Cameron Diaz was spotted out and about in Las Vegas with magician/illusionist Criss Angel a few weeks ago. She seems to have met him while she was on a vacation in the gambling capital with her best friend Drew Barrymore.

In case anyone was wondering if they were casually dating or getting serious, Angel made it clear that he’s anxious to let the world know that Cameron is willing to be seen with him. He name-dropped the actress after his successful stunt escaping from a glass block encased in concrete in Times Square, saying “I’d like to dedicate this escape to my girl ‘Trouble,’ a.k.a. Cameron. I love you baby. Have a safe trip to Europe for your Shrek tour.”

I was hoping that after that Cameron would wise up and keep her distance from the guy. Either the sex is too good or she’s not bright enough to realize he’s milking their relationship for publicity, because paparazzi agency X17 says she’s now on vacation with Angel in an undisclosed location.

The news that Diaz is still with Angel is even more shocking considering that a woman who says she’s Angel’s secret wife has just filed for divorce from the magician. Joanne Sarantakos is mighty pissed that her husband not only never acknowledged her, claiming it would be better for his career if he was single, but had a very public affair with Diaz:

The “secret” Long Island wife of kooky magician Criss Angel yesterday accused him of having an affair with Cameron Diaz, claiming their marriage broke down as soon as the TV illusionist got famous and bedded the Hollywood star.

Celebrity lawyer Dominic Barbara - who represents Angel’s wife, Joanne Sarantakos - says he will now subpoena Diaz and have her testify about their romance, in state Supreme Court in Mineola, to support the spurned spouse’s divorce suit on the grounds of mental cruelty and abandonment.

Angel - who changed his name from Sarantakos and moved to Las Vegas after he hit the big time with his TV show “Mindfreak” - kept his wife of five years “as a secret” to increase his sex appeal to female fans, Barbara said.

The couple had a 15-year relationship, he said.

“We’re naming Cameron Diaz as his lover,” Barbara told the court. “We will subpoena her as soon as she comes back to New York.”

Angel’s wife says she hasn’t seen a dime of her husband’s millions, and that he never sent her a check for $7,000 that he promised her for expenses.

I’m wondering why this didn’t come out sooner. Angel was dating Minnie Driver last year, and was even said to be engaged to her. She was said to have broken up with him back in November after he was publicly flirting with Paris Hilton.

It sounds like Angel’s wife put up with it until she realized that she wasn’t going to get any money out of the deal. Whatever happens, it doesn’t seem like this is going to end well for Diaz. The guy seemed like a jerk even before the news came out that he was married.
