Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore is to dish out tips on food, travel and fashion as a writer for a women's lifestyle website.

The Charlie's Angels star has been hired to work as editor-at-large for Refinery29.com and her new role will include contributing stories and acting as an editorial adviser.

Editor-in-chief Christene Barberich says of Barrymore's appointment, "Because she's always out there in the world searching for inspiration as it relates to how real modern women want to look and feel, we're excited for her to share her point of view and ideas with the R29 reader, and allow us to connect with Drew in a whole new way."

Barrymore's first assignment is an article about making the perfect breakfast sandwich.
