Special Assignment: Meet Drew Barrymore!

Wednesday, September 9, 2009 by Amber

In exciting news, I'm headed into Boston this afternoon to cover an event hosted by Drew Barrymore in honor of her new flick (and directorial debut) called 'Whip It!' – a story about a small town girl who breaks out of her shell when she joins a roller derby league.

Starring Ellen Page and Drew herself, it's sure to be one of the best films to hit theatres this fall!

I'll be at the event, tweeting and transmitting pics on all the details to the Captivate audience, and I may even get a few seconds to say HI to one of my favorite stars.

Mel Brooks says, 'It's good to be the king.' I say, 'It's good to be the press.' :)

Follow Captivate on Twitter, and check our Facebook page later tonight and tomorrow morning for full coverage and a photo album of the event!

I'll post up some pics here tomorrow and Friday! I'm totally getting into this whole roller derby thing -- though there is a part of me that totally thinks it's fake (like wrestling).

And I made up my own Roller Derby name -- because everyone needs one! From now on, you can call me Coco Shrapnel! Woo hoo!
