'I Just Don't Want To Be Followed Around New York City Like An Animal'

John Mayer is one of those celebrities who is more popular than he should be thanks to his media skills and relationship with the paparazzi. He demonstrated this theory over the weekend in NYC when he held an impromptu mini press conference on his breakup with Jennifer Aniston. He came across as genuine, likable and passionate, even throwing out a Chris Crocker-esque plea to leave Jen alone. The most entertaining part of the clip is the paparazzo who insists on sucking up to John and adamantly agreeing with every word the singer says. Heh.

I really like John Mayer. I don't know how he is when you know him personally, but he seems to have a great sense of humor and he is amazingly talented. I, for one, am glad he dumped J.A. because i can see her turning into a cougar and she just seems really bland.

No. 7 David says:

I think he just said that he was honest and she wasn't. He may even have said that she cheated on him. I'll have to parse this a little more and get back to you …

No way, David - he was saying he broke up with her because he wanted someone else, if anything.

No. 10 Gorgeous Black Women says:

He broke up with her because he didn't want her, not necessarily because he wanted someone else.

No. 11 sar says:

I was trying to imply that but I didn't do a stellar job.

Maybe he broke up with her because he's one of those people who always thinks there's something better for him out there. Like maybe someone with a real, actual bubblegum tongue. Oooh or Pete Wentz.

Okay…I might be in a pissy mood but he comes across as an ass to me! "hey random papparazi's this is how it went down. Jen is awesome but I broke up with her. Just want to get that straight that it was ME that did the breaking up. Cause I'm complicated and shit. Word."

it would have been more gentlemanly (??) if he'd said nothing.

No. 15 Kate says:

I find this way better than the "we are still best friends and have mutual respect for each other" bullshit. Who cares if one dumped the other? That's usually how it works. OR he could have said "She's a high maintenance bitch who needed to be by my side every waking minute and her face is looking leathery from all the tanning."

No. 16 cooter says:

He's just an immature little maggot. (2gg's?) There was no need to say anything at all….especially that HE broke up with HER a gazzilion times.

I bet he also says shit like "I'm hittin that".

How is this guy relevant? He hasn't had a new song since the 90s, right? Also, he sounds like a tard.
