Cameron Diaz and national enquirer make up

National Enquirer reported Cameron Diaz was stepping out on Justin Timberlake.

According to court documents filed Friday, the Enquirer and Diaz are close to reaching a settlement in the $30 million defamation lawsuit that she filed against the tabloid last year over a cover story accusing her of cheating on Timberlake with a producer of her MTV show. Counsel reported that settlement discussions have been productive and that both parties are close to a settlement.

Diaz slapped the magazine with charges of slander and libel after it was reported that she and the producer, Shane Nickerson, who’s married, were seen smooching outside of a Los Angeles sound studio. The offending article, which ran behind the headline “Cameron Caught Cheating,” was published in the Enquirer’s May 23, 2005, issue. The Enquirer responded with confidence at the time of the filing, saying through a spokesman that the tabloid stood behind its reporting “and will defend the suit aggressively in court.”
