Case in point: Cameron Diaz, who has most recently been spotted "holding hands" with Entourage star and professional party-goer Kevin Connolly. And it seems like only yesterday when Diaz made out with Jason Patric on a beach, and only last week when Diaz was linked to 300 star Gerard Butler. And the list has gone on and on — Criss Angel! Djimon Hounsou! — ever since long-term boyfriend Justin Timberlake headed for curvier pastures last year. We take a closer look at the self-professed "boy-crazy" Cameron's evening with E after the jump.

As Janet Charlton reports, Cameron and Kevin's alleged fling began over the weekend at a party thrown by celebrity hanger-on Ron Burkle: "Kevin obviously has a thing for tall blondes because he was deep in conversation with Cameron Diaz all evening. They were holding hands when they left together." All of these flings seem to indicate that Diaz is joining the boy-crazy bachelorette club, currently headed by Kirsten Dunst and Jennifer Aniston.The question is this: are these revenge-flings? Or should we just assume these girls are exactly what Gloria Steinem and Erica Jong had in mind for single women? We'll just wait until Diaz returns the very long and detailed voice mails we left on her publicist's assistant's assistant's office phone. Should be any minute now.

<![CDATA[Leo DiCaprio Accosts Katsuya Patron For Rogue Blackberrying]]> leo-nbc-pw.jpgPrivacyWatch celebrity sightings are submitted by our readers, and are posted several times a week, so send them in often. Submit yours to tips[AT]defamer.com (please put "sighting" or "PrivacyWatch" in the subject line so we don't lose them) and tell everyone about the time Mike Tyson whipped out his own camera at the Farmers Market to request a photograph of you.

In today's episode: Leonardo Dicaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Avril Lavigne; Halle Berry and Yeardly Smith; Demi Moore; Forest Whitaker; Djimon Hounsou; Dolly Parton; Lily Tomlin and Teller; John Krasinski and Kevin Sussman; Chris O'Donnell; Jason Bateman; Kelis and Nas; Kim Kardashian; Scott Baio; Mike Tyson; Illeana Douglas; Zachary Quinto; Vincent Gallo and Thurston Moore; Andy Dick; Michelle Rodriguez; Michael McDonald and Andrea Bowen.

· 8/22/07 10:05pm - Brentwood - So I'm at Katsuya where on one side of my table is Leo Dicaprio, Tobey Maguire and random actor guy I've seen in some things but have no idea what his name is and on the other side is Avril Lavigne. Leo actually scolded me while I was using my blackberry telling me, "don't use that" pointing to it where I promptly rolled my eyes and kept texting. I guess paranoia is rampant post growing pains. I mean, c'mon no one in the room even looked up from their kiwi-flavored scallops with yuzu vinaigrette at him. I also don't want to point fingers or anything but when my friend went into the one toilet unisex bathroom right after Avril it was totally clogged where my friend came back to our table saying "I'm not getting blamed for that mess." I'd love to see that in US weekly's "they're just like us!" section.

· This may be too late but last Friday, the 17th, my wife and I had the most amazing dinner at La Terza on 3rd street. Dining next to us was Halle Berry with her enormous white male model boyfriend and some rumpled old dude. That would have been amusing, but sitting behind us was none other than the voice of Lisa Simpson, Yeardly Smith. Good thing I spent all that time watching "Herman's Head," or I wouldn't have known what she looked like! Anyway, who cares, the food was out of this world, Gino was in the kitchen and all I could think about while eating the most amazing roasted pork belly was "Trading Places."

· So, today (Aug. 21) I went to see "Superbad" at AMC CC. When I got into the the theatre, I saw that basically 2/3rds of a row was taped off with signs on the chairs reading "reserved for a birthday party." Interesting—the last time I saw seats taped off like that, it was for Bruce Willis & entourage at Pirates 2. My friends and I sat down in the remaining seats in the row. And, sure enough, when the lights went down, in came Demi Moore and the youngest Willis girl and her teen friends. No sign of Ashton or Bruce. When the movie was over, they dashed out so quick before the lights came back on that my friends didn't get to see Demi. At this point, I just want to know what kind of deal the Willis clan has with that theatre...

