Here’s a photo of John Mayer attempting to go unnoticed as he left his NYC hotel yesterday. He’s doing the Bieber walk and has the shades on, so I can’t get a grasp on his mood besides the usual “douche” vibe. Maybe I should be nice — a new report from E! says Katy Perry dumped John a few days ago. Is the greatest love affair of our age over all over again?
Not that we didn’t see this coming. They’ve already broken up a few times — most recently last March before going for a third round in June. Kaiser, CB, and I had a little in-house bet on how long they would last before ditching each other again. We’re all pretty sure John wanted to end this thing a long time ago. They were promoting their joint single with coupley Vanity Fair portraits, but live interviews revealed that John looked super uncomfortable when Katy touched him in public. Then she started playing the “engagement” ring game again. I bet John started treating Katy like crap until she dumped him. I hate it when guys do that:
Katy Perry and John Mayer have called it quits.
A source close to the pair exclusively tells E! News that Perry broke up with Mayer within the last few days.
No other details about what prompted the “Dark Horse” singer’s decision were forthcoming, but Mayer was noticeably absent from Perry’s side on her recent trip to London and Milan. She returned home to Los Angeles on Friday.
Despite some early ups and down, the musical pair fast became one of Hollywood’s hottest couples, sweetly gushing about each other in interviews and collaborating on the song “Who You Love,” off of Mayer’s latest album, Paradise Valley.
The duo have been the center of engagement rumors for quite some time now, with the most recent round of are-they-or-aren’t-they being sparked by the huge diamond ring Perry was wearing at the Elle Style Awards last week in London.
Perhaps the glittering accessory was just for style after all.
A source told E! News in November, however, that the next step seemed “inevitable,” and that all of their nearest and dearest were really rooting for them to stay together. “They are so perfect together,” the insider added.
The Prism artist once called Mayer a “genius” and told E! News, “I’ve been a fan of John’s for years before I got to actually kiss him.”
About their musical collaboration, she added, “I’ve been such a fan, I think he’s so incredibly talented and gifted and a genius songwriter. So to be a part of anything he was doing was just natural.”
The two first went public with their off-and-on romance in summer 2012. They split briefly, reconciled, called things off again last March, but then seemed to be going strong once again.
[From E! Online]
“They are so perfect together” *sniff* Is it possible for John to be perfect with anyone? He’s a lone wolf. The guy is happy enough to get with a woman initially, but he always gets the itch and ends up looking trapped. I hope this story is true and Katy gives some good dish for her next Vogue cover. She trashed Russell Brand that way, and you know John deserves the same game.
CB mentioned that John was probably dying to give his version of events to the paps yesterday. We should applaud him for his self-restraint — as hilarious as it would have been for him to pull that stunt again.

I’m heartbroken. I thought these two were solid,eyeroll.
Lol! Me too!!
+1000
First Gropey McGroperson and his wife yesterday, now this. True love really is dead.
“Gropey McGroperson”! LOL!!!
“Gropey McGroperson” Hahahaha!!! 😀
Love the “gropey mcgroperson” name, I hereby move that forever after that is his new name on this site 😈
Contrary to popular belief, they are probably not ‘made for each other’ or ‘perfect together’ either….sure, they have chemistry, but John has never made it for long with ANYONE….like Katy says, he’s a ‘tortured soul.’ No woman in her right mind should try and have a serious relationship with him because it simply doesn’t work. And even if it works for a while, it won’t work for long…..Katy needs to stop going for the wrong kind of guy, but hey, maybe she really enjoys the challenge and the drama?
and the water is wet.
LOL “he’s a genius songwriter…” Oh yeah, Katy. Compared to you, everyone is a genius songwriter.
exactly my thought.
and don’t forget his greatest talent”crossword solving “
So true! My favorite is the one that goes “Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?” Why, yes,yes I do…” So relatable… *rolls eyes*
HAHAHA should be “do you ever feel dumb as a plastic bag…”
What an idiot.
HA if i were these female celebrities or any female for that matter i would not go anywhere near John Meyer, Wilmer Valdarama,Leo Dicaprio,George Clooney,Simon Cowell. They have been with enough women to populate a small country yuck
Don’t forget Gerry Butler!
