As countless paparazzi pics prove, Drew Barrymore is a tonsil hockey enthusiast, but she's apparently taking her saliva-swapping hobby to the next level. E! News claims the star had her tongue pierced at a Los Angeles tattoo parlor a few days back. A spy says Drew's skewer of choice was a stainless-steel barbell, which she's supposedly wanted for several years. "She was really cute," relays the eyewitness. "When she was filling out her release form, one of the questions was, 'Do you have a history of passing out?' She said jokingly, 'Only when self-induced.'" E! says Barrymore's frequent face-sucking partner, Justin Long, was absent for the elective impalement, but she brought along two pals for support.

Charlize holds tight to Stuart's "beautiful" hand.

Charlize Theron has a bone to pick with the Beatles over the concept that love is all you need. "Here's the thing: The Beatles had it wrong about love," the Oscar-winning knockout tells the July issue of Glamour. "They did! I think if you are in a one- or two-year relationship, love is enough. You can thrive on that. [But] when you hit years three and four, you realize that if you're going to live with somebody and not just live near somebody ... you have to be nurtured emotionally and spiritually, and you have to be intrigued. Because if that intrigue runs out, you're not going to want to go home anymore." Charlize has been intrigued with Stuart Townsend for seven years, and she jokingly credits his "beautiful feet and hands" for their romantic staying power. Another key to their success: the Irish actor's willingness to ogle. "I've always said that I worry about being with a man who doesn't flirt," she says. "I love that Stuart can watch tennis and tell me that he's got a crush on a tennis player. We're not meant to just like one person. But [that] doesn't mean you go and build a life with another person." And as she has done many times before, the actress details her reasons for not wanting to make things legal. "I want to be clear: I am not judgmental about [the institution of] marriage," she explains. "I am judgmental about how our government doesn't want to see the reality of gay and lesbian marriages."

If we were photographed being carried out of an awards ceremony while sporting pink hair and a dress emblazoned with the image of Bambi spurting blood, like Lily Allen was Tuesday night in London, we'd probably follow her lead and plead memory loss, too. Seems the British party-girl popster believes her blackout at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards may have been caused by more just an open bar. "Yeah, I don't know what happened, maybe I was spiked," the London Daily Mail quotes her as saying at a soiree Wednesday night. "I don't remember a thing. I can normally get really drunk, but not like that." In a morning-after MySpace post, Lily conceded that she got "too drunk. It's not cool getting that drunk," and even put up before-and-after pictures to illustrate the evening's downward trajectory. "Kids, drink responsibly or you'll end up looking like this," she warned. "Not pretty!

It's always sad when someone's dream dies, but it's even sadder when it breathes its last on reality TV ... in Australia. Three years ago, Tara Reid dreamed of winning an Oscar. Now, says the Daily Telegraph, the plastic surgery survivor is rumored to be in the running for coffer-filling stints on the Down Under versions of "Big Brother" and "Dancing With the Stars." Tara must have made quite an impression on the land of koalas and vegemite with her December hosting stint at the Hookers Ball, which was exactly what the name implies.
