Cameron And Justin Marriage: The Initial Publicist Denial

MSN Entertainment scores the first publicist denial of the alleged Cameron Diaz/Justin Timberlake engagement that we've seen, quoting Diaz's rep as saying the rumor "is not true." Paparazzi shutterbugs and tabloid reporters of the world, it's time to start renting your helicopters and getting sized for your undercover cater-waiter outfits, because you're going to a wedding. It's not even worth considering the possibility that the flack is telling the truth, unless the "is not true" quote was preceded by some sort of semantic puzzle that rendered the denial technically not a falsehood. But if a Hollywood publicist were capable of such intellectual gamesmanship, he or she would probably apply those skills to a higher-order vocation where deception is necessary, like being an agent or a DMV clerk.
