John Mayer Threatens To “Forcefully Sodomize” New York Magazine

by Robert Quigley | 4:19 pm, October 15th, 2009

XXX _JOHN MAYER GAP 1669.JPG Celebrity interviews often get unpleasant pretty fast, but … wow. When New York Magazine’s Christianna Ablahad approached John Mayer for an interview about recent events in U.S. politics, Mayer hit her with a hostile, profanity-laced series of rants in response to almost every question:

A few of the highlights:

Ablahad: I don’t think [Obama's Nobel Peace Prize] is a bad thing, but maybe someone else deserved it more.
Mayer: Who? If you don’t know who else should have gotten it instead of Obama, I love you, you’re beautiful, but shut your fucking mouth.

[...]Ablahad: Is there hope behind the heartbreak [in your music]?

Mayer: The melody is the hope. The lyrics are the heartbreak, the melody is the hope. If you have the lyrics being the heartbreak and the music as the heartbreak, your editor made you ask stupid fucking questions!

[...]Ablahad: You don’t always have to rhyme, though.

Mayer: I’m going to forcefully sodomize your editor.

This does not even scratch the surface. Read the full interview here at Vulture.

I admit, I sometimes have thoughts during a discussion that are a bit hostile. I don’t verbalize them, and I don’t type them out. But if this bumbling reporter was the twentieth interview this month, if I was already having a bad day, and if I had questions this bad… I’d lose it too…

Ah yes… Hollywood society. Masters of civility and intellectualism. Please, tell me again how “middle America is stupid.” And then lecture me on what I should believe.

John, just play the guitar, whisper into the microphone… and then take your own advice and “shut your f***ing mouth.”

John, save it for your tenth high school reunion, will ya? His music isn’t what I listen to – if you’re familiar with his lyrics, the thought of him doing anything “forcefully” is amusing – but he used to write a great music column for Equire. It was always my first read every month.

Expect To See A Lot More Hugh Grant Love On Fox News

by Drew Grant | 2:23 pm, Sunday

Bill O'Reilly and Karl Rove may bust the chops of Sean Penn, Tom Hanks, and other smoking/drinking/eating Hollywood liberals, but we bet the next time Hugh Grant's name appears on the network, there will be nothing but kind words. That's because the Meet the Morgans actor managed to get into a physical altercation with Matthew Freud, son-in-law of Rupert Murdoch and super-critic of Roger Ailes, president of FNC.

Politico Shocked, Upset To Find Congressmen Enjoy National Media Attention

by Frances Martel | 9:25 am, Monday

To most people that have ever spent more than ten minutes of their lifetime's exposed to professional politicians, the fact that they will use anything and everything to claw their way into the national spotlight comes as no shock. To Politico's Jonathan Martin, it's an unsettling new side effect of the national conversation in health care reform.
