Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer were uncharacteristically snapped out and about together in NYC last night just about a day after Aniston‘s Vogue magazine coverstory hit the Internets. You may recall that Jen talked very openly about her new love affair with John in the mag as well as her lingering feelings towards ex-hubby Brad Pitt and his new wife-like partner Angelina Jolie. It would appear that confession is good for the soul because this Mayerston public appearance seems a little out of the ordinary. Here are pics of Jen and John making their way out of the NYC eatery La Esquina late last night:

Days after Jennifer Aniston declared she’s “lucky in love,” she joined her beau, John Mayer, for a romantic dinner date in NYC. The pair met up at Manhattan hotspot La Esquina late Thursday night. Aniston, 39 – dressed in black boots, skinny jeans and a bomber jacket – and Mayer, 30, couldn’t keep their hands off each other, according to a witness. After Mayer settled the bill, they headed over to GoldBar – but not before Aniston sweetly signed autographs and hugged a few fans. At the club, the couple hit the dance floor well into the morning.

Well now … clearly Mayerston are hellbent on giving their second shot a love a fighting chance. I mean … matching black outfits and everything. They are NOT effing around this time. From the beginning, I really liked these two together and was pretty bummed that they decided to call it quits over the summer. To be honest, I never thought they’d actually get back together so I’m glad to see that they proved me wrong. I suppose I should’ve known that the couple might amp up their visibility after Jen‘s Vogue interview came out. As I said, it is very uncharacteristic for Jen to venture out in public with a romantic interest and not try and shun the cameras. This smiling new, photo-friendly Jennifer Aniston is a nice surprise. We’ll have to see if she keeps it up. I’m pretty sure John Mayer is up for happily embracing the paps. Do y’all think that this is the beginning of a serious LTR for the couple?

Jennifer Aniston is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Vogue magazine and, very surprisingly, gives a pretty candid interview — talking for the first time, really — about the circumstances surrounding her break-up with ex-hubby Brad Pitt, her feelings on Angelina Jolie‘s involvement with her then-husband and even her current relationship with John Mayer (there’s even a quote about the possibility of having children — “I’ve said it so many times: I’m going to have children. I just know it.”. To my knowledge, this new interview with Vogue is the most open that Jen has been about her private life, like, ever. Here is Jen on the cover of the new issue of Vogue and a portion of her coverstory interview:

Here she comes, in faded cutoffs and a tank top. Has there ever been a more casual star? A more unrepentant Southern California girl? I am standing in the midst of the dust and chaos—the clattering hammers, the buzzing saws—of the massive construction project that is Jennifer Aniston’s sprawling new Beverly Hills home. It is midday in late September, and Aniston is picking her way through the site. As she heads toward me she looks comfortingly—almost defiantly—the same as she always has. Long, sun-streaked hair. Check. Tanned yoga body. Check. Toe rings and hippie beads. Check. There will be no moody movie-star transformations, no fresh tattoos to prove how unpredictable she is. When I arrived a few moments earlier, a big, genial security guy helped me park my car among all the construction vehicles and then took me to an office where a man named Phil introduced himself as Aniston’s “estate manager.” An elegant fellow with a British accent, he is a holdover from her only slightly more grand life with Brad Pitt, when they owned a 12,000-square-foot Normandy mansion not far from here and a big spread in Santa Barbara. “He’s very…Phil,” says Aniston with a laugh. She stops for a second and, as she so often does, rethinks out loud. “Maybe we don’t mention that I have an estate manager.” And then: “He’s more like the butler.” … The post-Brad Aniston is one of the biggest tabloid stars in the world, and her image moves a lot of magazines. Partly because she took two years off from making films, she has been almost entirely defined lately by the tabloids as a woman who dates younger men and spends her days lolling around the pool in Cabo. Woody Allen recently said in an interview that “thoughtful people don’t take the tabloids seriously. They’re basically a form of entertainment.” Aniston knows this, but it still feels to her like a cross to bear. “You basically watch my life,” she says as we eat our chopped salads. “It happens in front of you. And I can protect it and try to control things only to a certain extent. I think what I’m doing now is letting go of the reins a little bit and saying, ‘It is what it is.’ But there is more to me than just a tabloid girl. This whole ‘Poor lonely Jen’ thing, this idea that I’m so unlucky in love? I actually feel I’ve been unbelievably lucky in love. Just because at this stage my life doesn’t have the traditional framework to it—the husband and the two kids and the house in Connecticut—it’s mine. It’s my experience. And if you don’t like the way it looks, then stop looking at it! Because I feel good. I don’t feel like I’m supposed to be any further along or somewhere that I’m not. I’m right where I’m supposed to be.” As we all know, ever since Aniston began dating Pitt in 1998, her love life has never been out of the news. Their divorce only ratcheted up the interest in her every romantic move. These days, the public fascination with her relationship with Vince Vaughn seems almost quaint. I ask her if there’s anything else to be said about that time. “I call Vince my defibrillator,” she says with genuine affection. “He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh! It was great. I love him. He’s a bull in a china shop. He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. And I needed that. And it sort of ran its course.” Most recently she’s been linked with John Mayer, whom she met last February at an Oscar party. “Barely knew his music,” she says. “And then we ran into each other a week later, and that was that.” The two began dating—Aniston flew to England to join him on his tour; they took a well-documented vacation to Miami—and partly because of Mayer’s past relationships with Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt, the paparazzi went bananas. Many people questioned Aniston’s judgment; Mayer, after all, is nine years younger and has a bit of a…reputation. To which Aniston says, half kidding, “People need to mind their own business! Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense?” She laughs, knowing that this has the potential for a good parlor game. “Did Susan Anton and Dudley Moore make sense? Wait! I got more! Did…did…did…Madonna and….” She trails off. “I don’t want to get a dog in that fight…but we’ll think of more.” We both laugh, and then she gets more serious. “But you know, it isn’t designed. Love just shows up and you go, ‘Oh, wow, this is going to be a hayride and a half.’ ” After they split in August, Mayer, having been trailed for days, famously lost it in front of the paparazzi while leaving a gym in New York. In one of the more ill-advised moves in the history of modern celebrity romance, he burst into a rant, saying, among other things, “If you guys are going to…run every lie under the sun…have me as a man who ended a relationship.” Mayer caught a lot of grief for his lack of chivalry, but Aniston chalks up his outburst to inexperience. “He had to put that out there that he broke up with me. And especially because it’s me. It’s not just some girl he’s dating. I get it. We’re human. But I feel seriously protective of him and us. Trust me, you’ll never see that happen again from that man. And it doesn’t take away from the fact that he is a wonderful guy. We care about each other. It’s funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realize, We maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It’s painful. There was no malicious intent. I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that’s where it is.” The aspect of Aniston’s tabloid persona that feels truly off base is that she is “needy” and “clingy” and “obsessive” about ex-lovers. In fact, just the opposite seems to be true. As evidenced from our conversation about Mayer, she seems entirely sanguine about how complicated and unpredictable love can be. She even seems to have made peace with her ex-husband. When I ask if she ever speaks with him, she says, “Yes!” in a tone that suggests that it is almost a silly question. How is he? I ask. She looks at me for a long couple of seconds and makes one of those classic Jennifer Aniston faces, one that lets you know that what she is about to say is going to be…ironic. “He seems…great?” she says. How often do you talk? I ask. “We have exchanged a few very kind hellos and wishing you wells and sending you love and congratulations on your babies. I have nothing but absolute admiration for him, and…I’m proud of him! I think he’s really done some amazing things.” I ask her if she can remember exactly when the post-divorce acrimony receded. “You mean, when were Brad and I healed?” she says. Yes, I say. “Well, it never was that bad,” she says, knowing that it will be hard for a lot of people to believe. “I mean, look, it’s not like divorce is something that you go, ‘Oooh, I can’t wait to get divorced!’ It doesn’t feel like a tickle. But I’ve got to tell you, it’s so vague at this point, it’s so faraway in my mind, I can’t even remember the darkness. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. It wasn’t mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can’t talk to Jen and Jen can’t talk to Brad because this person won’t allow it. It just didn’t happen. The marriage didn’t work out. And pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other. Whoever said everything has to be forever, that’s setting your hopes too high. It’s too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself—because I did! Fairy tale! It has to be the right one!—that’s unattainable.”

