Drew Barrymore Jokes About 'Cocaine Days' in 'Hollywood Squares' Sneak Peek
Drew Barrymore has a sense of humor about her past addiction struggles.
During Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of the Sunday, January 19, episode of Hollywood Squares, Barrymore, 49, was asked who Tom Conti played in 2023’s Oppenheimer.
“Punky Brewster,” she quipped. “By the way, I was on the set of that show, of course. Oh, yeah, me and Soleil Moon Frye used to kick it!”
Barrymore’s fellow panelist Whitney Cummings then asked if the Punky Brewster set visit was during her “cocaine days.” (The four-season sitcom aired between 1984 and 1988.)

“Actually, it was just before,” Barrymore explained. “I was with Punky and then I got spunky.”
Barrymore, the iconic Center Square on the rebooted game show, has been a Hollywood mainstay since childhood following a scene-stealing turn in Steven Spielberg’s E.T. By age 13, Barrymore entered rehab for the first time after experimenting with drugs and alcohol. She has been sober since 2019.
“I’ve had a ‘bad girl’ narrative on my back my whole life. I thought I deserved bad things. Now I’m raising two daughters. I can’t do that to myself anymore,” Barrymore exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2024. “Kind of like the drinking — I’m picking off things one at a time, going, ‘I can’t carry you anymore. You aren’t good for me.’”
Barrymore shares daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, with ex-husband Will Kopelman and has since been candid about how motherhood shifted her overall perspective.
Drew Barrymore Jokes She'll 'Pull Out a Hair Extension' on 'Hollywood Squares'
“The personal part of me has been the ultimate work in progress. The professional in me feels really brave and never entitled. Always so privileged and grateful,” she revealed to Us last year. “I’ve lost everything. I’ve got it back. I’ve lost it again. Got it back. So I don’t assume anything stays. I know not to take anything for granted. Whatever difficult times I’ve gone through professionally, I believed I could rewrite things. Then in my personal life, I was a failure and a broken person. I can’t f—ing believe I’m alive sometimes. And it’s the first time in my life, going on 49, that [the personal and professional] are complementing each other. Time is the greatest asset we have — it allows things to get better, to shift, to have light come into a dark space.”
Presently, Barrymore appears on Hollywood Squares and her eponymous The Drew Barrymore Show, respectively.
A special episode of Hollywood Squares airs on CBS Sunday, January 19, after the AFC primetime football game. Later episodes will be broadcast Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET.

Meredith Duxbury Finally Admits If She Really Used 10 Pumps of Foundation
Influencer Meredith Duxbury is finally coming clean about her not-so clean-girl makeup routine.
Duxbury, 25, took to TikTok on Thursday, January 16, to reveal that she didn’t actually use the obscene amount of foundation that she went viral for. “Since TikTok might be getting banned there’s one secret I need to share with you,” the beauty guru captioned the video. “I did wipe some of those 10 pumps off.”
Fans shared their thoughts in the comments section, happy to finally learn the truth. “Reveal of the century,” one follower wrote. A second added, “I needed this kind of closure, thank you.” A third, who believed Duxbury’s hack, commented, “NOOOOO YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME RN I BELIEVED YOU.”
Duxbury went viral back in 2023 by taking her makeup to the extreme with a whopping 10 pumps of foundation on her skin before layering on concealer, bronzer, blush and more. At the time, other makeup creators were opting for a “clean girl” aesthetic, which consisted of minimal foundation, dewy skin and soft features. Duxbury, however, stood out for her heavy glam.
Meredith Duxbury Gets Real About Stardom, Haters and Her Viral Foundation Hack
In April 2023, she shared a TikTok explaining why she used so much foundation, and even ensured fans that she was indeed using all 10 pumps despite being accused of wiping some off.
“I do not remove all the foundation and redo my makeup. I use my hands to blend it in to reduce the amount of waste of foundation,” she continued, noting that brushes and sponges absorb some of the product. “A lot of people think I do my foundation like this for views, which is untrue.”
Earlier this month, Duxbury maintained her claims that she used that much foundation, writing via TikTok, “When everyone says my 10 pumps of foundation were just for views … it was real, believe it or not.”
Meredith Duxbury Doesn’t Want to be ‘Put in a Box’
Since going viral, Duxbury has toned down her foundation use and now dons a more natural base.

