A matter of mere days ago the internet was abuzz with rumors that Cameron Diaz was dating Jennifer Aniston’s ex, model Paul Sculfor. The pair were seen taking a walk and making out on a beach in Los Angeles on Monday – a classic romantic combination. Later that day, Diaz was photographed driving (with a different man in her car) with a massive ring on her left hand, leading us to wonder if she’s planning on tying the knot.

Cameron Diaz has fuelled engagement rumours by sporting a huge ring on her wedding finger.

The actress appeared to flash the dazzling ring at photographers as she left the Nobu restaurant in Santa Monica yesterday, indicating that her relationship with new beau Paul Sculfor may have taken a more serious turn.

Earlier this week the 35-year-old was pictured looking blissfully happy as she kissed and cuddled the bricklayer-turned-model, who previously dated Jennifer Aniston, during a day out in West Hollywood.

The couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they enjoyed a dinner date before strolling to a nearby boutique.

You don’t exactly go to Nobu when you want to keep things low key and private. That sure looks like an engagement ring to me. If so, congrats to Cameron and Paul! If not… excellent publicity ploy.

The powerful women of the movie industry gathered last night at the Women in Film Crystal and Lucy awards, hosted by Aisha Taylor. Salma Hayek was honored for the success of the show she produces, Ugly Betty. In her acceptance speech she said that 41 was the best time of her life:

“I’m 41 now,” she said while being honored at Tuesday’s Women in Film Crystal+Lucy Awards. “And I have to say, it is the best time in my life.”

That prompted Jada Pinkett Smith – who was also being recognized, along with her costars from the upcoming chick flick, The Women – to shout out, “You look good!”

Hayek – who gave birth to daughter Valentina Paloma last September with billionaire fiancé Francois-Henri Pinault – said she is finally coming into her own.

“I have learned to enjoy time to be a woman. I have learned to enjoy how to do the most that I can with what I have,” the Ugly Betty producer explained. “It is a good thing to be a 41-year-old Latina woman in America.”

She also gave a shout out to fellow Latina Eva Mendes (another star of The Women), who responded with a loud, “I love you, Salma!”

Salma also said she wanted Ugly Betty to be accessible for everyone, with a focus on Latin people. “I wanted it to be different than anything I was seeing on television. I also wanted Latin people to feel excited and proud that there was something on television that sort of belonged to them, but I wanted the American audience not to feel alienated from it.” [via]

Like the Mark Wahlberg quote about the Beckhams we just reported, this story is from the Daily Star and may be based on a tabloid report or it could be completely fabricated. Since it’s Cameron Diaz we’re talking about and she doesn’t have a reputation for being gracious, kind or understanding, I’ll repeat it and not feel guilty about it.

Supposedly Diaz was at an Abercrombie & Fitch when she tried to buy a t-shirt that said “Jesus Goat,” and was told that it was unavailable because it was the last one. She got super pissed and came up with one of the most original insults I’ve ever heard. She supposedly called uncooperative staff “dick fiends.” That’s incredibly inventive of her and adds an element of truth to this story:

Cameron Diaz rowed with staff at an Abercrombie & Fitch store, say reports.

The Charlie’s Angels actress got angry when she was told that she couldn’t purchase a specific T-shirt, which was the last of its kind in the shop.

According to the Daily Star, Diaz, 35, shrieked and stamped her feet in protest. When leaving, the actress allegedly called the staff “d**k fiends”.

The T-shirt apparently had the words “Jesus Goat” printed on the front.

I might get pissed off that I couldn’t have an item that was right there in the store but was somehow forbidden to me. Maybe I wouldn’t yell and curse them out, but I would probably ask to see the manager and wonder why the thing was off limits even though it was on display. It’s possible the shirt was on a mannequin or something. Stores usually let you have buy off the mannequins though if you ask. You wonder if someone thought they would just give Cameron a hard time. In that case there’s a retail employee with an attitude that deserves a raise.

Major points to anyone who can find a photo of this “Jesus Goat” t-shirt. I looked for a while and it proved elusive. (I’m technically on vacation, so if you find the shirt it may take me a little while to post it.)

The romance between Cameron Diaz and Diddy must be casual or over, because she was seen out on a dinner date with Paul Sculfor, the hot British male model who first gained tabloid fame by stepping out with Jennifer Aniston last June. The gossip mill claimed at the time that Sculfor was just using Aniston for her fame and money, and if that was true he may be up to his old tricks again. US Weekly says he had Diaz laughing a lot over their romantic dinner and that she looked “really flirty.” Diaz used to date jabbering John Mayer, who is now dating Sculfor’s ex, Jennifer Aniston, which essentially means they’ve switched partners:

[On Saturday] Diaz went on a dinner date with Aniston’s model ex Paul Sculfor.