Absolutely.
Okay, seriously–I could see having a FWB relationship with John Mayor–as in as soon as the afterglow fades, I would be OUT of there as soon as possible. I don’t understand WHAT he has, beyond sex and good looks, that hooks these women, who keep coming back, no matter how badly he treats them. Don’t get it.
VG,
You *know* I love you right? But I cannot co-sign on a FWB thing with John. I urge you to retract your sentiments. And quickly too. He makes my lady parts hide. Ugh.
I actually don’t mind Katy (minus the stupidity & hubris of her last album) but I fully believe every woman and man on the planet deserves a good partner. May Katy find a good man next time. And may John become a monk.
(That’s a win-win for everyone, right?)
I’m saying it, for someone who is NOT me–I wouldn’t touch John Mayor with a ten foot pole, because I’d be afraid of what STDs can crawl off of him, and onto me. But I’m just sayin’—if I was Katy Perry, that would be the extent of my dealings towards him. But I’m not dumb enough to even go near him, so there’s that….
To be fair, his d-ck is racist, so it’s not like he’d want me 😉
Oh VG,
THANK GOD.
*wilts in relief*
And honestly, Katy is better off just running away. I really think that’s true of most women. Just run away from John.
Oh, you have nothing to fear.
Not when I have a six foot four, Irish lilted man with a ginormous package as mah husband…..
Liam>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>that douche Mayor
@Virgilia thank you for making me laugh at his dick is racist lol.
Well I wondered… I mean Liam is HOT — even if he is a million years old and John so isn’t. Plus Liam grew up and became a gentleman whereas we’re still waiting for John to do that. And we’re still….w.a.i.t.i.n.g. And waiting.
I shouldn’t hold my breath should I? 😉
And yes, the racist d-ck joke was priceless.
Mayor’s the one who said it–I’m just repeating it. Which is DISGUSTING…I guess it was his way of trying to make a joke about his preference of white women–I can’t remember the name–but he called his d-ck a name of a well known racist from like the Civil War or something….
And bite your tongue! Liam’s not a million years old….I think that any woman who dates him, isn’t dating him for his money/fame (he’s actually done pretty well by getting non fameho girlfriends….), they’re dating him because he’s amazing in the sack. Full stop.
Just like he’s going to marry me because I can BAKE.
David Duke. He’s alive now and totally icky. That’s what he called his d-ck.
*gags*
My point was even as old as Liam is — he’s still hands down a better catch than John. Hell, even a dead man is a better catch.
I’m still gagging…
🙁
I started reading this conversation from the bottom up, and it took me a second to realize which Liam we were talking about. Then I realized it didn’t matter at all. Both Neeson and Hemsworth sound like vastly more appealing sexual partners than John Mayer.
David Duke is one of the most vile people on this planet. Revolting excuse of a human.
“He makes my lady parts hide” is one of the best John Mayer insults I have ever heard, ever. I feel the same way. He’s vile.
Desperation is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Have you seen the faces John Mayer pulls when he plays guitar? http://seriouslyomg.com/?p=13891
I bet that’s what his O face looks like. I can’t imagine trying to keep a straight face in the sack with him!
Urg. I’ll pass the brain bleach over when I’m done with it.
Mort – yes I have and I have thought that as well, unfortunately. Still trying to forget this every time I see his schlubb of a face.
thank you Izz. bleeecccccchhhhhh
@Mort: I can’t even imagine being in the same house as him — much less letting him touch me. I’ve already had one a**hole in my life. No need to increase my numbers! lol
Ewww!!!!
Hehe.
When someone acts ultra cool and seems unobtainable but then deigns to set his sights on you, you feel honored and you want to be the one to make him really fall in love. But the problem is they reel you in with all of this, I can’t stop thinking about you, I’m obsessed with you, I love you and then when they get the woman, they begin the pull back and subtly eroding your confidence, and you can’t let go of that beginning feeling you had when he pursued you so heavily and want to be the one that changes him. It’s the elusive bad boy syndrome.
You nailed it Jayna.
