"Does a girl ever get tired of being told she’s pretty? It’s when you’re told ‘You’re much prettier than you look in photos.’ How are you expected to respond? ‘That’s because you saw some sleazebag photo of me loading up my car in my gym clothes?’ Is it a compliment? You look half-human in real life? It’s a weird one.” - Cameron Diaz
(It's true though ... She really doesn't photograph that well. She looks way better up close and personal!)

The orange carpet was all a buzz this past weekend as the stars turned out for Nickelodeon's Annual Kids Choice Awards Saturday night. Miley Cyrus showed up with her peace sign in tow, Rihanna and Chris Brown once again denied that they are actually a couple and Cameron Diaz fit right in with the young crowd. Hosted by Jack Black and his many a green outfit, the most coveted prize of the night, the honor of getting slimed, went to Indiana Jones himself, Harrison Ford, as well as Pirates star Orlando Bloom.
The Oscars have come and gone, but the looks seen on the red carpet are still being talked about. From Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus to Heidi Klum's charitable statement, the big color of the night was red and the hair was all about the bold side part, swept up and left down.

Turns out Cameron Diaz's new guy, magician Criss Angel, is married. Angel's "secret" Long Island wife, Joanne Sarantakos, claims their marriage broke down as soon as he got famous and hooked up with the Shrek star. A lawyer for Sarantakos says he intends to subpoena Diaz to testify in state Supreme Court about her romance with the Vegas magician in support of his client's divorce petition on the grounds of mental cruelty and abandonment. Angel - whose real name is Chris Sarantakos - reportedly kept his five-year marriage (and 15-year relationship) a secret to raise his sex appeal to female fans. "We're naming Cameron Diaz as his lover," Sarantakos's lawyer told the court yesterday, adding that he'd had Angel followed by a private investigator for six months. "We will subpoena her as soon as she comes back to New York." He also revealed that Angel hasn't given his wife a penny of the $7 million he made last year. "He's not paying her support, which is tragic - considering his worth." Angel himself was in court, and his lawyer did not deny the allegations of adultery. The magician flashed a peace sign, but did not make any comments. According to the Mindfreak star's in-laws, "When his career took a jump forward, he became a different person. He's in love with himself. He's a narcissist. My daughter was never acknowledged as his wife. He told her it was a better single image, than a married image." Sarantakos's brother agreed, saying, "It's almost as if he played the Mindfreak game on her. He was controlling her. He's basically living in a TV persona. Chris Sarantakos is dead - Criss Angel has taken over. He killed off his old self and morphed into his new self - it's scary, really." This guy seemed like a loser from the start. What is Diaz thinking?
It seems the rumored romance between Cameron Diaz and Criss Angel is official - the magician gave Diaz a shoutout before embarking on a daredevil stunt in Times Square. "This is dedicated to my new girl. You know who you are," Angel said minutes before being enclosed in a clear box wrapped in cement. "I'll be thinking of you." After he completed the stunt, Angel told the crowd, "I'd like to dedicate this escape to my girl 'Trouble,' AKA Cameron. I love you baby. Have a safe trip to Europe for your Shrek tour." The whole thing's a little ridiculous, really, considering the pair have only been "dating" a matter of weeks. Seems a little convenient given the sudden press Angel has received as a result of Diaz.
Reps for Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel are reportedly working hard to prevent the two Justin Timberlake amours from bumping into each other at the MTV Movie Awards on June 3. "Everyone is determined to keep Cam and Jess apart," says an insider. "It's becoming a big deal because both girls want very separate arrival times. Nobody knows who Cameron is going to bring, if anyone. But if Jessica walks with Justin, Cameron will want to bring a date. If Jessica goes alone, Cam will probably walk alone. It's a mess." Diaz allegedly "blew up" at Biel at a Golden Globes afterparty in January when she spotted the Illusionist actress flirting with her recent ex, and the MTV awards this Sunday marks the first time the three will be in the same room since the incident. "Cam is used to being more high-profile than Jessica," says the insider. "But now that Jessica's dating Justin, she has more leverage. Cameron's looking a little unstable lately." Timberlake is nominated for best breakthrough performance for Alpha Dog, and Diaz is nominated in the best-kiss category with Jude Law in The Holiday. Biel is presenting, but not in Diaz's category! Reps for all three stars have not commented.
