Life & Style reports that Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz had a date.

Cruise attended Diaz's 40th birthday party at the Coworth Park hotel outside London on August 30.

"A beautiful setting, fabulous food, a happy occasion -- the perfect sparks to ignite the flames of a new romance," explains Life & Style.

"I could see them hooking up, absolutely," a Diaz "pal" tells the tabloid, which continues "a love connection between the two mega celebrities wouldn't be as surprising as it sounds."

The friend adds, "They've always gotten along really well; they're totally tight. Cameron says Tom is an awesome guy."
