The notorious charmer was spotted chatting up Kim Kardashian in the lobby of Sirius XM here earlier this week. Mayer, who’s been linked to a string of famous women, including Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson, tried his magic on curvy Kim while taking a break from sound checking for his acoustic performance on Sirius’ Coffee House channel.
A spy said, “They talked closely for several minutes.” But to no avail — Kardashian is happily dating New Orleans Saint star Reggie Bush.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson may be getting back together – with the help of an unlikely friend.
John Mayer was spotted playing relationship counselor to the exes when they ran into each other at NYC hot spot Butter on Monday night.
And Mayer may have worked a miracle.
“Lindsay and Sam didn’t arrive together,” says a partygoer. “Lindsay walked in, and the two said a quick hello, but then Linds went to the table where John was sitting.”
According to the source, Sam eventually came over to the table but sat far away on the opposite side – much to LiLo’s dismay.
“Lindsay looked upset that Sam hadn’t come over to her, and she started whispering to John, who looked like he was trying to calm her down,” says the snitch. “She looked pretty angry. Then John got up and went to talk to Sam.”
We’re not sure what he crooned to the famed deejay, but it must have been pretty convincing: Ronson got up with Mayer and went over to La Lohan just a few minutes later.
The source notes that after Mayer’s intervention, the tumultuous twosome spent much of the night talking and laughing. La Lohan even ended the evening looking content – and (dare we say it?) stable.
“Lindsay seemed happier than she has in ages,” the spy says. “Sam eventually got up and deejayed for a while, and Lindsay kept standing up and looking over to the deejay booth, smiling.”
In between watching Ronson, Lohan hung out with the likes of movie critic Ben Lyons and singer/songwriter Blake Ian.
Mayer, having done his good deed for the week, ducked out before Linds and Sam did – but not without a hug from LiLo and a more-than-friendly goodbye from a scantily clad blond.
“Lindsay and Sam both stayed past 3,” the partygoer says. “They didn’t leave together, but they definitely ended the night on good terms.”

Mayer did, however, share his cake with model Paige Butcher, who was also celebrating her b’day at the club. Noticeably absent was Mayer’s ex, Jennifer Aniston, with whom he’s reportedly remained friends.

Vulture had the pleasure of running into world-renowned blues legend John Mayer at a party at the Elle Decor-sponsored Armani/Casa party, where he was playing host. Since he’s known for political outspokenness and the trenchant commentary of hits like “Waiting on the World to Change,” we figured we’d ask his opinion on health-care reform and Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize. Our freewheeling conversation touched on seventies mustaches and his new album, and concluded, naturally, with the threat of forced sodomy. Enjoy!
What do you think about Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize?
I think it’s fantastic.
Why? What’s your overall opinion?
Do you think I’m smart enough to be able to articulate to you why our president receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is a bit early for things? What’s your overall opinion?
I think it’s a bit premature. Someone compared it to giving an Oscar to someone still making a film.
So you don’t think he should have it.
I don’t think it’s a bad thing, but maybe someone else deserved it more.
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.
What do you think about health care? Would you take the public option?
Have you ever heard me play guitar? I’m really fucking good. You know what I’m bad at? Answering questions about public health care. This is not in my wheelhouse. Do you have any questions about music? I almost got a mad need to lighten up. You need to lighten up, because the questions you asked me were all troublemaking questions. If someone gave me the Nobel Peace Prize, and I didn’t deserve it, I would just shut my mouth and enjoy the hell out of it.
Which I’m sure he’s doing.
What’s he going to do, send it back? It’s like I’m getting a wrongful bulge in my pants and everyone’s thinking I’ve got a nine-inch cock. I’m not going to argue with them, I’m going to let them think I have a nine-inch cock.
How about a style question?
Yes, this seems to be apropos. Do you get paid for this?
I do it more for fun.
You do this for fun? That’s like me saying … never mind.
What do you think about guys with seventies mustaches?
I don’t give a fuck about who wears their face what way. If I could grow a beard, I’d have some nutty things going on on my face.
You can’t grow a beard?
It’s a pituitary thing. I know you’re not that much of a moron.
These are questions my editor wanted me to ask. I’m trying to build my journalistic career here.
You’re not building a journalistic career. You’re making yourself look like a moron and you’re not a moron. Who’s your editor?
Jada.
Jada is making you sound like a moron in front of people.
Why don’t you tell me about your new album? You’ve been in the studio for a while.
I have a record coming out November 17.
Any particular theme or inspiration behind this one that makes it different from previous albums?
Look what we’re doing right now! We’re connecting right now! This is great! Yeah, it’s going to be quite melodically bright, but the themes are all about heartbreak.
How is that different? Haven’t you written a lot about heartbreak?
I think most artists do, but this is really breaking into the theme of it as a concept.
Is there hope behind the heartbreak?
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! You’re standing in front of me acting as if these questions are fair, but now we’re talking about something real. So there was stuff I wanted to put on the record that just didn’t fit the concept. So the next record will have that concept.
What concept?
More political things, worldly things.
Such as?
Nothing rhymed with public option.
You don’t always have to rhyme, though.
I’m going to forcefully sodomize your editor.

