PLUS: Mayer tells USA Today the relationship is going "awesome"

Body

Jennifer Aniston's BFF says she and John Mayer are still going strong.

"They're great!" David Arquette, 36, told Usmagazine.com at the Dodgers 50th Annual Hollywood Stars Game in L.A. on Saturday.

(See what a body language expert had to say about their romance!)

Aniston was spotted over the weekend with pals in London. Mayer, who has been touring in Europe, plays a show tonight in Birmingham, England.

When recently asked about the romance, Mayer told USA Today, "All I can tell you is that I have made every decision in my life with complete authenticity. My feet are firmly on the ground. If you do things from the heart, it feels awesome."

Mayer, 30, and Aniston, 39, went to a barbecue at Arquette and Courteney Cox's house earlier this month. The foursome got together again at the Omni Peace event in L.A. (Aniston and Mayer's first public appearance) on June 12 to celebrate Cox and Arquette's anniversary.

"It was great," Arquette tells Us. But the actor remained mum past that on his famous friends.

"I tend not to talk about them [because] they're so much in the public eye," he adds.

One topic he couldn't help but touch on? Daughter Coco, 3.

"She's wonderful!" Arquette gushed.

Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas: Romance Heats Up

The couple share a date in Hollywood Monday; the Cheetah Girl tells Us their relationship is “vibrant”

Body

Sure, she got the shocking boot off last week’s Dancing With the Stars, but Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan is holding up rather well — thanks to her new man, her former dancing partner, Mark Ballas.

Performing with his band Almost Amy, Ballas, 21, dedicated a song to “my beautiful Sabrina” at Hollywood hot spot Sugar Monday night.

It wasn’t tough to spot sparks, Bryan, 23, told in a phone interview Friday.

“We’ve gotten so close, and I guess the friendship started from the moment we met,” she said. “Now that the show is over, we definitely couldn’t stand the thought of not being in each other’s lives at this point.”

She added: “You see all this love and chemistry we have? It’s really so vibrant, and that’s really how our friendship and relationship is.”

And though she’s now off the hit ABC show, she’s hardly forgotten.

Cast members showed their support for Sab by wearing Cheetah paw temporary tattoos (a tradition that was Bryan’s trademark) on Monday night’s broadcast.

“[Bryan was] clearly the best dancer in the competition Everyone felt that she sort of got gypped [when she was ousted],” contestant Cameron Mathison, of soap All My Children told Usmagazine.com backstage. “We just wanted to show her a little bit of love.”

Added contestant, racer Helio Castroneves: “I text messaged [Bryan] and said, ‘We missed you this morning.’ She texted back, ‘Good luck!’”

A day after the pair were spotted smooching in L.A., the actress gushes over Gyllenhaal to Ellen DeGeneres.

Body

Are they making it official?

On today’s Ellen DeGeneres Show, Reese Witherspoon finally spoke out about her on-again beau (and Rendition co-star) Jake Gyllenhaal.

When DeGeneres told Witherspoon, 31, Gyllenhaal, 26, was cute, the Oscar winner gushed, “He's great!”

The day before, new photos surfaced of Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal (dressed in matching black T-shirts and jeans) strolling hand-in-hand and smooching at Los Angeles International Airport October 22.

The pair had been returning from Rome, where they were promoting their new film. On October 19, Witherspoon, 31, was spotted resting her head on Gyllenhaal's shoulder while walking through the streets as they enjoyed some downtime.

Looks like the couple may be comforting each other even more from now on: Their buzzed-about CIA thriller bombed at the bomb office, coming in at No. 9 with $4.2 million.

New couple Penelope Cruz, 33, and Javier Bardem, 38, are heating up!

Body

New couple Penelope Cruz, 33, and Javier Bardem, 38, are heating up! They are currently enjoying a romantic vacation in the Maldives islands, and have been spotted kissing on the beach and frolicking in the surf.

The pair showed up to the New York Film Festival recently acting "very touchy-feely,” according to the New York Post’s Page Six.

"They held hands when they thought no one was watching, and she kissed his cheek, and he put his arm around her."

They also showed up with U2 frontman Bono to the premiere party for "No Country for Old Men" at Gabriel's, sat in the back room and left together. Bardem's rep declined to comment.

In July, Cruz shot down rumors they were an item, saying at a press conference for her Mango clothing line: "It's not true. He's a friend and the best actor in the world."

The Spanish actors met 15 years ago on the 1992 Spanish film Jamón, Jamón, and are now shooting Woody Allen's new untitled Spanish film, which also stars Scarlett Johansson and is due out next year.

Cameron Diaz & John Mayer’s Summer Fling!

Seven months after her breakup with Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz has found another singer to swoon over!

Body

Seven months after her breakup with Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz has found another singer to swoon over!

And she's showing him off. When the actress hit NYC eatery Indochine with John Mayer August 14 for an evening of flirting and sipping wine, they settled into a cozy both right in front.

"People did double takes," an eyewitness tells Us Weekly of the pair, who talked, smiled and giggled endlessly.

"It was cute, like they were just beginning dating."

Three days later, it was more of the same as the new couple got touchy while having drinks on the patio of NYC's Bowery Hotel.

Those close to the duo, who met through mutual pals and have known each other for a while, aren't surprised by the pair's PDA; in fact, they wonder what took so long.

"She has always said she was a fan of his music," a Diaz insider tells Us, "and he thinks she's beautiful and really smart."

And the pal adds, "They are both so funny and have a dark sense of humor. It is a natural fit."

But they're not exclusive yet: Mayer, 29 - who recently called it quits with Jessica Simpson - was spotted chatting up a bevy of beauties at NYC hot spot The Box on August 18.

