Cameron Diaz: It was Torture Being 20
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Birthdays, Features
The 39-year-old actress - who turns 40 on August 30 - isn't bothered about getting older and she works out "everyday" to stay in shape, but the blonde beauty is glad that she will never have to be in her 20s again.
"I don't worry about age. I never have. I couldn't wait to get into my 30s when I was in my 20s. I don't want to go back to being 20, it was torture. When I'm not working I train everyday I can. I like weights. It's important for women to have strong muscles - that's what carries you."
Cameron - who plays pregnant Jules in her latest movie, What To Expect When You're Expecting - admits she disliked it when she recently got her hair chopped, but she has now grown to love her shorter locks: "I said, 'Yeah, I want to go shorter,' and she went a bit shorter than I'd anticipated! I was like, 'The back of my neck's exposed!' Then I went, 'I like this haircut. Look how cute it is!'"

The pop superstar believes she would do a great job if she was able to take control of the country and her main goal would be to stop the country wasting money on "weapons of mass destruction."
"You can't really change much in one day. I think I would like to be president for a longer time. I wouldn't spend as much money for weapons of mass destruction but instead for education and art," she said when asked what she would do if she was President of the United States for one day.
Although she has achieved worldwide success, Madonna's ambition and drive has not diminished over the years. The 53-year-old singer attributes her success to her thirst for reinvention and never taking anything for granted: "It's harder to stay famous than become famous. I don't think there's a rule for that (staying successful). You have to really love what you're doing. You have to feed your soul with ideas and you're not allowed to stop growing as a human. That's what helps to create art. When it comes to my work I don't take anything for granted."

Justin Bieber won't get drunk because he likes being in control. The 18-year-old singer admits he has experimented with alcohol but would never drink to excess.
"For me, it's like I like to be in control of myself. I mean, I've had a beer, like, before... But I never get out of control," he said.
Justin's manager, Scooter Braun, believes the "Boyfriend" hitmaker's caution stems from his desire not to damage his career. Talking about the star's remarks, he told GQ, "He knows that I hold him to a high standard... He doesn't want to blow it."
Justin - who is dating Selena Gomez - also admitted he struggles to trust people after having bad experiences in the past: "I mean, I keep my guard up a lot, because you know, you can't trust anyone in this business. That's what's sad. You can't trust anybody. I learned the hard way."

Billy Bob Thornton is "proud" of the way his ex-wife Angelina Jolie handles her life.
The 56-year-old actor - who was married to Angelina from 2000 to 2003 - is impressed with how the actress, who has six children with Brad Pitt, deals with her hectic lifestyle and believes she and Brad are perfect for each other.
"We're great friends and always will be. I'm proud of the way she's handled having a family. She's great for Brad, Brad's great for her. I support them 100 per cent. Angie is a little girl and a woman and a teenager and a ghost all wrapped up in one," he said, writing in his book The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts.
Proving how close they are, Angelina wrote the foreword in the book, describing the director as a funny guy but similar to a "mad mathematician."
"He has an unmatchable wit and can make you laugh until your face hurts. To be with him is like being with a mad mathematician. He is constantly counting and repeating. Some people walk through life able to quiet the voices in their heads. He can't. And I, and everyone else who knows him well, we love him for it," she wrote.
Matthew McConaughey says stripping is like "a drug."
The 42-year-old actor was told by director Steven Soderbergh that he didn't have to bare all in new movie Magic Mike - in which he plays former stripper Dallas - but knew he would regret it if he didn't flash his flesh, and was surprised by how much he enjoyed the experience.
"It wasn't in the script, but Soderbergh said in the beginning that if it felt right, I could strip at the end of the movie. I said, 'I gotta dance, man.' I would regret it for the rest of my life if I was in a male stripper movie and didn't get up there and strip myself. At first it was scary as hell, but then it became like a drug, and I couldn't wait to do it again. Look, I love to dance, but I've never been a stripper. Channing [Tatum]'s one of the best hip-hop street dancers I've ever seen, and I didn't want to challenge his style, so I worked on my own strengths. I also knew that my dance had to be the dirtiest. It had to be wonderfully filthy," he admitted.

