Drew Barrymore: Stop Asking About My Wild Child Past

Drew Barrymore has had about enough of reporters dredging up her past. In an August 24 interview with the London Daily Standard, she railed against "this bitch" with whom she had just finished an interview, who "just would not shut up" about her wild child past. Barrymore pulled no punches in admitting that she "wanted to rip this woman’s face off."

Not that Barrymore has shied away from discussing her precocious, troubled childhood in the past. "I am not someone who is ashamed of my past," she says, "[I] made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons. It’s actually good to get it done young and have a great life later." –KIMBERLY STEELE
