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."
What Becomes of the Brokenhearted?
Sarah Silverman was all smiles yesterday while shooting her Comedy Central series The Sarah Silverman Program, which really brought some sunshine into our fluorescent-lit cubicle.
We took the Silverman-Kimmel breakup news pretty hard last week (they really seemed like a perfect, darling couple). But heck, if Sarah can pull it together, we can too.
Unless she's just keeping it together for us and there are some seriously puffy red eyes under those Wayfarers. In which case, give us a call, Sarah, and we'll bring over some Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road and watch Tyra.
Kimmel-Silverman Breakup No Laughing Matter
The next time Sarah Silverman makes a video about which celebrity she's f--king, Jimmy Kimmel may not find it quite so funny.
The late-night talk-show host and the bawdy object of his affection have separated after five funnybone-tickling, viral video-goofing years, E! News has confirmed.
"Jimmy and Sarah are no longer dating...and will have no further comment," Lewis Kay and Amy Zvi, the respective reps for Kimmel and Silverman, said in a joint statement today.
Chili Pepper's Relationship No Longer Red Hot
His band is taking a haitus, and it looks like Anthony Kiedis' relationship is taking one, too.
The 45-year-old frontman for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and 22-year-old Heather Christie have ended their three-year relationship. The two have a 9-month-old son named Everly Bear, who was born in October 2007.
George Clooney's Ex Isn't Bitter Over Breakup
A smile goes a long way. Just ask Sarah Larson, George Clooney’s former girlfriend, who tells Hello! magazine she isn’t angry. NOT. ONE. BIT. Nope. Happy as a clam.
"I make good money. I have a house. I have all the things I've always wanted. I'm in a good place."
That’s right. No hard feelings, George. The former Vegas cocktail waitress and Christian Audigier model (her first billboard just went up Monday over the Ed Hardy boutique) will just take her big, TOTALLY UNBITTER smile to some other breathing lottery ticket. Thanks for the laughs.
A-Rod's Mystery Doc & Madonna's Missing Prenup
With all this gossip about Madonna's marriage and A-Rod's divorce, I need a translator. What the heck is this antenuptial agreement A-Rod has? And does Madonna have one? Does she even have a prenup?

You will not believe the answers I'm about to give you. They're so mind-blowing I don't think I can share it here on the front page. Your corneas may explode. Do me a solid and follow me into the jump, so's we can protect children and elderlies with weak or sensitive eyeballs.
Reality-Show Secrets: When Did They Say That?
When you see commentaries from castmembers on reality shows, are those interviews done during taping of the show or after, when everything is over?
—Selim, Rotterdam
Both.
When Sean rhapsodized on The Bachelorette about how much he loves his mama—he talks to her three or four times a day, boy howdy!—that was probably a prescheduled chat. It most likely happened sometime during the production season, but not necessarily on the same day that Sean was filmed hugging his weeping meemaw.
You can often spot a prescheduled interview by its stiffness. "It can often can seem more staged and scripted," reality-TV producer Tommy Swanhaus tells me. So here's how it all works behind-the-scenes at reality shows...
Update
Anne Hathaway Hath Gone Solo
Anne Hathaway is not only getting smart, she's apparently wising up.
E! News has confirmed that the actress has split from her scandal-prone boyfriend of the past four years, Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri. Rumors of the split have run rampant since Hathaway's solo turn on the red carpet at Monday's Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, Get Smart.
"There's been a breakup, God willing it's forever," a source close to the Hathaway family told E! News, adding that the actress' father, lawyer Gerald, has not exactly been a cheerleader for the relationship.

Sarah Larson Talks About Her "Very Sexy" New Job
Sarah Larson's relationship with George Clooney may have ended last month, but the gorgeous It girl tells E! that her budding modeling career is in high gear.
E! News caught up with Larson, 29, at the Lexus Style Villa Sports "Power of H" event Saturday night at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.
Larson, who attended the party with a girlfriend after walking the red carpet solo, said she signed on last week as the face of a new ad campaign for designer Christian Audigier's line of couture dresses. "I just shot it a few days ago," Larson told E! "The shoot was very sexy and feminine. It was a lot of fun."
Sarah Larson's Post-Clooney Life
Sarah Larson isn't going into hiding.
George Clooney's ex-girlfriend was back at work today, meeting and having lunch with her agent from Nous Model Management in Los Angeles.
Larson, 29, is up for a big-time lingerie campaign, plus she's interested in doing more AIDS charity work. Larson lost her father to the disease a few years ago.
Clooney Gives Ex a Honeymoon
George Clooney and Sarah Larson are splitsville, but that doesn’t mean the Ocean's Thirteen star couldn’t provide his ex with a romantic honeymoon.
Just not for the two of them.
According to a story in this week’s Life & Style Weekly, the hunk offered up the use of his Lake Como villa to a honeymooning Larson pal, and kept his word even after the breakup.
Classy.
But while we're on the subject, what about the breakup?
“It’s been hard,” says Larson friend Andrea Tiede. “All breakups are hard. She was swept up. They just had a few small fights and disagreements, and it all unraveled from there.”
Lopez and Smirnoff Done Dancing
A month ago it was "all good" between Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff.
Today, not so much.
The Dancing With the Stars on- and offscreen duo has officially uncoupled.
“Karina has parted ways with her two-year relationship with Mario Lopez," Smirnoff's publicist, Melissa Berger, tells E! News. "The relationship wasn’t heading in the right direction."
Lopez issued his own gracious parting statement.
"Karina and I have the utmost respect for each other," he said. "She is a phenomenal and talented woman. I support her always and feel blessed to have her in my life."
