Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin grace
the March, 2009, issue of Marie Claire magazine. The three actresses -- who became friends of the set of He's Just Not that Into You dish about life, love and the worst breakup line they ever heard.
Marie Claire: What's the lamest breakup excuse you've ever heard? Drew Barrymore: Definitely the classic: "It's not you, it's me." Ginnifer Goodwim: Oh my gosh, I've dished that out, and I've taken it. Jennifer Aniston: You cover all your bases with that one. DB: I hate getting "It's not you, it's me," because I'm never gonna learn and grow from that. I don't want to live on lies and smoke
and mirrors and horseshit. No way. MC: So you'd really rather have people say something hurtful? JA: Well, in a way — I mean, before it gets to desperation time. Before it gets to "I throw you and the baby and the bathwater out,"
let's see if we can work through that. MC: You know what? I'd rather be lied to. JA: Oh, I disagree. I want the truth, because it eventually comes out anyway, and then everybody looks like an asshole. MC: What's the first thing you do after a breakup? DB: Head straight for the carbs. Macaroni and cheese. Kraft. Deluxe. The kind with the cheese you squeeze out of a bag that takes at
least a month to pass through your body. JA: I don't eat a lot. I go straight to my girlfriends, though. GG: The first thing I do is call my little sister. She drops everything. DB: She parachutes in? GG: Yes! I'll call and say, "I'm breaking up right now, come get me." She absolutely has picked me up from hookups, with coffee
in hand. [At press time, Goodwin had just broken up with actor Chris Klein.] JA: Girlfriends — nothing like 'em, man. DB: Whether you're throwing up or breaking up, you want your girlfriend right there! I don't trust women who don't go to their
girlfriends. [Barrymore split with Justin Long, who stars in HJNTIY, in July, and has been spotted more recently with Forgetting
Sarah Marshall's Jason Segel.]

MC: Do you think it's just not in men's nature to be monogamous? DB: It's a big question mark. I'm not the swami here; I don't have the answers. GG: But there are some animals that are monogamous! JA: Yeah, some owls.... GG: Lobsters. DB: Adélie penguins.
The rest of the interview is just as funny: clearly, they're having a great time. The reporter said she felt a bit like "Sally McDork, president of the Model U.N. club, who's mistakenly been invited to the cheerleaders reunion," but she joins in the fun, as well. He's Just Not That Into Youwon
the box office this weekend: it made $27,465,000. Clearly, viewers were very much into this film, which we can't wait to see.
