While John Mayer is generally considered to be a douchbagging cad, I do enjoy the way he teases the paparazzi. He doesn’t freak out at them or curse them like a lot of celebs, and he doesn’t desperately court them like Paris Hilton or a few others I won’t name. But he sure knows how to stay in the papers. My favorite was when he wore the Borat tankini and read a copy of Us Weekly. And later when he mounted a sunbather and massaged him.
Stuff like that makes me think I’d really like the guy if he weren’t constantly macking on anything with two legs and two nipples. That’s right, I said macking. I went there. Oh and nipples. But I try to write that at least three times a day.
John had some funny commentary at his concert last night in St. Louis. Both People and Us Weekly were in the audience, prompting Mayer to give them some good gossip. Just not the kind they were planning on.
“[Fans] send me links from PEOPLE,” he said, marveling at the coverage of his remarks the previous night when he – with Aniston in tow – joked about being the subject of Internet rumors. “That just tempts me to say things.” The audience at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in the St. Louis suburb of Maryland Heights roared its approval, but Mayer would not divulge any intimate details.
Instead, he playfully peppered his nearly two-hour concert with dubious confessions designed to feed those who were curious about his private life: He fears the color green. He weighed 400 pounds when he was 12. He wrote the lyrics to the Kenny Loggins hit “Danger Zone” – at age 9. And he was “33 percent done” with building a time machine.
“When I was a child I would kill small animals and wear their teeth as necklaces,” he deadpanned. “True. Print that. And I’ve always felt deep down that I was born a woman.”

Okay that is the second time Kenny Loggins has been mentioned on Celebitchy in under a week. I think this means he’s making a comeback, Hall & Oates style. Or at least I’m rooting for one. That’s definitely my favorite piece of previously unknown – and 100% true – John Mayer gossip. Though that thing about fearing the color green – that’s probably because he saw pictures of himself in the Borat suit. That’d make me fear green too.
Here’s John Mayer performing at the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England on June 29th. I tried to get one without him making a weird face, but it’s pretty much impossible. Photographer: Nick Pickles; Images thanks to WENN.

LOL. You’ve got to hand it to him, he’s found a great way of playing off the media attention
-
Good, maybe he’ll send himself back to medieval times when they used to burn homosexuals. What’s with the faces? Like he’s really rocking out to his wuss music there.
-
um what? he killed small animals and wore their teeth? what kind of small animals? puppies?
they say chilren who kill animals are actually sociopathic.

Despite how much everyone says that he’s a douche, I’ve had a hard time believing (accepting?) it because 1) he was born in my hometown of Bridgeport, CT, hometown holla wOOt wOOOT! and, 2) media shenanigans like these. How can you NOT like a person who wears a bear suit to his own concert to hang with his fans anonymously and baits the media with things like this? His sense of humor kind of overrides the douchiness, methinks
-
Every time I see him I think of Dave Chapelle’s “Piss on you” skit.
-
I have to admit, I like some of his music (not all of it)..but hate to watch him sing because of the faces..I had a friend in my youth, who played guitar in the bars on the weekends, and he made those faces when he played, I think its a musician thing! I think they have to make a consious effort to not make the faces, and John just doesn’t care.

john stopped being cool, when the media and Jen showed up, now he’s careful and boring. boo!! boo!! boo!!
-
I agree with Hmm. Maybe he could cover “Piss On You” and dedicate it to Pity Party.
-
He’s freakin’ hilarious.
-
What little respect I had for him went down the john when he started dating Jessica Simpson and her giant white teeth. Shudder.
