Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz have appeared on the BBC’s Top Gear show.

The A-listers took on the ‘Star in a reasonably priced car’ challenge and each drove a Kia cee’d around the famous test track.

Cameron Diaz also gave ‘The Stig’ a run for his money, trying to remove his helmet between laps.

It was after the mysterious test driver had to come to Diaz’s aid when she had problems with the car’s gearbox mid-way around the track.

Cruise and Diaz were in the UK for the premiere of their action flick, Knight and Day, held in London’s Leicester on Thursday evening.
Explaining his appearance on the show Cruise said: “I like fast cars and motorcycles. I’ve always loved them since I was a kid.”

Diaz was tempted to spill the beans about who was fastest but said she had to keep the result a secret.

“We did timed laps”, said the 37-year-old actress. “It’s very exciting – we know the score and we want to tell everybody, but we can’t because we want them to watch the show.”

Mission Impossible star Cruise, 48, also played real life hero during the studio segment by going to help an audience member who fainted.

The two stars can be seen trying their luck on the test track this Sunday on BBC Two at 8pm.

Actress Cameron Diaz has bought a $10 million single-storey home in Beverly Hills, California.

Cameron Diaz has splashed out on a $10 million home.

The ‘Shrek’ actress has reportedly bought a sprawling three-acre mansion in a private gated community in Beverly Hills, California.

The 5,000 sq ft single storey English cottage-style property comes with six-and-a-half bathrooms, a large open plan living room with two seating areas and a dining room.

The grounds include a detached three bedroom guesthouse, a tennis court and swimming pool with hot tub.

The Hollywood mansion was once owned by actress Candice Bergen, 64, and many famous faces live nearby.

Cameron’s new neighbours include newlyweds Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Jessica Simpson and Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary.

The 37-year-old actress – who is rumoured to be dating baseball star Alex Rodriguez – also owns a $1.35million house nearby.

Despite her new purchase, Cameron recently revealed that she wants to move away from Hollywood to live on a farm.

She said: “I’ve always been on the move so what I’d love to do is spend a whole year in one place, on a farm.

“I’d get to raise my own crops and livestock, and for once just see how life is cultivated.”

Cameron Diaz is the woman everybody wants at a party – fun for men and not threatening to women, like a female George Clooney. A perennial fun-seeker, she is the centre of attention wherever she goes, be it the ski slopes, the beach she is an expert ski-er and surfer – or the nightspots of Hollywood.

So it comes as something as a surprise when the MTA – Hollywood-speak for “model-turned-actress” – tells me she thinking of leaving Hollywood and settling down.
Well, for a year or so anyway. And an even bigger surprise is where she wants to put down temporary roots.

The 37-year-old actress, who has been on the move since going to Japan at the age of 16 as a leggy young model, sees herself as, wait for it .a farm girl.

“I don’t want to say I’ve seen it all because this world is so vast, but I’ve always been on the move and what I’d love to do is spend a whole year in one place, actually on a farm, where I get to raise my own crops and my own livestock and for once in my life see just how life is cultivated,” she told me earnestly, her usually smiling face looking serious.

“It’s almost like this primal thing. I really just feel like the earth is where we all come from and we have nothing if we don’t have soil and water and sun. I’ve read a lot about agriculture and I feel the need inside me to work with the earth in some way. I guess it would be like a painter having to paint.” Her smile returns, her eyes sparkle and the putative farm girl is once more the sophisticated woman in expensive designer clothes with an entourage of publicists and protectors.

There is no doubting her sincerity but it is difficult to imagine Cameron Diaz in non-designer jeans and Wellington boots enduring the deprivations of a farmer’s life.

Tom Cruise, who co-starred with her ten years ago in Vanilla Sky and re-teams with her for the big-budget comedy-adventure Knight And Day, says: “She’s one of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet and a lot of fun.

She’s talented, funny, athletic and a great actress. Always fun.” She certainly smiled and laughed a lot as we talked in a penthouse suite at New York’s Mandarin Oriental hotel shortly before the movie’s U.S.premiere. She looked casually chic in a Marc Jacobs tailored moss green jacket over a black tank top and tight blue jeans with a slim gold bangle on each arm. She appears to have an easy-going attitude to life and a natural sex appeal that has helped her become one of the world’s highest paid female stars although some of her movies have not been of the highest calibre and her acting talents have not always been obvious.

In Knight And Day—the only reason for the title is that the studio marketing department thought it would appeal to a wide audience—she plays June Havers, a woman on her way to her sister’s wedding who gets sucked into international intrigue and a round-the-world chase by Cruise, a rogue spy on the run.

Directed by James Mangold, the plot is a convoluted mish-mash of double-crosses, close escapes and almost non-stop chases, explosions and shootings involving planes, trains, cars, motorcycles and helicopters.

Tellingly and somewhat naively Diaz admits: “The script kind of went out of the window and we wrote this movie along the way. There were a lot of times when even the action sequences were sort of made up as we went along.

“Every day we just went in and had a laugh. We wanted to make a movie that people would have fun at and we had fun doing. When you do a film where you want the audience to be laughing and you spend a lot of your time laughing while making it, then you know it’s going to be genuine.” She becomes defensive, however, at the notion that it is not a movie that calls for much acting ability. “There are different kinds of acting,” she said. “Sure there are dramatic parts and parts where you are really going for it but there’s just as much acting going on in this film because we’re playing characters and my job as an actor is to take care of my character and make sure that person’s story is told.” Then she adds, laughing: “I do find, though, that in a film like this that is so big and is changing constantly that it’s a harder job to manage a relationship with your character because we’re moving around so much and it’s difficult to keep track of what’s going on.” Raised in Long Beach, California by her Cuban oil worker father and her mother, who worked for an exporter, Diaz was “discovered,” appropriately enough, at a Hollywood party by a fashion photographer when she was 16-years-old. With her parents’ approval she spent five years modelling all over the world, which she credits with giving her the independence and confidence that have been hallmarks of both her personal and professional lives.