Which is why I shoot down people who proclaim they always love the bad boy. Oh grow up. Lissen, I married a flimmin bad boy way back when and it wasn’t worth the calories. Don’t do it.
“Bad boys” really are bad in all the ways that count.
After “pull back and subtlety erode your confidence”, don’t forget “be critical and act like you’re the crazy, desperate one until you feel like there’s something wrong with you and not the guy”, which, as Bedhead astutely pointed out, ends with the guy generally acting like such a dick that you have to end the relationship. God, I’m happy I’m not single anymore. LOL @ “it wasn’t worth the calories”. Nice one, gg.
HA! I forgot about his racist dick. That’s good, at the most he could get to half-mast with me. A limp Mayer noodle.
I get it when I listen to his lyrics. Shadow Days, Born & Raised.. He’s a puppy to save and pet.
I loved his music before he was big…but he is coyote fugly…i don’t get the attention he gets from women…yuck!!
I was over him when i heard him on a radio talk show saying that Lennon & McCartney were bad song writers…his hubris and ignorance is palpable. Why was the git on their grammy tribute? Sir Paul should have egged the tool.
Third time’s a charm…..
I’m returning to my bed chamber with a bottle of wine and a box of tissue to bid farewell to true love.
There, there, my dear. Try not to take it so hard. Even the truest, most perfect, glorious love can come to an end. And an end. And an end.
We all predicted this. On every single Katy and John post on here. I think it is safe to say, no one here is surprised.
I am slightly glad though that Katy was the one who supposedly did the dumping.
John Mayer is such a loser.
Ugh, he’ll probably be back. Or he might pull a ‘Joe Wright’ and get pap’d with a car full of strippers with his friends, in a couple of days.
Don’t get it–my older sister is with someone who got her house shot up–where her five year old son, my nephew was in the house. The dude is nice, don’t get me wrong, but he brought that bs to her house. Who knows what’s going to happen next??
I wouldn’t be surprised either if Mayer came crawling back. Perry was BY FAR the bigger star in that relationship and he knew that by being with her, she raised his profile (even though he would never admit that of course, him being a “genius” and all…). I just don’t understand what women see in him. It’s SO obvious he’s a Grade A Douche, how is not obvious them them? He seems to go for women who aren’t exactly rocket scientists though, so there’s that…
And yikes! That is scary and hopefully was a wakeup call to your sister!
Well yes, there’s that too. When I first started reading this site–I read his Rolling Stone interview, and went back and read his archives–all of it had to do with the women he dated i.e. Taylor Swift, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston. I’ve heard he’s talented–I have no clue, but he’s not THAT famous. I’ve read from other posters that he goes after vulnerable women–after they get out of a relationship, etc…I’m inclined to think that’s true.
As for my sister–unfortunately it was not. My mom is PISSED. The dude, who is a really nice, sweet guy apparently got my sister’s house shot up over 20 dollars…yeah, right. It’s a hard thing, because the dude who fired the bullets is dating my ‘aunt’–she’s adopted, so she’s only about four years older than me, and she wouldn’t help with the police investigation, so now we (at least I don’t) talk to her anymore…..
This IS another big factor in his dating history – he definitely goes after vulnerable women. I remember when he was dating Jessica Simpson. She coloured her hair dark brown, in an attempt to be seen as more “serious” by him, and I think I recall her talking about how she was reading poetry etc. Basically she was trying to change herself to get his approval. I distinctly remember thinking how sad it was that she felt like she had to be some artsy intelligento type to get his attention, and I wondered what kind of man he was that he would let her do that. And this was before that disgusting racist and sexist interview of his! Now, I think that he really enjoys mind f*cking women he thinks are inferior to him, playing with them and abusing them (you already know about his penchant for p**ping on women…). He’s just a plain old sicko in my opinion. As for his talent, he can actually play the guitar quite well, but I am not a fan of his music or voice. Sappy and annoying and very basic rhyming lyrics.
Sadly, your sister will have to figure out for herself that no matter how nice this guy seems, he’s bad news :(. I have a cousin who was with a guy who turned her life upside down (and continues to do so even though she’s no longer with him) – we all told her he was an awful person. She wouldn’t listen to any of us. She had to learn the hard way unfortunately that he was not a good person :(.
