It becomes easier to overlook the nagging questions about John Mayer’s possible relationship with Jennifer Aniston when he provides other distractions, such as his tattoos and haircut.

Not long after he returned to New York City after his visit to Miami, Mayer visited his longtime stylist, Sally Hershberger, for a haircut. (Us Weekly reports that Hershberger references photos of Farrah Fawcett and Michael J. Fox before giving him his new feathered ’80-style coif.)

Even Hershberger was curious about his trip to see Aniston. The magazine reports that she asked about his time in Florida. “He said he had a blast. He was bouncing off the ground happy as a clown,” Hershberger revealed.

As for his new tattoo sleeve, a source close to Mayer said that the complicated design “tells a story about loves lost.” OK! magazine probed a little deeper and was told if there is a theme of loves lost, “it doesn’t include any mention of Jessica Simpson.” Ouch.

MARIAH CAREY managed to keep her wedding plans a secret from even her closest friends by convincing them all her trip to the Bahamas with then-boyfriend NICK CANNON was all part of her video plans.

Cannon plays the singer’s love interest in her new promo for Bye Bye and Carey convinced everyone the couple were just shooting extra scenes when they jetted off to her Windermere home with select pals.

But the couple had already decided to wed there.

Carey tells People magazine, “We only told people who had to know… If we brought a million people with us, it would’ve been obvious we weren’t shooting a video.

“Only about four people knew we were going down there to get married.”

The couple flew boxes of Maine lobster and cases of Dom Perignon champagne over to the island, and Carey reportedly picked up the wedding cake herself and discreetly carried it with her.

Carey’s best pal, rapper Da Brat, helped organise a last-minute bachelorette party before the singer became Mrs. Cannon.

Carey and Cannon exchanged vows on the patio of the singer’s island retreat on April 30.

“ENTOURAGE” star Jeremy Piven and Hollywood punk Pink were spotted at Green Door in LA Tuesday night getting hot and heavy on the dance floor.

A rep for Pink con firmed she was at the Green Door, but said, “She was not with Jeremy Piven, dancing or otherwise.” Piven’s rep said, “He was there but didn’t hang out with Pink. Jeremy says she is a friend, a good woman.”

That was the buzz yesterday morning after NBC boss Jeff Zucker was spotted climbing out of his black SUV on a visit to Couric, who left the “Today” show to anchor “CBS Evening News,” at her East Side apartment. But don’t hold your breath. A friend of Couric told Page Six, “Jeff and Katie have been friends for 20 years. He asked her to get a Mother’s Day gift for his wife, Caryn, and picked it up on the way to his daughter’s play.”

“There’s other things I want to do [be sides acting],” he tells Morley Safer on “60 Minutes” this Sunday. “In a matter of weeks, I’m going to be 50.” Bombastic Baldwin was thinking of running for governor two years ago before he lost his temper and left a voice mail for his daughter Ireland, then 11, calling her “a rude, thoughtless little pig.” Given a chance to apologize for calling Kim Basinger’s lawyer, Judy Bogen, a “300-pound homunculus with a face like a clenched fist,” Baldwin replied, “I was being kind, Morley.”

“CSI” co-star Gary Dourdan has been charged with felony possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy stemming from his arrest last month, prosecutors said.

The 41-year-old actor was arrested after police found him asleep in his car in Palm Springs on April 28. He was allegedly parked on the wrong side of the street with the car’s interior light on.

Prosecutors said Dourdan is scheduled to appear in court in Indio, about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, on May 28. The criminal complaint was dated Tuesday.

A call to Dourdan’s attorneys wasn’t immediately returned early Thursday.

Dourdan has played crime scene investigator Warrick Brown on CBS’ “CSI” since 2000.

Several celebrities were in Palm Springs for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in nearby Indio.

Country superstar Eddy Arnold, whose 1965 hit “Make the World Go Away” helped get him elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame the following year, died at a care facility near Nashville Thursday morning, a week shy of his 90th birthday on May 15, the Associated Press reports.

