....Camron Diaz....has not aged how I thought she would.
I can't be the only one who thinks this entire response is malarky and just sound so faux-intellectual.
On having children: “We live in a society where everyone has kids, so they want other people to have kids. There is this culture that says celebrities are supposed to be just like us, so people think, ‘I have children, why doesn’t she?’ But I’m not going to do something because it’s expected. If a family happens, then it happens. If children come to me, then I would do that, but I’m not someone who feels like she has to do something because it’s expected.”

She keeps giving the same interview over and over it's so boring. We got it you're not desperate to get married or have kids. She also needs to stop making generalizations about other people. Not every married couple with kids pushes their lifestyle on others. In another interviews she said girls like it when men cat call. I find her so annoying especially her Seth Rogen laugh
I don't mind the cover. But Cameron needs to start picking up her movie game. Her last few choices have been less than stellar ie; she saw a script of Sex Tape and thought that was a good idea?
This. I can't believe a stupid movie like that was made for the world to see, with all the fantastic movies out there waiting to be made but aren't because of lack of funding, yet 'Sex Tape' is made... Great just what the world needed...
I think sometimes it comes down to needing/wanting a paycheck.
Why else Oscar winners Christoph Waltz and Kevin Spacey take roles in Horrible Bosses 2?
The work was easy, gave them a paycheck and keeps them in the public eye until something better comes along.
Not that Cameron Diaz is in the same category. She's a big star but she has peaked. She was never a serious actress but more of a romcom one. At 40-something, although she's not old, there's always a younger more refreshing actress coming along......
'They make each other incredibly happy': Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden 'get engaged' after whirlwind seven-month romance
Cameron Diaz is reportedly engaged to boyfriend Benji Madden.
The 43-year-old actress started dating the Good Charlotte rocker in May, and sources claim she is now ready to take their relationship to the next level after a whirlwind seven months.
Everyone thinks it's wild but are so happy for them, a source told Us Weekly. Benji always tends to fall in love easily, but this time it's for real and he landed a great girl.
They obviously both make each other incredibly happy and there's nothing better than that.
The actress recently sparked engagement rumours by sporting a prominent gold wedding-style band complete with sparkling diamond.
Whirlwind romance: Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden are reportedly set to marry after just seven months
Rumours: Cameron recently sparked engagement rumours by wearing a distinctive gold band complete with sparking diamond
Cameron previously admitted that she learned one major lesson from all her failed romances - don't keep making the same mistake when picking a man.
She said: 'Here's the thing. You make the same mistake over and over again until you learn your lesson.
'We girls sometimes do the thing where we pick the same person over and over again - they look and seem different, but deep down, they're the same. And that's on us.
But In an interview in Marie Claire earlier this year, she also got very candid about her private life revealing she's 'not looking for a husband or marriage' and isn't necessarily planning for a family.
'I'm not looking for a husband or marriage or not not looking for that stuff,' said the star.
'I'm living, not thinking what I should or shouldn't be doing with my life.'
While neither Cameron or Benji have confirmed or denied reports of an engagement, she's also not paying much attention on so-called to pressures to have children.

So happy: Cameron and Benji started dating in May and have seemed increasingly close
'If a family happens, then it happens,' said The Other Woman actress. 'If children come to me, then I would do that, but Im not someone who feels like she has to do something because its expected.'
Interestingly, Cameron recently revealed that she thought 'timing' is the secret to having a happy relationship.
The actress says for a man and woman to be compatible they both need to want the same thing at the same time otherwise your romance is heading for the rocks.
She told Cosmopolitan magazine: 'You have to find someone in the same place as you are. Timing is everything.'
'If you get into a relationship where you want something the guy doesn't want, it's never going to work. You're never going to get him to be in that place.'
'No matter how old you are, finding the guy who's in the same place as you are and wants to show up is the only way a relationship works, period.'
The Sex Tape star has previously been in relationships with Justin Timberlake, Matt Dillon and Jared Leto.
In August, Benji spoke to People magazine at Alt 98.7 Penthouse Party at Hollywood Tower about his new love and how their relationship has influenced his work.
'I'm really happy right now', she said, referring to his whirlwind romance.
'It's same for any man, no matter what they do. It drives you,' he said.
He continued: 'All people, I think, react the same way to the same situations like we were saying with Joel being a father we all want to be the best we can be.
And as early as July, friends of the evidently smitten couple insisted it wouldnt be long before the pair tied the knot.
A source told People: 'It's early, but they have talked about marriage.'
Benji spends so much time at Cameron's that it seems he now kind of lives there. They look very happy together ... Cameron hasn't looked this happy for years.'
Nicole Richie recently revealed she takes full 'responsibility' for Benji and Cameron getting together.
The 32-year-old socialite - who is married to the tattooed musician's twin brother Joel Madden - 'approves' of the couple's new relationship and admitted she was the one who got them together.
Asked if she set them up, she said: 'Yes. I'm going to take responsibility for everything!'
Nicole - who has children Harlow, six, and Sparrow, four, with Joel - is delighted her brother-in-law has found happiness with the Sex Tape actress in recent months.
She added: 'I approve of anything that's going to make Benji happy.
'I am a devoted sister-in-law. I'm happy for anyone who is happy, and I want everyone to be surrounded with love.'
Benji had previously told Details that a family is 'what every man wants, whether they admit it or not.'
But the Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous hitmaker, who previously dated Paris Hilton and Sophie Monk admitted he wasn't sure if he was ready to settle down just yet.
He explained: 'I did relationship damage to myself in my twenties. That's what your twenties are for. You learn, and then you apply it in your thirties.'
However, while Benji is open about his desire to have children, Cameron recently admitted to Esquire that motherhood doesn't appeal to her.
She said: 'It's so much more work to have children. To have lives besides your own that you are responsible for, I didn't take that on. That did make things easier for me.
'A baby, that's all day, every day for eighteen years. Not having a baby might really make things easier, but that doesn't make it an easy decision.
'I like protecting people, but I was never drawn to being a mother. I have it much easier than any of them. That's just what it is. Doesn't mean life isn't sometimes hard.
I'm just what I am. I work on what I am. Right now, I think, things are good for me. I've done a lot. And I don't care anymore.'
While Cameron has enjoyed numerous high-profile romances in the past, Benji has also had his fair share of famous girlfriends.
After splitting from long-term love, Australian model Sophie Monk, in February 2008, the Good Charlotte rocker went on to date socialite Paris Hilton from February until November.
He then embarked upon a romance with former Playboy bunny Holly Madison and ex-wife of Hugh Hefner - from December 2009 until January 2010, before dating British singer Eliza Doolittle between 2011 and 2012.
MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz.

Lol and Annie with it's terrible reviews comes out today. Convenient timing but congrats to her
Hmm...not sure if engagement rumours are true but I like them as a couple.
He and his brother have a high profile here due to The Voice Australia. They both seem like very nice guys.

US magazine is saying the engagement is confirmed through "multiple" sources but don't know if they are a reliable source.
I've always liked Cameron's view of not being pushed into having to get married or having kids. If she's engaged, I'm glad for her and him. I don't know much about her boyfriend or fiancé.

With all these ring flashes and her fidgeting with it I assume it's true. . .
