Drew Barrymore thinks Howard Stern is a bully and doesn't plan on hanging out on his side of the playground.

The radio DJ made fun of Drew during Paul McCartney's benefit concert for New York last week, zap2it.com reports.

While urging celebrities to return to New York, Stern singled out Drew, who made a public display of her emotions during the anthrax incidents at the NBC building while she was rehearsing for "Saturday Night Live" and when she first heard that the U.S. had begun attacks on Afghanistan.

"Come back to New York," Stern said. "Don't run. Don't hide. People like Drew Barrymore. Don't be afraid, honey. It ain't scary here. I mean, it can't be any worse than spending the night with Tom Green alone."

During an interview with ABC, Drew explained that she did stay in New York and continued to rehearse in the NBC building.

"I just didn't understand the foundation for it, because I did go," she said. "I just stayed and did it and then, when it was time to go home and it was done, I went home."

Drew, whose latest flick "Riding In Cars With Boys" is now in theatres, went on to say that Stern is "mean" and that she doesn't "even go to the mean kids' area in the playground".

Drew Barrymore is using both e-mail and her image as a means to attract movie-goers to her new film, "Riding In Cars With Boys".

The e-mails are posted on the official site for "Riding In Cars With Boys", which opens on Oct. 19.

Drew writes about her friendship with the book's author, Beverly Donofrio, whom she plays in the movie, as well as about her own difficult relationship with her parents and Beverly's desire to leave home.

"We both had a lot of trepidation on how close we should get, or how not close," writes Drew about her relationship with Beverly, "but when we started hanging out, we realized we really liked each other. We had such a good time together. Because of her honesty and openness, which I really believe in, I am able to have conversations with her that are different than I'm able to have with a lot of people in life."

One of the most interesting and revealing e-mails is the one in which Drew describes her often troublesome relationship with her mother, and how that some times mirrored Beverly's interaction with her father.

"I know what it's like to push your parent and know when you're pushing them," she writes. "I don't think that my mom wanted me to be out of control and partying and wanting to do my own thing at eleven years old and telling her that she couldn't tell me what to do because I was living my own life and making my own money."

"Riding In Cars With Boys" also stars Sara Gilbert, Steve Zahn, Brittany Murphy, Lorraine Bracco, and James Woods.
