Tom Green prooves he's a freak yet again

December 17, 2001 7:19 PM

Tom Green prooves he's a freak yet again by divorsing Drew Barrymore. I'm not saying that Drew's a goddess, but anyone who flashes David Letterman on TV is okay in my book. Perhaps this crushing blow to his psyche will keep Tom from writing/staring in another movie like "Freddy Got Fingered."

He Cited "Irreconsilable Differences" which, ironically, is a movie Drew made when she was young.

Ick, MetaFilter meets the National Enquirer! Honestly, who really cares about celebrity marriages? (Rev-, this is not a shot at you, I'm honestly wondering where the market for this crap is.)

The reason he filed for divorcee IS the movie "Irreconcilable Differences” Tom finally watched the movie and realized what a terrible actress she is.

Maybe she just wouldn't quit making fun of the fact that he has only one ball.

machaus, you just made my day.

Drew is so a goddess! In fact, the only thing wrong with her is that she would even consider, for the briefest moment, marrying Tom Green.

So who (or what) has Tom Green sold his soul to? I'm an annoying in-your-face freak, but did I get to make a mega-zillion-dollar career out of it? Did I get to marry a teen hottie actress? No! What up with that?

You know this is gonna be material for his next film "Drew Got Fingered".

Is it possible this is a put on by him/them?
I mean, he's done this sort of thing in the past, with fake marriage/pregnancy things. I'm not saying that it IS a joke (filing it and then withdrawing it later), but I think it has to be at least considered an option. Both of these people need a publicity boost since no one went to their last movies (Tom and Drew) , so this might just be it.

Dark Messiah, whose marriages would you prefer we talk about? My neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Spiegel?

Why do we have to talk about ANYONE's marriage, ya weirdo?

So Fofer, what's up with Mr. and Mrs. Spiegel? How long have they been together, anyway? Everything seem to be going OK with them?

I heard that Mr. Spiegel has only one ball...

Does that mean that Mrs. Spiegal might be on the market again soon?

Finally. Now when I call Drew she won't have to keep acting like she's discussing deals with her agent whenever Tom is in the room.

I heard Mr. Speigel just makes faces all day.

So it was really only a matter of time.

Mr. and Mrs. Spiegel? As in Spike Jonze and Sophia Coppola?

No way. It's up to We the People to continue avoiding Tom Green projects-- and the media industry to stop throwing their money into such sinkholes in an effort to get our money. The public votes with its pocketbook: Tom Green=box office poison.

It was definitely the Chad.

he divorced her. If true that would pretty much make him a psychopath. How could anyone not want to be with Drew Barymore? I mean, yeh she's gained some weight but, come on..

Actualy, I think this whole thing is probably a setup, to be honest. It wouldn't be the first time something like this occoured.

Drew Barrymore has gained some weight? Where? In her lips? Her hair? Oh, yeah, I forgot, she's got real hips and breasts, like a normal woman. She obviously doesn't deserve love, not even from a freak like Tom Greene. What on earth were we thinking? Clearly this marriage must be immediately dissolved on the grounds of excessive wifely fatness!

To quote the bard:

"Give me a sista'/Can't resist her/Red beans and rice didn't miss her"

I think that Drew could fit a loose interpretation of this...

A normal woman in the country where they have to put out notices like this?

Courtney Cox and David Arquette can't be far behind

Yah, Drew's cool. A female actress of some fair amount of popularity who isn't a walking skeleton is A-okay in my book.

A warning to Canada: send any more Tom Green's our way and we'll have to vaporize Ottawa! (I didn't think there could possible be anyone out there more annoying than Adam Sandler. I was dead wrong.)

A la Gamma World: We have the power! The choice is yours!
