Jennifer Aniston tells John Mayer to keep his trap shut this time


One of the things that perpetuates the notion that John Mayer is a total asshat is his inability to just keep his yap shut about himself and his life. Whether it’s blogging, dressing up like a bear to talk to his fans about himself, or making comments to anyone who will listen, there’s not much about John Mayer or his life that people don’t know even if they don’t want to. For this reason, the word douche is used to describe Mayer more often than anyone else except possibly Michael Lohan.

According to OK! Magazine Jennifer Aniston is pretty much in agreement. Obviously in love with the singer, Aniston recently got back together with him, with one caveat:

Keep your mouth shut about our relationship and stop blogging about your personal life!

“Jen is fanatical about keeping her relationships private,” an insider tells OK!, adding that the former Friends star was “horrified” when John spoke publicly to OK! on a New York City street about their August breakup.

John’s kiss-and-tell antics had Jen-watchers believing the singer was arrogant — and had exploited her for publicity. Months later, John would come back and beg Jen for a second chance.

“She told him she wanted to get back together, too, but no more street-corner press conferences and blogging about her,” a Jen insider says. Desperate, John agreed.

So far John has been obedient, but the guy has a long history of not being able to stop talking about himself and now that he’s Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend, that means talking about her, too. There are not many people who are as openly self-absorbed as Mayer, who think the rest of the world want to know every little detail about them and their life. Even if you’re a fan, the relentless attention seeking has to get old. I wouldn’t know, I’m just guessing.

Jennifer Aniston likes the attention, too, but she rarely speaks about her life, preferring to be seen and not heard. For Jen’s sake I hope John can be as content with just photographs of the two of them and steer clear of the blogs and verbal outbursts.

    What’s good for the goose… etc

  2. geronimo says:

    Still think this is the most unlikely couple in the ‘unlikely celebrity coupledom’ world but good luck to them.

    Although wait…is this not JA telling the world that talking about their relationship is verboten? 😯 She needs to issue similar gags to these ‘insiders’ and ‘sources’ if she wants her relationship to remain private.

  3. optical says:

    why be nasty?? it is her business after all.

    ps, she did not mention AJ and you are all AJ fans.

  4. smit33 says:

    Guess who wears the trousers in this relationship ? Not John.

  5. xiaoecho says:

    optical……don’t tell me who I am a fan of —I’ll tell YOU!

  6. popo says:

    Oh there is one person who tops him in talking endlessly about themselves. Angelina Jolie. But it seems if you like her one is unable to see this as a similarity.Sort of strange isn’t it

    Have you LOOKED on Livejournal?

  8. Uma Sultani007 says:

    I just cant stand to see her chin anymore!

  9. Cinderella says:

    Why does he look so damn skinny. Did he miss the attention that bad?

  10. Kaiser says:

    Agree, Geronimo. If she’s so private, why does she send her Goddess Circle losers- er, I mean “insiders” – out to tell her side *every* tabloid story that her publicity team strategically “leaks”?

    It’s less about wanting to keep her relationship private, and more about wanting only her version to be told. 🙄

  11. Anne says:

    That JA would even give John Mayer or Vince Vaughn a second look speaks volumes about her character. Her image is obviously not reality because she comes off as classy and reserved.

  12. Ulrike says:

    Indeed, Kaiser
    Because in order for Angelina to be up,
    Jen must be brought down.
    Sorry but there seems to be no other way.

  13. Kaiser says:

    What’s sad is that the only way Jen’s fans can ever make her interesting or sympathetic (in their eyes) is by bringing up Jolie.

    Your girl is dating John Mayer, Douche Supreme. Again. Defend it without bringing up Jolie, and maybe I’ll cut Jen some slack.

  14. anti-tox says:

    She’s not so special.. He should blog and live free and have fun.

  15. Susan says:

    At least Mayer hasn’t told us about tub time with his partners.

  16. what is ever. says:

    One doesn’t have to be a Jen fanatic to abhor deceiving individuals who are okay with either committing or being party to adultery. And though you cannot steal a husband, you can still respect that person’s partner and their feelings. All’s fair in love and war is an excuse to act inhumanely towards others, and that’s not right. Even if it is accepted, that doesn’t make it right.

    An excuse is still an excuse, regardless of whether or not you think it’s a worthy one.

    I really don’t give a fat rat’s either way, I just find it pretty insane that people rebuke others for doing the exact same thing they do personally. It’s nuts that people always want to be on a team, or whatever. There’s four sides to this story: his, JA’s, AJ’s, and the truth.
    Just because you worship a celebrity and read everything about them, doesn’t mean you know them or what’s actually going on. Everyone is a victim to the media-spin- machine.

    *edit, xiaoecho, please don’t think I was calling you out for your words, it was just a coincidence.

  17. vdantev says:

    Yeah, that’ll keep Mr. John Van Wandering-Eye in line, Jenn. 🙄

  18. Mairead says:

    Dear Jen,

    Thank you for telling John to shurrup and stop oversharing. Now please tell your so-called friends, staff and PR people to do the same.

  19. trvlbug529 says:

    If celebs like Jennifer want privacy they need to get out of the business or at the very least keep behind closed doors! She should be thankful she’s even getting exposure. What has she done lately anyway other than perpetually bitch and moan?
    No wonder she can’t keep a man!

