John Mayer Slams Huffington Post

John Mayer Slams Huffington Post

John Mayer gets into a cyberscuffle with the Huffington Post after the online newspaper published a story with the title, “John Mayer & Jennifer Aniston BACK TOGETHER?”

The 32-year-old musician fired back at the HuffPo on his blog saying, “Huffington Post, this is reporting? How do you pay your writers now, in Silly Bandz? Do you meet your sources in a malt shoppe? This is equal parts fabricated, cobbled together and misleading.”

This was in response to the original article which stated, “Are John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston back on? Mayer seemed to indicate they might be when he spoke in front of a crowd of 18,000 at his concert on Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl in LA. “I believe in second chances!” he said. “You might have been a pain in the ass the last time around, but you can still start over again from home base. Next time you get a text from the one you love just text back ‘come over’ – no matter what happened in the past. If you really love someone, just tell them and be with them.”

Mayer‘s biggest problem was the piece stemmed from the fact it was posted on the HuffPo, a media outlet with a generally solid reputation. He explained, “Those other rags know who they are, and even if they’re obnoxious, I’d rather have to live with them because they (and the rest of the world) know where they stand, which doesn’t make them one tenth as dangerous as you are.”

The HuffPo coyly responded, “He does not deny that he and Aniston are dating.”

Aniston and Mayer last dated in March of 2009.

Finally someone brings it up that Huffington Post articles are opinionated and not based on facts. I’m always surprised when celebrities use Huffongton Post to publish their messages a la Bono and Ryan Reynolds

I don’t care for either one. Both are big time loosers. It would be better if John just make music and leave his personal life in private.

HuffPo may be dangerous if they had written something that can really damage the reputation of a celebrity. But the thing is, it is just an opinion and he can deny it or confirm it, there is no need to utter those words. Hey John, you are a celebrity, that comes being popular.

nothing wrong with the HP article. douchebag mayer once again tries to project himself as intellectual by taking on the reputable HP.

nothing much to do mayer? maybe come up with a sextape to stir interest in your slumping career?

He denied it at Irvine California Hollywood Bowl Usmagazine LATIMES.COM and also calling their story bullshit. John Mayer has worked BB King Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson among others.

@dumpstah: Idiot John Mayer came in #2 behind U2 and later on Bon Jovi in concert sales. If you read more than gossip sites you’d know.

If you don’t want people speculating about your business SHUT THE F UP. He should have known better based on controversial things he has said in the past. Yeah Hp is supposed to be a reputable site but they also need hits to make money.

Huff continually posts unsubstantiated gossip next to hard hitting journalistic pieces.

Mr. Mayer is correct. By Re-Posting gossip from a tabloid but not siting the source, it appears as though Huff is reporting what they are instead “pasting”.

Huff need to decide if it ‘s a Xerox copy of numerous tabloids or irresponsible gossip rag or a reputable news source.

ZOZ #13- You know that information can be Googled for verification, don’t you? I’m just saying. What year was that? I’ll fact check for you and provide source.:-), Always willing to help.

Mayer is a good artist, but a bit of a narcissist. He’s very much in love and impressed with himself. He thinks he’s cerebral, but lacks common sense at times.
-
On the personal side, if Aniston goes back to him, all of Hollywood and her few remaining fans will think she needs an intervention. Anyone really thinks that Mayer cares about HP’s reputation as a serious media outlet? It’s laughable that he calls them ‘dangerous’ for this silly article.

Huffington Post has a solid reputation…… what delusional world is Mayer in.
Huffington Post is a pathetic liberal political website, who uses trash and celebrity stories to get more people to view their propaganda of liberal policies and causes.

You know things are bad when you’re such a pariah that men RUN to issue statements denying they are with you. That’s what you get when you spend years having your PR lapdog issue FAKE ROMANCE stories about you every week to try to make you look desirable. I know they rue the day that they hired Mayer. He has continued to try to make her look old and washed up since the FIRST time he PUBLICLY DUMPED HER.

Yeah men just RUN from Jennifer Aniston. LoL!!! Look at the stampede! LOL!!! These loons kill me. TEAM ANISTON.

Men do run from her. It’s the story of her life. So, continue organizing your team aniston rallys at the local senior citizen’s living facilities – old and behind the times, because that’s the only group left on her ‘team’ and they’re dwindling fast.

Oh, and how about ‘Team they BOTH Suck,’ (Mayer & Huffpo) Huffpo’s poltics and news pages may be decent, but people have long known that their entertainment pages have always regurgitated tabloid stories.
.
Mayer has been left alone by the media for the most part since ditching the barnacle on Brangelina’s asss – and it’s probably so easy for him to get the middle aged wretch to come crawling, and to not have to make promises and to yank her chain and influence her (she’s incredibly dumb)….while at the same time, he gets the added bonus (what is TRULY important to him) media saturation and publicity when he is with her.
.
I personally think Mayer can’t go back to NOT being on mag covers, not having TMZ drop everything to get him to ‘play,’ and to NOT being on everyone’s lips. As the one who keeps d*cking Aniston around, who is also her ‘great white boytoy hope,’ for a lot of her middle aged fans – he is the center of the universe.
.
He’d rather have THAT than ‘sexual naplam,’ (be it Simpson or any other girl his age or younger) any day.
.
Especially since he’s gay as the day is long and deeply closeted.
