Drew Barrymore Surprised To Hear Of Divorce


DREW BARRYMORE was "surprised" and "devastated" to hear that her husband TOM GREEN was filing for divorce, claim friends of the actress. The CHARLIE'S ANGELS (2000) star is heading for a second divorce after just five months of marriage to comedian Green, but friends say the split came as a "complete surprise" to the star.

Friends of Green insist that it was Barrymore's erratic behaviour that forced the comic to instigate the split. One pal says, "Drew still behaves like the five-year-old brat she was when she became famous. Tom just could not take any more. "

But now friends of the actress, who has a history of drinking and wild behaviour, are becoming increasingly worried about her emotional state. Pal Lauren Duff says, "She has been through so much and we always worry about her slipping back into the drugs that almost killed her. We are all rushing to her side. " (LE/WNTMA/ES)