Things are still heating up between Cameron Diaz and magician Criss Angel. The Shrek star touched down in Vegas on Friday afternoon and had dinner with Angel at the Social House. According to a witness, the two started the meal sitting across from each other but ended up next to each other by the end of it. After dinner, Diaz and Angel canoodled in the VIP area of PURE nightclub, then later turned up at the Hard Rock Hotel's Body English.

Cameron Diaz went out on a date last night - with Mindfreak magician Criss Angel. The pair stepped out in Vegas for a dinner at the Bellagio's Prime Steakhouse before taking in a performance of Cirque du Soleil's LOVE. "They were snuggling with each other and he was making her laugh. They seemed really happy," says a witness, who says the pair walked arm-in-arm through the theater's main entrance. celebrity nation's take?? Ewww!!!!! I guess after Justin Timberlake, there's nowhere to go but down. Plus doesn't it seem a little convenient that this guy has a new show to promote?
Poor Cameron Diaz. The leggy blond told movies.com that her last few years have been "hell" and "so hard," and describes the prejudice that exists against pretty people.
On the past few years: "The last couple of years were hell. Like, I can't even tell you, it was so hard. I didn't know how to handle it. But I think I'm in a much better place now, because I stepped away for a second and took a breath. Hollywood is a funny place. It offers so much, but it can also take a lot away from you."
On pretty prejudice: "If a woman who's a successful actress weighs 300 pounds and has warts, nobody ever asks her, 'Do you think you made it because you're ugly?' So why should there be prejudice against someone who's had some success in films and looks a little better than average. It's all in my genes, so don't hold it against me."
On surfing in Hawaii: "I was just there doing a lot of surfing. I love it. It's definitely a spiritual experience, the closest you can get to Mother Nature, which is God to me. You get to ride all this energy that's traveled across the ocean for thousands of miles, and you get to usher this distant traveler to its destination on the shore."
Cameron Diaz was disturbed by the paparazzi on a recent shopping excursion in NYC. The Holiday actress ran out of SoHo hotspot Lounge when a group of photogs snuck in the back door. "She was enjoying a peaceful day of shopping for some new summer dresses, jewelry and shoes when they surrounded her," said a spy. "Cameron totally freaked out, screamed and dropped the items she was going to buy and was chased through the store. She was running full speed."
Justin Timberlake is still a gentleman when it comes to ex Cameron Diaz. "It's hard for me to talk about because we're talking about a person that I love and respect," Timberlake told British GQ about his former girlfriend of nearly four years. "If I hear anyone say anything bad about Cameron then I'll have something to say to them." Of his other famous ex-girlfriend, Britney Spears, the SexyBack singer says, "Honestly, I am so far removed from that situation." And his best buddy backs him up. "She just isn't part of his life," says Trace Ayala. And of rumors that he had sent a message to Spears while she was in rehab, Timberlake says he "didn't know anything," adding, "A coded message to Britney?" in disbelief.
Cameron Diaz seems to be enjoying the single life since her split from Justin Timberlake in January. The Holiday actress has been linked with surfer Kelly Slater, Oscar-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou and was spotted this weekend making out with 2 Fast 2 Furious star Tyrese Gibson. Diaz and Gibson reportedly hooked up at the LA club Xenii in front of fellow celebrity clubgoers Ashlee Simpson and Meagan Good. "They made out right on the dance floor," an insider told the New York Daily News. Diaz and Gibson also arrived and left together at a pre-Oscar party, although Diaz's rep denies that the two are dating.
