Last week it was confirmed that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer had broken up yet again. The couple seemed quite lovey-dovey at the Oscars in February, but just weeks later the rumor mill was saying that they’d called it quits again. Early reports said that Mayer was the one who ended things with Aniston, but now there are sources claiming that it was Aniston who did the dumping after Mayer supposedly “turned cold” while she was in Europe promoting her movie.
FURIOUS JENNIFER ANISTON has told friends she dumped singer JOHN MAYER.
Jen, 40, split from the 32-year-old after coming back from the UK to promote film Marley & Me.A source said her decision came after Mayer “went cold” following the Oscars.
The actress’s claim contradicts reports that Mayer was the one who ended their affair. Pals said Jen felt angry and used.
A source added: “They had a great time at the Oscars, but he seemed to go cold right after.
“It’s humiliating. To say her feelings are hurt is an understatement.”
This “hot and cold” thing seems to be Mayer’s standard playbook. Remember when he was dating Jessica Simpson – one minute he couldn’t stop singing her praises; the next minute he was denying that they were even an item. This guy is a player, for sure. What I can’t figure out is why Jennifer even gave him a second chance at all. Was she that hard-up for a date to the Oscars? If it were me, I’d have rather gone alone. Or better yet, take along that adorable yellow lab from “Marley and Me.” He’s probably less of a dog than Mayer!

Hell yeah she was hard-up for a date. That’s the only time she IS with a man – when she knows she’s going to be asked questions or have to promote something.
It wouldn’t surprise me if she dumped him but not for the reasons above – she got what she needed, and just like VV, he’s out the door.
Two questions…
1) Why were those two even AT the Oscars?
2) Why can’t she see that she’s either a lousy partner or has bad taste in men?
I feel so bad for her. She seems like such a friendly and likeable person and she just can’t catch a break. The good ones always finish last…I wish her the best.
DumpeR or DumpeE — either way, she’s better off without him. He’s a real douchebag, can’t believe he still has any fans left!
Oh BS. This is why she ‘dated’ Mayer in the first place: because he’s a player. You can spin the stories about what’s going on in their ‘relationship’ til the cows come home. Because he’s already suspect from the out.
As opposed to someone like her ex-husband who’s generally done when there’s a split. If it was some nice guy she’d paired up with there’d be no stories to tell.
Mayer was a maximum PR move. She probably dumped him because when she moves on to her next film she can flirt with her co-star and generate more publicity while it’s reported that Mayer’s jealous and looking for a reconciliation.
And so on…
She could have pick a better guy but she didn’t want one. Then she’d actually have to be invested in the outcome of the relationship and risk being hurt again. She’s not going there again in a hurry – if ever again.
She should hook up with Gerard Butler or as someone else stated in another blog, John Stamos.
I agree that he’s a player (and maybe she’s better off without him), but I can understand his motivation. He’s a young, rich, rock star. Why wouldn’t he want to bag every gorgeous woman he can get his hands on while he’s still in the prime of life? Doesn’t hurt when they’re also incredibly famous and can garner him even more attention. The guy’s not really as dumb as he acts.
You have to be together to break up, and this was a match made in PR heaven. Last time her “friends” started leaking items like he was cheap and she had to pay for everything (and a couple more) so he did what any PR whore would, held an impromptu press conference with the paps. Her “friends” are now starting to leak that she dumped him so I expect another press conference from him in the next few days. It’s a shame, though, they really deserved each other!
Oh god… This is going to get interesting in the comments. I can’t wait for people to create different names that bash either one of them. That’s the FUN part about coming back to this topic in an hour or so.
Entertainment’s most boring couple.
This all sounds like Ground Hogs Day. Didn’t this conversation already take place when the broke up before? He says he dumped her then her “friends” say, oh no, she did the dumping.
He is a player and so is she. Why is it she is always innocent and “poor Jennie po”. Good grief, she is an adult who makes adult choices, she is not an innocent little waif, so stop with this “poor pitiful Jen” crap.
^^^May, absolutely true. This is the modus operandi whenever a relationship with Aniston ends. It’s always his fault and a “friend” spills the details making her the innocent victim of the douchebag man. I’m always amazed that her fans fall for this PR driven crap in the first place. Two weeks ago it was “I love everything about him” and now it’s over. Again. Now there are two options when she begins to promote her new movie: 1. She will be fabulous and forty and nude on the cover of some magazine while simultaneously declaring that she is in a good space. Or 2. She will be hooked up to some new guy who the media will speculate plans to impregnate her during the press tour. That’s the way it’s been since the end of her marriage and it will continue to be as long as her fans fall for her shenanigans.
lessons to be learned: fame and beauty cannot buy love.