· On Wed, 8/15, lunch hour rush at Jerry's Deli across from Cedars, I alerted my out of town guests to keep their eyes peeled for celebs on lunch meetings. We were about to leave, and Forest Whitaker rolled up to the valet in an off-white Chrysler 300 (y'know, the baby Bentley). I would respect his privacy and not report it, but hell, Jerry's at noon? He wanted to be noticed.

· Aug. 21: Djimon Hounsou at the WeHo Equinox. Little bit of white in his goatee. Must be from all that give-me-an-Oscar fence-rattling.

· Aug. 23: Over here in Muppetland, aka the Jim Henson Studios, it's been a fun day. The Queen of Country, Dolly Parton stopped by looking fantastic.

· Thursday 8/23 Formosa CafĂ© - Lily Tomlin with a small group. Mostly kept to herself, but saw her craning to look at the old headshots as she walked through. Resisted the urge to tell her that I was obsessed with "Big Business" for about three months as a kid. Also saw Teller from Penn & Teller with another group.

· Sunday at Sunset Junction, I saw Kevin Sussman — aka Walter from "Ugly Betty" (and yes, I needed IMDB for that one) — walking down Sunset just past the exit gates with what I assume was his (kind of pretty) girlfriend. Then, later Sunday afternoon at the movie theater at the Grove, I was behind John Krasinski and a male friend in line to pick up tickets from those automated ticket machines that, for some reason, speak to you in an Australian accent. Anywho, John was dressed in a hoodie (notwithstanding the fact that it was at least 95 degrees outside), and John's friend was wearing extremely tight skinny jeans. I only provide such detail because I haven't had a good celebrity sighting in months, so I may be a little overly descriptive.

· Aug. 22 I'm at lax and chris o'donnell is here on the curb with 100 bags and a black lab. He is also wearing an extremely preppy outfit of khakis, pint plaid shirt, and boat shoes. Shorter than I thought and not really that recognizable. So weird to see the man whose robin costume inspired the first funny feelings in my 12 year old loins.

· On vacation in California last week, and managed a good mix of sightings in two days in LA:
~ Tuesday 8/14: Jason Bateman, filming on Dayton Drive and looking cute in a suit with portfolio bag on his shoulder. He's taller than I thought.
~ Lunch at the Farm: Kelis & Nas having lunch right next to us. Very low-key & polite to the wait staff. She's pretty and he's short (Sawed-off in the words of my boyfriend.) Adorable couple.
~ Kim Kardashian on Robertson leaving M.A.C. and being snapped by the paparazzi. She put a finger up to her mouth, like she was telling the paparazzi to keep her desperate presence a secret, while they took her picture. Please. She had on cute shoes, though.
I Love L.A !

· Last Saturday I was having a please-cure-my-hangover brunch with my sister and step mom at the Beverly Glen Deli and almost did a spit-take with my crab omlette when I spotted "I'm 45 and Single" SCOTT BAIO!! He was with a mixed gender group of mostly attractive, actory looking folks although my sister - who watches his show - claims that none of them are on it. Scott was in shorts and a t-shirt, trying to rock a hipster beachy vibe and was actually pretty cute. He doesn't look 45 at all. Definitely knew the entire place was staring at him and liked it. I couldn't decide if I was thrilled the cameras for his show weren't there as I was feeling pretty rough and not prime-time ready or bummed - who doesn't want to be on TV?

· I was at the Farmers Market last night (Aug. 23) having drinks with a friend. After we finished our drinks we walked through the market and crossed paths with three people near the fruit stand. I said "Excuse me" as I passed in front of them, looked up briefly to see who it was, and almost lost my mind. It was MIKE TYSON.

