Before meeting her forever beau Benji Madden, Cameron Diaz dated a slew of Hollywood A-listers including Justin Timberlake and Alex Rodriguez, but it's safe to say nobody else compared to the rockstar in the blonde bombshell's eyes.

Cameron, 50, even revealed to Harper's Bazaar that she could have never imagined walking down the aisle after turning 40 if it wasn't for meeting the TV judge: "I didn't think it was something I'd do, and I don't know if I'd have done it if I hadn't met my husband. It was a surprise," she explained.
