Like most girls in their 20s who treat irony as a lifestyle, I’m hyper in love with Elle… which is why I find it so confusing that two stars in a row flaked on their cover interviews with the magazine…
First Ms. Lohan makes writer Andrew Goldman jet to The Gansevoort, then to The Mercer, then to London, then finally to his iBook where he writes one of my favorite sentences ever: “I was taking a trip through Lohanland, and if I had to pen a travel article on my stay there, it would be one-word short, and in the diction of its indigenous people: whatever.”
Now Drew Barrymore follows suit , canceling on Alexandra Jacobs in similar form until she finally calls her from Portugal, cooing, “I hope you aren’t cross with me.” She later meets Elle – inexplicably – in a restaurant at LAX. Yes, like the airport.
So now the real question: do celebs only blow off Elle, or is Elle the only magazine gutsy enough to call them on it? Which makes me love it even more…

I wouldn’t be surprised if celebs cancel all the time. They think they own the world.
By the way… wonderful blog. I love reading it.
if i were a celebrity i wouldn’t give ELLE the time of day either.
I’ve actually eaten at the restaurant at LAX where Drew did her interview, and I can’t imagine why she chose it. Yes, it’s cool-looking from the outside, but the food was (at best) only as good as what a mediocre reception hall would offer.