Now, I'm not a fan of the man, but when you see him and his tattooed face (and it totally looks like facial kudzu, I'm not kidding) in person, it's quite a surprise. I ran over to my friend and asked if she saw who we just passed. She didn't, I told her it was Mike Tyson, and she stopped in her tracks and declared that she had to get a picture with him. We hustled back to the fruit stand where he was posing for photos and my friend asked him if he wouldn't mind taking one with her. He obliged and I took the photo on her camera - no kidding!

But wait - there're more. After I took my friend's picture with Mike, he then took out his camera and said, "Let me get a picture of you!" And there you have it: Mike Tyson took a picture of my friend and me on HIS camera. Hilarious, no?

· Saw illeana douglas as VintageWeave Antiques across from the Grove this week. Obviously walked across the street from the farmers market as she was a carrying a big pink cake box from one of the bakeries there..she was holding it out like it was loaded with spun gold. Very friendly. Embarrassed to say that I got a rise from checking her out because Bug-Eyed Girl has a smokin' body.

· Late Entry - two weeks ago (8/10) I saw new Spock Zachary Quinto at the West Hollywood Trader Joe's. He was dressed stylishly in a WeHo hipster sort of way, skinny jeans, striped shirt, gelled semi-mohawk. He paused to take a picture of the girl he was with as she stuck her face through the cardboard character cut out at the checkout stand. I don't think it was his girlfriend, because I am pretty sure he prefers the men.

· took in a movie yesterday at the new landmark theater at the westside pavillion and afterward decided to scarf up a tasty burger at the apple pan across the street. upon entering and finding a seat, i looked up to see my favorite sleeze-bag actor and baby maker for rent vincent gallo. the "brown bunny" boy was seated alone by one of the registers eating something that required utensils. he had this kinda dazed vacant look as he sat and consumed his gruel or whatever it was in the bowl in front of him. if you did not know who he was, he looked like a homeless guy that finally begged up enough money to actually sit somewhere to get something hot to eat. pretty pathetic.

· Vincent Gallo and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore hanging out together around the bar at the Yeah Yeah Yeah's show at the Mayan Theater (8/22)

· Aug. 22 - Yay! My first real celeb sighting since moving to LA. four months ago. So, I met up with a friend for lunch at the delicious LUCQUES (I recommend the BLTA!) when I spy none other than sitcom-sidekick and Howard Stern guest Andy Dick sitting at the bar (in front of the windows, natch). He looks surprisingly healthy, the hair was a bit darker, no glasses, and he was in the company of two cute boys. I was staring inappropriately and he made eye contact and gave a friendly wave - I wasn't sure if he though he knew me or was just grateful to be recognized. I realized I was probably being rude and went on my way. The end.

· Michelle Rodriguez. Thursday morning. Sitting outside JambaJuice in the heart of Boystown/Weho. Sitting with a pretty young lady. Both in blue jeans & long-sleeve collared shirts (like men wear). Neither wearing a lick of make-up. Girlfriend sitting with legs demurely crossed. Michelle sitting with legs wide open. Leaning forward with one for-arm on the table. Kind of like how you'd imagine McSteamy (Eric Dane) would be sitting with a chick he wants to bang.

· Hey, if somebody can report on Mr. Belding at the Cat and Fiddle, can I chime in on my eehhh sighting as well? Sunset Junction on the Sunday the 19th. Saw Michael McDonald (nah, not of the Doobs / Steely Dan...much to my chagrin)...the one from MadTV. Hes tall, had a few people around him, and did not look in the mood for any Stuuuuaaaart-related requests. Uh, not that I'd do that anyway.

· Saw the girl who plays Julie Mayer (Andrea Bowen) on desperate housewives last night (Aug. 23) in santa monica at some crystal light charity thing. I was shocked to see a young hollywood start NOT out partying. Weird!