The two hit up Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California, Sunday.

“Cameron was laughing at everything he said — she didn’t stop smiling,” an onlooker told Usmagazine.com. “She was really flirty and had three or four of her buttons undone.”

[From US Weekly]

The story we reported on earlier today about Diaz and Diddy at Prince’s party happened last month, and the news is just getting out now. I thought when I first heard this that she might be dating two guys at once, not that there’s anything wrong with that. If you’re famous and dating there must be a way to keep it relatively quiet if you don’t hit the parties and hot spots. You’ve probably got to pick out of the way places, but even then other guests and staff still might blab.

Cameron talked about being single and dating in her much-quoted interview in In Style, in which she exclaimed “I love sex!” She said “People think if you’re single, you are incomplete. No. The thing is, I don’t want to be in a relationship that makes me incomplete.” She also said she’s dating and that it’s not a big deal “I’m a woman. Of course I’m dating. And is that so surprising? Oh my god, she’s dating!”

Paul Sculfor is shown on 4/23/08 at a Fila party. Cameron Diaz is shown outside MTV’s TRL on 5/5/08. thanks to WENN.

In March, we reported a rumor that Cameron Diaz and Diddy were seen out at a restaurant together, taking care to enter and leave separately but sitting very close to each other and looking like they were on a date. At the time, we had just heard of Ashton Kutcher’s bomb of a show, Pop Fiction, and I gave Kutcher a lot more credit than he deserved by assuming that was one of his planted stories.

Diddy and Diaz were probably on a bona fide date because they were seen out again at a party thrown by Prince on Friday. Cameron fed the hip hop mogul some of her dessert and they were busted kissing in the basement. Diddy denies that anything happened, and says they’re just friends:

Diaz had a big hug for Mr. Combs at the Beverly Hills party he threw last month to celebrate his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. More telling was their intimacy at Prince’s house last Friday.

Sly Stallone, John Legend, Eddie Murphy, Babyface and other guests were riveted by the 2 1/2-hour backyard concert the funkster gave to launch his book, “21 Days.” But Diaz and Diddy seemed only to have eyes for each other.

During the show, they laughed and held hands. At one point, while Diddy sipped a Grey Goose, Cameron told him he “must” try her bread pudding, which she proceeded to spoon-feed him. After some whispering, Diddy nodded toward Prince’s mansion.

Once inside, he led Diaz by the hand through its labyrinthine corridors to Prince’s basement. That’s where we came upon the entranced twosome standing in the theater’s doorway. Diddy was bringing his lips toward hers when he realized someone was approaching. Smiling, they closed the theater’s door and locked it. We heard them giggling inside.

Diddy said he and Diaz did not go into a private room at the Sub-Mercer, adding, “It is ridiculous that two celebrities of the opposite sex can’t just hang out with a group of friends without it being reported as more than that. We are just friends.”

[From NY Daily News]

Diaz has an interview in the June issue of In Style in which she enthuses about sex. She said: “Are you kidding? I love men. Sex is the best! …You have to really enjoy [being sexy]. Not fake anything. Sexy is being in the moment, whether that means being coy or coming on hard. Faking is always lame and it never comes across the way you want it to.” [via Huffington Post]

Last year, Diddy claimed to have had sex for 30 hours with his then-partner and the mother of his one and a half year-old twin daughters, Kim Porter. Diddy said they were staying in Paris when they had the tantric lovemaking session.

Now all I can think about is these two having sex. Cameron’s goofy personality coupled with Diddy’s ridiculous bravado can make for some idiotic scenes.

Diddy is shown with his adorable daughters at a park in LA on 5/31/08. Diaz is shown outside of Madeo restaurant on 5/30/08, thanks to WENN.

Cameron Diaz was seen sporting a bald head on the set of My Sister’s Keeper in Los Angeles yesterday. My Sister’s Keeper is based on a novel by Jodi Picoult about a young girl who sues her parents for emancipation.

Mild spoilers follow
Older sister Kate, played by 15 year-old Sofia Vassilieva, has leukemia, and younger sister Anna, played by Abigail Breslin, resents her parent’s decision to have her donate a kidney to her sister. Dakota and Elle Fanning were originally going to play the sisters, but Dakota is said to have balked at the idea of shaving her head for the role.

According to Wikipedia, Diaz plays Sara, the mother of Breslin and Vassilieva’s characters. She shaves her head in support of her older daughter.

