John Mayer: Jennifer Aniston Is My Oscar Date

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

John Mayer is going to the Oscars this Sunday!

 

"It's my first Oscars," the singer told blog PopSugar during an NYC interview Tuesday. "And it's my first being an Oscar boyfriend."

 

Mayer will likely be joining on-again girlfriend Jennifer Aniston, who's presenting. It'll be the first run-in Aniston has had with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who are both nominated.

 

 

"After that night, I have a deal almost signed in blood that says I must go into the studio and finish this record," Mayer continues. "So after Oscar Sunday, Monday morning, I'm invisible."

 

 

Mayer says it's his "goal" to not be on blogs for "at least three months.

 

"That would mean I'm working," he says."So it was great to win some Grammys, but I'm happy to get back to work.

John Mayer's Online Love Vote

 

John Mayer voted for himself in an online poll asking whether Jennifer Aniston should stay with him.The 'Gravity' singer - who has been dating the actress for around a year - couldn't resist having his say when he saw a US website asking 'Is John Mayer a Keeper?'.

 

He wrote on his Twitter blog page: "I just voted on People's 'Is John Mayer a Keeper?' poll - I clicked 'Love Him'.

 

"Be honest, you'd vote for yourself if you came across it, as well. Wouldn't you?"

 

John's vote was much needed as at the time 63 per cent of respondents were urging Jennifer to "lose him".

 

Jennifer, 40, and John made a rare public appearance together at the Oscars on February 22.

 

The 31-year-old musician has said he accompanied his girlfriend to the ceremony for "moral support" as she was presenting an award in front of an audience including her ex-husband Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie.

 

John said: "I basically stepped into the picture frame of Hollywood for one night. You have to really be with someone that you know who has your back in that situation. And she did, and it was really great."

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer: Back On!

 

 

After failed summer flings with Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are back on, reports the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now).

 

"He really got to her, and she's hooked on him," a source tells Us. "She just can't let go."

 

The couple first got cozy in April 2008 after spending five sexy days together in Miami, but went on to split twice -- most recently in January 2009.

 

A source close to Mayer, 31, tells the new issue of Us, "They are very close. They remain great friends. He thinks she's amazing, nice and smart, and he has nothing but respect for her."

 

Although they dined separately in NYC on Sept. 22, a source tells Us they met later that night at the Four Seasons Hotel. Other reports have claimed they've been texting each other and recently dined with Aniston intimates Courteney Cox and David Arquette.

 

Aniston, 41, has said she "deeply, deeply cares" about Mayer, whose next album, Battle Studies, hits stores Nov. 17.

 

Seconds a source to Us: "There's something about John that she just can't resist."

John Mayer makes sure music rises above tabloids

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY, AP Music Writer

 

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

 

(11-17) 04:47 PST NEW YORK, (AP) --

 

If you're engrossed in the tabloid Internet-gossip that has come to define the celebrity world, then John Mayer's latest CD, "Battle Studies," could provide enough fodder to fill at least a dozen Perez Hilton blog posts or at least one story in Us Weekly.

 

The CD's first single, "Heartbreak Warfare," already has some speculating on its subject with lyrics like: "If you want more love, why don't you say so?... Bombs are falling everywhere, heartbreak warfare."

 

Hmmm... could that be a message to a certain famous "friend" who he's been linked with on and off for the last two years? A look into the much-dissected love life of one of music's hottest hunks?

 

Mention this to Mayer himself, and you'll get a serious eye-roll, followed up with an "Are you kidding me?" look.

 

"I know some people think that, but it doesn't," a slightly exasperated Mayer says during a break in rehearsals for two upcoming concerts to promote his new CD (his concert airs on Fuse on Tuesday night, the same day as the album's release).

 

"That would mean that my personal life is more powerful than the music itself, and it's just not. No one's personal life is more powerful than music itself, and it's just not.

 

"By the way, I'm not the first person to process a personal life into putting out a record," he adds. "I think if there's any intrigue — obviously it would be silly of me to ask somebody not to be intrigued — but I think when the music starts playing, you're not thinking about my life, you're thinking about yours."

 

Mayer has rarely shied away from attention. He provides must-read updates to his more than 2.6 million followers on Twitter, engaged in a high-profile romance with Jennifer Aniston (which followed the high-profile romance with Jessica Simpson, which followed a romance with yet another startlet), has written for blogs and magazines and is known as one of the wittiest, media-savvy entertainers around.

 

But he is weary of those who would rather put the focus on John Mayer, the celebrity, and not John Mayer, the critically acclaimed, multiplatinum singer-songwriter-guitarist once heralded by Rolling Stone as one of rock's new "guitar gods."

 

"I've never liked the idea of somebody co-opting who I am, and I don't think anybody does," says Mayer, sitting in a small room as guitars wail in the background.

 

It's been nearly a decade since John Mayer burst onto the music scene as the boyish-looking, uncommonly gifted musician on "Room for Squares," with hits like "Your Body Is a Wonderland." Over the years, he's worked with everyone from B.B. King to Buddy Guy, won seven Grammys and created signature hits like "Daughters" and "Gravity." Billed as the "next James Taylor," he quickly created a musical identity of his own.

 

"Battle Studies" — his fourth studio album — is what he describes as perhaps his most lyrically complex, and yet at the same time, his most straight-foward. Now a veteran musician and producer, he has more confidence and experience when making a record: "I don't see it as a series of winning bets. I see it as something I do for a living."