When she was 21 Cameron Diaz auditioned for a small role in Mask, opposite Jim Carrey, and after 12 auditions she was instead given the leading role of Carrey’s chief love interest. She was suddenly a hot commodity and few actresses have had a faster ride to the top.

She appeared in a series of independent dramas such as The Last Supper, Head Above Water and Feeling Minnesota which, while they allowed her to improve her newfound acting skills, flew under the radar. In 1997’s My Best Friend’s Wedding, holding her own against the star power of Julia Roberts, she emerged as a serious contender for the romantic comedy throne and then in Something About Mary sealed her image as a sunny, smiling, yet slightly edgy bombshell.

She has continually attempted to defy expectations with dramatic roles in films such as Any Given Sunday and Gangs of New York but as Nick Cassavetes who directed her in My Sister’s Keeper, says: “Cameron’s got that joie de vivre and people love her for it, but sometimes in Hollywood there’s a resistance to seeing someone in a different light.” She has remained single, through romances with Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto, Matt Dillon, John Mayer, illusionist Criss Angel, the English male model Paul Sculfor and, at the moment, Kate Hudson’s former boyfriend the baseball star Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. She keeps her thoughts about her relationships private but claims she is still friends with her past loves.

While many of her friends are having or adopting babies, Diaz is definite that she has no intention of following their example for some time yet, if at all. “I knew all along that if I had a child I wouldn’t be having all the other things I wanted in my life so I didn’t have a child and I got those things,” she said matter-of-factly.

As she beamed goodbye and, with her entourage in tow, headed for the door on her antique gold woven Casadei heels, it was difficult not to reflect that she could find life tough down on the farm.

Cameron Diaz insists she doesn’t want to stay with the same person for the rest of her life.

Cameron Diaz gets “freaked out” by commitment.

The ‘Knight and Day’ actress – who has dated a string of Hollywood hunks, including Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto and Matt Dillon, throughout her career – insists she doesn’t think it is important to stay with one person forever.

She said: “I think the big misconception in our society is that we’re supposed to meet the one when we’re 18 and we’re supposed to get married to them and love them for the rest of our lives. Bulls**t.”

The blonde beauty – who has most recently been romantically linked to baseball star Alex Rodriguez – admitted she thinks being with someone for 80 years is a scary thought, as she would prefer to date different people every five years to “break up” her life a little bit.

She explained to Stylist magazine: “Who would want to be with the same person for 80 years? Why not break it up a little bit? I think people get freaked out about getting married and spending 20 or 30 years sleeping with the same person but if that’s the case, don’t do it.

“Have someone for five years and another person for another five years. Life is long and lucky and yes, love might last forever, but you don’t always live with the person you love forever.”

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz? Really? Aren’t they both a little, er, old to be running around in mindless piffle like this?

Maybe this is the reality of recession-era Hollywood: actors who really should know better dragging their surgically-enhanced bums out of bed for a load of old rubbish called Knight and Day.

Because you just never know where the next $10 million is coming from.

Diaz’s June Havens does her ditzy but adorable schtick while repeatedly bumping into Cruise in an airport departure lounge.

He’s a good-looking stranger with an engaging way with a pickup line, and Diaz is quickly smitten.

By the time she emerges from the aircraft’s dunny to find that a) everybody else on the plane is dead, and b) it was Cruise what killed them, June is still inclined to believe Cruise’s “Roy Miller” when he tells her that he is the good guy on the run from corrupt government agents, and that only by sticking by him will she have any chance of staying alive herself.

Thus leaving the film’s many writers to spend the next two hours of your life stringing together a truly lunatic number of fights, stabbings, shootings and car chases, while Cruise and Diaz spend the occasional quiet moment looking into each other’s eyes and trying not to burst out crying at what’s happened to their careers.

Cruise has a McGuffin – in this case a perpetual battery – which he must protect from the forces of naughtiness, and Diaz turns out to be a half-decent fighter and a lucky shot.

Occasionally – and this is a huge copout for the writers – Cruise drugs Diaz into unconsciousness before mysteriously transporting her halfway around the world.

If you’ve been hankering to see “The Bourne Rom-Com” then Knight and Day is probably about as close as you’re ever going to get.

Director James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma) keeps the action percolating away nicely, but not even the most frenetic pace or lavishly orchestrated stunt sequence can disguise the fact that Knight and Day is an almost unbelievably stupid film.

I know that the moment this review appears online some outraged fanboy will be writing “it’s only escapism, it’s not supposed to Schindler’s List” in the comments section, and believe me, I get that.

But even mindless escapism needs to show a little respect for its audience.
Ad Feedback

I liked The A-Team a few weeks back because although the stunts were outrageously silly, the characters’ motivations were believable, and so the film’s progress made some sort of sense. No-one’s expecting a film like

The A-Team or Knight and Day to obey the laws of physics or physiology, but the audience must at least be able to understand why the lead characters are acting in the way they do. Knight and Day fails that test.

With your brain in neutral, at the end of a long week, you might just about get through it without asking for your money back.
