Drew Barrymore

Blogger

Employer: Jezebel.com
Salary: $35,000 a year, no benefits (not a full-time employee)

She’s verbose and funny, but there’s always been something slightly off-putting in the way Drew Barrymore presents herself on the big screen. (She’s somewhere between a sex symbol and a gigglepuss.) But like many people of her generation, she’d be great at blogging: a job that would allow her to talk about whatever she wanted and come off as smart and informed, instead of just a Plain Jane surrounded by more attractive costars.
