After weeks of keeping their relationship under wraps, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden are finally out in the open. Diaz, 41, and Madden, 35 are considered “new” and “just hanging out” but the Good Charlotte singer is considered the first high-profile relationship for Diaz since her split from Alex Rodriguez in 2011. The pair have Madden’s sister in-law, Nicole Richie to thank for their introduction, according to UsMagazine.com.
How do you keep your new relationship on the down-low?
Cupid’s Advice:
When your relationship is just blossoming, it can be difficult to figure out your own feelings about that person if your relationship is highly publicized. With everyone giving you their input, and pestering you about the latest details of your love life, you may get caught up in the attention and neglect the fact that it may not even be working. By initially keeping your new relationship on the down-low, you’ll be able to discover your feelings for your new beau, and find out whether or not you could really gal for this person:
1. Hold off on updating your social media status: Until you get out of the murky waters of “What direction is this going in?” you don’t need to make your relationship Facebook Official. These days defining your relationship is harder than it looks, so at first your don’t want to jump to conclusions about your relationship status with your man. Just keep cool, calm and collective, and once you both have your feet on the ground you can upload those adorable selfies you have on your camera roll.
2. Do a trial run: Get out of town for the day. Go to a place where there’s no pressure because you won’t run into anyone you know. This way you don’t have to worry about awkward introductions such as wondering whether to refer to your guy as your friend, boyfriend, or anything else. Now the two of you can test the waters of what it’s like to be out in public together, while still getting to know each other on a deeper level.
3. Don’t make it a big deal until it’s a big deal: When your friends and family inquire about your love-life, keep your answer vague. You don’t want to let them in the know until there is actual information to give. It may send the wrong signals to your guy by including loved ones in your dating life. He may think you’re trying to get serious too quick, and you don’t want your family to get confused if things don’t work out.

We all want to look our best, and that begins with managing our hair. With clients including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Chrissy Tiegan, and Jennifer Lopez, Raphael Reboh definitely knows what he’s doing when it comes to achieving glossy locks. Whether it’s a celebrity in his chair or not, the stylist finds himself always stressing the same advice: Take care of your hair!
“Women often don’t take care of their hair as much as their skin, but they should,” he explains in our celebrity interview. “I find it weird that women will run out and buy hundreds of dollars worth of face cream that may not even work, but they won’t spend the same amount of money and energy on their hair. Hair is connected to the scalp, so it’s just as important.”
Every year this time we have to think about what to do for the big holiday season. Holidays can be challenging to just about everybody. There are decisions to be made, plans put in place, and money to be spent. And while this is true for everyone, many single people feel an extra layer of stress.
In fact, I heard from a single friend who is feeling particularly lonely and is dreading the coming holiday season. She isn’t close to her family and the holidays are a time that kinda puts a spotlight on it. I, teasingly, reminded her of Cameron Diaz and Kerry Washington, two sexy ladies who have described themselves as “happily single.” I said, “Do you think Cameron and Kerry are worried about the holidays? I’ll bet they’re looking forward to the festivities…and you should be, too.”
Cameron Diaz knows people may idolize her physical features and she’s not bothered by it. Actually, she likes it and has no doubt other women believe the same. Diaz, 40, recently told U.K.’s Sunday Times that she believes all women want to be objectified. “There’s a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified, and I think it’s healthy.” Even when the Hollywood actress is asked to strip down to her underwear for a photo shoot, as she did recently for the Terry Richardson spread in the November issue of Esquire UK, Diaz is confident and sure of herself. “[The stylists are] like, ‘Today we’re not going to put anything other than bras and heels on you, and I’m like, ‘These heels are not high enough.’ Cameron knows her level of self confidence didn’t just happen overnight. “I’m a woman, I know how to handle myself.”

“You know, Justin and I are great friends. We love each other. We want the best things for one another,” Cameron Diaz told “Good Morning America” in 2011, long after her relationship with Justin Timberlake had ended and while they were promoting the comedy “Bad Teacher” together.
While movie star Cameron Diaz has been romantically linked to celebrities like Justin Timberlake and New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez, walking down the aisle has not been in the cards for her — yet. Rather, the What to Expect When You’re Expecting starlet is alright with that. She admits that marriage was not something she searched for in her 20’s or 30’s. However, Diaz, who just turned 40 at the end of August, is feeling open minded to the possibility of marriage and, perhaps, children in her future. Recently, she spoke with Esquire UK about her life, stating that she knows herself better, feels more capable than ever, and “has gratitude. “ When it comes to potential suitors, Diaz claims she looks for “someone who takes care of themselves, who’s strong.” Until then, she seems perfectly content in her own skin.
Whether single by choice or by broken heart, the prospect of marriage for the unattached seems distantly hypothetical. If you’re a free spirit looking for flings, fun and flirting, you’ll avoid even the thought of it at all costs. For those recovering from a lost love, it’s important not to give up, because Prince Charming will come again. In fact, there are some Hollywood bachelors and bachelorettes who are in desperate need of true love as well. Others are devoted to such a carefree life of casual hookups that it makes one wonder if even the most glamorous single celebrity could lock them down. Here are the stars we’d like to push down the aisle:
If you’re still carrying around old baggage from a past relationship, use these tips to help with letting go.
Cameron Diaz is a good example of someone who does not burn her bridges of love. From A-Rod’s statement that he cherished her even after they broke up to her working with Justin Timberlake on a movie after they had a relationship, it is clear that she doesn’t cut people completely out of her life once the romance is gone. Some might say that’s a good thing, but what could it mean to her future relationships? If you’ve kept up with your exes, you might want to keep reading:
This comedy features an all-star cast including Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison, Elizabeth Banks, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock and Anna Kendrick. The plot follows five couples, all expecting children, who must overcome the issues that couples all face when expecting a child. The trailer is quick on the laughs and the heart making for what could be a fun summer comedy stuck in between all the big action blockbusters. With a cast of respectable actors like this all signing on to do the same film, the script has to be good.

I said, ‘What are you. . . ?’ And then I went, ‘You know what? I love you too much, I’m going to give it to you. You deserve it.'”

They say breaking up is hard to do, but that certainly isn’t the case for ‘Bad Teacher’ star Cameron Diaz. Diaz told UK’s ‘News Of The World’, “We break up, we move on,” in response to recent reports that she split from baseball hottie A-Rod, according to RadarOnline. Diaz’s new movie ‘Bad Teacher’ in which she plays a raunchy, go-for-broke educator is set for release June 24th, and her character in the movie isn’t far off from who she is in real life. When Diaz appeared on Jimmy Kimmel in February, she proclaimed, “I love porn” and told a British newspaper that sex is her favorite sport. Seems like a break up is the last thing the actress is concerned about!
