Cameron Diaz was a ''miserable'' teenager because of her bad acne.
Cameron Diaz was a ''miserable'' teenager because of her bad acne and claims it cleared up when she stopped eating junk food.
The 41-year-old actress admits she could eat whatever she wanted when she was younger but her love of junk food took a toll on her skin and made her dread leaving her house.
She told the February issue of Seventeen magazine: ''You might think my life is always totally glam, but I used to have horrible acne - deep, boiling pimples - the kind that hurts so badly, I didn't want to leave my house. My friends said they didn't notice, but I'd say, 'It's the only thing anyone can see!' No amount of concealer and foundation could take away the texture of my skin, the embarrassment I felt, or the pain of those raging pimples. I was miserable.''
She added: ''At the same time, I was this skinny girl who could eat anything I wanted without gaining an ounce - so I did. I was the poster child for being both skinny and unhealthy - and I had the zits to prove it. I thought I'd tried everything to make my skin clear up, but I didn't realise all that fried, greasy, processed artificial crap was setting off a hormonal surge that sent my skin into crazy town!''
The 'Counsellor' star claims her skin immediately started clearing up when she began eating healthier and working out regularly.
She said: ''Once I cut out the junk, I saw such a major difference that I felt like an idiot. It not only cleared up my acne, but it also gave me this huge amount of energy. I went from focusing on how my face looked to focusing on all the awesome things my body is capable of.''(Contactmusic.com)
Venezuelan ex-beauty queen Monica Spear murdered
Former Venezuelan beauty queen Monica Spear, 29, and her British husband Thomas Berry, 39, have been shot dead in their car in Venezuela.
Their five-year-old daughter, who was injured in the incident, is said to be in a stable condition in hospital.
Police have launched a investigation into the killing, which happened on the highway leading from Valencia to Puerto Cabello.
Ms Spear became Miss Venezuela in 2004, and also acted in soap operas.
Police believe they were the victims of a failed robbery attempt.
Ms Spear and Mr Berry were travelling at night from the city of Merida to the capital, Caracas, when they hit a sharp object "placed on the road", according to Venezuela's investigative police chief Jose Gregorio Sierralta.
At least two of the two tyres were punctured, he said.
The couple and their daughter waited for about 45 minutes for breakdown assistance, reported El Universal newspaper.
The car was about to be towed away when a group of five people approached and ordered them to stop.
The couple and their daughter reportedly ran back and hid inside the car but were shot at by the gang.
Ms Spear and Mr Berry died instantly. Their daughter, Maya, was shot in the leg.
'Iron fist'
Initial reports said Mr Berry was Irish. But the British Foreign Office has now confirmed he was a British national, who reportedly moved to Venezuela as a child.
The couple lived in the United States and were in Venezuela on holiday.
Venezuela has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Armed robberies and kidnappings are not unusual, but the death of Ms Spear has had huge impact in the country.
President Nicolas Maduro has promised to respond with "an iron fist" to those who continue to attack the Venezuelan people.
He expressed his condolences and said: "We were evaluating the cruelty with which the suspects acted. Violence is an evil that we have."
He added: "There will be no tolerance to those who carry out acts like that, killing decent men and women, who have a right to live."
The opposition leader and defeated presidential candidate, Henrique Capriles, posted a message on his Twitter account calling for a nationwide drive against violence.
"Nicolas Maduro, I suggest we put aside our deep differences and get together to fight the lack of security, as one bloc," he wrote.
Hours later, Mr Maduro invited Mr Capriles to join all state governors and the mayors of the 79 municipalities for an emergency meeting later today.(BBC)
