John Mayer has impressed very few people with faux-intellectual “wit”. Just in the past year he dumped Jennifer Aniston, then gave a press conference to the paparazzi about the break up. He’s blogged away his feelings and his thoughts about politics, and most recently, he made a faux-inspirational video mocking Brad Pitt.

The gossip has been steady over the past month that John and Jennifer are over, big time. After each supposed “confirmation” by some “insider” of the break-up, John goes over to Aniston’s house for a little pap-friendly photo-op. Now Mayer is (jokingly?) blogging about buying Aniston an engagement ring.

John Mayer might want to take a look back and remember what happened the last time he over-shared with the public – he and Jennifer Aniston broke up, reportedly partly because of his friendliness with the press.

And even though Jen said in a recent interview her boyfriend hadn’t been blogging lately, the singer is back to communicating with his fans and making jokes about his personal life.

“Visiting the Diamond Exchange in Tustin,” he wrote on his Twitter page Friday, following it up Saturday with, “Welding an engagement ring for my girlfriend.”

While he may have meant “wielding,” there’s no doubt that John enjoys toying with the press over his relationship with Jen, especially as the Marley and Me star approaches the big 4-0.

However if John keeps updating the public on his relationship status, there might not be a relationship. Stay tuned!

I think OK! is wrong, I’m pretty sure Mayer meant “welding”, as in he’s joking about making the engagement ring himself. As in, another little dig at Brad Pitt, who designed his and Aniston’s weding bands himself? Or is that a stretch?

For as much as other celebrities are accused of courting the press, there are few that rise to the level as John Mayer. I’m sure in his mind it’s all a witty joke, but I just find it sad.