'Fire Country.' More First Responder Shows Thank Those Fighting L.A. Fires
Fire Country, 9-1-1 and more shows have publicly thanked firefighters and first responders who are still fighting the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires.
CBS released a PSA on Thursday, January 16, that featured cast members from shows such as Fire Country, The Neighborhood, Ghosts, Poppa’s House, NCIS and Elsbeth rallying for donations to support residents affected by the tragedy.
Fire Country’s Max Thieriot, Stephanie Arcila, Jules Latimer, Kevin Alejandro, Billy Burke and Diane Farr thanked responders and encouraged donations to the Red Cross.
“We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all of the firefighters and first responders who are risking their lives and tirelessly battling the wildfires in southern California,” Thieriot, 36, said in the video. “You are true heroes.”
Sandra Lee Says Her House ‘Still Stands’ Amid L.A. Wildfires
Amid the rapidly changing natural disaster, CBS pulled a Fire Country rerun that was to air January 10. The hit series follows inmate Bode (Thieriot) as he gets a chance to shorten his prison sentence by volunteering for the California Conservation Camp Program. Bode gets assigned to his hometown, where he reconnects with his family and former friends and continues to make attempts to redeem himself.
Wildfires broke out in the Pacific Palisades on January 7 and quickly spread throughout other parts of Los Angeles. Many celebrities who live in the area have offered updates about losing their homes and personal belongings.
Thieriot, 36, who is the lead and executive producer on the project, previously spoke to Us Weekly about his experience growing up in real fire country.
“That’s probably the biggest thing that I’m always trying to do better. I have a lot of friends that do this job and so it’s always important to me to portray it in the best way possible. Obviously this is still a fictional story but that doesn’t fall short on me,” he explained in May 2024. “Obviously the bigger the world gets, the more my focus is sort of spread out across a lot of things. But it’s all about having trust in the whole team. And trusting that when everybody pitches their ideas and we all come together that we’re gonna find the best one for the series.”

Thieriot also highlighted some important causes such as the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, which provides immediate and long term assistance to fallen and injured firefighters and their families.
“Obviously, we have a big platform where we can reach a lot of people. I took a little bit of a poll from a bunch of wildland firefighters that I know. I got back the same feedback from a lot of these people who are boots on the ground firefighters and they said this was an organization that really represented the community well and were really trying to make a difference for them,” he told Us in October 2024. “Wildland firefighters — especially on the government side — really have been underpaid at a time where we really need the resources to fight these fires and need to have firefighters out there willing to make these sacrifices.”
He concluded: “There’s been a lot of people recently who have been reflecting on the job and the toll that it takes. They are asking, ‘Is this worth it for me to be doing this when I could basically make more money doing almost anything and my life is at risk?’ Those people just need to feel supported and their families need to feel supported. The money goes to help firefighters who are injured. It goes to help their families when they lose family members in the line of duty. To me, it just felt like a really important cause.”

In addition to Fire Country‘s attempts to raise awareness, ABC’s 9-1-1 issued a statement on social media about how the show “is honored to tell stories about the courage of real-life first responders. We thank them for their bravery fighting the L.A. wildfires and are proud to support their efforts through Disney’s $15 million donation for immediate response and rebuilding efforts, which includes support of the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, among other organizations.”

