John Mayer Defends Britney Spears Lip-Synch

Bang — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:02:10 +0000

John Mayer has defended Britney Spears for lip synching in Australia.

The ‘Gravity’ singer, who is also in Australia promoting his latest album, blasted fans who had called for a refund after the ‘Womanizer’ star’s show in Perth after she sparked outrage by not singing live for her whole performance.

John wrote on his twitter blog, “If you’re shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you.”

Britney, 27, was said to have hid in her hotel room on Saturday, November 7, following her performance on Friday night November 6.

A representative for the star said, “Britney is aware of all this and she’s extremely upset by it.”

In response to the show fans protested about the high ticket prices and “impersonal” nature of the show.

Concertgoer Wendy Di Renzo, 36, said, “It was so impersonal. She did not interact with her audience. There were no big TV screens projecting the action, so if you didn’t know Britney, you might have even doubted it was her.”

Complaints against the ‘Gimme More’ singer also included that she never referred to Perth by name, instead giving a generic welcome to fans, saying, “What’s up Australia?”

Another fan, who left the show early, said, “I want my money back or I want her to sing properly. The ticket cost me $200 and she lip-synched the whole thing.”

Politicians in three Australian states – Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales – have now called for new laws to force music promoters to disclose whether a concert will be live or lip-synched beforehand.

Britney will next perform in Melbourne on November 11.

Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and John Mayer among mourners at a memorial service for DJ AM

Bang — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:00:05 +0000

Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and John Mayer – along with Lindsay’s girlfriend Samantha Ronson, socialite Nicky Hilton and actor Eric Dane – gathered with family and fans at the Hollywood Palladium to pay their respects to the musician, real name Adam Goldstein, following his death last week.

An onlooker said: “The crowd was very hip and eclectic, there were people dressed in smart black suits and people dressed in jeans and T-shirts. It was packed though, you could tell how well loved he was. It was a very sombre and sad crowd.”

During the two-and-a-half hour long service – which was structured like an Alcoholics Anonymous 12 steps meeting – his girlfriend, model Haley Wood addressed the 3,500 mourners.

She said: “He was my soulmate and now he is my soul. He is my amazing grace.”

The memorial venue opened up three entrances, one for family and VIPs and one for friends and one for fans.

The service followed a private burial for 36-year-old Adam – who was found dead in his New York apartment last Friday (August 28) – at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary on Wednesday (September 2).

Although the cause of DJ AM’s death remains unclear, it has been reported he was found with undigested painkillers in his stomach and mouth.

A crack pipe and some of the illegal drug were also discovered near his body, with his representative admitting he was due to go to rehab to battle his addiction.

The musician died with a $1 million estate and no will.

John Mayer wants to bed a tranny

Bang — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:35:12 +0000

John Mayer revealed his desire to be a transexual on his Twitter account in the early hours of Monday morning (August 3.)

He wrote: “I’m going to pick up a wayward tranny on the way home. Not a tranny who knows where she’s going. I’m talking a chick with a d**k who’s lost (sic).”

Almost an hour later, the 31-year-old star seemed to think better of his post, writing: “I can’t believe that last tweet made it past my internal Standards and Practices department.”

It’s not the first time the singer has bragged about his sexual conquests on the internet. Last month, he boasted he had “slept” with nine science-fiction geeks dressed as Japanese manga heroine Sailor Moon at Comic-Con in San Diego, California.

John said: “This weekend at Comic-Con I slept with nine Sailor Moons. Not an easy task when you’re dressed like a Stormtrooper (sic).”

In May, John – who has been single since he split from ‘Marley and Me’ star Jennifer Aniston earlier this year – used the social networking website to brag he had persuaded “dozens” of women to leave red lipstick marks on his
face during a night out in Los Angeles. He wrote: “OK, check it. Just spent the last hour getting the reddest
lipstick on me for a gag. When you see the pics of me leaving the club covered in kisses it’s all a gag.”

John Mayer didn’t want to be compared to Michael Jackson

Bang — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 09:00:46 +0000

John Mayer decided against tackling vocals at the Michael Jackson memorial at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Tuesday
as he didn’t want to be compared to Michael.

“The decision not to sing cam from knowing what’s best for me. I think it’s a mine field to try in any way to replicate vocally what Michael Jackson has done.” John said. “And in a way, it was sort of respectfully leaving an absence, you know, sort of the presence of his absence.”