Cameron Diaz and Blood Diamond actor Djimon Hounsou reportedly hit it off when the pair ran into each other at Hollywood hotspot Hyde on Thursday night. "It looked like the perfect post-Valentine's Day date," said a witness. "They were totally vibing each other, lip-on-lip action. Cameron looked so happy. Djimon followed her every move... They were dancing really close, bodies pressed together." Diaz's rep insists her client and the Oscar-nominated actor are nothing more than friends. "Cameron was out to dinner with friends, they ran into Djimon and he joined them for a drink at Hyde," says the rep. "They are friends, nothing more."
Cameron Diaz has settled a lawsuit against the National Enquirer for a "substantial" amount of damages. In 2005, the tabloid alleged Diaz had had an affair with a married MTV producer while involved with then-beau Justin Timberlake. Photos of the actress in an alleged "smooching session" with Trippin' producer Shane Nickerson accompanied the story, which was posted on the Enquirer's website but removed after Diaz complained. "The National Enquirer now accepts that the photographs do not show Ms. Diaz and Mr. Nickerson kissing or in a passionate clinch, accepts that the relevant incident involved no more than Ms. Diaz giving a friend a goodbye hug and that any suggestion of a romantic involvement is entirely untrue and without substance," said the actress's lawyer. The Enquirer has "apologized unreservedly" for any distress caused to those involved.
Al Gore announced a massive series of concerts to draw attention to the threat of climate change. The 24-hour worldwide Live Earth event will take place on July 7, and is part of the Save Our Selves campaign. Gore drew on star power to help make the announcement, with Cameron Diaz and producer Pharrell Williams on hand at the press conference. "I've been driving a Prius since they came out," Diaz said. "I carbon neutralize when I travel... I recycle. If we can get people to change one aspect of their lives, even do one thing, that's a step closer." Performers expected to take part include Lenny Kravitz, the Foo Fighters, Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, Duran Duran, the Black Eyed Peas, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Concerts will take place in Shanghai, Johannesburg, Sydney, London, and cities yet to be announced in Japan, Brazil and the U.S. Proceeds from the event will go to the creation of a foundation to fight against climate change led by The Alliance for Climate Protection, which is chaired by former vice president Gore. "In order to solve the climate crisis, we have to reach billions of people," Gore said in a statement about the event. "The climate crisis will only be stopped by an unprecedented and sustained global movement."
Rumors of a rebound relationship between Cameron Diaz and surfer Kelly Slater have been put to rest after Slater showed up at a golf and fashion party in California last weekend with a Brazilian model on his arm. "They were definitely a couple at the event," said one party guest. "Kelly wouldn't identify his new girl, but we all knew she was extremely special to him... Cameron quickly became a thing of the past." Stories of a hookup with Diaz were widespread after the Holiday actress spent a few weeks with Slater in Hawaii shortly after her split from Justin Timberlake.
Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake reportedly had a heated run-in at a Golden Globes afterparty on Monday night. Diaz is said to have flown into a jealous rage when she spotted Timberlake chatting with Jessica Biel. The Illusionist actress stepped away while Diaz and Timerlake had a forty minute argument, after which Timberlake "slammed his fist into a cabinet," according to a witness. "If that's how she wants to get him back, it won't work," said an insider. "She's desperate." Meanwhile, the SexyBack singer is allegedly seeing Scarlett Johansson after Timberlake hand-picked the Scoop actress to star in his What Goes Around video. "They're just having fun," says a friend of the potential couple.
Signs of the split between Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz have been appearing for weeks, according to reports. The former couple hadn't been seen together since December 16, when they were spotted at the party for Timberlake's SNL hosting gig. Timberlake then spent Christmas with his family in Tennessee, while Diaz spent the holidays in Vail. "He called me around Christmas to say they had broken up," said a friend of the SexyBack singer. "I don't think she's so much into the scene like he is. He's really young and he likes to go out. [He] hasn't been into her for a while." At the opening show of Timberlake's new tour on Monday night, the singer told the crowd, "Sometimes love isn't so easy."
