The National Enquirer is running a new story on their website that Drew Barrymore is telling Jennifer Aniston to get rid of John Mayer. Supposedly Drew and John don’t get along and Drew doesn’t think that he’s the right guy for her friend. This could be based on a quote they include from a recent interview with Drew, but it also sounds like it might have an element of truth to it. You can imagine Drew and John fighting as they both seem to have strong personalities:

Drew Barrymore is begging Jennifer Aniston to dump John Mayer, telling her: “You can do better!” says a friend of the actresses.

The two beauties – recent co-stars in the hit He’s Just Not That Into You – had a recent heart-to-heart talk about the commitment-phobic rocker, pals say, with Drew urging Jen to keep looking because John’s using her to boost his career.

“Drew told Jen she could do way better and she’d be a fool to settle for him,” a close pal told The ENQUIRER.

“The first time Jen introduced twice-divorced Drew to John, they clashed,” added the source.

“They bickered for so long that Jen had to step in and change the subject.”

Over the past 10 months, Drew has heard all of Jen’s horror stories about 31-year-old John’s roving eye, how he blabs about his love life and how he refuses to discuss marriage or children, added the source.

When quizzed recently about what dating advice she gives to girlfriends, Drew revealed: “Don’t coddle your friends, help them grow. Stop repeating those bad patterns. If he doesn’t make you feel good, get out!”

“And even though Jen is crazy in love with John, I think a part of her is worried that Drew may be right.”

We are trying to go easy on John Mayer here, but I see where Barrymore is coming from if this is true. This guy told the paparazzi last fall that he had broken up with Aniston, something Aniston later attributed to his need to let it be known that he was the dumper, not the dumpee. Mayer seems to be trying to make amends by taking Aniston on a Valentine’s getaway, writing her a birthday song and going to the Oscars with her. Maybe he’s at a stage where he’s ready to commit now, but I still see him as an immature guy who blabs to the press too much. Look how he talked to Ryan Seacrest right after the Oscars – and he had to go and tell PopSugar ahead of the event that he was going to be Aniston’s date. The Oscar producers were trying to keep the presenters a secret and until Mayer said he would be going it was only an unconfirmed rumor that Aniston would be there.

If Aniston was a friend, I would tell her to hold back a little and see where it goes. It wouldn’t hurt to keep this younger guy at somewhat of a distance. Enjoy yourself and if you love the guy good for you, but you don’t have to open up your entire world and heart to him until you know it’s for real. With his track record, and the way he’s broken up with her in the past, it’s not a good idea to get so wrapped up in it. A good friend of mine once gave me similar advice, and although I didn’t take it at the time she turned out to be right. I went through a lot of heartache in the mean time, thinking that I loved the guy and that it was enough despite the way things were going and the fact that he wasn’t the type to settle down.
