Drew's Grey Success
After starring in the ensemble romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You, Barrymore switches gears to portray Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' reclusive first cousin, in the HBO movie Grey Gardens. The film attracts 2.7 million viewers by weekend's end, making it HBO's most watched TV movie since 2004.
Reuniting with Justin
At the premiere of her HBO flick Grey Gardens, Barrymore cozies up to former flame Justin Long. "I adore him," she says. "And I thank God that my friend supports me the way he does." While neither confirm being back on, they reunite onscreen in the hit romantic comedy Going the Distance.
Behind the Camera
Barrymore takes her first shot at directing for Whip It, a coming-of-age comedy starring Juno's Ellen Page who joins an all-girl roller derby team. "I like movies about girls who are capable," she says.

Oh, Baby!
With her fiancé at her side, Barrymore is spotted leaving a doctor's office in Los Angeles with a sonogram in-hand. Though she doesn't confirm her pregnancy, the bride-to-be does sport a small bump and is feted with a combined wedding and baby shower in April.
Blushing Bride
Barrymore, 37, ties the knot with Will Kopelman in an intimate and star-studded ceremony at her Montecito, Calif., home. The expectant, who is five months pregnant with her first child, wears a Chanel gown as she walked down the aisle in front of guests including Camreon Diaz, Jimmy Fallon and Reese Witherspoon. "The day was perfect," the bride tells PEOPLE. "Everyone we love and care about was there. It was as fun and meaningful as we ever could have hoped."
Baby Love
The actress and Kopelman celebrate the birth of their first child, daughter Olive, who is "healthy, happy and welcomed by the whole family," the couple tells PEOPLE in a statement. "It's like the biggest crush I've ever had in my life!" Barrymore later says, introducing her daughter in a December PEOPLE cover story. "You have the highest highs and yet you're facing the biggest fear of, 'How do I keep someone alive?'"
