Drew Barrymore wants to expand her horizons with more serious roles

SHE may be cute as a button, but her CV leaves a lot to be desired for.

DREW BARRYMORE has starred in some uber-slushy chick-flicks that are more boring than scorching.

And thanks to a mouthy air stewardess, the Never Been Kissed actress seems to have got the message.

The Hollywood star and producer is now hoping to expand her projects with more serious roles.

Drew said: "I remember one stewardess on a plane saying, 'What do you have coming out?'

"And I said, 'Oh, I'm doing this romantic comedy.'

"She said, 'Another one!' Part of me felt like saying, 'Listen, b***h.' But the other part of me felt like, 'You know what? You are absolutely f***ing right.

"I need to change. I need to do other things."

Despite performances in Fever Pitch, 50 First Dates and HUGH GRANT flop Music and Lyrics, Drew has scored a couple of gems under her belt.

She starred alongside JAKE GYLLENHAAL in Donnie Darko and played a teen mum opposite BRITTANY MURPHY in Riding in Cars with Boys.

Naturally curvy Drew Barrymore has lost 15lbs, but admits it has not been easy or fun.

"I've always hated those people who say that eating right and exercising is the only way to lose weight, but now I'm with them, I'm one of them.

"I use a StairMaster, go to Pilates classes and run regularly. I run as far as I can. I don't cook, so I get all my food from healthy takeaways in Los Angeles. You can order really delicious, fresh steamed fish or chicken with steamed vegetables. The difficult thing is that now I've lost the weight, I'm trying to maintain it."

Although she is happy with her weight loss, Drew has vowed not to succumb to Hollywood's current size zero trend.

I'm not surprised that so many celebrities get hook on drugs, it is addictive after all and I admire those who overcome it. At the same time, I'm disappointed that tabloids would even publish this. It's not like it's a positive thing to expose those who used or uses drugs, and I believe it will influence others to try it. Especially since there are so many people facinated with celebrities including myself.
