Martha Stewart Pushes Away Drew Barrymore During Touchy Interview newsthirst.

Martha Stewart is clearly not a fan of Drew Barrymore‘s touchy-feely interview style … pushing away the talk show host during their awkward sit-down.

Check it out … Drew sits awfully close to the lifestyle guru and asks Martha if anything makes her feel “soft and gooey” … leaving MS a little perplexed by the question. As Martha thinks about her answer, Drew suggestively touches her mouth, prompting her guest to respond, “soft and gooey … treatment. It’s nice.”

The encounter on Tuesday’s show gets a bit more uncomfortable, however … watch the video, as Drew ends up stroking Martha’s arm in an attempt to get her guest to open up more.

The gesture doesn’t work, though … with a nod toward the audience, Martha pushes Drew away and tells the actress she’s “the wrong gender” — making it clear her charms are lost on her, though they both share a laugh.

This isn’t the first time Drew has gotten a little too close for comfort with guests. Back in December, Drew faced backlash for getting too touchy with Oprah Winfrey … awkwardly caressing the talk show legend’s hands during the interview.

Though, Oprah later defended Drew to TMZ … calling the “Scream” star “endearing” at the time.

Still, as fans began to keep a closer eye on her interviews moving forward, Drew vowed in August to try and put a little distance between herself and her guests.
