Cameron Diaz says her mother is her role model.

The 'Shrek the Third' star says her mother Billie taught her to be a strong independent woman, by working hard and caring for her family.

She said: "My mom worked a full-time job during the day and came home every night to make dinner and take care of the household. She did it all. So I always looked up to her, not only as my mom, but as a strong and independent women in her own right. She had a life and a successful career outside the family. She was a wonderful role model."

Cameron - who split from long-term love Justin Timberlake last December - started modelling at just 16 and has since enjoyed a highly successful Hollywood career.

She has a string of hit films to her name, including 'There's Something About Mary', 'Charlie's Angels' and 'Gangs of New York'.

Cameron, 34, is now dating magician Criss Angel, and the

illusionist admits he is completely smitten with the actress.

Criss, 39, said: "Cameron is an amazing person. I'm so

honoured to be able to call her my friend."

I was hanging out at my usual Nightspot drinkin' beers shooting pool and just doin' the usual stuff. A band came in and set up on the stage.
20 minutes later an entire squad of people came in. One guy started walking around doing magic. It was Criss Angel. Turns out the band that was playing was doing a few songs on the soundtrack for the A@E tv show.
Well Criss got to me and was going to show me a trick or two but....
I screamed at him 'Get away from me you eff'N HOMO!' Here we are 4 years later. He's dating Cameron Diaz. Me ? I still hang out at that same bar.