I can’t stand this woman but.. give her a break. She put up with JM for long enough. If it weren’t love it would be calculated PR. In both cases, enough is enough. I’m glad she doesn’t need to see him anymore.
lol who confirmed the break-up? a “close pal”? her rep said he won’t answe the rumors about her, because serves no point. so tell me, is that a “confirmation”? next week when you’ll see pics of them together you’ll say: look, they’re back together; you’re all so lame
Who care who dumped who just as long as they are done.
She should just shut up!! Who cares?!?!
Why are people saying they feel sorry for her. This is not a teenager. This is an adult woman who has been successful and has her own money. She is the one who was doing all the interviews talking about how they adored each other, how she feels protective of him, how happy she is, how he just thinks thoughts.. But in his interview with Ryan he said he was there for moral support. That he was overwhelmed by the event. That she was sweet to him..did that sound like a boyfriend. And the vaca pics. Everyone with eyes saw that she was the one showing all the affection. NOT him. He disrespected her in front of millions of people. Then she went back. Her answer to his break up claim.. Oh he had to do that because of who I am..WTF does that mean. And why did she need all this support to present at the Oscars. She and Brad have been over for 5 years. Give me a break. She wanted to have a younger man on her arms to show Brad; who could have cared less. She is a WOMAN not a little girl..Suck it up and move on like every other woman and man in this world does when they end a relationship or are DUMPED. I am sick of her. I loved her in friends. but damn Jennifer Aniston is not Rachel Green. Rachel was actually pretty strong.
He is not a real man. He can’t control his ego and childish nature.
The minute they broke up, he ran around town, letting anyone who would listen that he was the one who dumped her, while her camp gave the classic “mutual ending”.
It’s been years ever since I saw a guy so pathetic. He thinks he is in high school or something.
I think he played her just like he played Jessica, Cameron and all the rest of them.
He pretends to be “into” them, and once he got enough publicity or in Jen’s case- to be at the Oscars, he is done with them.
Mayer “turning cold” made sense to me. For one thing, he said before the Oscars that he was going to disappear afterwards in order to record more songs. He said he’d been having a great time partying but it was time to get back to work. His posts on his Web site confirm that he’s been busy working (and the new song is great).
Meantime, Jennifer was not acting like a woman in love while promoting her movie in Europe. She couldn’t take her hands off Owen Wilson (even if they were publicity photos, she definitely overdid it) and was quoted as saying that her relationship with Mayer was “less than perfect.” It was almost like she was daring him to break it off.
I think Jen would be so much better off with a guy who is not an actor or a singer, that will not use her fame and success for his narcissistic aspirations.
I suppose she noticed that he went cold, and didn’t want to be in such a place, so she dumped him.
I’m just wondering if any women would be stupid enough to date this guy.
I believe she scares men off with her neediness. Poor Courtney she must be so sick of hearing her whining all the time.
I am SICK of this needy, fragile BABY, and the way all of Hollywood has been sucked into her emotional drama! She clearly needs to be the center of attention and dating famous guys gets her what she wants. That’s all I need to feel TOTALLY disgusted by her. She is NOT a role model or a strong woman. Her character, Rachel, was cool, but Jennifer Aniston is pathetic.
@OK Really- well said, couldn’t agree more.
Same shit, different day….
This reminds me of middle school–each person trying to claim that they were the one who did the dumping and not that they were the one who got dumped.
Guess what?
NO ONE CARES.
He’s too young, and he likes publicity hell everyone knows that, i thought it was so weird when she at the oscars was like I really love you to him, i mean thats a little desperate, she overwhelmed him, he doesnt owe her anything, and she should learn that a lot of young guys are like that, and move on, she is a sweet woman, but gets clingy fast-never good
Let’s remember that John Mayer is a specialist at calling it off at peak moments. I will support my statements last year. He is serial and obvious womanizer who is addicted to hurting women emotionally to make himself feel superior. The whole time he’s been with Jen A. I’ll bet my car that he’s already spotedd his next victim.
John Mayer is mad at his mommy I bet.
I can’t say I wasn’t rooting…
Nothing wrong with hoping for the best.
BUT..
Now that its over, supposedly, I hope she stops latching onto the first swinging hairy that shows the slightest bit of interest. Take some “ME” time…
This bimbo dated Mayer and thought it was love? Woa, stupid! She acts like she’s 14 not 40. Sad.
