Cameron Diaz and Jude Law smeared their Hollywood glitter all over Manhattan yesterday in support of The Holiday, their new romantic comedy co-starring Kate Winslet and Jack Black. The Nancy Meyers-directed film, which features Diaz's well-worn booty-shake dance and Law's best forelock-tugging Hugh Grant impression, premiered last night at the Ziegfeld Theater, with an after-party at MoMA.
Black was nowhere to be seen, nor were Sam Mendes (Winslet's husband, whose play, The Vertical Hour, opens today in New York), Justin Timberlake (Diaz's longtime paramour), or Sienna Miller (Law's on-again, off-again squeeze). Law arrived with a wingman, however, in the person of bodyguard Perry Taylor, best known as the "manny" who once cared for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's offspring (Taylor has been guarding Law since earlier this fall). Ever the Naval Academy gentleman, Taylor actually blushed when asked about the breakup of his fomer employers, only hazarding to say, "They are both great people." Um, right.
