Inside Drew Barrymore's 'plain Jane' apartment that shocks fans as she breaks down in tears over the mess

Daily Mail​2 days ago
D rew Barrymore has shown off her New York City apartment in a new video shared to Instagram on Monday.
The 50-year-old talk show host took fans from room to room inside the sprawling pad as she revealed all the odd, old things she was planning on throwing out.
It was all part of a 'home project,' the ET actress said on the clip. 'The many emotions of starting a home project. Why do I do this to myself??' she wrote in her caption.
The living quarters are a far cry from what one would expect a successful movie star and cosmetics mogul who is worth $125M to live in.
Instead of high ceilings and modern fixtures, the dwelling appeared frozen in the 1980s with more homey comforts. And some of the rooms were just plain cluttered with too much clothing, toys and furniture.
Fans were shocked at the 'glow down' of her pad as they shared comments such as, 'That is a plain Jane apartment if I ever saw one' and, 'WOW. All I see is clutter. That set my OCD off big time.'
One fan had an eagle eye: 'OMG I spy a vintage ET lunchbox on the top shelf.'

Drew wore a colorful tie-dye T-shirt with pale pink Free City sweatpants as she had her hair up in a ponytail.
Her mood was at times jolly and at other times mournful as she made humorous comments.
The video began with her breaking down in tears as she stood in front of a home office. She seemed overwhelmed by the home task at hand as she talked to an assistant.
Next Barrymore appeared happier as she walked out of a bathroom with white-and-black tiles.

She was in a room that had a lot going on, like a plastic table, a gold lamp, a painting of a pink flamingo and a framed photograph.
The clip took a funny turn when she closed herself inside her tiny home office which had wallpaper with pink flamingos in a gray background.
Next came her taking odd things off a shelf like a red bucket with arts and crafts projects inside and a large stuffed turkey, though she did say 'the turkeys are staying.'
It was all part of a 'home project,' the ET actress said on the clip. 'The many emotions of starting a home project. Why do I do this to myself??' she wrote in her caption
The Poison Ivy actress danced a little as she walked out of the closet holding red heart shaped clips.
Then she was back in her bathroom as she folded her arms while crying into a mirror. The room was a mess with Home Depot buckets near her and two ladders.
The ex of Luke Wilson took a break from her chores to dance a little but before closing her eyes and sighing deeply.
More clips saw her in her living room and walk-in closet.
At the end of the video, she has a brown backpack on as she waves her finger now while frowning.
She was praised by fans for her authenticity after she shared a rare glimpse inside her home.
Fans felt the home was very 'normal' considering her fame and wealth.
In arch 2024, the star went viral on TikTok after she shared a clip of herself cooking and tidying up her home as viewers claimed they didn't know it was 'possible' that an A-lister like Drew could live in a 'normal house.'
Drew is frequently praised for her down-to-earth attitude and in a recent post on the social media app, she offered up yet another example of how she shies away from the stereotypical celebrity lifestyle.
The actress was applauded for her 'modest' home, with many viewers voicing their surprise that the multi-millionaire had such a 'small' cooking space - while others admitted that they had expected to see Drew living in a much more over-the-top mansion.
She captioned the viral video, which has so far amassed over 507,000 views, 'I love staying in.'
As she cooked, tried clothes on, and showed herself eating the background audio said: 'I like staying in. I know everyone thinks it's boring but it's really not.
'It's the least boring thing. I'm a really happy little hermit. I love being at home . I never want to go anywhere.'
The video featured glimpses of her home, which she previously told the LA Times was in between New York City and the Hamptons, having relocated from Los Angeles to the East Coast so that her children could be closer to their father, her ex Will Kopelman.
People flooded the comments section and praised her for her humble abode.
One person said: 'You give off the vibes of you bought your first apartment and you are still there, so wholesome and cute.'
Someone else added: 'Is it possible that you live in a normal house?!'
Another person commented: 'Wait, you don't have a chef?'
'I just love how simple but sophisticated you live,' wrote another user.

The single mother of daughters, Olive, 11, and Frankie, nine, admitted to People that, 'this has been the best decade of my life, without question.'
'It wasn't just the most awesome, it was the one where I feel like I've slayed more dragons than I ever have in my whole life.'
On the topic of positivity and happiness, she added, 'As a kid and even in my 20s and 30s, happiness seemed like this very giddy, excited optimism. It is a choice. You have to work for that. It is hard to get to some days. And so when you've harnessed it, that feels like such a better victory.'
In 2013, Drew sold her 1937 country estate, located in beautiful Montecito, California, for $6.35million, which was well below the asking price of $7.5million.
The Charlie's Angels star bought the two-acre home in 2010 for $5.7 million dollars, so she was able to walk away with a sizable profit.
The traditional home is six thousand square feet, has six bedrooms, seven and a half baths and an additional one bedroom guesthouse.
After leaving the mansion in 2013, Drew reportedly moved on to Manhattan duplex with her then-husband Will Kopelman while still having a California space.
When they split in 2016, Will moved to New York and Drew followed so that they could 'carry on as a family', despite being separated - adding that she didn't want it to affect her kids. Following her move, she has since kept the details of her properties private.

