John Mayer Sets the Record Straight on Prince Street

For some levity: By now, everyone who reads US Weekly or TMZ knows that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer broke up (either he dumped her, or her dog hated him so she chose the dog, or he cheated). But when stopped on the streets of Soho yesterday--and in spite of being annoyed by gossip rags making stuff up--Mayer decided to talk because "I just don't want to be followed around New York City like an animal." And while trying to explain why he broke up with the "sophisticated" and "lovely" Aniston, he said he didn't want to waste her time and it's not unusual to break up with somebody "if something's not right...I guarantee 20% of the people on this street right are in a relationship they wish they could get out of but they don't know how." (This street would be Prince Street, between Crosby and Broadway.)

Remember all those "Friends" stars, how grating they were and how we thought we'd never hear the end of them and their talentless careers and daytime drama lives? Well, this is it, the end of the line. Anniston separated from a huge star, then a minor irritant masquerading as a star. Next, the last two people who care will be reading about her breakup with fiance Nathan Fischbaumer, a dentist in Central Islip.

That doesn't look like John Mayer.

Aniston doesn't want to risk losing her figure by having kids probably. When she turns 40 and realizes she can't look 21 without drastic plastic surgery and constant upkeep, it will be too late to have kids. And it isn't like her acting career is on the fast track at this point either.

I hear the dog liked Brad. But she didn't like kids so Brad split.

Life's a bitch then you turn 40.

"By now, everyone who reads US Weekly or TMZ knows that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer broke up (either he dumped her, or her dog hated him so she chose the dog, or he cheated)".

The proverbial bottom of the barrel in news disemination; multiple choice gossip.

The last line here made the entire article worth it.

Isn't there another overrated douchebag & past-her-prime actress couple we can read about today? John Mayer is a talentless whiner & should be glad he's getting ANY attention from the press, because his music is nothing worth covering.

Interesting that she is leaving the "golden age" of thirty something and he is just arriving. Maybe in ten years she will be ready to have kids.
