Drew Barrymore is keeping busy with multiple exciting projects and personal revelations as she balances her career as an actress, talk show host, and entrepreneur.
The 49-year-old actress has opened up about her experience with sleep and motherhood, sharing insights with People magazine about how she has adjusted her nighttime routine over the years. "Being a mom, businesswoman, and someone whose mind is constantly racing can feel not just challenging but impossible," Barrymore revealed. She noted the importance of good sleep for her well-being, emphasizing, "We can’t be our best selves without a good night’s rest. Ask any cranky baby — or grownup!"
Mother to two daughters, Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, Barrymore mentioned how her sleep patterns have changed since becoming a parent. “I used to toss and turn throughout the night or stay up staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep,” she explained. After partnering with Rest as their official “Sleep Wellness Advocate,” Barrymore learned the significance of sleeping in a cooler environment and using specialized cooling bedding, saying it has been a total game-changer. "Using cooling bedding has made my sleep environment absolutely perfect. It sets me up to achieve more restful sleep," she stated.
Alongside her health initiatives, Barrymore is also focusing on her entrepreneurial ventures. Recently, the actress expanded her Beautiful line at Walmart, introducing the Stoneware Collection geared toward the holiday season. Featuring items like the 3-Piece Stoneware Bowl Set and the 9” Stoneware Pie Dish, the collection includes seven products made from non-porous, chip-resistant, and stain-resistant materials, all available in the universal Porcini Taupe color. Fans have expressed excitement for the new launches, with one shopper exclaiming, "Let’s go!" this on social media.
Hot on the heels of the stoneware release, Barrymore has also unveiled elevated kitchen tools and gadgets as part of the Beautiful brand. The items come in multiple colors, and feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Buyers are keeping their eyes on Barrymore's consistently growing line, with one remarking, "If she keeps coming out with stuff, I’m gonna be broke!"
Barrymore’s upcoming television projects also promise to bring entertainment and charm to her fans. She is set to appear on the new reboot of the classic game show Hollywood Squares, where she will occupy the famed center square. "I want to get out and run around! I want to yell at people!" she playfully exclaimed. The much-loved game show, which originally aired from 1966 to 1980, will feature celebrities answering questions posed by contestants, and Barrymore is excited about bringing her personality to the format. "People like to feel they're part of a party; they want to laugh and be happy," she remarked. The show is set to premiere on CBS on January 9, 2025, and will be co-hosted by Nate Burleson.
For Barrymore, blending personal and professional life continues to yield blissful moments and impactful projects. Concentrated on her work with CBS Mornings and The Drew Barrymore Show, she noted the significance of having job security for her and her team. "This is such a gift and privilege," she reflected, expressing her gratitude for the continued success of her talk show, which has enjoyed its sixth season renewal.