  20. Samantha says:

    Why do you guys care so much who Jennifer Aniston is banging? Its not like she is messing with a married man or something. Oops…AJ slip. I kid..but seriously, why do “JA” fans feel the need to defend, and JA haters feel the need to bash? Envy and Jealousy I guess…Here is to hoping that a human being can be happy, regardless of her status in the world. Same goes for the douche she is with. 😛 (I kid, don’t beat me up in the lunch room.)

  21. Syko says:

    I’m not envious or jealous of Aniston in the slightest. I just loathe her because she’s an empty, untalented, overrated waste of space.

  22. Kaiser says:

    Amen, Syko. 😆

    And since the comparisons are flowing like wine, let me just say – I’ll take twenty Angelina-bathtub revelations for one John Mayer Dominican-dark-dick-rot revelation.

  23. Connie says:

    i find it amusing that jen is “horrified” when john speaks publicly and she wants to keep her relationships private although she’s the one who openly spoke about the dissolution of her marriage in a major publication and claimed brad to be “missing a sensitivity chip”

  24. RAN says:

    Yeah, the envious and jealous notions are sort of wearing thin – mostly on the AJ/BP threads but on this one too. I’ll say the same thing I hear on the AJ/BP threads — to everyone who hates this woman so much… stop reading about her. It’s a simple fix to how ‘boring’ she is. I must agree though, she’s not overly thrilling in every day life, but then I imagine very few people are.

    @ Connie – perhaps she learned her lesson, no? 😕 Touch that hot stove one time too many, you won’t continue to touch it, if you’re wise.

  25. whatevs says:

    Wasn’t planning on commenting on this, but- RAN, I saw your comment on the Megan Fox thread. No, he still hasn’t come home.

    As for Jen, if her PR team is really involved in keeping her in the news, it’s hurting more than helping. I’m getting bored with the constant “news” over who she had lunch with and what she ate and Mayer this and Mayer that. I wish they’d give it a rest for a day and wait til she actually DOES or says something interesting.

  26. krissy kristofferson says:

    Why would she get back together with a guy who coldly broke up with her on TMZ? Now, she’s trying to control him and make him “behave”? DUMB DUMB DUMB This girl has more issues than National Geographic. 😆

  27. RAN says:

    I’m sorry Whatevs…I was really hoping for the best and wish I could think of something better to say than ‘I’m sorry’, but please know I’m sincere when I say it.

    I think I agree with you about the publicity stuff, but I’m a little cynical about it. I mean, do we REALLY know that it’s her people putting out all this nonsense? I could care less really, but sometimes (like you said) it’s more harmful than helpful, so I doubt an ‘uber spin/pr man’ would put that stuff out.

  28. Codzilla says:

    krissy: LOVE your name. 😀

  29. whatevs says:

    Thanks RAN, I’m slowwwly getting over it but I still think he’ll eventually come home.

    And yeah, you would think he knows what’s good for his clients, but maybe he believes all publicity is good publicity. When it’s really not. I always thought she was a private person, if all that is true she’s really changed. Which is sad, I always liked her.

  30. Jaded Envy says:

    I can’t think of anything nice to say about Jennifer Aniston so I won’t say anything at all.

  31. czarina says:

    I find it coincidental that she is getting back with Meyer just when, because The Changling is coming out, AJ is giving a lot of interviews.
    This is not a bash of Jen, even if it is true…I bet what she wants most in the world is to have a life–or even gossip in the tabloids–that is about her and only her, not her ex-husband.
    I don’t blame her at all for that.
    As for Meyer, assuming this rumor is true (about her telling him to keep quiet), I’m torn–he should be able to do what he wants and what makes him happy (even gazing at his navel and feeling compelled to give eveyone a blow-by-blow account), then again, he’s a grown man and can show a little restraint.
    Talking about yourself is one thing–feeling the need to chat about eveyone you know is another story.
    I agree with whoever wondered why Jen would get back together with this idiot (see paragraph one of my post…LOL!)

    Susan: At least Mayer hasn’t told us about tub time with his partners.
    ***********************************

    Oh dear, you must have missed his blog last spring when he started dating Aniston. He had a blog up in which he wrote all about what he did to his girlfriends — golden showers and all — and named names. After the word got out on JJ, his publicist made him take it down, but not before someone had posted the link on JJ and a lot of people saw it. I kept wondering why in the world would anyone want to date a he-skank like that — even someone as desperate as Jennifer Aniston.

  33. spoonman says:

    Boy her biological clock is ticking and should explode very soon.

    tick, tick, tick… Bammmmmmmmm!!!!!

    Watch out Johnny boy, your the only one in sight to become her sperm donor-so run for cover and good luck!!!

  34. Dee says:

    i don’t think J.A. has any intention iof EVER having a child, or getting married.
    1)by the time a pregancy would be a possibility, she woukld be just tooooo old to go ahead.
    2)she’s too vain. tyhe body beautiful is too important to her, to stuff up with pregnancies
    3) the changeling is out! she has to drum up SOME interest in herself to take the spotlight off A.J.
    4)she’s only known that douche for a few months, and she’s SUPPOSEDLY talking marriage and children?
    6)no, she’s not desperate, she’s a pretty smart businesswoman, who knows how to milkthe public for all we’re worth.

    good luck to her!, but i DON’T like her. i think she’s shallow, vain, neurotic, insecure, selfish and greedy. and THAT is why she’s alone and chidless – and always will be. 🙄

    What’s wrong with her chin?
