Drew Barrymore Talks Baby Bumps, Pregnancy Weight

When Drew Barrymore stepped on stage during the People’s Choice Awards last week and announced, “Ellen DeGeneres just told me I was fat,” she caused gasps in the audience.

But appearing on The Ellen Show, the former child actress explained it was all a joke. “I’m so glad you can see us laughing,” Drew told the chat show host’s audience.

“I told this joke, but I don’t know if it translated ‘cause we were laughing our butts off backstage,” she recalled of her encounter with Ellen before she went on stage.

Drew did admit, however, that she’s “bigger this time” than during her first pregnancy.

“I just eat everything I want, which isn’t healthy,” she revealed.

“My doctor the other day was like, ‘Yeah, so I think maybe pull back a little bit’ and I was like ‘really? I thought I was doing great! I still fit into those jeans, I mean, they hurt when I wear them but I’m still in them…’” she laughed.

Ultimately, though, the E.T. star is thrilled that she’s having another baby, and is relaxed about the changes to her body. 

“Listen, it takes 9 months to make it, it takes 9 months to unmake it,” she wisely stated.

“I wanna enjoy the pasta right now.”