A cautious Diaz, 35, is taking it slow.

"She likes everything about him so far," says the Diaz source. "He's wicked-smart, socially aware and into politics and the environment. But it's very new."

Criss Angel Gives Shout-Out to Cameron Diaz

Noelle Hancock — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 08:18:39 -0400

Celebrity News Dek

Body

Illusionist Criss Angel is either a hopeless romantic or magically good at getting attention. And this was made clear as a crystal ball on Monday when Angel gave a shout-out to his “new girl” Cameron Diaz before he was enclosed for 24 hours in a clear box encased in cement for the ultimate daredevil stunt in NYC’s Times Square.

Just minutes before the cement box closed around him at 7:30 a.m., Angel, 39, announced, “This is dedicated to my new girl. You know who you are. I’ll be thinking of you.”

Says a source, “He didn’t mention her by name, but everyone knew who he was talking about.”

The box was then hoisted 40 feet above the ground, and was scheduled to plummet to the earth exactly 24 hours later.

The following morning, hundreds of fans gathered to watch his escape and a big screen showed Angel inside the box, kicking at the walls and dejectedly holding his head in his hands. When a countdown clock hit zero, the box was sent plunging to the ground, without anyone seeing him emerge.

The crowd went silent, but then erupted in cheers when Angel suddenly appeared atop the screen's nearby scaffolding, waving to the crowd and with his hand across his heart.

After his stunt, Angel turned to the crowd and said, "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."

Angel has been dating Diaz for several weeks. Sadly, the actress couldn’t be there to greet her man as she was already on her way to Europe to promote Shrek the Third, but the couple got some quality time in last week.

On May 30, Diaz, 34, visited Angel at The Post Group, a Hollywood recording studio where the illusionist was completing some audio mixing for his A&E show Mindfreak, before they left to spend a quiet evening together.

“They seemed affectionate; nothing over the top but they were holed up in an edit bay together,” says an insider. “At one point they were holding hands.”

The lovebirds made their first public appearance on May 12, when they hit VH1 Rock Honors together in Las Vegas and later partied the night away with Diaz pal Drew Barrymore.

Two days later they took in a performance of the Cirque du Soleil Beatles tribute LOVE.

The following weekend, the Shrek actress returned to Sin City, where the couple had dinner at Social House and then got cozy on the dance floor at Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

“They really, really enjoy spending time together but they are taking it one step at a time,” a source tells Usmagazine.com. “They both just came out of serious relationships so they don’t want to rush into anything. They are just feeling it out.”

Has Natalie Portman found Saturday Night Love with funnyman Andy Samberg?

A source tells Us Weekly that the 25-year-old actress is dating the Saturday Night Live star, who has also been linked with Kirsten Dunst, 25.

Portman appeared opposite Samberg, 28, in a hilarious rap video mocking her Little Miss Perfect persona when she hosted SNL in March 2006, but she didn’t begin seeing him until after she and longtime on-and-off beau Gael García Bernal, 28, recently split.

“If Andy is dating Natalie, I’m extremely jealous,” Samberg’s castmate, Kenan Thompson, 29, tells Us.

A Portman source has equal praise: “A nice Jewish boy would be good for her.”

Reese's Sweet New Romance

Body

Reese Witherspoon is bringing her type-A game to her love life!

After two months of what one Witherspoon source calls the actress’ “trying out a courtship” with Jake Gyllenhaal after her painful split from actor Ryan Phillippe, a Gyllenhaaal pal tells Us, “it is a definite romance.”

What else would you expect, says another Witherspoon pal, since the actress became determined to win Gyllenhaal’s heart soon after separating from Phillippe October 30.

“Reese was the pursuer and really wanted to date Jake,” says a pal of the Oscar winner, who costars with her new beau in the just-wrapped drama Rendition.

“She’s known him for a while and thought he was intelligent and charming.”

And the feeling is definitely mutual. “Jake doesn’t want a party girl at all,” says a Gyllenhaal pal, who says the relationship blossomed over DVD and takeout nights at home and long talks about movies.

“Reese is perfect because she understands the business and also the importance of family. Plus, he admires her talent, thinks she is beautiful and he respects her values. He respects everything about her actually.”

Catching the eye and winning the respect of one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors was exactly what Witherspoon, 31, needed after her marriage to Phillippe crashed and burned. “She needed to prove to herself that she was sexy and desirable.”

Is Reese really over Ryan? What does he think about his ex’s new love interest? Which Gyllenhaal family member does not approve of the relationship? Has Jake met Reese’s kids?

For more details on the budding romance and the couple’s views on love, check out the current issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands this week.

Rebound fling or the real deal? Pals of Scarlett Johansson – who got together with Justin Timberlake shortly after his breakup from Cameron Diaz – are calling their relationship “casual,” saying that the actress sees this as her ‘single girl’ phrase.”

"They're just having fun," says a friend of the couple, who hooked up after the L.A. taping of his "What Goes Around" video, in which she appears.

Still, longtime Johansson pal Michelle Trachtenberg gives the hookup a thumbs-up. “I love Justin’s music and Scarlett’s really talented,” she tells Us. “So, hey – good times!”

Indeed, Timberlake, 25, and Johansson, 22, already share a lot of common interests.

Like Timberlake, she is also a professional double-threat. Johansson’s rep confirms to Us that the actress, who lives in Manhattan, is currently recording an album of Tom Waits covers.

What about the rumors that Scarlett went after Justin just to irk her longtime rival Cameron? How did Cameron end up bonding with Lindsay Lohan over the split? Does the new couple plan to keep the romance going during Timberlake’s cross-country tour? For more details on Justin and Scarlett’s hookup, pick up the current issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands this week.
