Paul Sculfor dumped Cameron Diaz because he didn't want to be "tied down." The British builder-turned-model - who split from the 36-year-old beauty in May after a year-long relationship - insists it was his decision to end their romance because he enjoys single life too much.

He told Britain's More magazine: "I love being single. It was my choice to be single. It's great to be on my own - you don't want to be tied down, do you?"

Jo Wood has been spotted canoodling Cameron Diaz's ex-boyfriend. The 54-year-old estranged wife of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood shocked onlookers at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London on Tuesday by cuddling and caressing 37-year-old British model Paul Sculfor.

Paul - who split from Cameron last month and has previously also dated Jennifer Aniston - seemed thrilled by Jo's attentions and couldn't keep his hands off her.

Jennifer Aniston is being urged to cut Brad Pitt out of her life. The actress' friends are worried she will never get over her ex-husband if she doesn't distance herself from him.

A source said: "It's not that Courteney Cox and co dislike Brad - quite the opposite. They're all fond of him because he's a pleasant guy to be around. But that's the very reason why he can't be in Jennifer's life - Courteney has told her repeatedly to ditch Brad's number. But it's never going to be that simple - he was her one big love."

Jennifer Aniston's dog has a director's chair on the set of her new movie. The 40-year-old actress is so close to her pet, she brings him to set when she is shooting "The Baster."

A source told the Enquirer: "Norman is important in Jennifer's life, but the crew is fed up with having to dote on him. Jennifer needs him around all the time and she won't stand for him being chained up So the dog has his own chair near the director, and Jennifer also has a doggy masseuse tend to Norman every day."

Jennifer Aniston saves messages from her old boyfriends. The actress - who was previously married to Brad Pitt and has also dated singer John Mayer, model Paul Sculfor and actor Vince Vaughn - finds modern technology has changed dating styles and admits she pines for the old fashioned approach to romance.

She said: "I am not an internet person and it's so unreal to find an honest person online."

Bette Midler has advised Jennifer Aniston to date a racing driver. The "Wind Beneath My Wings" singer is keen for the former "Friends" star to find love and has drawn up a list of characteristics her new man must have.

She said: "She needs an exciting guy, like a race-car driver. I think she needs somebody who cherishes her, but also somebody who's going to give her a run for her money."
