John Mayer is changing his ways for Jennifer Aniston


John Mayer has a reputation, to put it nicely, for not being the most upstanding guy when it comes to women. He’s a dandy, a prowler, and alleged connoisseur of the golden shower. Jennifer Aniston, though, may have finally been able to domesticate the dog. He’s apparently even written her a special love song. I have this feeling in my gut that it’s not the first time he’s used that “special” song to get back into someone’s pants, but it won Jen over.

The ‘Gravity’ singer – who called off his three-month relationship with the ‘Friends’ actress in August – also promised to quit smoking and drinking to cement their romance.

A source said: “John has even written a song about their time together and played it to Jennifer who was incredibly touched.

“He initially called things off because he didn’t feel ready for commitment. But after a considerable time apart, his priorities have changed and he wants to make a go of things.

“Determined to show he’s changed, John has cut right back on his drinking and has pledged to quit smoking roll-up cigarettes – two things that really annoyed Jennifer.”

[From Female First]

I don’t think Aniston minded so much that the cigarettes were rolled, it was probably more along the lines of what wasn’t rolled in them. If John is cutting back on his drinking, though, maybe that means rumors of Jennifer’s drinking problems have been exaggerated. I know there are plenty of people who drink in private, but Jennifer Aniston is photographed all the time and I’ve never seen her looking even remotely drunk. A little red-eyed and low-lidded on occasion, but not drunk.

I joke about Mayer’s reported transformation, but in reality, I’m pulling for Jennifer and John. I think they fit rather well, especially if Mayer is seriously leaving his douchebaggery behind. It’s possible, he wouldn’t be the first guy to be an ass until the right woman came along. There’s a long line of those and my own husband is in that queue. Aniston obviously thinks he has some redeeming qualities. Some rather significant redeeming qualities if she passed up the chance to hook up with Shemar Moore to go back to Mayer.

    I agree with you, Ceilidh. Here’s hoping it works out for them.

  2. Murmur says:

    John Mayer is one of those douchebags that never realizes he’s a douchebag, and therefore will never change his douchebag ways.

  3. takeiteasy says:

    mmhmm, I agree CB. Hope he changes too. He’s funny and humor in hollywood is hard to find.

  4. kelly says:

    WTF? Two months, and his “priorities have changed?” There’s more to this story.

  5. vdantev says:

    Riiiight. Once a playa…..

  6. Cheyenne says:

    Yeah, right. Don’t forget to stay up on Halloween to wait for the Great Pumpkin.

  7. whatevs says:

    Why would she care if he rolls his ciggs? She smokes like a frickin chimney so what’s the difference. I don’t buy this story but she was rumored to be controlling so it might be true.

  8. pamela says:

    Ok, I am going to struck by lightening for saying this, 😆 but I believe this time around, they will stay together, even if it’s only to be contrary. And then again, they probably do care for each other. Stranger things have happened.

  9. Kaiser says:

    Er… that Female First stuff reads like a Pity Party diary entry. Besides, how do we know that Mayer had to do anything to “win” her back?

    Just saying, from where I’m sitting, it looks like Pity was pretty desperate to be back with him. 🙄

  10. pamela says:

    Kaiser, be gentle now. 😆

  11. devilgirl says:

    You can’t change being a total tool and scum bag.

  12. jennifer says:

    They really do belong together – they’re both narcissists to the extreme (snarky.) And they really do look good together, physically (sincere.) 😛

  13. RAN says:

    It had better be something special because I admit to some serious jealousy when I heard about Shemar Moore’s interest in her. She’d be a fool to waste her time on such an immature puppy when Shemar… oh man… can’t even think about it.

    Good luck to her… if it’s true.

  14. Syko says:

    People don’t change. They might change some of their behavior, but he is what he is. She apparently just decided she wanted what he had more than she wanted him to be perfect.

    Personally I find him funny and not unattractive. But then this celibate thing can skew your eyesight.

  15. Granger says:

    Man, people in Hollywood have bizarre issues. First he dumps Jennifer, then he actually blabs about it to the media, and tries to make it sound like he did it because he’s deep and full of integrity and didn’t want to lead her on, blah blah blah. And she actually wants to take him back? She has less self-esteem than I thought, and I’ve never thought she had much.

    whatevs: I thought JA quit smoking a while back? I haven’t seen any recent photos of her with a cigarette in her hand…

  16. Trace says:

    I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I hope they do last. Maybe finally, Aniston’s second career as the pitiful ex-wife will end as she finally has a man of her own.

