Cameron Diaz Threw A Baby Party

Cameron Diaz has thrown a baby shower for Drew Barrymore.

The 39-year-old actress put on a backyard baby shower, complete with bouncy castle for the kids, at her home in Los Angeles last week, which saw 50 guests - including Drew's husband of two months, Will Kopelman - having fun in the swimming pool and gorging on chips and guacamole.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Kids were jumping in a bouncy castle."

Drew - who starred alongside Cameron in 2000 action movie 'Charlie's Angels' - recently admitted she has become addicted to carbohydrates since becoming pregnant, but she doesn't feel like eating any "fancy food".

She said: "I'm a carb queen. I'll always order macaroni and cheese, but I don't want it to be fancy. I want it to be as close to Kraft Services [on set catering] as it can possibly get!

"I love inventive food, but I want the classic dishes to taste like how I remember them. I get a little bummed out when there is too much fancy stuff going on and it doesn't resemble the original dish at all."

Drew tied the knot with art consultant Will in June after he proposed to the brunette beauty in January. It is Drew's third marriage after she was wed to Welsh bar owner Jeremy Thomas between March and April 1994 and then she tied the knot with comedian Tom Green in July 2001 but she filed for divorce from him before the end of the year.

Cameron Diaz Writing Nutrition Book

Cameron Diaz is writing her first book.

The 39-year-old star is penning a tome about the importance of nutrition and staying healthy for young girls after gaining inspiration from her friend Gwyneth Paltrow's weekly lifestyle journal Goop!, which sees the actress provide wellness tips, recipes and fashion advice.

A publishing source said: "Cameron has become very close to Gwyneth and it's been very interesting for her to see what Gwyneth is doing with Goop!.

"She's been inspired by Gwyneth and the way she uses her fame to influence and help people. Now Cameron wants to do the same."

The 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' actress started to think more about living healthily following the death of her father 58-year-old father Emilio Diaz from pneumonia in 2008 - but the blonde beauty is keen to ensure the book - which will feature advice from celebrity pals Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth - is not perceived as a diet guide.

The insider explained to E! Online: "Everything changed for Cameron after her father died. She realized what is important and started to think more and more about her health.

"This book isn't about her. And it's not a diet of any kind. Of course, it's her own journey that has helped her realise what's important, but she wants the book to appeal to everyone, and not just be about her own food choices."

As well as writing a book - which is yet to have a working title - Cameron is also planning to visit schools across the US to find out what teenagers enjoying eating and ensure they are making healthy food choices.

The source added: "She wants to use her celebrity to make a difference. She knows she is a role model to girls and she really wants to use that position to do good.

"Cameron is going to be visiting high schools around the country to talk to teenagers about their food choices and what is important to them.

"She wants them to know that being thin should not be their priority, it's about getting the right vitamins and knowing what foods will give them energy and keep them strong. She wants to get their feedback, learn about how they decide what to eat now, and teach them to make more informed choices."
