Now that we come to think of it, Cameron Diaz is not often to be found amongst the pages of the tabloids or lurking in the gossip magazines.

But that's exactly the way she likes it... and she likes it that way so much that she's decided to tell everyone that that's exactly the way she prefers it to be.

Cameron pitched up at the New York premiere of her latest movie The Box and, according to the Mirror's 3AM girls, has been carping on about how being famous is rubbish and all that.

She said: "Love lives of the famous are distractions from people's own love lives. There are some celebrities who like to sell their own experiences, who are just out front with it.

"And that's something that people can buy. And there are other people who have their moments stolen from them by the media and by the paparazzi. Then millions of readers and TV viewers occupy their time with those stolen moments."

Of course, since Cameron doesn't really appear in any of these pesky gossip columns, we can only assume she's talking about OTHER celebrities who've had their "moments" so heinously "stolen".

But she explains: "If I'm missing from the pages and the blogs and the shows, I don't think that's such a devastation. I don't have to prove anything to anybody. I know who I am. I have my own sense of myself.

"And the things that I do, I do for myself and to challenge myself and to have my own experience."

Sounds like a severe case of sour grapes to us.

No matter how rich or how famous, there's nothing celebs like more than a good old moan...
