John Mayer comments on his friend Pete Wentz’s media savvy in a new interview with Pete in Blender Magazin. When Mayer praises Wentz’s self awareness and how he handles attacks on his partner it sounds just like he’s talking about himself. Maybe these two get along so well because they share a self preoccupation they try to justify with pseudo intellectualism.
Are Pete Wentz’s overshares about his life making your ears bleed? Well, brace yourself. He’s talking again about what it’s like to walk a mile in his shoes in the February issue of Blender magazine, but there’s a bonus in this interview: His pal John Mayer weighs in on “the idea” of Pete Wentz.
“Pete has this fabulous meta-awareness,” Mayer told the magazine. “Some people mistake it for narcissism, but it’s really just his way of playing with the idea of ‘Pete Wentz.’ His genius is he’s always one step ahead.”
Mayer also admires the way Wentz has navigated the perils of tabloid romance with his wife, Ashlee Simpson. “To have this beautiful relationship with someone who gets attacked so often, and to handle it with such grace and respect — I just find that really impressive,” said the rocker.

Mayer’s really talking about himself and how he thinks he handles the press. He’s just so clever, deflecting praise to his friend and planting the seed of acceptance in the public for egotistical musings from all the lesser-cared about celebrities. Mayer and Wentz are geniuses who are exploring their identity through the gossip press, I get it! I can’t thank the guy enough for clarifying that for me. Now I have more positive ways to describe those two instead of relying on the old “press-hungry douche” standby.

Of course these two are BFFs. Maybe they’ll form a band and get this whole apocalypse thing off to a proper start.

Oh man Codzilla, took the letters right from my fingertips. I don’t even know how they fit both of their egos in the same general vicinity- John must have phoned in his thoughts.

i didn’t know these two were BFFs but now it all makes sense. god can you imagine a conversation between these two, hanging out on the beach with pina coladas? it might sound something like this:
john: i’m the most sensitive male i know.
pete: no, i am.
john: i’m so sensitive i made a cake.
pete: i’m so sensitive i drank breast milk.
john: …ok, you win. say, where are jennifer and ashlee?
pete: dunno.
john: whatevs. can you rub some suntan oil on my back, buddy?
pete: anything you say, pal.
