“I signed that release form, so you can just feel free to stick things in my slot.” Bad Teacher. Alright, this film was a serious flop, but we just loved seeing Cam step away from those saccharine rom-coms as Elizabeth Halsey, a lazy, inappropriate teacher who’s trying to get money for a boob job.

After Cameron Diaz appeared in the 2014 film “Annie,” she seemingly disappeared from Hollywood — and the star is now explaining why.
“I started [experiencing fame] when I was 22, so 25 years ago — that’s a long time,” the actress told InStyle magazine for their special 25th-anniversary issue. “The way I look at it is that I’ve given more than half of my life to the public. I feel it’s OK for me to take time for myself now to reorganize and choose how I want to come [back] into the world. If I decide to. I don’t miss performing.”

Diaz first burst onto the Hollywood scene when she starred in 1994’s “The Mask” opposite Jim Carrey. Diaz enjoyed a 20-year career with plenty of iconic hits, including 1997’s “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” 1998’s “There’s Something About Mary” and 2001’s “Vanilla Sky,” just to name a few.
While Diaz isn’t completely ruling out the idea of a comeback, she is more interested in pursuing other projects these days.

“Right now I’m looking at the landscape of wellness and all that,” said Diaz. “But whatever I do, it has to be something I’m passionate about — something that just feels effortless.”
Diaz has also been enjoying married life. She tied the knot with Good Charlotte musician Benji Madden, now 40, back in 2015. The outlet shared the couple live a quiet life away from the spotlight and are rarely seen.

“It’s fun to just not have anybody know what I’m up to,” said Diaz. “Because my time is all mine. I’m not selling any films, and because I’m not selling anything, I don’t have to give anybody anything. I’m not doing this anymore. I’m living my life.”
“I just want to build better, stronger friendships with the people who are in it with me,” Diaz continued. “Of course, that includes my husband. Getting married to him was the best thing that ever happened to me. My husband’s the best. He’s the greatest human being, and he’s my great partner. I don’t know if I was ready [when I got married], but I knew Benji was special. He’s just a good man. There’s no bulls---. It’s really refreshing. I’m really grateful for him. I like doing my own thing.”

And while Diaz is enjoying life away from the limelight, she teased that a return to films could easily happen sooner rather than later.
“I like creating, so I’m just looking for the project that makes the most sense to me now,” said Diaz. “I have some things brewing, but it’s a little too early to talk about them.”

Because, really, these are the reason we read it in the first place. And when a book starts with a section about pubes being 'a pretty draping that makes it a little mysterious to the one who might be courting your sexiness,' you know that s--t is going to be good.
Maybe they're not the weirdest or the grosses things ever printed (they're mostly just about the human body—everybody has one), but it's definitely interesting to hear a Kids Choice Award winner talk about her menstrual flow.
Anyway, these are the passages that had us going:

1. On Urine:'What color is your pee when you wake up and throughout the day? Generally speaking, a pale yellow color means that you are well hydrated. A dark yellow color and infrequent urination suggest dehydration.'

2. On Period Stains: 'If there is a bloodstain [on your white pants], use cold water, not hot, and wash as soon as possible. Hot water makes the proteins in the blood set and that makes the stain stick around longer. Just a little tip from me to you!'
3. On Poop: 'The food you eat determines the size, color, consistency, and amount of your poop. Want proof? Eat a helping of beets and then pay attention the next few times you have a seat on the throne. Beets turn bowel movements a dark pink or red tone, so it's easy to see how long it takes for food to pass through your system.'
4. On Fast Food: 'I know about fast food. I grew up on fast food...My friends and I would roll through the drive-thru, and I would get a double cheeseburger with French fries and onion rings. When I was in junior high, my friend's brother worked at Taco Bell. Every day after school, I would come by and order one bean burrito with extra cheese and extra sauce, no onions, and he would always give me two. Every day after school, I ate two bean burritos and a Coke. Every single day, for three years, that was what I ate. Every single day.'

This one is weird because who wouldn't want to eat at Taco Bell every day?
