She even experienced being nominated as Best Supporting Actress at several award-giving bodies for her stellar performance in the movie Being John Malkovich.

And apart from modeling and acting, Cameron Diaz is also a good poker player. Yep! How did that started? Well, it was celebrity Ellen DeGeneres of the famous talk show “Ellen” who introduced this female celebrity poker player to poker. Cameron Diaz was invited once by Ellen DeGeneres to the latter's place to play Texas Hold'em.

Cameron did not want to come because she did not know how to play such game. But with Ellen DeGeneres' insistence forced her to come and play. This female celebrity poker player must be very grateful not to miss such chance because she won and took home all her opponents' money.

Cameron Diaz may also be seen in casinos playing poker. Whenever she has free time, she makes it a point to visit the nearest casino she can find in order to relax, have fun, and take a break from her busy schedule as a celebrity.

Ever since that escapade, this female celebrity poker player reveals to become obsessed with poker. And such admission has only made Cameron even more attractive and famous.

Cameron Diaz said in the interview of Ellen introducing her to play Texas Hold'em, "I remember the fateful night as well. I remember the phone call: 'Come on 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."

And now, Cameron seeks poker all the time! "I'm addicted to it. I do like the casino a bit. I find myself at a casino every once in a while just walking through going, 'What am I doing here?' That's so desperate - I'm in Tunica, Mississippi."

Cameron Diaz has shown some propensity for the game, winning a 2nd place in a recent re-buy event. Regardless of being a novice, Cameron Diaz recognizes she has a blaze for the game. "I took 2nd place, but I actually won because I never bought back into the tournament. The guy who beat me bought back in like five times."

Only time will tell if Cameron Diaz can beat the World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker titles owned by another Hollywood celebrity poker player, Jennifer Tilly.

In seems that when she's not busy doing every guy she can while rebounding from her lesbian relationship with Sam Ronson, Lindsay Lohan continues to explore her dwindling career options. The latest rumor is she might do a topless stage show in Las Vegas.

Lohan flew from Los Angeles to Las Vegas on Saturday on the private plane of the producer of Mel B. and Kelly Monaco's "Peepshow" to attend the grand opening of the sexy striptease production, but made the trip more importantly because she had a meeting scheduled with director and Broadway big-wig, Jerry Mitchell.

"Peepshow" is designed to have rotating leads and according to very close inside sources, Lohan is in official negotiations to take over from Monaco who wants to move on and get back to work on "General Hospital," however Mel B. reportedly intends to stay on once her three-month contract is finished.

While this news doesn't surprise me even the slightest bit, what is shocking is how much Lindsay's breasts are sagging already and that anyone would pay money to see them. Check out these pictures of her visiting an optometrist the other day sans bra. At least this puts those implant rumors to rest - either that or she had them done in Tijuana.