<![CDATA[Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Mick Jagger And David Crosby Trade Altamont Memories At The Grill]]> jagger-pw.jpgPrivacyWatch celebrity sightings are submitted by our readers, and are posted several times a week. We're not picky (note semi-regular guest star by Bai Ling), so send them in often! Submit yours to tips[AT]defamer.com (please put "sighting" or "PrivacyWatch" in the subject line) and let everyone know about the most recent time you spotted the Bruckaneer rolling into the Grove.

In today's episode: Mick Jagger; David Crosby; Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons; Greg Kinnear, Justin Chambers, Freddy Rodriguez, Michael Urie, Drew Carey, Rita Wilson, Macy Gray and John Varvatos; Jerry Bruckheimer; Scott Adsit; Maura Tierney; Mike Tyson; Kevin Smith; B.J. Novak; Rachel Dratch; Isla Fischer, Josh Radnor, and Nigel Lythgoe; Dwight Yoakam; Eugene Levy; Dita Von Teese; Pete Wentz; Kevin Corrigan; Joey Slotnick; Phil Keoghan and Bai Ling.

· Wednesday at The Grill: Mick Jagger (who looked f*cking sexy and very respectable) receiving greetings from a haggard but definitely alive David Crosby who was wearing an unfortunate khaki pants/shirt tucked in ensemble that made his beach ball tummy seem even bigger. Jagger was having lunch with a lot of 30 something suited types.

· Early dinner at Kate Mantilini on Saturday afternoon resulted in a sighting of new supercouple Djimon Housou and Kimora Lee Simmons, who are together 13 feet tall. Two little girls went over to their table and Kimora cooed, "Oh, aren't you guys adorable!" Later, Shirley Jones arrived with her posse. Woman be fine. Like, she's straight-up *hot*—not just compared to the other 73-year-olds.

· Had the pleasure of attending the John Varvatos benefit for Stuart House (UCLA Medical Center Rape Crisis Center), and spied a few celebrities over the course of the afternoon:

- Drew Carey just before he went up to emcee the silent auction (VERY nice guy and looking much thinner these days ... laughed when I asked if it would be too "L.A. douchebaggy" to ask for a picture with him)
- Justin Chambers and his lovely bride, Keisha, and their beautiful children ... saw them enter the tents, then spied him again trying on accessories in the Varvatos store. Hella cute in person, wonder if he'll get a bit on Dr. Addison Montgomery Shepherd's spin-off?
- Freddy Rodriguez of "Six Feet Under" fame. Pretty low-key, I'm assuming the woman with him is his wife, Elise.
- Greg Kinnear ... first spotted quickly picking up a couple of items at Varvatos, then later giving an interview near the valet stand.
- Michael Urie (Marc St. James on "Ugly Betty") chilling out and enjoying the Macy Gray show with a friendgirl. Super nice guy, let my friend and I take pics with him.
- Mrs. Tom Hanks Rita Wilson made a brief appearance ... even lovelier in person!

· Saw John Varvatos at John Varvatos, more non-eye-contacty and dismissive than Macy Gray and various other Velvet Revolver-types there to play some kind of benefit concert.

· Saturday Night Double Feature!

I was stopped at a stop sign on my way into the Grove parking-structure maelstrom, letting my dad out of the car to pick up our movie tickets when I saw Mr. Industry Jerry Bruckheimer roll past in a black S-class. He was wearing sunglasses that I'm going to assume were on the pricey side. Does anyone else think he looks like a real-life Simpsons character?

Later on in the Mac store I saw Scott Adsit (yes, I had to IMDB it) from 30 Rock. I just caught him listening to an employee tell him about industry discounts (they exist?) and heard him say that he did, in fact, "work for NBC". As I was walking out I couldn't help notice him flagrantly making out with the blond chick he was with as they were standing right in the center of the store entrance. I admire his form. [ed. note: We think they mean the Apple store, as Adsit doesn't strike us as the "trying to score a discount on lipliner" type.]

