Woman Crush Wednesday: Cameron Diaz

1) She's always entertaining to watch- I've seen a lot of movies with Cameron Diaz in it, and I feel like she's just super fun to watch. Even if a movie gets bad reviews and its not great overall, like Bad Teacher for example, its still fun to watch because she's just so good in it. I just think she's one of those movie stars that really brings it to any movie she's in.

2) She can do different types of genres- I know she mostly does Rom Coms but she can step out of her comfort zone and do a lot of different things. I really liked the movie The Box that she was in and that was a psychological thriller type of movie. I may be the only person that liked that movie, but I thought she was great. I've never seen the movie My Sister's Keeper, but that's not a comedy either and she was able to be the mom in that and I think it got pretty good reviews if memory serves me. She was also in that action movie with Tom Cruise a few years ago that my mom liked (I think my mom secretly likes Tom Cruise. I don't think she has a crush on him or anything, but she likes him and I think its a secret. lol.)

3) She's both the straight-girl and the funny girl- In There's Something About Mary, she may have been the title character, but she wasn't the person that was supposed to make you laugh uncontrollably or anything. In Bad Teacher, she was the person you would be laughing out loud at. In The Holiday, she had the more funny of the two stories, but it was also a more serious role for her in my opinion. She isn't boring to watch either way, but I think its good that she can do both.

4) She's got a hot bod- Seriously girl be fit! It's not even like an "ohhh shes so skinny" type of thing, you can tell she works out and keeps her body the way that it is. She's got a tiny stomach, long legs and a nice butt... like how is that possible that people that beautiful exist!

5) She's aged really nicely- This doesn't sound like its a compliment, but I mean it that way. It's not like Cameron Diaz is old, but she isn't 20 anymore. She's gotten older and sometimes in Hollywood that can be really scary. I think she looks just as good now as she did when she was first starting out, if not better. In The Other Woman I thought that her make up looked like it wasn't doing anything for her and that it made her look older, but when she has little make up on (they showed her trailer for sex tape and she didn't seem to have much make up on) she looks amazing. She's just someone that has always been beautiful and will stay that way.

6) She's Believable in every role she's in- She has a lot of really different roles in all of her movies and I think she's totally believable in all of them. In Bad Teacher- she's a bad girl teacher that breaks the rules, does drugs and is just a kind of a bad person. In The Other Woman, she's the sexy mistress of a married man and the best friend to his wife after she finds out. In The Box, she's a mother and a woman who wants a million dollars so badly she presses a button that will kill another person. In What Happens in Vegas she was the tightass business woman who is recovering from one night of fun. In The Holiday she's a woman that's been cheated on and is falling in love with someone else, also sucessful bussinesswoman. In In Her Shoes she's the dyslexic sister that sleeps with her sisters boyfriend and gets kicked out. In There's Something About Mary she's the girl next door that everyone is obsessed with... That's a lot. A lot of movies and a lot of different roles and she does a great job in all of them!

Also once she was on a talk show and she mentioned that her first movie was The Mask. That's a pretty successful first movie and pretty much all of her movies since then has been successful. Maybe not critically, but mostly critically and definitely in the box office... and that I think is because people see that Cameron Diaz is worth the price of admission to see a movie. She's just overall really great and people like her.

7) She seems like a good person- I don't think she seems like one of those celebrity phonies like some people-*cough* Gweneth Paltrow *cough*- she just seems like she's real and has to be a good person. I don't know her personally, but I just think that she seems like she is someone friendly and without an ego and just a good person. And I think that can be supported, she's still friends with a lot of her co-workers. She did a movie with Justin Timberlake even after they broke up, She's been in two movies with Jason Seagel and they seem to be good friends, and she still goes to dinner with Drew Barrymore and her husband. I just think that definitely makes an impression and it means she's good to work with and a real person.

That's it for today. Tomorrow I think I'm going to do a movie review... can you guess what movie?? Lol!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
