Hitmaker: Cameron Diaz
Posted on June 27th, 2009
Here’s a brand new – awesome – Q&A/interview with Cameron Diaz by the Hollywood Reporter. She talks about My Sister’s Keeper, future projects and more. Check it out below!
Since her first film role in 1994’s “The Mask” opposite Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz has been become one of Hollywood’s most successful leading ladies, entertaining audiences in such quirky comedies as 1997’s “My Best Friend’s Wedding” and 1998’s “There’s Something About Mary” and earning street cred in such dramas as 2001’s “Vanilla Sky” and 2002’s “Gangs of New York.” In 2003, Diaz struck salary gold, becoming the third Hollywood actress after Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon to receive a $20 million paycheck — for “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.”
Her latest film, the New Line drama “My Sister’s Keeper,” teams her with Jason Patric, Abigail Breslin and Alec Baldwin in a different kind of role: Portraying a mom who goes to extreme measures to keep her leukemia-stricken daughter alive. Diaz may soon be reunited with Tom Cruise, her “Vanilla Sky” co-star, in James Mangold’s action film “The Wichita Project”; and she’s attached to the Zach Braff-directed comedy “Swingles,” currently in development. Just before receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the native San Diegan spoke with The Hollywood Reporter’s Noela Hueso.

Cameron’s motherhood role is a big-screen Keeper
Posted on June 25th, 2009
Here’s a new, very interesting, interview with Cameron Diaz, Sofia Vassilieva and Abigail Breslin, courtesy of USA Today. They talk about My Sister’s Keeper, Cameron playing a mother and more. Read it below. Enjoy!
Cameron Diaz is having a mommy moment.
The notoriously private actress finds herself the first to arrive for a joint interview to promote her new film, My Sister’s Keeper. And co-star Sofia Vassilieva is nowhere to be found.
After 20 minutes, Diaz stops the interview to call Vassilieva.
“Honey, I’m just checking on you,” Diaz says, straining for patience. “I was worried about you. Are you almost here?”
She has no immediate plans on being a mother, but Diaz is getting the knack of playing one.

Cassavetes and Diaz on My Sister’s Keeper
Posted on June 21st, 2009
Cameron Diaz and My Sister’s Keeper director Nick Cassavetes are featured in a new – very interesting – article on the LATimes.com. Be sure to read it below, and check out the photo that went with the article to the right (click on it to view the picture in full size in the gallery)!
Real men do shed tears.
That’s the conclusion one gets from sitting down with Nick Cassavetes, the 6-foot-6-inch, square-jawed, mustachioed, multi-tattooed film director who was so wild and belligerent as a kid that his mother — actress Gena Rowlands — gave him a suitcase for his 16th birthday so he could pack up and move out. Now, a couple of lifetimes later, he’s made the film “My Sister’s Keeper,” a movie that requires even more Kleenex than his last hit tear-jerker, 2004’s “The Notebook.”
“As a society, we are trained not to feel things. We respect things that are scientific and cerebral and smart, and this ain’t one,” Cassavetes says over water and tea at the Chateau Marmont. His friend, the film’s star, Cameron Diaz, sits across from him, all long legs and scarves and jeans and jewelry.
Throughout the afternoon, the 50-year-old Cassavetes can’t stop showering Diaz with loud, brash adulation, while she looks at him with the fondness one reserves for a beloved papa bear. Diaz focuses on him intently with those limpid eyes, as green-blue as a bay in the Bahamas, and unconsciously twirls her uncoiffed blond hair with a finger.

Cameron cooked for My Sister’s Keeper co-stars
Posted on June 14th, 2009
Here’s a fun article about how Cameron cooked for My Sister’s Keeper co-stars Abigail Breslin and Sofia Vassilieva. Doesn’t Cami seem to be so much fun to be around?
Cameron Diaz showed off her culinary skills on the set of new movie My Sister’s Keeper by cooking up daily treats for her young co-stars. Sofia Vassilieva and Abigail Breslin played her daughters in the harrowing new film and Diaz felt the need to play set mum to them in her trailer, which she turned into a dining spot.
Breslin explains, “Cameron would cook in her trailer a lot for us. She made excellent chili cheese fries with guacamole.” And Diaz wasn’t about to make sure the girls ate healthy food: “Each one of them got to pick what they wanted to eat for lunch.”
But the treats weren’t all fun for Vassilieva, who plays a cancer sufferer in the film. Diaz says, “Sofia was on a special diet for the whole movie and her discipline was amazing. I kept trying to make her eat things she wasn’t supposed to.”

Candid Cameron Diaz interview
Posted on June 12th, 2009
The Independent has published a very interesting new interview where Cameron Diaz talks about My Sister’s Keeper, children, marriage and more. Check it out below!
Pressed into promotional duties for her latest film, My Sister’s Keeper – in which she plays a wife and mother of three kids, including a terminally ill child – Cameron Diaz can see the inevitable questions a mile off.
As yet unwed, and childless, the 36-year-old actress smiles, turns those bright cornflower-blue eyes up to full wattage, and prepares for battle. “I think it’s only normal for people to ask my views on motherhood, especially of someone my age, because it seems like the obvious thing, like ‘Why haven’t you done it yet?’ But it doesn’t bother me. It’s not the cross I bear. I simply have no idea at this stage in my life. Besides, I’m still young,” she says.
“I have one nephew and four nieces, I’ve seen three births, two vaginal, one C-section… I’ve been there for the dirty diapers, I’ve done the bottles… I know what it takes to do it. I think that I have a good sense of what it takes to be a mother and, although I’m not mother, I feel that it’s the closest I can get.
“I also understand about loving very deeply and knowing that I would do anything just to save somebody that I love. No, I’m not the mother of a sick child but I can imagine those feelings.

Cameron on the cover of Cosmopolitan UK!
Posted on June 11th, 2009
Great news, y’all! Cameron Diaz is featured on yet another cover, this time for Cosmopolitan UK! She looks great (if a bit too photoshopped) and very Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle-esque as she poses for the cover (seen to the right). People.com has some interesting tidbits from the interview to share. Continue reading for those. And don’t forget to keep checking back to Cameron-Diaz.org for scans from the magazine!
“I never say never. I don’t know what’s going to happen,” the single star, 36, tells Cosmopolitan’s U.K. edition. “I could end up adopting half a dozen kids, or I could end up being the next ‘octomum’ – who fricking knows!”
But she says society expects women to procreate. “I think women are afraid to say that they don’t want children because they’re going to get shunned,” she tells the magazine in its July issue. “But I think that’s changing too now. I have more girlfriends who don’t have kids than those that do. And honestly? We don’t need any more kids. We have plenty of people on this planet.”

Co-stars helped Cameron to cope with father’s death
Posted on June 8th, 2009
Cameron Diaz was in the middle of filming My Sister’s Keeper last year when her father Emilio died suddenly during a bout with pneumonia. The actress credits the cast, crew and director with helping her get through the ordeal – and finish the movie.
“I was really, really fortunate to have these people to come back to,” Diaz told reporters Friday while promoting the film, which costars Abigail Breslin and Sofia Vasssilieva. “Being able to go back to the group of people who were there waiting for me was a blessing, … so that’s really sort of the only way I was able to do it.”
During Diaz’s nearly two-week absence, they shot around her, explained director Nick Cassavetes. “To talk about this subject, you really have to say that people are more important than movies, and we forget that sometimes,” Cassavetes says. “We were all stunned to find out that he had died so suddenly and, apparently, he was a hell of a guy and a gigantic influence on Cameron.”
