Sassy sweetheart
Drew Barrymore, star and producer of the two "Charlie's Angels" movies, was the victim of a hit-and-run collision on a West Hollywood street Monday morning.

Long enough to get a license plate, a spokesman at her production company, Flower Films, confirmed.
"It's true, but we're not commenting further," the spokesman said, responding to an initial report of the accident on the celebrity gossip site TMZ.com.
He said
Barrymore, 33, was not injured.
"We have [a license plate] and we're trying to identify the driver. If we do, we'll give it to the district attorney's office," said Sgt. Kristin Aloma of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Barrymore, who will appear in the upcoming film "He's Just Not That Into You" alongside her boyfriend,
