Cameron and Justin are Friendly Exes

For most people, the idea of working with an ex-love is a complete nightmare. Even after the drama is over, years later, it would probably just feel weird to be working alongside someone that you used to bone and “share something” with. Cameron Diaz doesn’t have that attitude when it comes to teaming back up with her ex, Justin Timberlake in their new movie, Bad Teacher.

Yesterday on the Oscar red carpet, Cameron had nothing but nice things to say about her ex and co-star:

“We’re thrilled to have him. He’s the best person for the job. He’s going to be hilarious… He’s clearly a very talented comedian, look at his ‘Saturday Night Live’ [skits]. He’s fantastic, he’s going to be so great.”

Very generous of her, if I do say so myself. Sure, Justin can bring in the laughs on SNL, but I’m not sure if his ability to make me LOL is going to translate on the big screen, especially when he’s next to Justin Segal and Molly Shannon. Still, that’s very gracious of Cameron. It’s nice to see exes who still love each other… Wonder how Jessica Biel feels about that?

  • I think it’s possible to be friends with an ex, but…

    If I was in Cameron’s situation, I would say nice things regardless of how I ACTUALLY felt about my ex. Bad-mouthing him would just end up making her seem angry, or bitter, or whatever.

    My point is, you never know what someone else is REALLY thinking…

  • Yea, I am going to have to call b*llshit on this one too.

    She was beyond p*ssed when he dumped her and immediately started dating Jessica Biel. I recall an ugly screaming Cameron at some after party and the guy who writes that 411 column, over hearing it all and then writing about it.

    No, Cameron has not moved on.

    I suspect she is about to get even.

    • EXACTLY! My theory is that when they were casting the male lead she “casually” suggested Justin and then pushed hard for him (I mean really, who the hell wants to see JT in another movie). You just know she’s thinking she can pull a reverse-Angelina on Jessica