John, 31, was amazed to be asked to attend the memorial – which also saw performances from Mariah Carey, Usher and Michael’s brother Jermaine Jackson – as he had never met the ‘Billie Jean’ singer. He explained: “The first thing I said was a question, ‘Does this really come from the family?’ I think that was essential to me to be able to process the honor. It took me about 48 hours to strike the balance in how I was going to approach being invited to this unbelievable event without actually having the proximity to Michael Jackson, personally. I’d never met him.”

In case you missed it, here’s the video of John Mayer performing an instrumental version of the Michael Jackson song Human Nature:

John Mayer moves on from Aniston, dating Scheana Marie Jancan

Duncan Riley — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 04:08:41 +0000

Fresh from a Twitter related break-up with Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer is reported to have taken up with Scheana Marie Jancan.

23-year-old Jancan is an occasional model who also managed to be a runner-up in a Hawaiian Tropic Pageant. Mayer is said to have met her at the Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills where Jancan works as a waitress.

A source quoted in Star Magazine spilled the beans: “Scheana was shocked and thrilled when John asked her out. She has always thought he was hot, and she said yes right away, writing down her cell phone number on a napkin.They flirted the whole time, and he told her she was cute.”

Lets hope she likes Twitter

Twitter blamed in Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer breakup

Duncan Riley — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 23:14:01 +0000

The latest split between on-again, off-again Hollywood power couple Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer is being attributed to Twitter!

According to The Telegraph, Aniston split from Mayer after she discovered that while he was telling her that he was too busy to see her, he was busy updating his Twitter account.

A source claimed Aniston decided Mayer was not committed enough to her and called time on their romance having found hourly updates on his Twitter page.

The source said: “John suddenly stopped calling her or returning her emails and when she would finally catch up with him, he’d say: ‘I’ve been so busy with work. I’m sorry I haven’t had time to call you back.”
The source added: “Jen was fuming. There he was, telling her he didn’t have time for her and yet his page was filled with Twitter updates.

“Every few hours, sometimes minutes, he’d update with some stupid line. And in her mind, she was like ‘He has time for all this Twittering, but he can’t send me a text, an email, make a call?’.”

Twitter causes Hollywood split…now that’s headline I thought I’d never be tempted to write

John Mayer Tweets to Squash Rumors

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 19:43:26 +0000

John Mayer might have been watching the Super Bowl with Jennifer Aniston at a private bash in Los Angeles yesterday, but he was reaching out worldwide to slam engagement rumors through humor– and Twitter.

Over the weekend break, John made sure to let us know exactly what he was doing to get ready for the engagement we’ve been hearing about via gossip rag buzz. “Visiting the Diamond Exchange in Tustin,” and “Welding an engagement ring for my girlfriend” were two tweets that popped up this weekend: does he really expect us to believe he was soldering a ring for his sweetheart? John doesn’t strike me as the type.

Is John just messing with the media, or could he actually be trying to throw us off the scent with his OTT Twitter-fests?

John Mayer Does Mariah Carey

Samantha DeWitt — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:46:31 +0000

We know John Mayer has a thing for old women women of a certain age, and this time he has done Mariah Carey. Ok, he covered the Mariah Carey song All I want for Christmas Is You. But it’s not hard to imagine the other is it.

The cover took place during the recent benefit concert at Blythedale Children’s Hospital in New York. You can check out the footage below.

John Mayer reads all his press during regular google vanity searches so to John Mayer, a hospital benefit concert before Christmas, maybe you aren’t the complete ass we all thought you were. Also we are bored with the whole Manniston thing, do something about that, ok?

Jennifer Aniston Doesn’t Want To Talk About Her Relationship

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:36:37 +0000

. . . Or does she? Jennifer’s been making the rounds for Marley & Me for the longest time, thanks to the date being pushed back again (and again), but at least she’s spicing it up with an expletive or two! She and co-star Owen Wilson were interviewed for USA Today, and it sounds like she made him pretty uncomfortable after being asked about the public’s fascination with her personal life:

“I am honestly getting sick of it, and I feel like telling people, ‘You know what? It’s none of your (expletive) business.’ Seriously, it’s enough. It’s like we’re appealing to the lowest …

And this is at a time when we should be so inspired and excited with what’s happening with the president. It’s a time to be positive and join together. We’re just trying to entertain you, man. Don’t shoot the messenger.”

