In one of the strangest pairings of Drew Barrymore’s serial monogamist career, the actress was spotted, photographed and subsequently blogged about clinched in a conspicuous concert makeout session with Gossip guy Ed Westwick. (However, we are talking about a woman once married to Tom Green, so maybe it’s not that strange?)

Her rep had no comment on the reported smooch.

The weirdest part is probably the 12-year age difference between the 33-year-old rom-com sweetheart and the 21-year-old actor who plays sleazy but totally awesome Chuck Bass. Maybe we're blowing this a bit out of proportion (after all, we do have a supercrush on Mr. Bass, so we're protective), but should we be concerned?

Drew's not old by any means, but something about it comes off a little cougarish, and for Ed it's probably not the best idea to make it big by hooking up with Drew. Look how that worked out for Justin Long—he's still just the Mac dude who now sometimes gets to hang out with Kirsten Dunst.

What do you think? Does this pairing get the E! Online commenter seal of approval, or should they go looking elsewhere for that special concert makeout partner next time?

UPDATE: As of Friday afternoon, Justin Long's rep still had no comment. However, a source close to the actor says, "There was never a formal casting announcement or closed deal."

The source also says Long is at Comic-Con promoting upcoming film projects.

Drew Barrymore apparently whipped him good.

A source tells E! News that Justin Long, who remains "distraught" over being dumped by the Charlie's Angels star, has dropped out of the roller-derby comedy Whip It!, which marks Barrymore's feature directorial debut.

"He couldn't stand working with her and not being with her," the Long insider says. "He's too upset."

Drew Barrymore: Hollywood star and budding crimefighter.

The actress was cruising the mean streets of West Hollywood Monday morning when her car was tagged by another vehicle.

The rear-ended Barrymore was not injured, says West Hollywood Sheriff's Lt. Lajana Haselrig, but the actress seemingly took offense when the other motorist sped from the scene without exchanging insurance information...or even asking for an autograph.

Our hero apparently took off after the hit-and-runner, tailing the baddie long enough to jot down his license plate number.

The offending motorist remains at large, says Haselrig, who wouldn't confirm that Barrymore gave chase.

But the officer acknowledges that someone (wink-wink) did provide the digits: "We have a plate and it is currently under investigation."

All in a day's work for one of Charlie's Angels.
