Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez (Splash News)
A-Rod may be her favorite athlete, but baseball is hardly Cameron Diaz’s favorite pastime.
“Sex is my favorite sport,” Diaz gushed while promoting her new movie, “Bad Teacher.”
“Sex is the sexiest word in the English language,” she says in the June issue of Maxim Magazine. “Just the word is sexy to me. There’s something to it, don’t you think?”
Diaz, 38, who is cast as a foul-mouthed school mistress in her new comedy, said she is high on life but down on marriage.
“I don’t think we should live our lives in relationships based off old traditions that don’t suit our world any longer,” said Diaz, who insists she still believes in romance .
Of her hookup with Alex Rodriguez, Diaz says, “It’s really awesome. Guys need women who challenge them and don’t let them get away with their s- -t.”
And what gets her in the mood?
“I’m always in the mood,” she said.
