CAMERON DIAZ - TALKS JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SEX SCENE

Her new movie “Bad Teacher” hits theaters on Friday, June 24th, and Cameron Diaz called in to Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM show today to talk about her sex scene with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake.

The “Charlie’s Angels” chick explained, “We strived for one thing and one thing only and that was to create the least sexiest sex scene ever put on film. When you see it, you will see exactly what I’m talking about.”

Cameron continued, “I mean my job is to come to work and be as absurd as possible. All day long we just try to do whatever we can for a laugh, which clearly we’ll do anything for a laugh.”

As for her views on marriage, “Relationships are tough and the longer you’re there the harder they are. I think that marriage just puts a certain strain on it. I think that there is a little something about being partners and not the idea of what our concept of marriage is, I think it throws people off after awhile.”

“I think we need to define it for ourselves and make it a little bit more sexy and little bit more modern in the ideals of how the world works. Things are different these days. We have all kinds of ways of connecting with one another and it’s just not what it was when we first designed marriage.”

RANI MUKHERJEE - SOUTH HAS RAJNIKANTH AND WE HAVE SALMAN

Bollywood most wanted, Rani Mukherjee has finally shed her recluse image. Now, post the success of her last film, the actress is more forthcoming to media interactions and also loves to go beyond political correctness at times.

Now, at the crossroads of a new dawn in her career, Rani Mukherjee is kicked about working in films that are bigger in concepts than budgets. Though she might be doing a film opposite Aamir in Reema Kagti's next, but Rani chooses to keep mum on that topic. According to her, "I will only speak about my film with Aamir once it nears the release date. Till then I am not going to utter a word about it."

Talking about her co-actors so far, Rani cannot stop herself from going gaga over Salman Khan. According to Rani, "He is a cult figure. Just as south has Rajnikanth, we have Salman Khan. He is so adorable and good looking; I would say he is the real rockstar."

Rani is lately being credited with bringing the feminist movement back to bollywood. Talking about women-centric films, Rani adds, "The audiences are gradually warming up to women centric films and unless they come out in huge numbers to watch such films, they cannot be made on a large scale. I think with time it will happen."

With Rani getting more media savvy by the day, hope she does not go back being the pretty recluse again.
