No doubt the duo had a great time as they celebrated their ongoing relationship which timing just happens to work in concert with the release of her new film The Green Hornet (co-starring Seth Rogan and Jay Chou).News has it that Rogan found his co-star “intimidating” during the filming of the movie since she “ran circles” around everyone else (we assume he’s referring to her energy level).We’re not sure when you’re going to be reading this post, but The Green Hornet is set to be released January 14, 2011, and we’re quite confident the energy Diaz was exuding on New Year’s Eve and at the taping (according to Rogan) is going to be evident on the big screen.If you want to tap into some of Diaz’ earlier works (like the aforementioned What Happens in Vegas or her many others mentioned in earlier posts) to get primed for your viewing of her latest hot number, you might want to check your Direct TV listings to see when they’re going to air.Don’t let another year go by without connecting with Diaz lest you feel “intimidated” at the loss!
The Latest Dish on Cameron and A-Rod
Cameron Diaz and A-Rod are keeping their new relationship under wraps, even when they are at a party together. At a Yankee party recently the two kept their distance and stayed on separate sides of the room. She spent the evening chatting up the wives of the other ball players. Diaz has been pretty quiet about dating A-Rod of the New York Yankees. However, she did mention recently that she grew up cheering for the LA Dodgers, but is now a fan of the Yankees. The couple reportedly spent a romantic vacation together in Boston, MA, when the Yankees were competing against the Red Sox. The couple was also recently spotted in London, dining together at the elite Cecconi restaurant. They did leave in separate cars to drive back to their hotel. Apparently A-Rod has a few hang ups in regard to his past relationships and doesn’t want Cameron to be at his games. His ex-girlfriend Kate Hudson was known to cheer at every game and would even go to some of his practices, so he doesn’t want Diaz to do the same. Cameron has been too busy for all of that anyway, she has been shooting a new movie titled “Bad Teacher” and promoting the film “Knight and Day” with actor Tom Cruise. A-Rod is known for his poor treatment of his wife, Madonna and Kate Hudson. So hopefully Cameron will not allow him to do this to her as well. She hasn’t been in a relationship since breaking up with Justin Timberlake over three years ago. With her busy schedule she is unlikely to be very concerned about A-Rod not wanting her at his games. Cameron Diaz and A-Rod have not yet officially confirmed that they are together. However, they seem to spending quite a bit of time together.
Cameron’s Green Hornet Review
The Green Hornet was a 1930′s radio serial and the 1960′s TV show that was famous for giving Bruce Lee his big break. The movie, the Green Hornet, stars Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz and is in 3-D and hit movie theaters on Friday, January 14, 2011. Cameron Diaz plays Brett Reid’s temp secretary and word from critics and movie viewers is that she does very little in the movie but provide “eye candy”. Some reviews expressed that Diaz did little to stand out as the secretary and researcher; however, others believe that Diaz is a welcome relief from Rogan, who is somewhat annoying. Seth Rogan is cast in the dual role of spoiled brat, Brett Reid, and the masked vigilante in the movie. Rogan also was a co-writer for the movie. One movie reviewer did give the movie 3.5 stars out of 5 and stated that each actor played his or her part effectively for what was needed. There are about thirty minutes of the movie that are highly entertaining, but this changes into rhetorical action sequences and silly wisecracks. Movie viewers have suggested that the movie is more of a comedy than an action film and that it is entertaining. One review of the movie stated that the movie, The Green Hornet, is a fun superhero movie that may not be for everyone. Comic book fanatics may love it and children may enjoy it because of the stunts, humor and action. For the fans of the 1966 TV show, it could lead to disappointment.A brief description of the characters, actors and legacy of the TV series makes for an interesting read!

Say It Ain’t So
We were so happy to write in an earlier blog that all indicators pointed toward our girl Cami having come to her senses by leaving A-Rod without even skipping a beat; sending him packing with his bats and balls (and maybe a fond memory or two). But alas, it seems this game has gone into extra innings since the two were reported to have spent time in Mexico together on vacation in late November and later spotted in South Beach when they went to Joanna Garcia and Nick Swisher’s wedding. We’re hoping the duo showed up to the wedding more to pay respect for the couple they no doubt use to pal around with when they, too, were a couple and had little (or nothing) to do with their reclassification as a couple. Maybe A-Rod has come to his senses and realized you can’t “blame the girl” for his own short-comings and Cami gave him a second inning to prove he’s changed his evil ways. Either way, we hope the on-again off-again format soon finds a final resting spot in the off-again mode.
We’re Happy It’s Over
It seems that Cameron Diaz had been dating New York Yankee athlete Alex Rodriguez since first being spotted leaving his NYC penthouse with overnight bags in tow. Unfortunately, before we could get that story out and align Cameron’s good luck charm potential with that of A-Rod’s last lucky charm found in Kate Hudson during the World Series last season, it seems they have called it quits after seven months of dating. We can’t help but notice the correlation to the timing of the World Series (and the Yankee’s sorrowful showing this year) and wonder if A-Rod is just experiencing a bout of Read more »
Pure Delight: The Sweetest Thing
If you’re new on the Cameron Diaz bandwagon you may not have yet had the pleasure to check out one of her earlier films The Sweetest Thing released in 2002. If that’s the case, you might want to get on it right away since this film is a hilarious and heart-warming story that touches on the concept of BFFs and the ever-popular theme of “looking for love.” Some critics comment in a pejorative way about the film’s “Porky-style naughtiness” which can at times be considered adolescent, but if you’re a woman who has ever quested for a man while being surrounded by your posse of sisterhood, you’ll enjoy this film.
