Shrek

0 Comments

Diaz portrays the princess daughter of a king and queen of a mythical land, Fiona, in this animated film about an ogre who must rescue Fiona and bring her to a powerful lord in order to have his beloved swamp home once more.

Fiona is a nurturer, and she loves to have the people she cherishes the most, closest to her. And that’s the most important thing to her…is family and friends. I realize that I have that very much in common with her and those are the most important things to me as well.

Charlie’s Angels

0 Comments

Diaz plays Natalie in Charlie’s Angel who takes pride in kicking butt while wearing stiletto heels, skimpy outfits and even bikinis. The angels are sent into action when  Eric Knox is kidnapped. They soon learn even bigger danger is afoot — the kidnappers have gotten their hands on Knox’s latest invention, a system that can monitor voice communication from anywhere in the world, virtually ending the notion of private conversation. Co-starring Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore.

These girls, my family, my mom and my sister, and every woman who has ever influenced me in my life. And definitely I have to say there are angels all around us.

What Happens In Vegas

Ashton Kutcher0 Comments

Kutcher plays Jack Fuller in this movie about two strangers who discover they’ve gotten married in Las Vegas one night. But when Jack wins three million dollars with the quarter Joy gives him they want to separate and split the money but court forces the two to live together for six months to try and make their marriage work. While living together, each one has their friends make the other one look bad. Co-stars Cameron Diaz and Lake Bell. On working with Diaz:

Horrible. I mean, to show up to work and have to look at a good looking woman who’s funny and happy to be alive and joyous and nice to people, that’s a nightmare. We had to deal with it every single day. You know, I don’t think that there’s anybody like her. I think she’s maybe the only, I would say, true comedic leading lady in our business right now, that has really honed that craft. And she’s worked with Jim Carrey, she’s worked with Adam Sandler, she’s worked with Mike Myers. She’s worked with every great comedic actor I can think of, so she’s got a one up on all of us.

Hollywood Walk of Fame

Hollywood Walk of FameWalk of Fame0 Comments

Diaz is presented with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in the category of Motion Pictures. Friends Nick Cassavetes, Robin, Antin, Tom Cruise, and Cameron Crowe attend the event in support of Diaz.

It was what has given me the strength and courage to live this extraordinary life and it is what powers the light that burns inside of me, bright enough for me to be honored today with this star on the Walk of Fame. It will be cool to be under people’s feet. It really is the place where people can understand exactly that actors are not really stars – they don’t exist in the sky, they exist on the ground just like everybody else.

cameron_diaz1_LDiaz appears on the cover of the June 2011 issue of Maxim magazine. She talks about girl crushes, dry humping and floss.

Well, you have to have the right clothing—you don’t want anything rough that causes chafing. And there has to be a lot of contact. It’s a full-body sport, like a wrestling match.

Bad Teacher

0 Comments

Diaz plays a ruthless teacher named Elizabeth in Bad Teacher. When she’s dumped by her fiance, she schemes to win over a rich, handsome substitute, played by Justin Timberlake. When Elizabeth finds herself fighting off the advances of a gym teacher, she must face the consequences of her behavior. Co-starring Lucy Punch and Jason Segel.

I think this character is meant to represent good and bad of what is possible in a human being, and I think that’s something that I appreciated the fact that there’s certain things she doesn’t apologize for and there’s certain things she admits that she needs to do better on.

I love their sense of humor and the sense of chivalry and charm. It’s something that is innately a part of the culture — we don’t have that over here. It’s not the same in America.

Gambit

Film Appearance0 Comments

Diaz plays PJ Puznowski, a rodeo star from Texas, in this comedy written by Joel and Ethan Coen and directed by Michael Hoffman. An art curator, played by Colin Firth, is sick of his terrible boss and puts together a plan to get revenge by getting him to buy a fake Monet. PJ is set up to be the owner of the long lost painting. Co-starring Alan Rickman and Stanley Tucci.

