Diva Cameron Diaz sued National Enquirer for fabricating an affaire with her MTV producer Shane Nickerson, cheating on boyfriend Justin Timberlake. The lawsuit, filed in a Los Angeles court, claims the photographs were used to "create a fictional and fabricated story" which was "hugely profitable" for the tabloid.
The suit seeks at least $60 million in damages - $30 million apiece for Diaz and Nickerson. According to the court documents, the suit claims the published story has not only damaged both of their reputations, but also placed needless strains on their personal relationships.
The tabloid ran 25 photos of Diaz and Nickerson - some of which depicted the two hugging - and featured captions insinuating the pair were an item. The piece further accused Diaz and Nickerson of adultery - Nickerson is married. (Contactmusic).
