Drew Barrymore showed off her rollerskating skills on late-night TV on Friday (02Oct09) when she attempted to break a record for hitting strangers with cream pies while wheeling around pal Jimmy Fallon's Late Night studio.
Barrymore was promoting her directorial debut, roller derby film Whip It - in which she stars opposite Fallon - when she agreed to the challenge before representatives of the Universal Record Database.
She had 30 seconds to smash pies in faces and managed 14 before tripping and falling on her face. As Fallon came to her rescue, the actress smashed the final pie in his face.
Her efforts were enough to land her a new record, according the the URD officials.
Whip It sees Barrymore movie behind the camera for the very first time, although she does star in the film alongside Ellen Page.
Ellen Page stars as Bliss Cavendar, a young woman who longs to break free of her small-town bonds by joining the rough-and-tumble sport of roller derby in nearby Austin, Texas.
Whip It is released later this year.
