Cameron Calls Last Couple Years "Hell"

Apparently, even dating Justin Timberlake isn't enough to keep Cameron Diaz on cloud nine. In a new interview with Jeanne Wolf of movies.com, the Charlie's Angel calls her last couple of years “hell” and “so hard.” (Like, she can’t even tell you.)
Diaz, 34, also goes into the difficulties of overcoming prejudice against pretty people. (Indeed, it is so hard. Like, we can’t even tell you.)
See below for excerpts from the interview in which Cam shares her eco-friendly vision for Shrek 4 and why surfing is a religious experience.
On being in hell:
"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 her trips to 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."
On the secret to being a good ogre wife:
"I felt strongly that I didn't want Fiona to come off as naggy. I hate naggy."
On bringing her eco-conscious views to Shrek:
"For the next Shrek, I'd like to create the ideal kingdom of Far Far Away, where there would be no carbon emissions … work an eco-friendly message into the story. Maybe the swamp could be in danger from an environmental disaster or something."

Another Hollwwood elite living in a dream world. I liked her much better when she was just the stupid blonde..cast for the eye candy, only to open her mouth when saying the lines that have been WRITTEN for her.

Umm, Cameron. Have you looked in a mirror lately? Lots of wrinkles dear. And not to mention- you have an UNBELIEVABLY annoying laugh. Please, get off your high horse. I suppose your bitterness is towards the younger, more elegant choice Justin has made. Ms. Beil is a sight to see. And quite younger than you. Bothers you doesn't it?

This is in response to 3:29, first of all it doesn't matter what i look like, secondly, your comment about fat women is absolutely ridiculous, there are plenty of men out there who love women with a little extra meat and curves. That's the problem with this country today, it's because of shallow people like yourself that young girls vommit to be thin, or people like Ms. Diaz, thinks she's more attractive than the world, when in actuality she's not! I have more friends that look way better than she does, and they are very humble and have good hearts, and don't go around flaunting their beauty to get somewhere in life. Look at Bill Gates, and Donald Trump, they're not exactly what one would consider ultimately attractive, but it was their brains and wit, that has gotten them to where they are today, and don't get me started on Oprah, she's extremely successful, and gives back to the community all of the time, and everyone loves her and gives her praise because of it. Also, I met Ms. Latifah this weekend, and she was absolutely stunning, thank you!

Last couple of years hell my ass, she doesn't know what hell is!!! People without homes, children without food, mis-placed war victims they live in "hell" everyday, do you hear them complaining, no they are thankful for what they have not whining like a little be-atch. As far as beauty, that comes from with-in, shallow people don't have it. She should snap into reality, cause she got nothin..

I remember reading a Movieline interview with Cameron Diaz- this was way back when she was a model making her acting debut in The Mask- and she said something very similar: that it's hard being a pretty actress.

and they say marijuana doesn't do any harm. If Cameron had any brain cells, they have obviously been destroyed. What an idiot. She has an unusual face but is certainly not a classic beauty. Poor baby.

Type Cast Says:
Stunner, I don't know about Scarlett or Jessica Alba, but Jessica BIEL was not making "pity me im pretty" comments. She was commenting on being TYPE CAST which is a very real problem in Hollywood. directors do tell them "youre too sexy" (public image) or youre too classic (old), too girl next door, etc...it CAN keep you from getting a part.
Not comparable to carmens rant, especially cause carmen isnt pretty. She just has a nice body. Her head is huge like a basketball sized-apple.

Is she f*cking serious? The pretty gene? Queen Latifah is way more gorgeous than this broad, and weighs more than her and is in the public eye all the time, not to mention a covergirl, and she thinks she's more attractive than average, have ya'll seen this chick without make-up, I rest my case.

Okay, can everyone please scroll down and read 6:20 adr comments. Is this person for real? Cameron, please hook up with my son.......'He has a great body, tight abs.' What the....?!?!?!?! Like......EEEEEW, she's his MOTHER. Maybe someone should tell her the celebrities don't actually read the site. Or maybe she just wants someone......anyone.....to date her son.

So I guess she's referring to herself as one of the pretty people? Not really. Maybe 10 years ago, and even then, her body was always better than her face. Her skin is really bad too. That's kind of an arrogant assumption for her to make, and plus, let's face it: She's a little past her prime.

11:07 Nikki - I know what you mean. I think her figure is not that great, and her face is just average - WITH makeup! Without makeup, she looks terrible. There are so many people who are not actors who look much, much better without a stitch of makeup, but because they are not famous, they don't get BS compliments thrown at them every second. It's nice to see that the standard of beauty Hollywood and the media tries to shove down people's throats is not what people really like. Most of the younger people I know think that you must have a 2-inch thick layer of makeup to look decent because of what they see on TV. However, older people have greater appreciation for natural beauty. Also, I would not wish to have a figure of someone who looks like a gym-addict. While it is nice to be fit, it is also important for females to look like females, and not chisel themselves out to start looking like (bulked up) men!

Nikki Says:
That's funny because I think she's fugly as hell. She has a manly body, bad skin, and a creepy face. Plus she's a bleepty actress and a spoiled b*tch to boot. I heard she's a real @sshole to fans and is really mean when someone asks for an autograph.

Cameron, you need to hook up with my son who is a gorgeous 6' 185 lbs, 37 yr old dark hair(Italian & French),great body,tight abs. Much nicer looking than Tom Cruise. In fact, some people have mistaken him for Cruise, only taller. He's worked on cruise ships for 15 yrs, the last 3 on the Norweigan Pride of Aloha (2nd in command, Hotel Director). He is a well rounded jock, loves the ocean, loves all sports, has played baseball since he was 9 yrs old(pitching & also played outfield) & would've been chosen to play in the big leagues, but had an operation on his elbow by a Red Sox doctor, & lost his speed to pitch. Also played football & tried hockey in his high school yrs He has a 4 yr degree in fiance & business, has a home in Ft Lauderdale & an apartment in Miami (South Beach).....I keep telling him you 2 should hook up, for about 5 yrs, now, but he had a Czech girlfriend & had recently broke up, & keeps saying he's just a simple man & is not all impressed with the big stars, hollywood or what not. He's been all over the world, due to his jobs with the cruise lines, & vacations, & I feel you could be a great couple. I know you also go to South Beach alot, so contact me & I will give you his address & picture, the 2 of you can get together. He treats women real well & the 2 of you would really hit it off. I've raised him to respect women, & he is the middle child of 3 boys. I have been hesitating to contact you due to the fact you were with Justine T. Now I wish I had reached you a few yrs back, since you were in such hell. Hoping to hear from you!!!!!!!!You 2 would have such pretty babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Contact me!!!!!!!

And that is the reason why Justin Timberlake dumped her.She is shallow and full of herself, no different from celebrity/retard or what we call celebutard, Paris Hilton.

Wow, Cameron, we aren't full of ourelves, are we?
It's not like she is that amazingly stunning, either! She is not in the same league as the young (but still beautiful now!)Sophia Loren or Catherine Zeta-Jones or another actually pretty actress. Just my opinion, so don't try to comment on this by claiming I must be a fugly beech. I'm just saying, she needs to look in a mirror.

she asks "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?'"
what actress or actor out there weighs 300 pounds with warts. Actors and Actress are pretty people that is why they have that job. If they need a 300 pound person with warts they use makeup...
the prejudice is of fat people and there is no prejudice for pretty people...the fact she gets asked questions and her life is in the spotlite is because she is a celebrity it is part of the job description....
