Hizzoner, the Mayer of Fibbington
With rumors spreading like wildfire, perhaps the best thing to do is spread some more…kinda like firemen setting a backfire to sap a blaze’s energy. Maybe that’s John Mayer’s strategy, because he told the crowd at his St. Louis show last night:
“When I was a child I would kill small animals and wear their teeth as necklaces. True. Print that. And I’ve always felt deep down that I was born a woman.”
On tour with Jennifer Aniston in tow, John set off on this goofy rumor jag after telling the amused multitudes that he enjoyed it when fans emailed him dubious tales from the tabloids. Some of the other felicitous fabrications, per People magazine, which John shared with the crowd:
He fears the color green. He weighed 400 pounds when he was 12. He wrote the lyrics to the Kenny Loggins hit “Danger Zone” at age 9. And he’s “33 percent done” with building a time machine.
Nice going, John. With rumors this good, who needs reality?
Britney Spears Gets Down To Business
Britney Spears Gets Down To Business
Following a business meeting at the trendy West Hollywood restaurant Sur, Britney Spears made her way to her car through a sea of paparazzi and fans.
It seems the “Gimme More” singer is hot on the trail of a comeback, with constant trips to the gym and regular sessions in the recording studio. So it only makes sense that she’d be in the midst of talks with industry execs to give her career a boost.
Then last night, Miss Spears stopped by a taping of “Rock the Cradle,” a show that pits aspiring pop stars, who have rock and roll in their family background, against one another. The offspring of Dee Snider, Kenny Loggins, and Olivia Newton John were all competing.
But most importantly, Brit’s former manager/friend Larry Rudolph is the show’s judge, and he told press that he was honored to have the support of the “Toxic” singer.
Rudolph told press, “She was here to support the show. I mentioned to her that I was going to my show. She said, ‘I want to come down.’ She loved it. She really loved it. She didn’t come here for publicity or anything like that. She came here because she wanted to see the show, which I appreciated.”
