Cameron Diaz: Inconsistently Selfish

I don't like Cameraon Diaz. I first became aware of her existence with the movie My Best Friend's Wedding in which she appeared to me as a whining, sniffling, lowly sort of woman, the sort of creature unworthy of the romantic attentions of any self-respecting human being.

Some people disagree with me on that, but I really hated her character in that movie and ever since I've found it hard not to see her in that light.

It's either that light or the one in which her bangs are held upright by dried semen. Take your pick.

well, she was on the internet today and she is quoted as making a remark that really bought her a lot of points in my book. I'm actually a little impressed at this very small display of a backbone.

24dash.com: 'Selfish' Cameron Diaz refuses to give up car to save planet

Cameron is quoted in new book 'The Green Book - The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time' as saying: "I don't want to be running around barefoot, pushing my car like Barney Rubble. I don't want to go back to the Stone Age. I just want to maintain what we have for a long period of time - forever. How nice would that be? I'm very selfish."

Of course, I agree with most of what she said there except I don't want to maintain. I want to progress. Get me a nuclear-powered flying car, dammit!

The article points out that she was called out earlier last month for carrying a purse with the political slogan of a tyrant written on it.

"Last month, the actress came under fire for carrying a bag bearing the political slogan of Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong in Peru."

So, she's not consistently of the right mind of things, but for what it's worth, I still have to applaud her environmental selfishness there.
