Cameron Diaz enjoyed an evening out with Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin last night (22.10.12).

The 'Bad Teacher' actress joined her long-time friend and the Coldplay singer in Los Angeles' upmarket Brentwood neighbourhood as the trio indulged in sushi and drinks while they chatted to each other.

Following the meal, Cameron drove off in her Aston Martin car, while Gwyneth and Chris - who have been married since 2003 and have two children, Apple, eight and six-year-old Moses - drove home in their own motor after a rare night out of being photographed together.

Cameron and Gwyneth were spotted laughing and joking with each other when the 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' star had her arm draped over the 'Iron Man' actress' neck while Chris walked behind the pair.

According to reports, Gwyneth and Cameron have grown even closer in recent months as Gwyneth has set her sights on trying to find a perfect man for the 40-year-old beauty.

A source recently explained: "Gwyneth is a nurturer. Cameron is bummed about being single, so Gwyneth sees her as a project. She's trying to set her up with guys!"
