Cameron Diaz - Hollywood royalty

Still full throttle. Absolutely no complaints
Cameron Diaz
I’ve pretty much behaved like a knucklehead my entire life. It was probably more adorable when I was a child… as an adult I’m sure it’s less attractive.

In the Farrelly Brothers’ wondrous 1998 comedy There’s Something About Mary, everyone falls for Cameron Diaz’s character, even if she does use Ben Stiller’s man-paste as hair gel. She’s just that special, a mesmerising blend of playful, ditzy, awkward and really, really sexy, the kind of girl who looks as good in jeans and T-shirt as she does in a little black dress.

The former fashion model pulled ’80s heart-throb Matt Dillon, shacked up with ice-cool Justin Timberlake, looked hot in What Happens in Vegas and even managed to make us go “Eww!” when she did “dowdy” in Being John Malkovic. No matter. We love her anyway, and the fact that she earns $50m a year and could buy us a house with her pocket change only adds to the appeal.
