PS Cameron Diaz - I Love You

Cameron Diaz

Let me clarify my love of Ms. Diaz, she is one of my favorite comedic actresses ever!

I will never forget when I first saw her in The Mask with Jim Carrey, I was on Jury Duty and was seated in the waiting area and they had the video on for our amusement, she was the highlight of the film, at least for me.

I continued to follow her career post that, she was also the highlight of the Julia Roberts starer My Best Friend's Wedding, sorry Julia your character was such a mid section with a capital C word that, really, who the Hell would marry your selfish ass?! Cameron's character was by far the more charming of the two of you.

Of course there is the classic There's Something About Mary and a personal favorite the critically vilified The Sweetest Thing with Christina Applegate and Selma Blair. Who could not love the dick song?!!!!!!

Well Cameron has a new one coming out, Sex Tape on July 18th with the equally funny Jason Segel. I can't wait for these two to pair again as they were so amaze balls together in another fave of mine Bad Teacher.

Ms. Diaz is 41 and and loves it! I agree 100% on this one, the 40's are the best! Here is what she has to say about it: 

"I love it," Diaz says  "So much s– just falls away. Fear, mostly. It's the best age. That's when a woman knows how to work things, or she doesn’t care about that anymore. You just stop being afraid. You don't worry about what men think. You just don't worry that time registers anything awful." - she recently told Esquire Magazine 

Of note, she strips down in Sex Tape, marking the first time she's been completely nude on screen. 

"It's a first for me. But Jason Segel, (who co-stars) gets naked, too. It's just part of the role. So I did it. I mean, you see everything." 

You Go Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl!

Forty is awesome with Cameron Diaz at:

Reel Life: The Muppets

"It's time to play the music...It's time to light the lights...It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight..."

Sound Familiar? Well if it does you are no doubt one of those people, like me, who grew up with "The Muppet Show."

Well last night, I trekked to The Grove in Los Angeles (luckily we can walk there from my friends place, the parking is more "Nightmare on Elm Street" than the smile on my face The Muppets bring) ... and got my Muppet freak on..!

I L-O-V-E-D this movie and since I am not in the habbit of giving reviews (leave that to others I say) as a fan it was great and a return to form for our band of the hand.

From the deliberately corny musical numbers, wink and nudge sense of humor, the movie is so much fun I forgot all my troubles and got happy....Hey those slick Muppets even went Meta on the audience at points in the film, a term I was just introduced to last night, it means breaking the 4th wall and addressing the audience (in my day as a drama student, we just called it breaking the 4th wall).

Most importantly "The Muppets" has heart and that is something sorely lacking in most movies today.

Also I would love to give a special shout out to Amy Adams and Jason Segel - two of the best comedic actors working, and an extra nod to Jason for the clever script and concept that brought The Muppets of my childhood back to me at a time when I needed to feel warm and felty.

So ditch that awful "Twilight" series and saunter to a theatre and see "The Muppets" - you owe it to yourself to smile!