I am slightly glad though that Katy was the one who supposedly did the dumping.
John Mayer is such a loser.
—————————
Ditto! Although I am more than slightly glad. I love it that she dumped him. i’m pretty meh on her, but now that she dumped him, I think I like her more, lol.
No way did she dump him. Face saving is all.
THIS! Dumping that asshole would take self awareness of the predicament she is in and if those interviews in morning shows didn’t do it NOTHING will
I agree. And the engagement ring stunt was so heavy handed, whether it was before or after they broke up. If it was before, that was probably putting pressure on him to do it for real. If she was doing the engagement ring wearing after they broke up, then it is probably a bitter f-you to him. Either way, it is kind of sad and petty.
This was my thought. During that debacle GMA interview they did, all I could think of was Mayer looked as if he couldn’t wait to get away from her.
Ahahahahahahaha!
And this puppet will be back with him in two weeks.
Why do I have a feeling that they’ll be engaged in less than a month?
I have a sneaking suspicion they will try again but I don’t even want the Barbie Katy Perry to get with him. Not even her.
bets on who he ends up with next. The twerking wrecking ball perhaps? Or maybe Lohan?
He already hooked up with Miley! And she’s way too good for him.
It was embarrassing to see them together in interviews. She was fawning all over him and in love and he was barely attentive to her. Zero chemistry.
Let’s face it, he probably wanted out sooner, but he had to stay with her long enough to get this single out there that they did a duet together on and promo it and do interviews together Now that’s done and over with, and John didn’t need her anymore and became his usual douchy self and passive aggressively forced her to dump him by treating her like sh..t.
I saw these two on a morning show clip, and John didn’t seem to respect Katy at all. He seemed embarrassed to be with her, and the awkwardness was painful to watch.
John is a phenomenal guitar player and a brilliant songwriter–he is well educated and had a scholarship to Berkley, but dropped out. Katy is very calculating and ambitious, but an intellectual lightweight.
I think Katy wanted to get engaged on Valentines Day, and John didn’t meet her demands. Thus, another breakup.
On Good Morning America? I saw that one and it was sooo painful. I saw them on a late night show also, maybe Kimmel or Fallon I can’t remember.
He is a great guitarist and an excellent songwriter. I’ve seen him in concert and he puts on a great concert. But I really don’t think he likes women, to be honest. I think he loves women and screwing them and all that. I don’t think he actually likes women and really seems to have a not so carefully hidden disdain for anyone he has been with. It must do a number on your self-esteem and psyche to be with him and finally realize no matter how much you change or act to please him, it won’t matter. He will never really love you because he’s not capable of really deep love. Seeking his approval just does a number on his women I think.
the dicktamazation of Katie Perry…..I feel bad for her… hopefully she doesn’t go back for sloppy thirds, fourths, whatever ##
Let’s play “Who should Katy date next?”
I vote Jared Leto
She’s way, way too old for him.
I think Sparkles is still available?
I second Sparkles!
what about Robin Thicke?
Robin Thicke is both the best and worst prospect for a new Katy Perry hookup.
LOVE this idea!
YES! And he is totally her type. She has a thing for trying to tame the “bad boy” type of guy!
Oh. Dear. You’re probably right.
Bingo!
M
RUSSEL BRAND!!
I don’t think he wants her back.
EXHIBIT “A” bad boy.
Not such a good move on his part. He’s basically peaked, both in terms of fame and looks, and it’s not like he has a great personality to fall back on. He would have been smart to latch onto Katie’s still-rising star.
Agreed. He’s so…. yucky…
Yup!
All the full scale stage costumed music extravaganzas in the world to lure John and us into the idea that they’re a great love just points out what an emotional adolecent this chick is.
Now Katy & Taylor Swift can duet together.
That’s funny!
Please! My ears are bleeding at the thought of that mess.
Jeez that picture of them together where she’s got her talons dug in and he’s twisting away…I’m mortified for her
Agree, she looks pathetic in that pic. And he looks like Lurch, growing a hunchback to keep her from touching him.
Big snort on the “Lurch”. Every time I see Mayer, I’m gonna think “you rang?”.
