It’s only been a month or two since the couple were slobbering all over each other (adorably of course) on the Oprah show as Drew showed off her charitable nature, one of the many qualities Justin purported to find so attractive about her.

After watching these two beautiful people frolic on the beach all shiny and happy, stroll hand in hand at glam events, and in general make the world’s eyes bleed with their cuteness, we were among the first to go on record as saying Drew and Justin would be the next celebrity twosome to walk down the aisle.

Well, it appears we were wrong. Drew’s representative confirmed the split to Us Magazine yesterday, although really, how can you say “confirmed” when there was nary a rumor of troubled water to be found for these two? This caught us way out of left field, excuse us while we try to regroup.

No reasons have yet been given for the split, and it’s really too soon to chalk it up to Barrymore’s reputation for running hot and cold in relationships. Maybe it was Justin who incited the split, after standing too close for too long to what he refers to as Drew’s “beauty and light.” An Icarus lesson, so to speak.

Our theory, however, is this:

You know in horror films when you see a happy couple sashaying merrily through life, dabbing frosting on each other’s faces and playfully licking it off, tossing snowballs lightly at each other in the winter time and pretending to be mad, or engaging in some other sweet activity that simultaneously makes you want to yack and be them at the same time? Well you know what happens to those couples.

We figure it was the same thing with Drew and Justin. They were just too cute and too publicly adoring of each other to make it for the long run. You knew where it was going – let’s just be thankful it was only a breakup, and they didn’t get chopped to bits by a sociopathic axe murderer.

No matter the reason, it’s still sad to see such a cute Hollywood couple bite the dust. We’re going to need a minute before jumping back on the celebrity love bandwagon. Excuse us while we go dab our eyes with a tissue and start praying for a reconciliation.

Hey, they’re still friends, right? It could happen…sniff.