Jennifer Lopez has been named the world's most powerful celebrity.
The 42-year-old star has knocked Lady Gaga off the top spot of Forbes magazine's annual Celebrity 100 list - at which she was placed number 50 last year - thanks to her high public profile and endeavors in music, movies, as a judge on American Idol and other endorsement deals, with her income over the last 12 months reaching a staggering $52 million.
The Celebrity 100 - which placed TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey second and Justin Bieber third - is based on income over a 12 month period and fame, as defined by a media presence across all platforms, as well as social media power as determined by prolificness on Facebook and Twitter.
Jennifer's fame was boosted by her 23,000 press mentions, including appearing on 46 major magazine covers, topping People's 2011 Most Beautiful list and being named as a Glamour Woman of the Year.

Justin Bieber Graduates from High School
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Child Stars, Features
Justin Bieber has graduated from high school.
The "Boyfriend" singer continued his studies away from a normal educational facility while touring the world, but is delighted to now be free of extra learning.
"I just finished high school. I passed my test - I'm free! It was hard doing school and work every day," he said.
Although Justin would have been happy to give up his education, his mother Patti preferred he stuck to it: "School was something my mom really wanted me to do, so I had to do it for her. I mean, this kind of lifestyle has given me a different perspective on life. I've been able to travel the world. At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I'm really not into that stuff. I like to be out there!"
He would now not want to give up his career because of other people and does what he wants to, when he wants to. "Here's the thing, I'm my own person. I don't make my decisions based around what people are going to think of me. I make them based on what I want to do and who I think I want to be. If none of this was happening, if there were no cameras around me, that's the kind of person I'd want to be - a good person," he added.
Freida Pinto says fame was "almost too much" for her.
The 27-year-old actress admits she nearly couldn't come to terms with being a celebrity after starring in 2008 movie Slumdog Millionaire, and the brunette beauty felt her co-star and boyfriend Dev Patel was the only person who "truly understood" what she was going through.
"If I needed to talk to someone about what happened, he was the only one who knew what was going on. It was nice to have those moments and that experience together. It took a while to accept what had happened. As much as I was happy with what was going on, it was almost too much to take in for somebody who'd never experienced any of that before. Surrounding myself with good people such as family and close friends helped me keep my head on my shoulders. That said, the one thing I knew was I had to seize the moment and strike while the iron was hot."

Johnny Depp Was Empty Before Having Kids

Johnny Depp was miserable until he had children.
The 48-year-old Dark Shadows actor has admitted that he felt empty until the birth of his first child with Vanessa Paradis.
"There is nothing on earth that could ever make me want to relive certain years of my life when I was young," he said.
The screen star's parents divorced when he was 15 years old and he self-harmed as a way to cope with his problems: "You grow up a bit damaged or broken then you have some success but you don't know how to feel good about the work you're doing or the life you're leading."
He explained that his offspring, Lily-Rose, 12 and Jack, 10, who he has with the 39-year-old singer, model and actress brought him back to appreciating life to the fullest. "You feel empty. I was angry and frustrated until I started my own family and my first child was born. Until then I didn't really appreciate life the way I should have, but fortunately I woke up," he added to The Sun.
Monica Bellucci: I’m Happy I Waited to Have Kids

Monica Bellucci is happy she waited until she wa
s nearly 40 to become a mother. The actress was 39 when she gave birth to her first child Deva, seven, and 45 when she had Leonie, 23 months and says she chose to be an older mother because she wasn't ready for her life to change until then.
"Before that I wasn't ready to become a mother. I wasn't ready for something so incredibly huge, something that would change my life for ever. I think it was because I am an only child. In a way I always felt a child -- too much into myself. I worried I wouldn't be ready to give myself. When the first one came, I thought I'd have another really quickly because I knew I didn't have much time left. In the end, I was breastfeeding for the longest time and ultimately I wanted to have time with just her and be really confident and know who she really is before I could get pregnant with my second. I was lucky to get pregnant at 44. We didn't have to try for a long time. It was natural. I would have been disappointed if I had left it too late to have a second child. But life is hard sometimes and you just have to accept things. They will either happen or won't happen -- it's not in our hands. We have to be really humble and accept destiny. Some things happen that you just can't change."