She looks more than a little unhinged in that picture.
Unhinged is the perfect adjective. It’s awful.
Did she finally realize that he cringes at being touched by her if she isn’t naked?
Seriously, the douche’s discomfort at being “boyfriend” is written all over him. He wants to sleep with a sexy girl. He doesn’t want all that other stuff that comes with a relationship.
He should stick with Rosey & The Five Sisters. (Sounds like a band name!)
This most likely sums him up in a nutshell.
He needs somebody strong and way more boheme, she needs somebody weak and retro.
She seems to go for the artsy type. The guy she dated from Florence and the Machine was pretty cute. Maybe he’s still available.
first of all – all of these comments- lmao!! I just choked on my coffee. And second of all- WHY DO WOMEN LIKE THIS DUDE!!! I don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t see anything remotely attractive or redeeming. To quote Cher: “you’re not interesting enough to make me sick.”
He must be dynamite in bed. I can’t think of any other reason.
I can never get past that visual I read of him when people were posting if they had ever hooked up with a famous person on Reddick. This story is too far out to be a lie. Someone doesn’t usually lie about being treated badly when being picked up. This girl posted her friend left a bar with him he was at after a concert. They went to her apartment. They were kissing and all of a sudden he didn’t want to get it on right then and suggested a shower. While they were in the shower he told her to talk dirty to him and then he just stared into her eyes while he masturbated. She went along with it thinking it would progress I guess to sex. But he finished masturbating, and that was it. He got dressed and left, nothing for her. LOL Someone on here said they had heard a similar story about him, no sex because he was too drunk, just getting off.
Pass.
Oh God, he seriously does like Rosey & her sisters. OMG. Men that use you only to get off are selfish. WOW.
And then Katy sings about John making her ‘Walk on Air’ which you know is bad if my 15 year old daughter is seriously rolling her eyes.
Google the lyrics. And bring a barf bag and/ or steal Izzy’s bleach. DON’T say I didn’t warn you either.
No way. After hearing that shower story (LOL) he is even less attractive to me. I’m thinking she’s one of those chicks that takes emotional abuse and tries to “fix” the guy. So much for hearing her roar. More like a muffled meow. Cut him off.
My usual assumption in these cases is that he’s really good in bed, but thinking about John Mayer in bed just makes me nauseated.
I know!! Isn’t that UNFAIR? It makes me mad to think that a douche like Mayer might be good in the sack. It’s like he doesn’t deserve it.
^^THIS^^
There has got to be a convent close for me to crawl into and hide!!!
I must be losing my edge. I was surprised both by the blurred lines guy story (i can never remember his name) and this one too.
I think he asked to be dumped.
HAHAHAHA!!!
My fantasy “Katy it’s not you or me, it’s your bangs. Call me for the next go round once they’ve grown out.”
I fail to see why his all of his girlfriends think Mayer is a genius. His songs suck andhe acts like dbag. I have yet to hear him utter an intelligent thought or opinion about anything.
I can see why all his girlfriends think Mayer is a genius. It’s because he’s an averagely smart man who exclusively dates women who are substantially less intelligent than he is. It’s a type I’m usually wary of.
He’s a great guitar player but his lyrics are mushy. The ladies love men who can play the guitar very well. His songs, like Maroon 5 songs are the type that get played as supermarket background. I admit I like the incredibly sappy Battle Studies a lot. Like Adam Levine, John tries to maintain that kind of sly, douchey persona to make up for their pop-ish songs.
I wonder which skanky guy is going to be next for her…
his clothes are so southwest grandpa…they don’t fit the hip girls he dates.
“…but he always gets the itch and ends up looking trapped…”
Psst. Dear John: They have medicated creams and special jockey shorts for that.
LOVE IS DEAD Y’ALL
He never seemed that into her. That interview where she’s touching him and he looks like he is about to cringe says it all… just because a girl is beautiful doesn’t mean a guy is automatically in love with her.
I like his consistent style, he goes for that “medicine man” look, but Katy tried to turn him into a hipster. Yeah, they’re not a fit. He needs some Montana/horsey young dumb blonde pseudo spiritual type who will look the other way when he re-diseases his dipstick.
