Many outlets, some even highly legitimate, repeated a rumor that Cameron Diaz is now “dating” Keanu Reeves.

The Sun, among the first to kick off the rumor, reported that the two were at The Whisper Lounge in L.A., where a spywitness said, “They looked very cosy.” The tab went on to say Diaz and Reeves then went to the movies.

Call a caterer, get a band . . .

Oh wait, let’s look at the facts. Well, Reeves and Diaz are friends who starred together in “Feeling Minnesota.”

But maybe they were on a date?

Well, Gossip Cop figured out where this rumor originated. It all came from a simple sighting on People.com the day before. The item read: “Cameron Diaz and Keanu Reeves, grabbing drinks with a female companion at The Whisper Lounge at West Hollywood outdoor shopping mall The Grove. The two sipped pinot noir during their friendly-looking 45-minute meeting.”

That’s funny. The Sun and the other outlets didn’t mention the other “female companion,” possibly because it would have ruined that whole tale about it being a “cosy” (sic) date rather than, as People reported, just “friendly-looking.”
