HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — John Mayer has slammed The Huffington Post after the news site suggested he might be dating Jennifer Aniston again.
The 32-year-old singer bashed the site for taking his concert comments last weekend out of context and joining the ranks of the tabloids.
"Huffington Post, this is reporting?" Mayer asked on his blog about the piece titled "Back Together?" "How do you pay your writers now, in Silly Bandz? Do you meet your sources in a malt shoppe? This is equal parts fabricated, cobbled together and misleading. Let’s break it down: I don’t think I ever said 'I believe in second chances!' but I can’t be 100 percent sure, as it’s possible I could have accidentally said something succinctly and to the point. The next sentence is from the song 'Half of My Heart,' in reference to the idea that meeting new people allows for hiding old mistakes. (Well, for most people at least.) The sentence about texting comes from the show’s encore, 'Edge of Desire,' in a moment of giving people permission not to beat themselves down for still wanting someone. Two sentences about different things at different points in a concert."
"The reason I’m calling you out instead of all the other magazines that make stories up out of thin air is that In Touch and Star Magazine aren’t concurrently writing pieces about Pat Tillman or WikiLeaks," Mayer continued. "Those other rags know who they are, and even if they’re obnoxious, I’d rather have to live with them because they (and the rest of the world) know where they stand, which doesn’t make them one tenth as dangerous as you are. You’re a stripper wearing reading glasses. Or maybe you’re an insolvent law student willing to dance for a few extra dollars. Either way, it’s uncomfortable to watch you try to wrap yourself around a pole when you have that C-Span scar."
He ended, "I’m not a politician. I have no celebrity endorsements. So it is with a clear conscience that I’m able to title your piece on this post, should you decide to try make a few more bucks for whatever body wash or slasher flick you’re hocking today."
