John Mayer is denying claims that he cheated on Jen Aniston. He said the two just weren’t right for each other. Says John:

“Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I have ever met.”

Very gracious. He said the same type of thing about Jessica Simpson. I like the fact the he just broke up with her because she was the wrong person. Too many times people stay together simply because they are afraid to be alone. Of course, it sounds like Jen already has someone new and John will probably have another girl in about five minutes, so how much time alone do these folks really have?

I suppose you’ve heard by now, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have broken up. USA reports that since the two of them were together, the “heat index” (which tracks how interested people are in celebrities) has risen quite a bit. It seems everyone wants Jennifer to be happy and find her Mr. Right.

Looks like Mr. Mayer is not said Mr. Right.

The reasons for the break up are all over the map. Some say they agreed to a “trial seperation” (which to me is a fancy way of saying breakup), other says she dumped him, while still another group he dumped her.

A few people speculate that it might be the talk of marriage and babies (Jen is, after all 39) and that John couldn’t commit while others say he had a few flings and cheated on Jen.

Oh, who to believe in this crazy Hollywood land!

And remember when Jen supposedly found those love letters from Jessica Simpson that John had kept? Maybe that had something to do with it as well.

Does anyone else besides me think it’s weird for Pete Wentz and John Mayer to hang out and talk about babies and fatherhood? First Ashlee Simpson and her hubby Pete Wentz want to have John Mayer as godfather to their baby, and now rumors say Pete is prodding John to have some kids with new girlfriend Jennifer Aniston.

I can’t help but wonder how Jessica Simpson feels about the situation. Even if you’re totally over your ex, if a friend or family member was buddying up to them, wouldn’t it feel like they weren’t on your side? It’s not that I think Jessica doesn’t want John to be happy, it’s that I think it’s kind of heartless of Pete Wentz to be so buddy-buddy with John.

What do you think?

Okay, I really can’t imagine that this is true, but The Sun is reporting that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz will ask John Mayer to be the godfather for their baby.

Apparently Pete and John have become friends. But if you were Ashlee, wouldn’t you insist that John COULDN’T be the godfather? I’m sure he’s a peachy keen guy and all, but to have him be a quasi-part part of the Simpson family forever and forever would be rather uncomfortable for Jessica, wouldn’t it? And I’m sure there are plenty of other perfectly acceptable prospects to ask?

The Sun adds that “they are holding back asking him at the moment because they are not sure how Ashlee’s sister Jessica would feel about her ex having such a strong link to her new niece.”

Uh…. yeah. Ya think?

Maybe all this talk about babies is pushing John towards the married life himself. One report says he and Jen Aniston will have a “trial marriage” of sorts. (Which means they’ll be moving in together.) Apparently he’s been telling her “she’s the one” (and wasn’t Jen in a movie by that name?) and that he wants her to move into his bachelor pad after his current tour (which ends in September.) Is it just me or is it hard to believe these two are really a couple?

On a completely different note - John IS looking much better with his new haircut.

I’m sure this little news story:

didn’t make Jessica Simpson too happy. It’s difficult enough when your relationship (on again or off again as it may be) is uncertain, but when your ex is living the high life with a new tartlet? Ouch.
