Carmeron Diaz is "a big gay favorite"
Hey, you know you've made it when The Advocate chooses you for their "Big Gay Following" feature. The current issue features the lovely Cameron Diaz who stars with Kate Winslet in the soon-to-be released "Holiday." I thought Diaz was just first-rate in last year's "In Her Shoes" which pretty much got overlooked but was quite good. Here is some of her interview with The Advocate's Brandon Voss:
Q. How does it feel to be featured in the Big Gay Following section?A.
When I heard the news I was ecstatic! I’ve always wanted to be in The Advocate. I was trying to figure out how I could get into it, actually.
Q. Do you mind that many of your gay male fans are insanely jealous that you get to sleep with Justin Timberlake?
A. No, of course not! I’m not at all intimidated. I don’t even care about the girls who flash all their bits and pieces at him. None of that bothers me. I love it! I’m like, “How awesome is your life? How cool is it to be you?� And Justin loves all of his fans. People adore him across the board, and he’s not uncomfortable with any part of it. We love the gays.
Q. How do your gay fans differ from your straight fans?
A. A gay fan isn’t afraid to gush, which a girl doesn’t mind! The Sweetest Thing seems to have a big gay following.
Q. That scene in [The Sweetest Thing] which Christina [Applegate] pretends you’re giving her oral sex while she’s driving has surely fueled many a lesbian fantasy.
A. I’m sure! Wow, I’ve never even thought of that. That’s interesting. That’s some place to go.
Q. Has your tomboyish personality ever attracted any lesbian advances?
A. Oh, yeah, definitely. Which I don’t mind at all. I love women. I think they’re amazing and beautiful.
Q. Do you have any celebrity girl-crushes?
A. I had a major girl-crush on Pamela Anderson. Still do—she’s hot as ever—but she was my first. When I first discovered her I was like, Wow, she’s so beautiful!

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

Well, at least someone had the foresight to put 'many' and not 'all' gay fans as per what usually (and misguidedly) goes into these sucking-up, typecasting sorts of interviews.
