The Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz Dilemma

By: Shannon Gossage

Despite Cameron Diaz sporting a fat diamond on her ring finger and rumors of an engagement to boyfriend Justin Timberlake, sources close to the couple say it is not true. And the reason it is not true is reportedly that Timberlake’s mother, Lynn Harless, doesn’t like Diaz. It has been reported that Harless does not agree with the nine-year age difference between her son and Diaz.

Timberlake and Diaz started dating in June 2003. The two seemed an unlikely pair at first and have hit some rocky patches over the course of their relationship. Despite all of this they are still going strong and, if you believe the rumors, are looking to make their bond even stronger by saying "I Do." Reportedly, Harless believes that Justin is too young to get married and should look into a long engagement. There are other reports that she prefers pop tart Britney Spears to the much older Diaz.

Now that Spears is off the market, maybe Harless will warm up to Diaz. A source close to the couple said, "Nobody knows why she doesn’t like Cameron; maybe it’s because she thinks no one is good enough for her son. It could be the age thing, too. Supposedly, she wasn’t thrilled when he was dating Alyssa Milano." Maybe Harless should breath a sigh of relief that Demi Moore never got her clutches on Justin. As for Justin…he needs to make his own decisions and not let his mom run his life. If he wants to marry Cameron so be it!
