Drew Barrymore gets touchy feely with Cate Blanchett in viral clip driving fans wild
Drew Barrymore had fans buzzing on Monday after sharing a tender moment with Cate Blanchett on The Drew Barrymore Show. The E.T. alum, 50, welcomed the Oscar-winning actress, 56, and quickly launched into a playful discussion about Cate's love of wigs in films. Cate even slipped on a brunette wig, but when she pulled it off and a few strands of her real hair fell out of place, Drew quickly jumped up to help. With a soft smile and a twinkle in her eye, Drew gently smoothed Cate's hair and said sweetly, 'Let me make sure everything is perfect. You deserve to look beautiful.' As she cupped Cate's face and slowly sat back down, the Australian actress smiled and joked, 'Oh thank you, I've been stroked by Drew.' As many viewers recalled, Drew has long made it clear she's a huge Cate Blanchett fan — even joking back in 2017 while promoting The Santa Clarita Diet that Cate would be her dream celebrity to eat if she were a zombie — so it's no wonder social media lit up with reactions to the sweet hair-fixing moment. 'Drew is soooo in love with Cate I've never related to Drew more,' one fan joked, as another posted, 'She was so loving and attentive with Cate, she had been waiting for this meeting for a long time.' Another quipped, 'I feel like I'm interrupting here.' 'The way Drew Barrymore snapped up the opportunity to caress Cate Blanchett. Respect…' someone else posted. One viewer even put a black-and-white filter on the clip, captioning it like an old-timey movie: 'I ship them idc @DrewBarrymore #cateblanchett #drewbarrymore.' Another fan wrote, 'In this instance I have no other choice but bring back Drew Barrymore saying she'd like to eat Cate Blanchett.' And someone else summed up the vibe perfectly: 'I want Drew Barrymore to look at me the way she looks at Cate Blanchett.' One more added, 'The way Drew just kept wanting to hold or touch Cate but was hesitant… it's ok baby, Cate is a touchy person too — you could've crawled in her lap and she would've loved it.' It's clear: Drew's fangirl energy is alive and well — and fans are loving every second. As many viewers recalled, Drew has long made it clear she's a huge Cate Blanchett fan — even joking back in 2017 while promoting The Santa Clarita Diet that Cate would be her dream celebrity to eat if she were a zombie — so it's no wonder social media lit up with reactions to the sweet hair-fixing moment Back in 2017, while promoting The Santa Clarita Diet — where she played a suburban mom-turned-zombie — Drew was asked which celebrity she'd most like to eat. 'Cate Blanchett because she's like the most amazing woman ever,' Drew answered at the time. She added, 'She'd be umami. That's the combination of all the perfect flavors that create that palate explosion that you just can't top.' The tender moment with Cate comes on the heels of another fan-favorite Barrymore sighting — this time during a laid-back luxury yacht getaway. Drew was recently seen enjoying the South of France with her daughters, Olive, 12, and Frankie, 11, whom she shares with her ex-husband Will Kopelman, choosing a practical black one-piece over the usual string bikinis favored by other stars. She leapt off the boat into the ocean with a friend and later dried off on deck, towel cinched at the waist. Last year, Drew opened up about body image on her show, admitting, 'This weekend, I went to the beach with my girls and I just was like: "Ugh, I'm gonna take off my shirt and then I'm gonna be in my bathing suit and I'm gonna run into the water, and my thighs are gonna go like this,"; she said, miming them rubbing together. 'I'm not vain but I'm still a woman, I'm still normal, I still have the same thoughts about my cottage cheese thighs,' she added candidly. 'So I got up and I literally pulled my swimsuit out of my butt, and I ran to that beach - literally, my body just swinging in the wind - and I thought: "I just don't care anymore,"' she said,

Nestle flags further potential price hikes as tariffs, commodities weigh on margins
Swiss food giant Nestle said Thursday that prices for its KitKat bars and Nespresso coffee pods could rise further in the second half of this year, as U.S. tariffs risk exacerbating existing commodity price pressures. CEO Laurent Freixe said that he was "satisfied" with price hikes implemented in the first half of the year, but said that company was still considering whether further product-wide action would be needed. "Will we need a bit more [pricing action]?" Freixe said on an earnings call in response to a question on pricing action. "We might need a little bit more, but most of it is already done and will be seen reflected in the next quarters." Nestle shares were down 4.9% by 10:50 a.m. London time (5:50 a.m. E.T.). The world's largest packaged goods company posted better-than-expected first-half organic sales growth as it leaned on price hikes to offset higher input costs for its coffee and cocoa-related products. Organic sales growth at the Nescafe and Purina owner was up 2.9% in the six months to June, above analysts' average forecast of 2.8%. This was led by price rises of 2.7%, slightly ahead of the 2.5% forecast by analysts in a company compiled consensus. "We face an unprecedented scenario, where two of our major commodities have reached historical highs," Freixe said, referring to coffee and cocoa commodity costs. "We obviously had to take action. Being the leaders in the industry, we had to take action quickly," Freixe added. Nestle's total reported sales declined 1.8% over the period to 44.2 billion Swiss francs ($55.7 billion), slightly more than analyst expectations of 44.6 billion Swiss francs. Underlying trading operating profit (UTOP) margins dipped 0.9% to 16.5%. Chief Financial Officer Anna Manz said the company had faced headwinds in the first half from currency fluctuations, driven by a stronger Swiss franc, and minimal early impacts from U.S. tariffs. However, she said she expected those headwinds to worsen in the second half. "Second half margins will be significantly below the first half, she said, noting that price rises would be "more than offset by the increase in input costs, tariffs and fx [foreign exchange]." The company nevertheless maintained its 2025 guidance for organic sales growth to improve versus 2024 and for an underlying trading operating profit margin of 16% or above. Nestle's stock has lagged major rivals such as Unilever and Danone over recent years amid weaker sales growth and revised guidance, even as the sector at large has come under pressure from higher commodity prices and increased private label competition. Freixe, who took the helm in September, has vowed to refocus the business, saying a slew of acquisitions under his predecessor had "weakened the fabric" of the company. "With our six 'big bets,' we are following a fewer, bigger, better approach," Freixe said Thursday. Nestle's six 'big bets' refer to its priority product categories: Those include its infant formula 9, Nescafé Espresso Concentrate, the Maggi air fryer range, chocobakery, Purina's gourmet pyramid-shaped cat food, and Nescafé Dolce Gusto Neo. The company meanwhile said it was conducting a strategic review of some of its underperforming vitamin brands, including Nature's Bounty, Osteo Bi-Flex, noting that this could result in divestment. "All this is consistent with our approach across the group of focus and simplification," Freixe added. "We are taking the right actions today to strengthen our growth ambitions for the future."
