Cameron Diaz can't seem to stop stumbling into sticky situations. Just days after she sparked an international incident in Peru with her unwise choice of accessory, the star has found herself in the middle of Criss Angel's very public divorce battle.

The New York Post reports the hirsute, highlight-loving prestidigitator (real name: Christopher Sarantakos) materialized Friday at a New York courthouse, where Joann Sarantakos, his seemingly surreptitious spouse of five years, accused him of "mental cruelty and abandonment" and of having an affair with Diaz.

Mrs. Sarantakos alleges Angel kept their marriage under the radar to boost his appeal, enigmatic though it might be, a charge her father echoed to reporters.

"When his career took a jump forward, he became a different person," he fumed of his son-in-law. "He's in love with himself. He's a narcissist ... My daughter was never acknowledged as his wife. He told her it was a better single image, than a married image."

Now, that "single image" could land Diaz, whom Angel was first spotted cuddling with in May, in the thick of divorce proceedings.

"We're naming Cameron Diaz as his lover," Sarantakos' lawyer informed the court. "We will subpoena her as soon as she comes back to New York." (No word on whether Minnie Driver and Paris Hilton, who were previously linked to the illusionist, could also end up being served.)

But the moneybags "MindFreak" star not only disputes his wife's claims that he's been less than forthcoming with financial support (his attorney labels the allegations as "simply not accurate"), he also tells OK! that the accusations in the divorce filing are "preposterous" and "completely fabricated."

"If you look at when I met Cameron and when [Joann] filed for divorce -- which is more than a year ago -- you'll see that the two have nothing to do with each other," he explains to the magazine. "Cameron is my friend and is unfortunately dragged into the mix of this because of people trying to perpetuate their career."

Continues Criss, "When the truth comes out ... everyone will see their devious scheme and will understand what their whole motive truly is. The world will see that I am a man of integrity and of my word. We will see what her true motive is."

Seconds Diaz's rep to People, "When Cameron met Criss Angel in May of this year, he had been separated from his wife for over a year and she had already filed a petition to divorce him in 2006."

Besides, the spokesman adds for good measure, "Cameron and Criss went on only four dates over a month ago and have no current relationship."

No word on whether Angel's inability to keep his cakehole from conjuring up cringe-inducing sentiments about Cameron played a role in her supposedly saying "abraca-pocus" and making the romance disappear.

"I'd like to dedicate this escape to my girl 'Trouble,' aka Cameron. I love you baby," Criss clunkily announced after his recent Times Square stunt involving a suspended, cement-encased cube. "Have a safe trip to Europe for your 'Shrek' tour."