The Hunting Wives Season 1 Review – A proper guilty pleasure

Season 1 Episode Guide Episode 1 -| Review Score – 3/5 Episode 2 -| Review Score – 3.5/5 Episode 3 -| Review Score – 3.5/5 Episode 4 -| Review Score – 4/5 Episode 5 -| Review Score – 3.5/5 Episode 6 -| Review Score – 3.5/5 Episode 7 -| Review Score – 3.5/5 Episode 8 -| Review Score – 3.5/5 The Hunting Wives is the perfect definition of a guilty pleasure. It's an undeniably raunchy, trashy and outright sex-fuelled endeavour that feels designed to get eyeballs on it for the shock-value as much as the story itself. Beyond the first episode's very blatant titillation, when The Hunting Wives actually settles down and starts to showcase the story, there's an enticing and relatively interesting murder mystery at the heart of this that will keep you guessing right up until the shocking ending. Based on the novel sporting the same name, The Hunting Wives centers on newcomer Sophie O'Neil, who moves to the heart of East Texas with her husband Graham and their son Jack, determined to have a fresh start. Naturally, Sophie has some skeletons in her closet which threaten to come tumbling out as she becomes entangled within the charms of socialite Margo Banks. With her husband Jed looking set to jump into politics, and the small town still reeling after the disappearance of a girl six months back, Sophie finds herself on a collision course with chaos. From here, the show drinks a cocktail of obsession, seduction and murder. The story is given an injection of tension when a murder rocks the town, prompting police to launch an investigation into what may have happened. Adding more mystery to proceedings is a drunken night where Sophie wakes up with no knowledge of her whereabouts the night of the murder. The Hunting Wives leans into all the usual tropes of the genre, and it has a ton of suspicious characters with shady actions and motivations that will have you questioning who the killer is right up until the end. This show also doubles up as an erotic thriller and it's certainly not afraid to embrace this moniker with open arms. Expect everything from lesbian kissing to implied threesomes, all the way over to cheating and more. Honestly, The Hunting Wives does not hold back and while it isn't explicit in the way it showcases these sexual acts- at least outside of showing breasts or bare bottoms – it's also quite rare to see a show in 2025 be bold enough to go all-in in this way. Sophie is arguably one of the weaker personalities in this colourful ensemble, especially next to powerhouse Margo who does most of the heavy lifting in this series. The supporting characters around these two are an enticing bunch with their own subplots (mostly revolving around sex or sexual exploits). It's a bit of a car crash and its unashamedly bonkers, especially toward the last 2 or 3 episodes where The Hunting Wives decides to take the training wheels off and go completely bonkers with its story. These are some of the more crazy parts of the show but while entertaining, also display some pretty big plot contrivances and issues. None of this is helped by the cliffhanger ending, which baits for a second season. Honestly, it feels more like a desperate plea to the studios, especially as we actually get a definitive ending to the central mystery. Despite some of its more glaring flaws and some big plot contrivances toward the end, The Hunting Wives has an undeniably manic, sultry tone that'll keep you gripped until the final episodes. It's certainly not the best thriller of the year, nor is it going to win any awards, but it's a hell of a good time that isn't afraid to come out all guns blazing.

Fleetwood Mac stars make album announcement after days of fan speculation

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have confirmed the re-release of their 1973 album, Buckingham Nicks. The album, their only collaborative studio effort, is now available for pre-order and will be released on 19 September. Speculation about the re-release was ignited by matching cryptic social media posts from the duo and a promotional billboard appearing in Los Angeles. Their social media messages formed a lyric from 'Frozen Love', a song featured on the Buckingham Nicks album, with Mick Fleetwood also referencing the track. The re-release occurs amid ongoing fan hopes for a Fleetwood Mac reunion, despite Nicks previously stating the band cannot continue without Christine McVie, who died in 2022.

SYDNEY Sweeney has gone completely topless under just a denim jacket for a makeup-free for American Eagle photoshoot. American actress Sydney Sweeney, 27, looks sensational in sizzling new snaps shared by the brand for her brand new fall 2025 fashion campaign. 6 6 Posing in dark indigo denim while strewn across the floor in one snap, the stunning star ditched her bra completely as she smized for the camera. Her blond locks were styled in waves, with her tresses cascading over her shoulder. Not only did she ditch her bra, but she ditched makeup too.

"Sydney and Jonathan have been having major issues but are not fully split," an insider told Us Weekly back in March. They added: "Things are not great right now, but they aren't throwing in the towel yet. "They are working on their relationship but have called off the wedding for now." The pair were meant to tie the knot in Chicago this spring, the source said, but plans are now on hold. "The wedding is not happening, and they aren't having further discussions about it," they added. According to the insider, Sydney "wanted to cancel everything and couldn't handle the stress". Discussing the couple's issues, the insider revealed a lot of their relationship problems stem from Sydney being "extremely busy with work commitments". Sydney and Jonathan met in 2018 and got engaged in February 2022. 6
