Cameron Diaz became a blip on the radar of those who proudly sport a Y chromosome back when she played opposite Jim Carrey in “The Mask”. Those who missed her in that film probably got their first glimpse of her in the movie “Something about Mary” when she used a hair jell that no reputable beautician would recommend. I personally fell in love with this actress during the first “Charlie Angels” flick when she reframed the song “Baby got Back” in her own image dancing image. Apparently another place you can catch Ms. Diaz is at the poker table in any casino within a reasonable drive of her locale.
In a recent admission by the leggy bombshell, Cameron admitted that poker has become an obsession with her. Her near religious conversion to the game came from a rather unusual missionary. Diaz credits talk show host, Ellen Degeneres as the person who introduced her to the game.
“I remember the fateful night (DeGeneres introduced me to the game) as well. I remember the phone call: 'Come over and play Texas Hold 'Em. I said: 'I don't know how to play Texas Hold 'Em. She was like: 'None of us do, come on over.'
We sat around a big table. What time did we get done, like four o'clock in the morning? I took everybody's money that night! I took second (place), but I did actually win because I never bought back into the tournament. The guy who beat me bought back in like five times." Diaz recalled.
Her acceptance of poker has just made this beauty more likeable and attractive. Now if she could just separate herself from that boy band alumnus that follows her like a trained puppy, she would be the perfect woman.
