Cameron Diaz attended CinemaCon (the land of bad lighting) to promote The Other Woman with Leslie Mann. Cameron’s wearing a Victoria Beckham dress, which is designed to make it look like a pleated slip is swinging free. Leslie fared slightly better in a yellow Oscar de la Renta dress. These ladies are hamming up the BFF vibe for their movie. I wish Kate Upton was available for the event, and I bet producers agree.
Cameron is good friends with Gwyneth Paltrow. The topic of Goop’s love life is everywhere right now, and Cami fielded some questions. She sounds like a loyal friend even though I’m not sure Goop deserves such enthusiasm. Cami drank the Goopy kool-aid long ago, so her supportive vibe isn’t shocking. Is Goop really “brave” for announcing her divorce as a “conscious uncoupling“? Cami thinks so:
Gwyneth Paltrow’s BFF Cameron Diaz is opening up about her split from Chris Martin.
Just two days after Paltrow and Martin announced they had separated, Diaz says the former couple made the right decision and are doing just fine.
“For both Chris and Gwyneth, I mean they worked really hard,” Diaz told E! News exclusively today at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. “People want them to blow up and it to be ugly, but they’re kind, generous, loving people who really care about one another. Just because they don’t want to be a couple together, doesn’t mean that they have to hate one another. They are really good friends.”
Diaz continued, “They’ve made a conscious effort to separate the part of their lives they don’t want to live together anymore, and maintain a really beautiful, strong bond as parents and as friends…I think people should really honor that and they should admire it and they should respect it. They’ve done something really extraordinary, and they’ve been very brave at presenting that to the public.”
Diaz added of her pal, “She’s doing great. They’re doing great.”

I won’t give my opinion on the Goopy split in detail except to echo the majority opinion: Goop’s annoucement was pretentious as hell. It was a “my divorce is classier than your divorce” announcement. Goop couldn’t even stand to sully her run-on paragraphs with the word “divorce.” She had to fancy it up and make it sound expensive. Which it probably will be for Chris Martin.
Cami did what she was supposed to do as a friend. She supported Goop’s decision in public and echoed her friend’s sentiment. It remains to be seen whether Gwyneth and Chris will remain kind to each other. Right now it’s all talk and big words, which doesn’t seem “brave” at all.

I don’t see anything brave or extraordinary about it. They’re separated but trying to be good co-parents to their kids, something millions of divorcing people try to do. It’s certainly better than using the kids to fight with each other, but let’s not make it out like it’s heroic.

I actually think it is quite brave. It takes courage and trust and in many cases, an immense effort on both sides to remain friendly and matter-of-factly for the kids. I admire that deeply in every former couple who manage, famous or not.
ITS NOT A DIVORCE! Jeez. Its an unconsciously conscious uncoupling and deveining!
“Brave” to announce it on GOOP, and give her website some extra traffic? Um, no. That’s not the word I would use.
Describing this as brave is ridiculous.
+1,000,000,000,000,000….I can’t put enough zeroes down. Of course it’s expected that she defend Gwyneth, but the fontrum and preciousness… gah… vomit, vomit, vomit
Can we ban all actors from using the word brave? Until one of them is dangling from a ladder rescuing someone from a burning building, I don’t think any of them have a CLUE what it means.
Brave is a woman with children and no means of support who leaves an abusive husband and moves across country to start a new life completely on her own. Gwyneth is an over-indulged, self-absorbed twit who will continue to live a very pampered and comfortable lifestyle. To call her brave or feel even an iota of sympathy for her is laughable.

Cameron needs to read the posting where Goopy trashed working moms; Oh, that’s right, Cameron essentially inhabits the same world of the Goopster.
^ This!!!
Well said!
“They’ve made a conscious effort to consciously uncoupling.”
There you go, Diaz. I have fixed it shorter in the way GOOP would want it to be worded.
Hey, you changed the script! That was written for her by GOOP, no?