 

The album finds Mayer at his most emotionally vulnerable, with songs titles like "Half of My Heart" (which features Taylor Swift) and "Perfectly Lonely." Mayer describes it as the "loose-ends phase of my life."

 

"I have all the big pieces figured out... I know what I want to do for my life, I know who my friends are, I know how to behave, I know what burns when I touch it because it's too hot," he says. "It's about tidying up those last few things so we can really get to the point in life so the struggle isn't the main event."

 

But Mayer's romantic struggles have become the main focus in the tabloid world — and he's rarely painted as the wounded party — most notably his relationship with Aniston, which reached its media apex when he escorted her to the Oscars earlier this year (and perhaps its low when he was quoted as confirming their then-breakup to paparazzi last year).

 

Mayer has dated other celebrities in the past, but the Aniston romance put him into tabloid overdrive. He was at best defined as a Lothario — at worst, a cad. But what has been potentially more damaging is that in some circles, it has overshadowed his musicianship.

 

"You know what I really like? I like when people say to me, 'Gee, I didn't know he could play like that,'" says guitarist Steve Jordan, who has worked with Mayer for at least five year and is featured on his latest CD. "(People) see a People magazine or a Us (Weekly) magazine and they think that's what it's all about."

 

And that infuriates Mayer to no end.

 

"By the way, I didn't really kill anybody. I didn't smash a car, I didn't commit a crime... I don't like the idea that there's an indictment on anything that I do," he says.

 

"The idea that there has been a sullying of my image ... I'm not going to be buried with an Us Weekly. I don't give a (expletive) about it anymore, I can't worry about it and I don't worry about it. And I don't think people want me to worry about it."

 

Mayer admits that perhaps a month ago, before he started promoting his album, he might have started to worry about all the tabloid chatter. But then he went to Australia and found himself playing before thousands of fans who didn't care about who he was dating, or his latest Twitter post — just about his music.

 

And he knew that Mayer, the musician, would be fine.

 

"I've never played in front of a room full of people who are chattering. I've played in front of a room full of people who are singing along to every word... that's a lot louder than chatter," he says.

Mayer: 'I Don't Give A S*** About Gossip'

 

John Mayer has revealed that he dislikes being a tabloid target, insisting that he has done nothing to warrant the constant press scrutiny he receives.

 

The guitarist was thrust into the public consciousness due to his high-profile relationships with Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston.

 

His close connection with fans through social networking site Twitter has also exposed him to criticism, but Mayer claimed that he is more interested in music than his reputation or fame.

 

He told The AP: "I didn't really kill anybody. I didn't smash a car, I didn't commit a crime... I don't like the idea that there's an indictment on anything that I do.

 

"The idea that there has been a sullying of my image... I'm not going to be buried with an Us Weekly. I don't give a s**t about it anymore."

Mayer: 'Give Kanye A Break'

 

John Mayer has called on the media and public to move on past Kanye West's MTV Video Music Awards stage invasion - because the rapper has been punished enough.

 

The rocker has teamed up with Taylor Swift, the victim of West's onstage protest, on a new track, but he's not about to join those publicly hating the rap star.

 

He says, "Here's how we work in America: We raise them and then we drop them... It went like this: 'That was messed up Kanye! You deserve a punishment.' Then, all of a sudden, the punishment got so severe; I was like, 'Time out!'

 

"If you just woke up now and you looked at the backlash on Kanye, you'd think that he actually firebombed the stage... It's the MTV Video Music Awards. It's not the G8 summit."

 

And Mayer tells U.S. news show "Access Hollywood" he's sure West feels terrible about protesting Swift's Best Female Video win: "I think he's remorseful. I think this guy's got to be reconsidering how he's gonna act, and that's fine. We learn from our little mistakes that happen in public."

John Mayer's Sports Car Sadness

 

John Mayer bought a Ferrari because he was sad.

 

The 'All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye' singer admits his investment in the luxury sports car was "ridiculous", and represented a "ticket out of the game".

 

He said: "Nobody stopped me the day I was real sad - because you don't buy a Ferrari when you're happy; you buy a Ferrari when you're sad.

 

"You buy a Ferrari when there's a piece missing inside of you. All of these things are absolute tickets out of the game: you have to enjoy your life without indulging so much that you lose it."

 

The day he bought the Ferrari, John - who had an on/off relationship with former 'Friends' actress Jennifer Aniston - couldn't decide whether driving a sports car was more ludicrous than the endless speculation over his love life.

 

He told Britain's Guardian newspaper: "I bought a Ferrari and drove it to Las Vegas on the day I bought it. What's more ridiculous - putting 600 miles on a black-on-black 599 Ferrari the day you get it, or having somebody call your best friend and ask if you're still dating that girl?"

John Mayer Taking a Break From Dating

 

Ladies, it's safe to go clubbing again: Notorious serial dater John Mayer is taking a break from dating.

 

"Yeah, I'm a little freaked out about dating," he tells Ellen DeGeneres on an episode of her talk show to air Tuesday. "So, I'm just going to let time pass and just do my thing."

 

Ribbing himself for his list of famous exes, which includes Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly and Jennifer Love Hewitt, the musician, 32, said his "funny track record" with star girlfriends is part of why he's calling it quits from the game of love – for now.

 

"For some reason who ever I date has been famous for a while. I can't sit here and be like, 'Oh, please let me live my life in private with this famous person who's been around for 15 years,' " he says. "The last thing you want is to see me doing is bashing my head going, 'I'm shocked, that I'm being followed right now.' ... I'm just going to hunker down. 2010 is a peaceful year for me no matter what I do."
