Selma Blaire, an actress and longtime friend of Diaz, dropped an unintentional bombshell about her The Sweetest Thing co-star's career during a chat with the Evening Standard. "I would have liked to do a sequel but Cameron's retired from acting," Blair said, adding, "She's like 'I'm done'." Cue record scratch, right? Blair added, "I mean, she doesn't need to make any more films. She has a pretty great life, I don't know what it would take to bring her back."
Not surprisingly, the internet freaked out at such a casual reference to an announcement Diaz had never actually made. Dubious sources even came out of the woodwork to claim Diaz has been "constantly inundated with film scripts trying to tempt her out of retirement but she's just not interested."
Blair later took to Twitter to try to clarify her comments: "BREAKING NEWS Guys please, I was making a joke in an interview. CAMERON DIAZ is NOT retiring from ANYTHING. And for more breaking news: I am NOW retiring from being Cameron Diaz's spokesperson." Um, call us crazy, but we're still searching through Blair's original quote for anything resembling a punchline. Guess we'll have to wait for Diaz to clear this one up.
