Geek Makeover: Cameron Diaz

Posted on June 17, 2010 by Jennifer Latkiewicz

Funny, bubbly and wickedly stylish, Cameron Diaz, next appearing in the action flick Knight in Day with Tom Cruise (in theatres on June 23), describes herself as “technophobic” and claims she can’t even turn on a computer! Veering away from anything too complicated or “tech-y”, here are a few of our picks to give the reluctant A-list golden girl a geek girl makeover:

	Violet May London Limited Edition cell phone clutch  Made from a luxe Italian snakeskin print leather, this cell phone wallet is a fabulously stylish way to carry the essentials like coins, notes, bank & business cards and has an internal slot for her cell phone or iPod. $269 at violetmaylondon.com
	Custom color Nintendo Wii With goofy easy-to-play gameplay, we’d have to get Cameron a Nintendo Wii (for a night in with friends like Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon perhaps?) but of course, the standard white will never do. For someone whose style is as bold and colorful as hers, there’s ColorWare, a design studio will customize a Wii console in any color in the world.  $375 at colorwarepc.com Add-on: Perfect for the famously anti-gym actress, EA Sports Active’s heart-pumping workouts will help maintain her bangin’ bod.$59.99 at Amazon.com
	Thomas Paul Luddite MP3 Case The “technophopic” actress would get a kick out of this Luddite Phonograph MP3 case – the word “Luddite” referring to someone who is reluctant to embrace technology and prefers to do things the old-fashioned way.  $24 at SeltzerStudios.com
	Sex Position of the Day iPhone App Sex has definitely been the hot topic for most of Cameron’s interviews from her Knight and Day promotional tour. While she’s keeping mum on the Alex Rodriguez rumors, it’s no question she’d get inspiration for a sexy mystery rendezvous from this mobile book of Kama Sutra.  $1.99 at Apple.com
	The Singularity is Near by Raymond Kurzweil In a past interview, Cameron once said, “I think technology is a really terrifying thing and it is going to cause a lot of problems for our society, socially.” Maybe she’ll feel better after reading Kurzweil’s “glass half-full” approach to our society’s reliance on technology.  $13.60 at Amazon.com
	Freeloader Pico Solar Charger The eco-friendly actress is a known environmental advocate and vocal supporter of the Act Green charity, so we think she’d love the Pico Solar Charger. As long as there’s light, this compact solar charger can power up a phone, iPod, GPS, or just about any other mini-USB device.  $39.99 at ThinkGeek.com