I think she should go the “no comment” route so these things don’t go full-circle. Or we can just wait, because Jen hopes that we’ll realize that she has “a job and [she's...] an actress.” The good actress bit’s going to hang in the balance a little while longer, I think.

This drama does make a movie about a dog seem way more interesting. Mission accomplished, Jen!

Jennifer Aniston Has Moved On. . . Or Not

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:36:44 +0000

Not only is Jennifer still reliving her relationship drama (which may or may not be acceptable, depending on which camp you’re with), but she’s also back to talking about Friends! Oh, the agony: Jen hit the New York Times Magazine to talk about old stuff again, which is a healthy thing to do at this point under extreme scrutiny. Sure.

“There are times I don’t even remember that particular show. This is horrible to say, but there are times when I laugh my rear end off. And I get in debates with people who are over and say, ‘Friends’ is not my thing.’ Excuse you!”

Is Jen still dreaming about her heydey? Maybe dating John Mayer does that to you. What happened to her Marley & Me promotions? I think she should get back to those or just talk more about He’s Just Not That Into You, because I’d be happy with comments about anything post-2004.

John Mayer Denies Being “Angrier”

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:14:10 +0000

It still doesn’t mean he’s not angry, it’s just that he’s not any more ticked than usual: John Mayer took to his blog yesterday to write off gossip board mumblings that he’s been down in the doldrums.

“I am not darker, angrier or moodier these days. In fact, it’s just the opposite. All that’s happened is that I’ve given up on trying to find a way to use unwanted media as a form of entertainment. (It still was worth a try.)”

Does he look like this when he’s not in front of the cameras? No wonder people think he’s mad. Maybe his general vibe has been rubbing off on on-again girlfriend Jennifer Aniston, and he doesn’t even know it.

John Mayer Looked Sad, But He’s Back with Jen?!

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 21:18:48 +0000

John Mayer’s so super-sad, right? Not anymore. It looks like he was just fooling us, because he could very well be back with Jennifer Aniston! Didn’t see this one coming:

“The pair met up Friday in Boston to attend a Ray LaMontagne concert. ‘It was a very public date,’ a source says in the newest issue of Us Weekly. Mayer was in town teaching a week-long music class at his alma mater, the Berklee College of Music. The couple then jetted together to New York City for the remainder of the weekend.”

For heaven’s sake, John, don’t break up with her by text– again. We hope you learned your lesson the first time. I’m sure we’ll be getting all the sordid details no matter how things pan out, since John can’t keep trap shut when it comes to relationships.

Oldie-but-Goody: John Mayer Stays Away from Women

Meieli Sawyer — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:55:12 +0000

An insider told In Touch this week that John Mayer has decided to stay away from the ladies, after his embarrassing relationship end with Jennifer Aniston. Okay, there was that one girl, but he has been hanging out with a lot more guys lately.

“Since his breakup with Jennifer Aniston, he isn’t into anyone,” the insider said. “He’s always just with the people he can depend on. He’s even calling them his ‘circle of trust.’”

Now he can just be a jerk to his bromance buddies instead. Lucky them!

Oldie-but-Goody: I’m Rooting for Jessica, Not Carrie Underwood

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 22:15:03 +0000

In this supposed fight between Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson, I’m going to have to side with Jessica. While the whole “Tony-Romo-is-my-future-baby’s-daddy” is verging on super-gross, it doesn’t mean that a jealous ex should be called you FAT. OK! reports that Carrie Underwood might be paying extra attention to her rival Jessica:

“She finds Jessica’s love of putting her life on display pretty desperate. She laughed at the People cover, because it’s the same one Jess did about John Mayer — same smile, same look, except she’s a little fatter.”

Even though a source close to Carrie said this, so we have no way of knowing if it’s true, I’ve got my eyebrows raised. Jessica’s music sucks enough with the move to country; do we really need to be critiquing the bod as well? She’s nesting!

I didn’t expect to side with Jessica, trust me, but no girl deserves this b*tchiness (if it’s true).

Get Ready, It’s Pete Doherty Porno Time

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:04:21 +0000

Pete Doherty is the worst ex-flame ever, even more so than John Mayer. While John’s flapping his trap all over town, Pete’s planning on debuting a “tell-all biography home video” at an Austrian adult theatre in Gaz. According to a friend who’s already seen the vid, “Some of it is very revealing.”

