John Mayer stood up for his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston, as he spoke to a group of photographers after working out at Equinox Gym in New York’s SoHo neighborhood.
Here’s what the 30-year-old musician, who appeared emotional, nervous and sad, had to say:
On why he broke up with Jen: “People are different, people have different chemistry. I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right. It’s not about years, it’s about going out with somebody, being truthful on the way in, being truthful in the middle and being truthful on the way out.”
On his breakup being completely normal: “There’s no lying, there’s no cheating, there’s no nothing. I’m sorry that the story’s not interesting. But it’s about time that somebody stands up for that girl and I think she’s great.”
On setting the record clear about Jen: “If you guys are going to run stuff and run every lie under the sun, have somebody stand up for somebody. Have me as a man who ended a relationship stand here and write some truth. Have me stand up for somebody and write that Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I’ve ever met.”
On why relationships generally end: “You’re either a cheater or you breakup. And I’m not the first. I’m the second one. And that’s it. There’s no lying, there’s no bulls—, I just don’t want to be followed around New York City like an animal.”
On singing the praises of Aniston: “She’s one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met in my life and I’m going through something that’s a very personal thing and you have to give that up. You have to give everything up because you can’t have it all and it sucks.”

Unlucky-in-love Jennifer Aniston has been dumped by her latest boyfriend, rock singer John Mayer.
It is yet more heartache for the gorgeous Friends star, who has been unable to find love again since her divorce from Brad Pitt four years ago.
News of her splitting up with Gravity singer John comes just weeks after the couple were rumored to be considering marriage.
“There’s been a bit of tension for some time,” says a source close to 30-year-old John. “They initially opted for a break, hoping a trial split might make them stronger. Sadly it doesn’t seem to have worked.
“John took the decision to end things as he felt he just wasn’t ready for the level of commitment that Jennifer deserved.
“Contrary to reports, Jen didn’t want to have kids or marry this year, but she did want to set a timetable for their future together.
“She also wanted him to assure her he would cut down his tours in the future when they did eventually have children.
“Initially, Jennifer was furious when he told her of his decision but now she’s simply sad - not to mention a little heartbroken.
Dlisted says, “Oh well, it’s back to the old maid drawing board for Jenny!”
Celebitchy says, “Mayer had to use some special eye cream to reduce puffiness before a performance, perhaps because he was crying. My eyes get puffed up when I’m hung over, so maybe that was his problem.”
What Would Tyler Durden Do? says, “Hahahaha, you suck Jennifer Aniston. Why don’t you stammer and flip your hair some more. It’s so charming. Even that chick who cut off her husbands dick in his sleep got married again. Think about that.”

With her 40th birthday just six months away, she’s dating John Mayer — almost 10 years her junior.
So what does Jennifer Aniston do? The former Friends actress has, it appears, made some slight adjustments to her famous face.
Well somebody screwed up — it looks NOTHING like Angelina Jolie. In fact, it looks more like she’s been sucking on an old-style coke bottle, with her upper lip tucked in it for a long time.

Smith brought in $80 million last year. Cameron Diaz was the top earning actress with $50 million. I love reporting on celebrity paychecks, it’s absolutely ridiculous how much they earn.
The top 5 earning celebrity men in Hollywood are:
1. Will Smith - $80 million
2. Johnny Depp - $72 million
3. Eddie Murphy - $55 million
4. Mike Myers - $55 million
5. Leonardo DiCaprio - $45 million
The top 5 earning celebrity women in Hollywood are:
1. Cameron Diaz - $50 million
2. Keira Knightley - $32 million
3. Jennifer Aniston - $27 million
4. Reese Witherspoon - $25 million
5. Gwenyth Paltrow - $25 million
How is it possible that Eddie Murphy earned that much, when we have the likes of “Meet Dave” as our most recent example of his work. The same goes for “The Love Guru” and Mike Myers.
Whether it’s cockroaches or heights, spiders or flying - everyone has a fear, and if you thought that the phenomenon of phobias do not exist for celebrities, then you need to think twice.
With Scarlett Johansson it is the fear of cockroaches.
“I once knew a girl who actually had giant African cockroaches as pets, and she would play with them and fuss over them. She often tried to get me to touch one, but I wouldn’t. I told her I have been afraid of them ever since I once woke up with one crawling over my face, and another was in my shoe.”
Nicole Kidman is a lepidopterphobe - she is terrified of butterflies.
“I am not afraid of snakes or spiders — just butterflies. It all started when I was a child. Sometimes I would come home from school and the biggest butterfly you have ever seen would be fluttering on our front gate. I”d climb over the fence rather than touch the gate, and crawl around to the side of the house to go in the back door.”
Jennifer Love Hewitt has revealed that she has a number of phobias, the worst of which is a fear of elevators.
“The trouble is that many of the Hollywood meetings I have to attend take place at the top of tall buildings — and I simply cannot set foot in a lift if there are too many people in it. If there’’s four of five people in it, then I just about manage it.
I prefer it when it’s empty so I can scream if I want to. I am also scared of sharks, which is why you will never find me in the sea, and I am a terrible hypochondriac. I have every illness known to man, and I am pretty sure I have had the bird flu four of five times. I know I drive people mad with my phobias.”
Jennifer Aniston has been terrified of flying ever since she was caught in a bad storm in a small plane years ago.
“We became caught up in an electrical storm. And the Toronto to New York flight took two hours, which was twice the usual time.
Every time we flew over a field I hoped the pilot would decide to land, but he didn’t. What really scares me is the take-off. I”ve heard all about the aerodynamics, the speed, the engine — but I still get nervous.”
Among the male celebrities who admit to having phobias is Johnny Depp, who revealed that he is not only afraid of singing in public, but also of clowns.
“I was forced to overcome my singing fear because of the movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. I warned director Tim Burton that I wasn’t very confident of my singing abilities.
I also have had an acute fear of clowns — a condition known as coulrophobia — ever since I had nightmares of them as a kid. I used to see their faces leering at me.”
Soccer ace David Beckham suffers from ataxophobia - a fear of disorder or untidiness. We humans call that anal retentive.
He admits that everything has to match: his shirts are arranged in his wardrobe according to color, and he lines up cans of Coke in the fridge.
“I”m very organized and controlled and need to go to bed at night knowing what I”m going to wear the next morning.”
