SNOW DAY

Not even 10+ inches of snow can dampen Cameron Diaz’s newfound happiness, and the 36 yr old actress ventured out on March 3 in NYC. Cam grabbed coffee with a friend before taking a brief stroll and hopping into a cab to get out of the cold. Gazing up at the snowy sky, Cameron looks winter perfect in a navy buttoned coat (like Raw 7’s super warm Cashmere Peacoat in Navy), worn in skinnies (get comfy in Tag’s Skinny 5 Pocket Jean in Medium Stone) and rich brown boots with little heels (try Matiko’s flat Scallop Boot in Brown). Getting cozy in a plaid scarf and slouchy navy cap, Cam carried a chestnut leather tote over her shoulder and appeared to be unfazed by the frigid temps. Some of Cameron’s lesser fans felt the need to smear her for not wearing makeup here, but personally I think Cam’s complexion has been glowing since making the move to the Big Apple. Makes you wonder – is it the city life or being close to her man making her so happy? In terms of her career, Cameron’s next feature flick, My Sister’s Keeper, won’t be released until June, but it’s already stirring up a wealth of controversy. The movie is an adaptation of a novel about a teenage girl who questions her parent’s right to force her to undergo medical procedures to aid her ailing sister, who suffers from leukemia. Fans of the book are outraged because the novel’s bombshell ending was changed for the film, spurring the creation of the Facebook group “Save My Sister’s Keeper!” for fans to voice their distaste. Author Jodi Picoult shared her thoughts, “Having the ending changed would certainly not have been my choice. I wrote the ending very intentionally because I wanted to leave the reader with a certain message. And changing that ending changes that message. However, I am excited to see the movie and to judge it on its strengths.” I wouldn’t be too keen about having my artistic work altered without my consent, but it’s nice to see Picoult looking at it with an open mind. If any of you have read the book, do you think the ending is powerful enough to stay or would you be open to a happier turn of events?