· Saturday, 3/10. Edendale Grill/Mixville Bar in Silverlake. I was there to celebrate my birthday with some friends, and we spotted Maura Tierney stalking around the bar. She's quite pretty, but very normal—not all coke-whore thin or anything. However, it wouldn't hurt her to smile—girl's got a negative vibe.

· Waiting to make a left hand turn from Laurel Canyon onto Mulholland... 3-10 Mike Tyson, well-behaved in the passenger seat. Presumably on his way back to the Wonderland Center, "one of the portals to clean and sober living in Southern California."

· Kevin Smith and daughter, once again wearing the big coat and once again buying round dough — this time at Fritelli's Doughnuts in Beverly Hills, filling up a few boxes with the peanut butter and jelly ones.

· B.J. Novak (Ryan from The Office) drinking with assorted hipster friends dressed way more hipster than he was at Bar 107 downtown Sat night (3/10). He had his arm death-gripped around a waifish brunette most of the time, and neither of them were enjoying the $5 PBR tallboy special like they should've been, but he seemed in good spirits and took a photo with some USC sorority girls. Hey, did you hear he's also one of the writers of the show? He is!

· Passed B.J. Novak of "The Office" and a ladyfriend/girlfriend? on their way out of Bar 107 downtown on Sat night. Appeared so much like his character that I expected Kelly to be screaming "Oh my Gawd! Who's this bitch?" over their shoulders as they exited.

· Saturday night around 10:30, Rachel Dratch and a small entourage walked into the Village Idiot on Melrose... she seemed to be having a really good time and attracted a small crowd around her. She's absolutely TINY.

· Sunday, March 10, Global Warming Sunday, Cat & Fiddle: Josh Radnor (Ted on How I Met Your Mother/The Doogie/Willow Show), lowkey with a cute blonde. Nigel Lythgoe from American Idol and So You Think You Dance and 90% sure we saw Isla Fisher from Wedding Crashers/Borat's fiance.

· Dwight Yoakam, Thursday (3/9) night on Melrose, in a little clothing shop just down the block from the Village Idiot. He be tall.

· Eugene Levy at Ivy at the Beach on Ocean Blvd in Santa Monica today (3-10). He looked confused, but didn't stick around seeing as the restaurant was chock-full of screaming babies.

· Spotted - Dita Von Teese at Fred 62, Sunday afternoon with a group of arty looking friends. Overheard her friend complaining about someone "directly stealing lines of dialog from a film"... whatever that means.

· Saw Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz at Ralph's on Western yesterday. He was getting onto the parking elevator with friends and some up and comer was giving him a business card. Pete looked very cool and didn't blow the guy off. He even smiled!

· Kevin Corrigan looking not nearly as creepy in person as he does in films, on Larchmont Blvd. this afternoon (3/9). Actually he could almost have passed for clean-cut.

Looking even crazier than he did on "The Single Guy" and "Nip/Tuck", Joey Slotnick (yes, I had to IMDB him) was hanging out at Peet's on Larchmont yesterday. He had some strange goatee thing going on.

· Spotted at Mozza Tuesday night, Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan with a large-ish group. They seemed to be having a great time. I overheard Phil taking about "all the times" his book was rejected, but he sounded pretty chipper so it must have gotten bought eventually. He looks just the way he does on the show: friendly and handsome, yet still somehow mildly dorky (in a good way).

· Yesterday (3/11) I saw Bai Ling. I was in the very long but quickly moving line at Pinkberry on Lincoln and she was sitting outside of the Starbucks next door. Her seat was so far from the Starbucks door she was almost in the line with us. Anyway, I wasn't sure it was her at first because she was dressed ummm... casually? In all black (mind you it was 80 degrees out) and calf-high black cowboy boots. She was texting or playing a game on her phone. After a few minutes (from the time we got there) a nice, and normally dressed man came up to her for what I can guess was a meeting, they shook hands. I was almost blinded by the sight of her ass when she stood up. Her skirt, if you can call it that, was scary short. That's when I knew it was her. Well, and the man called her Ling, I guess that helped.