Diaz is wearing a cap, according to The Daily Mail, and hasn’t shaved off her shoulder-length straight blond hair.

Cameron Diaz made a triumphant return to the red carpet last night to attend the LA premiere of her film What Happens in Vegas. It was her first public appearance after the death of her father at age 58. Diaz issued a statement after her father’s death and also wrote a longer letter to her fans explaining why she wouldn’t be able to do the press and some European premieres for her new film What Happens in Vegas. She wrote “Due to the loss of my father, I have chosen to be with my family this weekend. But it was important for me to convey to all of you how much I love this film.” She also thanks everyone for their support and said she was screening the film with her family because they needed a good laugh.

Cameron wore a tight short red dress with a flat bow around the stomach and black heels. It wasn’t my favorite outfit, but she gets a pass for what she’s gone through. She looks gorgeous. Her co-star Lake Bell wore a silver metallic dress that was just a tad too short along with tan platform heels. Ashton Kutcher was unshaven and messy in a plaid jacket and polka dot tie. Also shown at the premiere are Eva Longoria, who still looks pregnant to me, Diablo Cody, Brooke Burns, and Bai Ling in a spider outfit. Thanks to PRPhotos.

Here’s the trailer for What Happens in Vegas, which opens in the US on May 9. It looks funny and I love Rob Corddry.

Say what you want about Cameron Diaz, the woman must be good at relationships. Cameron’s father recently passed away at only 58-years-old, and his funeral was held this past Sunday. Three of Cameron’s famous ex-boyfriends showed up to support her: Justin Timberlake, John Mayer, and Kelly Slater all attended Emilio Diaz’s memorial at sushi restaurant Mahe in Seal Beach, California.

“The Sweetest Thing” actress, devastated by the sudden death of her father, was comforted by a pair of former flames at his memorial service on Sunday.

Justin Timberlake, who split with Diaz in January, showed his support at the informal Seal Beach, Calif. service, which started around 1:30 p.m. Singer-songwriter John Mayer, another former beau, arrived separately to pay his respects. They both lingered past 4 p.m., after most of the other guests had left.

The stricken actress asked friends and family to wear colorful clothing in celebration of her father’s life. “Hardly anyone wore black,” one guest told the Daily Mail. “Lots of people were wearing Hawaiian shirts. It looked more like a party.”

[From the New York Daily News]

It sounds like the memorial was really nice, and it’s also a testament to Cameron’s ability to stay good friends with her exes. We all know Justin Timberlake doesn’t necessarily feel obligated to help out a former flame just because she’s going through a hard time. There have been several reports of JT being very protective of Cameron since their breakup.

E! reports that in addition to the Hawaiian shirts, there was also a tent in the back of the restaurant where a taco truck and pizza stand provided food. Instead of flowers, the Diaz family requested donations be made to Emilio’s favorite charities, the Surfrider Foundation and Reef Check. Both work on beach rehabilitation. Hopefully with the support of family and friends, Cameron and the rest of the Diazes will be able to heal.

Cameron Diaz issued a statement yesterday about the tragic loss of her father, Emilio Diaz at the age of just 58. Cameron’s dad was an oil company employee for over 20 years until he retired in 1998. He was battling the flu and developed pneumonia, complications from which led to his death:

“My mom, sister and I are deeply appreciative of the overwhelming outpouring of love and support during this difficult time for us and all of our family,” the actress said in a statement through publicist Brad Cafarelli.

“My dad was loved by so many people and his humor and spirit will always live on in our hearts.”

[From E! Online]

Cameron, 35, her sister Chimene, 37, and their mother Billie are together at their family home in Seal Beach, California surrounded by their friends and family.

Production has stopped on Diaz’s film My Sister’s Keeper and she has canceled a planned appearance at a party for British GQ, where she appears on the cover this month.

Our hearts and thoughts are with Cameron and her family at this tough time. I mentioned in an earlier post about this that my dad is older than that and I can’t imagine losing him so young. That’s a tough thing to go through.

Cameron is shown at the Shrek The Third premiere on 5/6/07, thanks to PRPhotos.

Cameron Diaz has lost her dad Emilio, 58, after an unexpected illness. He developed pneumonia after a bout with flu, and his death was a surprise both due to his relatively young age and the fact that he was in good health prior to his recent illness.

Emilio worked as a foreman at an oil company and lived in Seal Beach, California.

TMZ reports that production has shut down on Diaz’s film “My Sister’s Keeper.”

My father is a little older than 58 and I can’t imagine losing him so young. That’s incredibly sad and our thoughts are with Cameron and her family.