Describing 99 percent of the things celebrities do as “brave” is absurd.
Ha! I totally agree
Nothing mystical about it. They grew apart or never should have been together in the first place, they were incompatible, they fell out of love, each went their separate ways while still in the marriage, they grew tired of the facade, and called it quits.
That’s it in a nutshell. They aren’t any more evolved or brave than millions of people who decide to divorce, but don’t hate each other, because the relationship was equally stale and unfulfilling for both. It wasn’t brave that it was announced. There was no way around the announcement, since the blog was about her personal life.
Thats exactly what I was going to say. Its certainly a lot easier and more amicable to divorce when both couples have been over it for a long time. I cant really say I pay either one much attention but it was obvious they weren’t a very close couple for a long time. I think the divorce is just a formality at this point. You can describe it will all the big fancy words you want but I dont see any special kind of divorce technique happening here.
I also think Goop has been planning this a long time too. Never did understand why she was suddenly everywhere like on Glee and all that. Seemed like she was trying to attach herself to whatever was hot at the moment to get back in the spotlight and now she’s everywhere. I really cant imagine to many actually caring any more about this any other than tabloid fodder.
We don’t even know if they will not hate each other – it’s early … Let property settlements and custody arrangements commence an then let’s see how friendly they remain. I mean- not hoping against or anything but let be real – it’s early times yet.
Or the guy just wanted his balls back. Just sayin.
I like the photo of Cam and Leslie, that’s all I got..
Yes, they look cute. I haven’t been paying much attention to this movie. Are you going to see it?
Probably, but I’ll wait until it hits RedBox. You?
Same, I wouldn’t go to the theater to see it, but it looks cute to watch at home.
We will check back in 5 years and see then if it’s actually an amicable split. THEN we can congratulate them. Plenty of divorces start out amicable then get ugly and vice versa.
I’m not a Goop fan, but I thought it was nice that Cami supported her friend. Maybe “brave” was ott, but divorce is sad and difficult, no matter who you are, and you need your friends. I hope for the sake of their children, the couple can live up to and maintain this scenario they’re putting out there. I feel for the kids.
+ 1 Diaz is being a supportive friend.
Eh, I think it makes the couple divorcing sound a little desperate if their friends have to speak up for them–while promoting a movie, at that. It’s YOUR divorce. If you want people to know you’re doing well, issue a press release–don’t have your friends talk about it….especially when you made the announce like three days ago. What’s the difference between now and then, that you all of a sudden need to reassure your fans that you’re doing good?
I think the backlash is on her ‘precious’ statement about the newfangled divorce methodology, which she didn’t call a divorce, had people’s heads exploding, and so Cami probably felt bad about the public response to it.
I don’t think Cami is the sharpest tool in the shed, but I believe she is big-hearted.
I highly doubt she asked Cameron to say something on her behalf. Diaz was probably asked about it and responded in kind.
I guess it’s just me–I wouldn’t say anything about a friend’s divorce during an interview, unless they gave me permission–and even then…probably not.
I’m with you. I would never say anything. It was really strange imo, and a very looooong comment….Like she rehearsed it.
Actually, I don’t even get why a reporter would ask about another person’s divorce….Other than to possibly get some dirt.
I actually like Cameron’s dress. But that’s neither here nor there.
Gwyneth’s announcement was pretentious…you’re absolutely right. And there’s nothing brave about it. Going on as a single parent, that’s brave…but millions of people do it everyday!!
If there ever was a brave celebrity…Christopher Reeve. End of story.
I like her dress, too. Not sure about the slip showing thing, but it fits beautifully and looks very pretty on her.
Agree completely about CR. He handled his tragedy with such courage and dignity.
I’m loving Cami’s hair and make-up! That dress is super cute, too! Looking good!
I am too. Cam was looking really great all through her book promo tour too. I think she stopped doing whatever she was doing to her face.