The grunge factor in combination with sexual factoids about Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse has got to be riveting, in the whole so-terrible-I-can’t-stop-watching way.

Jennifer Aniston’s “Showing Off Her Body”

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:40:30 +0000

If I ignore the conflicting reports (flaunting her single self vs. being engaged), I can concentrate on the ridiculousness that is this OK! mag report. They’ve made Jennifer Aniston out to be a heroine of the dating world, when what she was really doing was shopping and sightseeing:

“Indeed, Jen spent the next few days showing just how happy she was to be single, wearing flattering outfits and going shopping. She also spent time soaking in some culture, walking the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on, where she spent over an hour admiring one exhibit.”

There’s a grain of truth to the lightweight sensationalism, even if it does describe Jen as “‘openly encouraging the attention, smiling, showing off her body, and creating photo ops’”: I’d be happy to be single after my ex gave everyone blow-by-blow account of the breakup. Maybe Jennifer’s not flaunting her singleness as much as rejoicing the fact that she’s escaped from such a cad. Now that I can believe.

John Mayer Broke Up with Jennifer Aniston By Text

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:44:38 +0000

John Mayer’s just continuing to cement my theory of how scumbag-ish he really is. I don’t even have to try anymore– especially not with sources like The Mirror digging up the good dirt on how his split with Jennifer Aniston came about:

“A friend told [Mirror]: ‘She is so intent on getting married and having children, he felt hemmed in. After a 20-minute phone conversation, he just said, ‘I can’t take it any more,’ and hung up. Then he texted, ‘That’s it – the end.’”

Not only is John Mayer really polite, but he’s obviously a perfect gentleman, too. I can so imagine this happening.

The Break-Up That Surprised. . . Nobody

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 20:42:53 +0000

John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston, no more? Maybe John Mayer really is an a*s– just like I always suspected. According to yet another random “source” John has already moved on, and since I hate him, I’m happy for her. The Mirror reports:

“John took the decision to end things as he felt he just wasn’t ready for the level of commitment that Jennifer deserved. Contrary to reports, Jen didn’t want to have kids or marry this year, but she did want to set a timetable for their future together.”

Well, well. I have to agree with Jezebel. John Mayer just might have pulled a John Mayer after all– and if so, I’m just glad that Jen got out when she did!

I really hope she didn’t actually call it a “timetable.” That is a turn-off. Even so, I have to agree with Jezebel. John Mayer just might have pulled a John Mayer after all– and if so, I’m just glad that Jen got out when she did!

John Mayer = Alleged Scumbag

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 20:07:15 +0000

Jennifer Aniston should be careful– it looks like John Mayer is on the prowl. According to a fascinating In Touch Weekly blurb, Mayer approached Chaton Anderson in Amserdam, and told her “I am John and I am a singer.” Nice pick-up line, John. And he didn’t stop there:

“I laughed because I knew who he was,” Chaton, 32, also was aware that he has been dating Jen. “I asked him what his relationship status was,” she explains. “He said, ‘It’s vague.’ I asked him what that meant and he said, ‘You know, it’s very vague.’ I just laughed. I never mentioned Jennifer and neither did he.”

But here’s the best part: she gave him her real number! It’s too bad that her cell was stolen, because I would love to hear whether or not John was dumb enough to call her two days before his “vague” girlfriend Jennifer Aniston arrived in Amsterdam.

Update: Now Chaton has turned to US Weekly is “completely not true.” WTF?

John Mayer Sucks, Makes Money Off Fans

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:02:44 +0000

There was an article published about John Mayer that starts off “It’s hard not to hate John Mayer.” I would like to second that.

John Mayer isn’t winning any brownie points with us, especially now that he’s charging his fans to take pictures of him. Wow, a new low! He must be proud, because many of us were sure that he couldn’t get any worse.

John was spotted in Hollywood on Tuesday shopping at a camera store when his (unlucky) fan approached: “I just charged her $10 for a shot,” Mayer said to the shop attendant after the woman paid him for his pic. “I know my value. I know what I’m worth.”

Why doesn’t he just sell out to People or OK! and be done with it? At least he could get some real money. Now this guy really is a douchebag.
