jackson's rump? Well, turns out it's only three. Crazy, we know. We had eleven in our office pool.

• Robert F. Kennedy 3rd gets freaky with a "heavyset girl" from Missy Elliott's entourage.
• Tracey Edmonds ditches Eddie Murphy after occasionally hearing or reading things that "made her wonder." Presumably, Edmonds is referring to rumors that Murphy fathered a child with Scary Spice then totally denied it. Either that or she finally watched Norbit.
• Paris Hilton's new cellmate is way better than that anal retentive Asian chick you roomed with freshman year.
• Kirsten Dunst battles Drew Barrymore for top "honors" on the Top 10 Creepy Kids list. Related: that chick from The Exorcist had our vote with her first profanity-laced Satanic rant.

Walk by the newsstand or flip on any of the entertainment tabloid shows and you'll see Drew Barrymore staring back at you from the cover of this week's People, where she's anointed the Most Beautiful Person of all 100 Most Beautiful Persons.
But perhaps her cover isn't an example is celebrating surface-level beauty worship as it is an example of corporate synergy.
People is published by Time Inc., which is owned by Time Warner. And guess what movie studio just put out Drew's recent flick, Music & Lyrics? That'd be Time Warner's Warner Bros. studio.
And which studio is behind Lucky You, which debuts this Friday and stars Eric Bana and, oh wait, Drew Barrymore? That'd be Warner Bros.
And what studio is behind Drew's upcoming thriller He Loves Me? Ah, yes, that'd be Warner Bros., too.
So congrats on being so beautiful, Drew. Dick Parsons is drooling.
You know Jane Pratt, right? The former editor in chief of Sassy and Jane magazine, who recently—and for publicity absolutely no reason whatsoever—copped to having a hot lesbian affair with Drew Barrymore circa 1994?
Well, now Jane (who's a radio host, did we mention that? ) talks about publishing, Jane magazine, satellite radio and, of course, her twenty year old affair with Drew Barrymore. Let's fast-forward to the good stuff, shall we?
Jane's reflections on Sassy after the jump! (Kidding! It's the Drew Barrymore stuff, we promise).

I’m thrilled I did that, but no way would I do it now. Man, I was such a sexual, free, f—ing nudist little bird running around. I love it. I’m still sensual, but I’m much more modest now. But I think I’ll always be a bit of a wood nymph when it comes to sexuality. It’s like, ‘F–k it, be free and have the most fun you can.’

Reportedly, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz have been bonding over their recently ditched significant others with none other than the Queen of Breakups herself: Lindsay Lohan.
Linds, no stranger to the kamikaze, "wham! bam! thank you, ma'am!" style of dating was spotted hanging with the recently single Charlie's Angels, undoubtedly giving them her best post-breakup words of wisdom.
Naturally, we weren't exactly sitting next to them on the banquette, but we imagine their convo probably went a little something like this:
Cameron: Scarlett Johansson is such a whore!
Drew: Totally.
Cameron: Haha Seriously, though, I hate her. I hope Dick Cheney accidentally-on-purpose shoots in her the face with a shotgun.
Lindsay: Haha. FYI, you guys, I can't drink tonight because I am still totally recovering from my "appendectomy."
(All three girls laugh).
