Ok....First let me say that I absolutely love Drew Barrymore.  Ever since her seminal appearance in the original Poison Ivy, have I been a Drew devotee.  Her role as a deeply troubled alterna-teen driven to banshee-like hysterics by her parents in Mad Love alongside Chris O’Donnell only further endeared her to me.  Even after she transitioned from playing psychotic sex kittens to playing Adam Sandler’s giggling love interest, to Jimmy Fallon’s giggling love interest to most recently, Hugh Grant’s giggling love interest, my feelings for Drew have not wavered.  That said....



Drew, WTF!  A reality show based on a “relationship boot camp”?!  Tough Love, that’s what Drew and her Flower Films partner, Nancy Juvonen have hoodwinked VH1 into signing up for 8 episodes of.  To be fair, this is VH1, home of My Fair Brady, I Love New York, I Love Money, I Love Money, New York and a Good Lap Dance, Bret Michaels and the Back of a Tour Bus, and Here I Go Again...On My Own: Tawny Kitean Gets Clean.  Ok I made a few of those up but you get the idea…



Honestly, as much as I love Drew Barrymore, I’m not watching this unless Drew herself, whose dating highlights include Jamie Walters of The Heights fame, Corey Feldman, sleazy (is there any other kind?) Pam Anderson ex and Paris Hilton sex tape co-star hubby Rick Salomon, and former chick mag mogul Jane Pratt (for good measure), not too mention marriages to Tom Green and a random Welsh bartender and a recent and nausiatingly over-exposed romance with Mac Guy, Justin Long which culimated not at the alter but on Oprah’s Winfrey’s crazy couch. 



Regarding her company’s foray into the murky, dirty syringe filled, post-drunken hot tub sex vomit infused waters of reality TV, Drew says “We’re all trying to figure out how to make love function while continuing to better ourselves, This show is a fun way to do that.”



As long as Drew herself is not dispensing any sage relationship advice, I’m sure it’ll be a blast.
