Finally, this week - good celebrity gossip news, Cameron Diaz was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This is one of the greatest achievements a celebrity can receive.
Cameron was extremely excited about the award. The 36 year old star gushed, "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’s career began at the age of 21 when she starred in Jim Carrey's hit comedy 'The Mask' – a role she won without previous acting experience after a referral by her modelling agent. Hollywood hits followed with films including 'There's Something About Mary', 'My Best Friend's Wedding', 'Gangs of New York' and 'Shrek'.
Her looks got her to Hollywood but her comedic abilities and her down to earth sensibility have won her both male and female fans. She has a self deprecating sense of humour and isn’t obsessed with her looks like other female Hollywood stars. On the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, she drank a bottle of coke and followed that with a burp. That clip has been played repeatedly and she knew it and she didn’t seem to mind.
An avid surfer, she has broken her nose four times and doesn’t mind talking about her plastic surgery to fix her nose.
Her latest role in ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ is not a comedy role for Cameron. She plays a mother coping with her eldest daughter’s cancer. In an attempt to save her daughter, she and her husband have another child in order to provide bone marrow and other bodily parts for the dying daughter. Cameron could relate to the depression of the mother whom she played. She also felt this way when her father was sick and died last year.
"Family is so important," she said. "What drew all of us to this story was the family, and the stories of each of these characters. I think we all related to the fact that there isn't anything that you wouldn't give someone that you love that deeply.
"You do whatever it takes to keep that person alive. I think that that's something that spoke to most of us, for this film, and what I think is so effective, in the film. I think the most important thing that I've found in my life is just my family and friends."