In 1967, the clean-cut country boy with the mellow baritone was the first recipient of the entertainer of the year award from the Country Music Association, and was renowned for lending his voice to the “countrypolitan” Nashville sound, to which he was considered a pioneer.

His other hits included “Cattle Call,” “The Last Word in Lonesome Is Me,” “Anytime,” “Bouquet of Roses,” “What’s He Doing in My World?” “I Want to Go With You,” “Somebody Like Me,” “Lonely Again” and “Turn the World Around.”

Born on a farm near Henderson, Tenn., the son of a sharecropper, Arnold sang on small radio stations in Tennessee and Missouri before building a devoted national audience. Col. Tom Parker, who later shaped the career of Elvis Presley, managed Arnold early in his career.

“I sing a little country, I sing a little pop and I sing a little folk, and it all goes together,” Arnold said in 1970.

His wife of 66 years, Sally, died this past March, the same month Arnold fell outside his suburban Nashville home and injured his hip.

Survivors listed by the AP include a son, Richard Edward Arnold Jr., and daughter, Jo Ann Pollard, both of Brentwood, Tenn.

While her little sister’s wedding plans remain shrouded in secrecy, Jessica Simpson revealed one detail: She’s the maid of honor!

“Of course,” the 27-year-old told PEOPLE when asked if she’ll be standing next to Ashlee on her big day.

Performing in front of nearly 35,000 people at Camp Pendleton Thursday night, Jessica was in fine form for the troops, belting out “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ ” at a three-hour concert that also featured Snoop Dogg, Janet Jackson, Ne-Yo, and Pamela Anderson. Taking the stage in a skin-tight red top, jeans and black stiletto heels, Jessica was greeted by howls and hoorahs.

Little sister Ashlee, 23, and fiancé Pete Wentz (of Fall Out Boy fame) have kept mum on their wedding plans – and her pregnancy.

But she can’t help gushing about her engagement.

While promoting her new album, Bittersweet World, in London, Ashlee proudly showed off her ring on a British chat show saying, “He did a great job.” As for her husband-to-be? “I got a good one.”

Heidi Klum’s tip for losing that pesky baby weight?

Be realistic.

“I always think, ‘Look at how people were before they were pregnant,’” Klum, 34, says in June’s Marie Claire. “If you were a toned, healthy, energetic person, most likely you will be like that again.”

Klum rocked a bikini two months after welcoming her second child, Henry, in a 2005 Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

“A lot of people come to me, and they’re like, ‘Will I look like you after I have the baby?’” she added. “And I say, ‘Well, how were you before?’” she says. “You can’t kid yourself.”

As a mother of three — Leni, 4; Henry, almost 3; Johan, 18 months — Klum insists fitting into her skinny jeans is no longer a priority.

“I always wanted to be a mom,” says Klum, who was honored as Style Icon of the Year at Us’ Hot Hollywood Awards. “At Thanksgiving, I have my parents there, I have screaming kids, I have a big fat turkey - 18 pounds - sitting in the middle; legs are being ripped off that thing, you know what I mean? There’s life in the house.

“I don’t want to be wondering about how skinny I am, wondering what I’m going to eat because I don’t want to gain and I want to look hot and young, always and forever,” she adds.

Her husband Seal also helps her keep things in perspective.

She met the singer in NYC’s Mercer Hotel in 2003 when she was five weeks pregnant with Leni (her daughter from a previous relationship with businessman Flavio Briatore).

The next year, he popped the question atop a glacier in the Canadian Rockies. (They wed in 2005 in Mexico.)

“He took me by helicopter,” Klum recalls. “He had an igloo built there, and they’d brought up everything: a bed with sheets inside the igloo, rose petals everywhere, candles.

“There was food and champagne,” she goes on. “It was a little scary, too, because you’re so cut off from the world. No trees, nothing … but I was ecstatic.”