  17. pamela says:

    An Australian magazine is reporting that she is pregnant. Who knows? 🙄

  18. gg says:

    All I know is he looks like a cheesy little con artist at the moment with the look he has going.

  19. missme says:

    SHiiiiiiiiiT, did anyone even tell her who the eff Shemar is??? She shoulda took him up on that offer! That woulda been the ultimate (brad who!) moment!!!!!! But I do wish her and John the Best also, cause she’s my girl no matter what!

    OBama/BIden 15 days………… yell yeah!!!

  20. Feebee says:

    Leopard. Spots. Can’t change.

  21. Feebee says:

    To Pamela… the Aussie mag, New Weekly is about as reliable as Star Magazine in the US. Course they used to say that about the Enquirer….

  22. pamela says:

    Feebee, Oh, I didn’t know the mag was a tabloid. Oh well, there still may be some truth to the story. Which wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen, because then her fans may stop verbally attacking the JPs.

    I can always hope.

  23. sjp says:

    john had no choice, also Jen gives him a lot, money, fame, etc. we already knew john was going back to her, he never makes a clean break, that’s his M.O. also Jen makes it so easy to take advantage of her, she is too desperate. it’s not brad looks that makes him who he is (he is still a hunk) but status, that’s why Jen is still walking around getting photos shot at her, that is the only reason, and every one else knows this. she was married to brad and he dumped her. the power of brad pitt.

  24. Chamalla says:

    Jen’s g-friends need to remind her that no matter how attractive the marketing and packaging, douches have no business near one’s ladybits.

  25. Sunnyjyl says:

    I can’t think a coherent thought when Shamar Moore is mentioned. Please Jen, choose him instead. 😳

  26. someone says:

    Its her life, shes over 21 and rich and single, if she chooses to spend some of her time with JM then so what? Maybe she really likes him. The only person it can hurt…is her..I wish her well..I hope it works out this time.

  27. geronimo says:

    Agree, Granger. Bewildering. Is any man better than no man? This just contradicts everything she says about herself in her (Hallmark) interviews. I give it 2 months. Oh well.

  28. Allabouteve says:

    Does that mean John is no longer a cheapskate who couldn’t or wouldn’t open his wallet according to Jennifer’s friends? Whatever happened to the three strikes you are out policy, since her friends claimed that she dumped him because he cheated on her three times, I guess she will extend it to six strikes you are out.
    This girl and her friends really must think they are still in high school, it would have been cute except she is about to turn 40.

  29. Yourself says:

    Syko, people never change, so does a certain woman who used to use knives and burn herself and sleep with ever TDH men or women and do drugs etc ring a bell? Or do different rules apply to every one else except her?

    As for JA, I hope she finds a better person than this douche. She seems a nice person.

  30. DLR says:

    I give it a week. :mrgreen:

  31. ff says:

    Again, if they’re simultaneously taking each other off the market, then you’ll never hear a complaint from me.

    The only thing is it seems like drama bait. I can just see the tabs stringing this crap out.

  32. Syko says:

    @Yourself – I’m not sure who you are talking about…but I don’t believe people change. You may change some of your practices or habits, but it’s the same old person inside.

    I don’t really get why everyone is so down on JM anyway. So he screws around, dates a lot of different women. That’s allowed, he’s single. I don’t understand why that makes him a douche.

    At least he seems lively and humorous, which is more than you can say for JA.

  33. sad says:

    Um, Shemar was caught ON A GAY BEACH (pics were in all the rags – uncensored version is on web) frolicking nude last year and has been trying desperately to convince people he’s not gay. In other words he’s gay. Much like the closeted John Mayer (best friends with Pete Wentz and Perez Hilton tongue lasher).

    Matter of fact, expressing interest in Jen Aniston is a surefire way to tell if a man IS gay. LOL

  34. RAN says:

    So… using that theory… Brad Pitt is a closet gay? Explains a lot 🙄

    Btw… that was a nude beach which he thought was a unisex beach and happened to have gay people on it. Are gay people only allowed on certain beaches now?

    The subsequent pictures from that outing made the rest of us fall in deep lust with him. She’d be lucky to have him and so would anyone else.

  35. geronimo says:

    Syko, agree re JM, he is what he is. But what he isn’t is a long-term prospect for someone clearly looking for a long-term prospect. Just don’t get how a ‘supposedly’ together, confident woman (according to herself in interviews) could re-hook up with him after their very public & humiliating schoolyard break-up?

  36. Jeanne says:

    Maybe she should get back together with Ross, or Joey.