Definitely, the Coen universe was very prevalent. We stepped right into it, the story was… the words, the rhythm, the broadness, the farce. All of it was very much their signature. So, it was a lot of fun because you knew you could take those characters and make them broad, make them big.

Food day, It’s a day I cook all the good food for the rest of the week. If you eat the proper food all day long you can have those little bits of what people consider a cheat.

Oprah WinfreyInterview0 Comments

Winfrey interviews Cameron Diaz in her home for Oprah’s Next Chapter and questions Diaz on aging and the anti-aging slogan.

There is no such thing as anti aging. I get so mad now when I hear on TV like anti aging. Well that’s the thing isn’t it. We don’t honor the journey and who we are and how much we have to offer. For me I feel like it’s almost as if we have failed if we don’t remain 25 for the rest of our lives.

Seacrest interviews Diaz during On Air Wit Ryan Seacrest and questions her about working with Taylor Kinney on the film The Other Woman. 

He’s so great. He is, first off, easy on the eyes. And then he’s just about the kindest, sweetest guy ever. I met his mother the other night and I told her how impressed we were by her son and how great of a job she did. He was always the one who would get up for all the girls [and ask] ‘Can I get you anything?’ and he always came back with waters for everybody. He’s such a gentleman.

No children plans

0 Comments

In a new interview, Diaz says children aren’t in her future.

It’s so much more work to have children. To have lives besides your own that you are responsible for – I didn’t take that on. … A baby – that’s all day, every day for 18 years. Not having a baby might really make things easier, but that doesn’t make it an easy decision. I like protecting people, but I was never drawn to being a mother.

Sex Tape

Film Appearance0 Comments

Diaz reunites with Seigel for Sex Tape, directed by Jake Kasdan who helmed their 2011 comedy Bad Teacher.  A married couple with young kids try to inject some spice and mystery into their nonexistent sex life and decide to film their escapade.  Unfortunately their private moments are uploaded onto the web, which spark a series of comical events to retrieve it.  When asked how she felt about bearing her bum:

It’s not an objectification. If I had done it another time, if I was a young girl who was taking off my clothes to be sexy in a movie— that never felt right to me. For me, this is about two people who are in a loving relationship, being playful with one another and showing how much they love each other.

cameronDiaz appears on the November cover of Marie Claire magazine.

I’m not looking for a husband or marriage or not not looking for that stuff. I’m living, and not thinking what I should or shouldn’t be doing with my life. We live in a society where everyone has kids, so they want other people to have kids. There is this culture that says celebrities are supposed to be just like us, so people think, ‘I have children, why doesn’t she?’ But I’m not going to do something because it’s expected. If a family happens, then it happens. If children come to me, then I would do that, but I’m not someone who feels like she has to do something because it’s expected.

On Air interview

On Air With Ryan SeacrestRyan SeacrestInterview0 Comments

Diaz gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the film Annie.

It’s kind of like a brand new film. There’s new characters, it takes place in the modern age, the modern day. The generation of kids who are going to see this Annie without having seen the original, this is going to be their Annie. This is what they’re going to know, this is the cast that they’re going to know. And because the cast is so diverse, I think they’ll be able to see themselves in it. More diverse groups of kids will be able to see themselves in it, which I’m really proud of.

Everyone thinks it’s wild but is so happy for them. Benji tends to fall in love easily, but this time it’s for real and he landed a great girl. They obviously both make each other incredibly happy, and there’s nothing better than that.

Annie

0 Comments

Diaz plays Miss Hannigan, a bitter caretaker of foster children, in this musical directed by Will Gluck. Miss Hannigan, jealous of Annie’s good fortune, conspires with Will Stacks’ adviser to defraud him of a large amount of money by producing Annie’s parents, who are actually imposters. C0-starring Jamie Foxx, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, and Quvenzhané Wallis.

I feel so blessed to get to tell stories and help people relate to themselves and to other people, so I’m always tickled when I’m a part of something that people actually can relate to. And musicals are just fun.