“Brave” is a woman who flees an abusive marriage and has to hide in a shelter, without income or resources, in order to save herself and her children. This does not describe the Paltrow-Martin “conscious uncoupling”. Cameron needs to talk about her movie instead.
^^^this! I was going to say the same thing! My sister was brave when she left her horrible abusive husband and took her 2 girls with her! Not this pretentious twat
How would she know?
She’s a wealthy woman who is amicably, as far as we know, splitting from her husband. There is nothing brave about that. It’s actually just another example of how fortunate she is. Brave is leaving an abusive relationship, or picking up the pieces and leaving someone who has broken your heart, or died. Gywneth isn’t brave. She is very, very fortunate.
This.
And let’s not forget-they were both (allegedly) cheating on each other with multiple people. I don’t think that’s “brave” either.
Weren’t they already living separate lives for the most part? The
only we saw them together was when out with their kids. Cameron is
being a supportive friend but this situation is anything but
brave given the alleged infidelities on both sides. Their
marriage was sort of a joke at this point anyways, wasn’t it?
I don’t know if the wives of the men Goop chose to fool around with would see it that way.
I’ll give credit to Cameron for supporting her friend. That’s the only nice thing I can think to say.
Yeah, well…. I consciously uncoupled before conscious uncoupling was cool AND I went to Krispy Kreme this morning during rush AND IT IS RAINING. Suck it, Goop. I’ll take my Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction now, please.
Ha! You should be commended!
Everyone who divorces goes through a lot. In fact, however, people like Goop and Chris, with all the money in the world, have it a lot easier than most people. Diaz is being kind, so good for her. But then combine this statement with Goop’s interview stating that working an office job is easier than hers, and you have the answer to why Goop is so hated.
Yeah–I just have to say this. I was getting fired up about people blaming Goop for the end of the marriage–because unless it’s a case of abuse, the ending of a marriage isn’t just ONE person’s ‘fault’–it’s both of you–the majority of the time. But then Goop comes out with that bs statement, and I learned stuff about Chris–
I only knew that he was a rockstar, in a band that I’d heard of, but never listened to—and that was it. Because I was all ‘she wasn’t pretentious, et al’ when he married her i.e. he was fine with it. But now that I know he had ZERO game with women, I can see why he fell for Goop HARD. And I sort of don’t blame him. Sometimes we get with people that are clearly wrong for us–but they were both cheating, so who knows?
I’m just amazed that Goop’s rep for cheating doesn’t come up as much. If it wasn’t for this site, I wouldn’t have known anything about her other than her work.
So, will Handler be trashing Alexa Chung in an effort to support her friend Gwyn? Supporting a friend is great, and divorce is hard, no matter your means or place in society, but it is hardly “brave” in this instance.
Sorry but going through a divorce is painful and therefore, you have to be brave.
Cameron is doing an awesome thing supporting her friend. She has ALWAYS been known as one of the coolest and nicest people in Hollywood.
Hmmm maybe Cameron should consciously uncouple from Goopy and be BFFs with Leslie Mann instead
Cameron Diaz has extraordinarily bad taste in all of her relationships, whether romantic or not.
You make an interesting point.
Unless there is abuse divorce should not be an option. They had kids, the kids should come first. Divorce screws kids up. I dont care how amicable it is. Ppl get married because the relationship is getting old, then they have kids because the marriage is boring, then they split up. There’s always the exception of course but it’s very rare that there isn’t some effect on kids.
She’s wearing Victoria Beckham’s dress from her new collection. Looks a bit too small on her. I wonder if you can find a size 6-8 of VB’s brand…
lmao @ divorce being extraordinary and very brave. What a crock of shit.
GOOD LORD! What’s brave about announcing a split ? What’s the alternative ? Not announce and start dating other people? Give me a break. No bravery required with their money: no struggle to financially handle households and transporting kids to and fro, no worries about loss of spousal income. FFS brave it is not.
Cameron looks really beautiful lately. I wonder what she is doing?
Cameron is wearing a wedding ring??
