John Mayer Launches Tirade At Huffington Post Over Story He’s Dating Jennifer Aniston Again

Published on August 27, 2010 at 7:01 AM

John Mayer(HMG) – John Mayer apparently was none to pleased by an item which appeared on the Huffington Post, under the headline, “John Mayer & Jennifer Aniston BACK TOGETHER?” We passed on following this story partly because it came from Star Magazine, who sometimes comes out with good stuff but also often seems to shall we say speculate.  Anyway this rekindled romance story seemed like a huge stretch, as it described how Mayer said that he “believed in second chances” during his Hollywood Bowl concert on Sunday.

Mayer got wind of the story and published a tirade against the Huffington Post. In a post on Tumblr, the singer-guitarist countered, “Huffington Post, this is reporting? How do you pay your writers now, in Silly Bandz? Do you meet your sources in a malt shoppe? This is equal parts fabricated, cobbled together and misleading. Let’s break it down: I don’t think I ever said ‘I believe in second chances!’ “  You might have been a pain in the ass the last time around, but you can still start over again from home base.” He, explained that the sentence “is from the song ‘Half of My Heart’, in reference to the idea that meeting new people allows for hiding old mistakes.”

The Huff/Star magazine article also noted that “a woman who resembled Aniston was rumored to be in the wings,” during the show, which was the supposed tie in to the rekindled romance.

Mayer continued: reason I’m calling you out instead of all the other magazines that make stories up out of thin air is that In Touch and Star Magazine aren’t concurrently writing pieces about Pat Tillman or WikiLeaks. Those other rags know who they are, and even if they’re obnoxious, I’d rather have to live with them because they (and the rest of the world) know where they stand, which doesn’t make them one tenth as dangerous as you are. You’re a stripper wearing reading glasses. Or maybe you’re an insolvent law student willing to dance for a few extra dollars. Either way, it’s uncomfortable to watch you try to wrap yourself around a pole when you have that C-Span scar.

He then offered up the aforementioned headline suggestion should the Huff, print his rebuttal:

“I’m not a politician. I have no celebrity endorsements. So it is with a clear conscience that I’m able to title your piece on this post, should you decide to try make a few more bucks for whatever body wash or slasher flick you’re hocking today.

JOHN MAYER SLAMS HUFFPO: ” GO F**K YOURSELF!”

I think he’s right, and I acknowledge we follow stories here, which end up being totally BS, too.  The difference is we are pretty much strictly a gossip and entertainment  site.  I have another site that deals with more serious news and we just don’t publish these highly speculative gossip stories.
