After breaking off their romantic relationship last July and then suddenly spending a lot of time together more recently, ex-flames Drew Barrymore and Justin Long attended the premiere of her HBO movie Grey Gardens at the Pierre Hotel in NYC last night. While People magazine hints at a romantic reunion for the ex-lovers, Drew tells Extra! that the couple are “just friends” that are spending a lot of time together because they will be working together in a new film this Summer. HMMMM. Here’s a cute pic of the happy couple last night and the opposing viewpoints of their togetherness:

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are not shy with their admiration for one another. “I adore him,” Barrymore, who wore a retro flesh-tone Alberta Feretti gown to the premiere of her HBO movie Grey Gardens, said of Long. “And I thank God that my friend supports me the way he does.” The off-again, on-again pair were affectionate the night of the premiere Tuesday. During the screening, she leaned over her seat to give him a quick smooch. At the movie’s after-party at the Pierre hotel, Long, 30, and Barrymore, 34, posed for photos together. Later inside the hotel, she dragged Long into the dining room while holding his hand and gave him a long embrace, whispering into his ear. Michael Suscy, who directed Grey Gardens, told PEOPLE that during the filming of the movie Barrymore “would correspond with [Justin], but only by writing letters on a typewriter – no modern technology, only technology that her character, Little Edie would have had.” Barrymore … said the old-fashioned letters, which she wrote on an avocado green IBM Selectric typewriter, helped her work through her jitters about the part. “Thank God for him because he was my wonderful outlet, my dear friend throughout the process … I had to understand what isolation was really like.” As for the subject of the letters, “They were about my fears of not being able to pull this character off, this icon, about learning a level of discipline … about facing your fears,” she said. According to Long, Barrymore had nothing to worry about. “I’m so proud and stunned. It’s unbelievable. She lost herself completely. It’s an amazing, beautiful, transformative performance. She’s one of the greats.”

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, sure sounds romantic to me. I mean, yes, ex-lovers can be friends after a break-up but … I dunno. Anyways, here is what Drew said about the time she has been/will be spending with Justin:

Drew was spotted at the “Grey Gardens” premiere with ex-boyfriend Justin Long on Tuesday night. The actress confirmed the two are back together, but only for the movie! She revealed, “I’m going to do a comedy this summer with my dear friend Justin Long and I can’t wait to just laugh.” Drew continued, “He really is [one of the funniest guys I know]. I wanted to do it because I trust him so much.”

It’s funny how friendship can lead back to love, especially in situations where people have to work together. Even if the couple aren’t aware that they might be falling back in love, that’s exactly what could be happening. I have no doubt that Justin is still in love with Drew. I’d bet money on it. Here’s hoping that, one day, Drew and Justin can re-forge the love that they shared just last year. There is something about this couple that I just love … they make a really cute couple, don’t you think?