I do feel sorry for her, as I’m also try hard man-rehabber. IT NEVER WORKS; a dog might get re-trained, but a male homosapien is set in their ways past the age of 10. Sigh. I just got a shelter puppy, and that has taken my mind of trying to fix the un-fixable.
Kinda seems like Blake Lively would’ve been a good fit except she had grander designs on social climbing.
Is it just me or does Katys face look different in this weeks photos ? Can’t quite put my finger on it….
Maybe it’s that puffy eye syndrome from crying herself to sleep all week over her broken heart.
Not that this is a credible source at all….
…But Blind Gossip has three blinds as “solved” today. They said that Katy’s excessive drinking ended her first marriage, and it as also the reason that John wouldn’t marry her, because she is a mean drunk. Alcohol also leads to facial puffiness.
I’ve noticed that too. I think it’s fillers and tox around the eyes and brows especially.
Or maybe its pregnancy face, my Ma says you can always notice it in the face first LOL. Mind you she never noticed mine, practically had to puke on her foot.
You know, I think they probably were a good match, personality-wise. But yeah, Mayer was never going to *not* get the itch to run away to another bosom. He’s a Peter Pan.
Long time lurker. Just went back a couple of Mayer posts and guess who he did years ago! Scheanna Marie, the waitress Eddie “The Kept Man” Cibrian cheated with. Ugh. Feels like a gross high school reunion. Can’t even bring myself to mention the STDs…
Bleh. He has the worst fashion sense. That’s the nicest thing I have to say about him.
Long post, here we go:
Oh wow Katy Perry, did you wipe the cakeup off your face long enough for Mayer to finally see beyond your smoke and mirrors? He got his fill and has dumped you (also Brand) because SEX DOESNT LAST; have you heard of that psychological effect wherein humans adapt to any feeling, emotion, gift, booty call they get? It wears off! Your sexual charm stops as soon as he *finishes*. I thought you wanted to be more mature and less sexual for your new album, but WOOPS, there goes you on a GQ cover half naked. I may not have your body, definitely not your boobs, but let me tell you a secret to men: what they are attracted to is more than looks; its an energy, a certain INTELLIGENCE, a woman who plays her cards right intellectually and physically. Shes got the looks, the confidence, and she never sells herself short (or sexually). Brand doesnt want you (hes way too smart for you), Mayer got his fill; why not go back to school and learn something to expand your mind, not a man’s pants!
!
yeah…
What his women all have in common, besides being big pop-culture “names”, is deep and obviously insecure personalities. Starting with that poor desperate-for-love Jennifer Love Hewitt, (tries on engagement rings, etc), through Jessica Simpson (sad, divorced, struggling with daddy issues, waning fame etc), to Jennifer Aniston (documented signs of deep insecurity too numerous to mention) and now into Katy Perry, who, despite her sex kitten image, is clearly open to being molded by her men (from tattoed punk rock dude when she first broke out, to yoga and everything-Indian with Russel and now hipster-arty horseback riding John Mayer iteration).
I think he clearly enjoys finding women who have a sexy public image but deep-seated personal insecurities, and preying on their combo of their celebrity arrogance ( that Bad Boy will change for ME!” ) , & desperation for approval and those insecurities.
On a side note, the first time I personally encountered him, it was the late 90s/ early aughts, he was NOT famous, he was very puffy/ fat, dumpily dressed, stringy haired, schlubby, and standing alone awkwardly leaning on a pillar at a party in NYC. He looked miserable, insecure and cocky all at the same time. So maybe he’s working through his own loser sad-guy demons and insecure past by playing with the minds of these celeb women…
I’m sorry, did she really think she’ll be “The One” who can reform this man and purge him of all douchabaggery? Seriously. The greatest lesson my mother taught me about men was that “If you’re going to be with a man with the dream that you’re going to be able to change him, you’ll just end up brokenhearted”. I think the whole “I’ll be the one to change him” theory is crap IMO.
Russell brand to John Mayer is like filet mignon to chop steak. I wouldn’t touch John Mayer if he were the only man available.
And btw, I wonder if Katy does have a drinking problem (and blow)?