Meredith Gaudreau Got a Tattoo Using the Ashes of Her Late Husband Johnny
Meredith Gaudreau found a poignant way to keep her late husband’s legacy alive permanently.
Following the death of Meredith’s husband, NHL star Johnny Gaudreau, in August 2024, she recently received tattoos to commemorate Johnny using his ashes in the ink.
“A month ago, a client reached out to me for a cremation tattoo,” tattoo artist Tay Nicole Clinch shared via Instagram on Wednesday, January 15. “I’d never done one and was transparent about that but she chose to stick with me anyway. Shortly after, she let me in on her story and It’s safe to say I got pretty emotional when I’d come to realize this was a story I had already knew of and was brought to tears over in the past.”
Johnny and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, were struck and killed by a drunk driver while riding bicycles in Oldmans Township, New Jersey, on August 29, 2024. Johnny was 31 years old, Matthew was 29.
Why the Gaudreau Brothers’ Heartbreaking Tragedy Captured Everyone's Attention
Clinch continued, “With some factors involved, this isn’t something I’d do but given the circumstances, I made an exception. Safety was prioritized. A medical professional was consulted and gave clearance, ensuring this decision was made with care and informed guidance.”
Meredith had the ford “Forever” tattooed on the inside of one of her fingers and the names of her two children — daughter Noa, 2, and son Johnny, 22 months — on her forearm.
“So, with his ashes in the ink, this tattoo became an additional way to carry his presence with her alongside their babies— thank you for trusting me with something so special and letting me play a small role in your healing journey,” Clinch wrote.
Clinch explained she waited a month to post about the tattoos because she “wanted Meredith to have some private time with these while they healed and they’ve healed well without any unusual side effects.”
Meredith expressed her gratitude in the comments section of Clinch’s post, writing, “Obsessed with them. Perfectly done by the best and coolest girl.”
Meredith Gaudreau Honors Late Husband Johnny: 'I Love You More Every Day’
The tattoo artist hinted that there might be more ink in Meredith’s future, commenting, “So excited for the other ideas.”
At a memorial service for Johnny and Matthew in September 2024, Meredith revealed she was nine weeks pregnant with the couple’s third baby.
“We’re actually a family of five,” Meredith said during her eulogy. “I’m in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby. A total surprise, but again, John was beaming and so excited.”
Meredith added, “I was so nervous because this was, again, a total surprise. But his reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me even though I was driving the car. After the initial excitement sank in, every time he looked at me, he would say, ‘You’re nuts, you know that? Three kids?’”
This Affordable 12-Week Health Plan Has Reviewers Saying They Are Loosing Their ‘Menopause Belly’
If you’re struggling to lose weight and keep it off, it’s time to stop relying on old diets that have no proven results. Instead, opt for a solution that has an impeccable track record like Reverse Health, which creates customized plans for those in menopause. To get started, all you need is to take a simple quiz that helps to map out your 12-week journey. Now is the perfect time to get going, too, since Reverse Health is still offering a whopping 50% off its programs.
Reverse Health makes it easy to achieve your goals. Unlike other diet plans and lifestyle changes, this weight loss program offers tailored meal plans and other tools that will actually help you shed unwanted weight. It’s also the first women-only weight loss program designed for those 40 and older, and for those 12 weeks, you’ll be addressing your health in a way that other programs fail to understand.
Developed by nutrition expert Matt and mindset coach Monika, Reverse Health was birthed after 10 years of research — so you know it’s not just a quick fix. Not only does this plan help you reach your goals, but it also helps with long-term weight management, providing priceless advice that will allow you to age in a healthier way.
“We tackle the unique challenges of weight gain and slow metabolism during menopause with personalized meal plans, exercise routines and expert support,” the company states.
Here’s what shoppers are saying about their results and the app itself.
“I’ve been on so many diets, but this plan is truly different,” one user wrote. “I’m losing my awful menopause belly, yet the guidelines are so simple. I’m hooked!”
“Day 30 of the program, and today I’ve hit some really important benchmarks,” another added. “I have lost 10 pounds and reached a healthy BMI as a result! I really believe in this program. I have tried many others and they didn’t work. It’s really liberating not to count calories and just to focus on putting healthy food on my plate.”
Many have noted that while other plans haven’t worked for them, Reverse Health is totally different.
“I’ve done every weight loss program known to women and this is the first one that delivered,” someone explained. “I am eating way more protein than I ever have (I blame my long fingers). Seriously, up your protein and quit worrying about how many calories you took in today.”
Give the app a try for yourself while it’s 50% off. Who knows? By summer you’ll probably be grateful you started when you did!
