Macy, Anna Paquin, David Spade, Rachael Taylor and Anna Torv have joined the list of presenters for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards.

MTV’s Supervideo series, which pairs movie directors with bands for ambitious music videos, kicked off in the fall with a David Ayer–directed, Anna Kendrick–starring clip for LCD Soundsystem’s “Pow Pow.” Now Supervideo’s back, with Drew Barrymore: The multi-hyphenate took directorial duties for Best Coast’s “Our Deal” and has churned out a nice, frothy little West Side Story homage full of young, good-looking famous people. Chloe Moretz and Tyler “Teen Wolf 2.0″ Posey are the star-crossed lovers; Donald Glover, Alia Shawkat (who was also in Barrymore’s Whip It), and Miranda “iCarly Money” Cosgrove are the supporting players. Not present: Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino or Cosentino’s indie-rock famous cat, Snacks. Carles is going to be bummed.

There is a new release date for the film “Everybody Loves Whales”. The film has been pushed back from January 2012 to February 3, 2012! The film is about a news reporter who works with a Greenpeace activist to save a family of gray whales trapped by ice in the arctic circle, and how their quest even caused the Soviet Union and the United States to momentarily put their conflict on hold during the Cold War.

Drew Barrymore teams up with photographer Norman Jean Roy for a Neiman Marcus fall advertising campaign.

The 36-year-old actress is only the second celeb to represent the brand since the chain’s “Art of Fashion” campaign debuted in 1994.

“The shoot tells the story of a star’s transformation and Ms. Barrymore had a strong hand in the execution, even down to having a point of view on hair styling,” Eddie Nunns, vice president of Neiman Marcus brand creative, told WWD. “She’s a powerful, modern woman with trans-generational appeal.”

Drew’s campaign will debut in the September issues of magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and W, and a digital version in collaboration with Vanity Fair will be available on iPad.

Drew Barrymore is attached to produce with an eye to direct Heist Society, a young adult thriller being made by Warner Bros.

Drew Barrymore joins Denise Di Novi and Di Novi Pictures’ Alison Greenspan as producers on the project, which Warners won last year in a multi-studio bidding war for the novel by Ally Carter. Screenwriter Shauna Cross is set to adapt.

The book follows a young woman named Katarina Bishop who hails from an extended family of cat burglars and master thieves. The girl leaves her illicit life behind, but when her father is the prime suspect in the case of a mobster’s missing art collection, she assembles a crew to track down the art and steal it back.

The studio is aging the characters a notch into their early 20s. Barrymore will also supervise the writing.

By attaching herself to Society, Barrymore is again working with Cross, who wrote Whip It, Barrymore’s well-regarded female-centric roller derby flick starring Ellen Page and Kristen Wiig, among others.

Drew Barrymore, repped by CAA, is signed to helm How to Be Single, a New Line romantic comedy, and the plan is to tackle Society after Single.

Drew Barrymore has made it to #59 on the PopSugar 100 of 2011 List!

59. Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore took Going the Distance around the globe, but shortly after promotions for the film wrapped, she and costar Justin Long went their separate ways in real life. She hadn’t been single for long when she started dating Will Kopelman early this year, and they’ve enjoyed romantic dates, casual lunches, and courtside Lakers seats in the Spring. Drew headed to Alaska in the Winter to shoot Everybody Loves Whales. She’s now gearing up to direct again, with the project How to Be Single in development. There was more professional success in store, as the Charlie’s Angels TV series, which she’s producing, got picked up by ABC.

A film synopsis and release date for “Everybody Loves Whales” has been announced! The movie is set for release on January 13, 2012 and you can read the synopsis below.

Based on the inspiring true story that captured the hearts of people across the world, the rescue adventure Everybody Loves Whales tells the amazing tale of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can’t wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too. With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she’s also his ex-girlfriend. With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales. As the world’s attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War.

Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino has revealed that Hollywood actress and director Drew Barrymore will be helming the video for the band’s new single ‘Our Deal’.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Contestino said that the video would feature appearances from Kick Ass star Chloe Moretz, iCarly actress Miranda Cosgrove and comedian Donald Glover.

She said: “I met Drew Barrymore after a show in LA and we ended up talking about how we could work together. So she’s going to direct a video and Miranda Cosgrove, Chloe Moretz and Donald Glover are all going to be in it. Its got a very cool concept, which Drew came up with.”
