Jennifer Lopez has insisted that she and What to Expect When You're Expecting co-star Cameron Diaz get on very well.

The actresses appeared in a joint interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where both laughed off suggestions that they frequently clashed on the film's set.

"[The press said] we wouldn't talk to each other," Diaz recalled with a grin.

Lopez replied: "I was like, 'I haven't even seen her yet! Give us a chance to get in the room'."

Diaz went on to complain that actresses are often unfairly pitted against each other by the press.

"It's always like that. They want women to be catfighting. We live in such a misogynistic, chauvinistic [world], especially the media," she declared. "[We're] always spinning women against one another."
