Barrymore to scale back on Hollywood career...
Drew Barrymore is planning to take a step back from her career to focus on her love life.
The actress admits she is less likely to take on acting roles in the future as she wants to focus on her relationship with fiance Will Kopelman.
She comments, "I've done all of this for 35 years. I think maybe it's OK to put the life first for a minute. I don't really know this feeling. It's new and exciting. I really love being in love. I am that girl who will sit outside your house in a car at night. And I mean that in a sort of good, committed way, not a psycho-irritant.
"When I'm in love, I really commit myself to things, whether it's work or a person. So when I find that new work love, I'll stalk it."
Art consultant Kopelman proposed to Barrymore in December after the couple had been dating for nearly a year.
Madonna fuming over M.I.A.'s obscene super bowl gesture...
Madonna is reportedly furious with M.I.A. for flipping her middle finger during her Super Bowl set on Sunday.
The London rapper has come under fire for making the obscene gesture as she joined Madonna's half-time spectacular, which was watched by 111.3 million American viewers.
The Material Girl had promised TV producers she wouldn't break any indecency rules, set in place after Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction in 2004, and she's said to be fuming over M.I.A.'s rude gesture.
A source reveals, "Madonna wasn't impressed. She prides herself on professionalism. M.I.A. did nothing similar in rehearsals. Nobody knew she was going to pull this stunt.
"Madonna wanted to put on a world-beating performance. But everyone ended up talking about this girl's middle finger."
Bosses at NBC issued a statement about the controversial incident after receiving a flood of complaints.
A spokesperson says, "We apologize for the inappropriate gesture that aired during half time. It was a spontaneous gesture that our delay system caught late."

Heigl explores family tree in Germany...
Katherine Heigl took a break from her whistle-stop promotional tour of Europe to visit the childhood home of her German grandfather last week.
The actress stopped in the small town of Esslingen, near Stuttgart, while in Germany promoting her latest movie "One for the Money."
Katherine explored her ancestry with her mom Nancy, who was delighted to tour the house where her father Reinhold F. Engelhardt lived before emigrating to the U.S. in the 1920s.
She was greeted by her cousins at a civic reception in Esslingen's Old City Hall, where Mayor Juergen Zieger presented her with gifts including documents tracing her family roots.
She told reporters, "I worked in Germany when I was 17 in Berlin. This will be my second time in Germany, so it still feels like another country to me, but being here in Esslingen feels very emotional because of the history we have here."
Katherine later signed autographs and posed for pictures with fans as well as a newlywed bride who had just married in the City Hall.
Clint Eastwood donates commercial fee to charity...
Clint Eastwood has donated the fee he received for his Super Bowl commercial to charity.
The "Dirty Harry" star was accused of endorsing President Barack Obama�s re-election campaign in his two-minute advertisement for Chrysler about the resurgence of the auto industry in Detroit.
In the clip, which debuted during the football showdown on Sunday, Eastwood says, "They almost lost everything. But we all pulled together, now Motor City is fighting again. Yeah, it's halftime, America. And our second half's about to begin."
Eastwood has refuted claims he is affiliated with Obama and has assured voters he didn't pocket any money for the promo.
He tells Fox, "l am certainly not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama. It was meant to be a message about just about (sic) job growth and the spirit of America. I think all politicians will agree with it. I thought the spirit was OK.
"I am not supporting any politician at this time. Chrysler, to their credit, didn't even have cars in the ad. Anything they gave me for it went for charity. If Obama or any other politician wants to run with the spirit of that ad, go for it."

This actress is starting to feel her age after realizing she's old enough to play the mother of teenagers in movies...
It's Jennifer Aniston...
Jennifer still feels like she's in her 20s but she's dealt a reality check blow on movie sets when she finds herself starring alongside youngsters.
She comments, "You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are 20-something, or the new crop of actresses, and think, Aren't we kind of the same age? You lose perspective.
"Or being offered the part of a woman with a 17-year-old child. It's like, 'I'm not old enough to have a 17-year old!' And then you realize, 'Well, yeah, you are!'"