John Mayer got a taste of the big, bad Apple yesterday hanging out in a Lower East Side bar — as a fellow male patron was stabbed in the stomach. The ladies’-man rocker, clad in a leather jacket and jeans, was seen fleeing GoldBar in the wee hours with a gaggle of patrons from the hip lounge on Broome Street after the bloodshed. The 28-year-old victim, who had gotten into an argument with his attacker, was wheeled out on a stretcher moments later and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

You know that gaping whole in John Mayer’s heart, the one in the space Jennifer Aniston used to occupy? Mayer has found something to fill it, and it’s not another lady — it’s the paparazzi. The only problem: Mayer’s relationship with the shooters is a one-way street. Mayer might love the attention he gets, but the paps aren’t interested in him now that he’s no longer with Aniston.
“He thinks he’s famous as Jen now. Last week he went to a party, tipped off the paps, and even had decoy cars at the ready when he was leaving,” says one paparazzo. “Nice, but no one bothered to follow them, which made John think he ‘lost’ everyone, when really no one bothered to follow him.”
Considering how accessible Mayer often makes himself to reporters, bloggers and paparazzi, news that Mayer’s world is no longer a wonderland for the masses might not make sense at first. As it turns out, the explanation is simple: Mayer simply doesn’t sell now that he and Aniston have gone separate ways. According to one paparazzo source, “Pictures of him and Jen were selling for $20,000 at one point. A picture of him alone gets $200 now. Chasing him from his apartment to Nobu is hardly worth it.”

Back in May, weeks after they were introduced by Sheryl Crow, we reported the crooner – a notorious horndog who wrote “Your Body Is a Wonderland” for Jennifer Love Hewitt – was at 1Oak with Adam Levine and “all over some blonde.” Last month, we noted how press-loving Mayer staged a photo op in front of his SoHo apartment. Now Aniston is furious that Mayer spouted off about their split to paparazzi outside the Equinox gym nearby. “There’s no lying, there’s no cheating,” Mayer told the shutterbugs. “I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right.” In a pretense at seeming gallant, he blabbed, “Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I’ve ever met.” A friend of Aniston snarled, “What a creep! He is the biggest jerk ever. How dare he set up a p.r. stunt like that? He should be ashamed of himself and just shut his mouth.”

John Mayer defended Jennifer Aniston and described their recent breakup as “the most normal thing in the world” as he spoke to a group of photographers in the SoHo area of New York City Saturday.
“If you guys are going to run stuff and run every lie under the sun, have somebody stand up for somebody,” the singer challenged. “Have me as a man who ended a relationship stand here and write some truth. Have me stand up for somebody and write that Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I’ve ever met.
“She’s one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met in my life and I’m going through something that’s a very personal thing and you have to give that up,” he said. “You have to give everything up because you can’t have it all and it sucks.”
“I’m sorry that the story’s not interesting,” the 30-year-old added. “But it’s about time that somebody stands up for that girl and I think she’s great.”
Mayer reflected on the situation as “the most normal thing in the world – There’s no lying, there’s no cheating. There’s no nothing.
“People are different, they have different chemistry, they have different lives,” he said. “It’s not about years, it’s about going out with somebody, being truthful on the way in, being truthful in the middle and being truthful on the way out.”
Mayer snapped at a reporter who asked if he’s dating anyone else.
“Why are you asking me that question? I’m being as honest as I can possibly can be,” he responded. “I ended a relationship because there is no lying. I ended a relationship to be alone because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right. I don’t waste people’s time.
“I don’t do ‘the taper,’” he continued. “I guarantee you [that] 20 percent of the people on this street right now who are in a relationship wish they could get out but they don’t know how. And I’m going to be honest on the way in to my relationships and I’m going to be honest on the way out of my relationships.”
“I just feel like spending a million dollars right now to put a mirror in every Us Weekly so that when you’re reading about it, you go, ‘Oh, that was me two years ago’ or ‘That was me a year ago,’” he said.
“You’re either a cheater or you breakup,” he explained. “And I’m not the first. I’m the second one. And that’s it. There’s no lying, there’s no b-llsh-t, I just don’t want to be followed around New York City like an animal.”
On Thursday, Aniston’s rep denied a report that she’s dating model Matt Felker.
In the new issue of Us Weekly, available now, a mutual pal said that the 39-year-old actress’ romance with Mayer (public since April) is “cooling off” after she expressed her desire for commitment — and a baby.
“These are mature people who talk about things maturely,” the pal said. “It’s just slowed down.”
Another source countered: “If she said she wants kids and he’s not ready, that’s not being needy. It’s being honest.”
Check out the latest issue of Us Weekly for the complete story of what went wrong with their rocky romance, including how Aniston turned him off, his kinky behavior and his obsession with her ex Brad Pitt.