OY! I realize that this is a lot to read but the Vogue interview is very long … and there is still more. After the jump, if you so desire, read some more of the Vogue interview where the topic turns to Angelina Jolie (trust me, it’s worth reading) … and also check out a few photos from Jen‘s Vogue magazine photospread …

Lookie, lookie … it appears that the rekindled romance betwixt Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer is still goin’ strong these days. Mayerston have been romantically reunited for a few weeks now but have managed to stay under wraps pretty successfully in that time. The couple were spotted in close physical proximity out in public a couple of weeks ago in order to celebrate John‘s birthday … and here are a couple pics of the pair making their way out of Courteney Cox-Arquette‘s home last night after celebrating the election results there. It would seem that lurve is still very much in the air:

As I understand it, media-shy Jen reportedly decided to reignite her romantic involvement with John on the express condition that he shy away from talking to (or seeking the attention from) the media (and the paparazzi in general). On that account, I think he’s managed to stay out of trubs with her. I seem to recall that John was happy to chat with the photogs the first time he and Jen were together … this time, we’ve seen nary a sight of him either with or without Jen in close proximity. I suspect if the couple is able to maintain this level of detachment from the cameras (well, except for the stray pic here or there of the couple sneaking out of this or that venue) then Mayerston may have a long and happy future together. Might there be Mayerston babies in the future? I guess it’ll depend on how good a boy John can stay in Jen‘s eyes. Good luck!

For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been hearing about Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer creepin’ around together again months after the couple called off their fleeting relationship. The couple were spotted on secret dates in Boston, MA and New York, NY and then made their way to SoCal to continue creepin’ here as well. We heard that Jen helped John celebrate his birthday last week and saw a photo of her making her way into his house on the night of his birthday but we haven’t actually seen a photo of the couple together since last June … until now. Here are a couple pics of Mayerston making their way out of the Sunset Tower Hotel early week after the couple enjoyed a romantic dinner together ahead of John‘s 31st birthday:

Jennifer Aniston and her former boyfriend John Mayer have been photographed together for the first time since their dramatic split earlier this year. The actress, 39, and her 31-year-old singer/songwriter beau joined three friends for dinner at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood last Tuesday night. The rendezvous was the third time the pair have been spotted together in a week, prompting speculation they are giving their relationship another go. Their outing came just days after they were spotted dining in Boston and New York City. The couple broke up in August following a summer romance before last month MailOnline told exclusively how Jennifer had called her ex-partner and reinitiated contact, with them talking daily. On Tuesday night, Jennifer met her friend Courteney Cox and her peers Demi Moore and Kirsten Dunst at the screening of a series of short films for Glamour magazine. After mingling with her fellow female celebrities, Jennifer met up with John and three other friends at the Sunset Tower Hotel for dinner around 10pm.

Ever since Mayerston appear to have rekindled their relationship this time around, the couple have been seen cuddling and canoodling together as if they had never broken up in the first place. In fact, some folks have expressed that the couple may not have really broken up in the first place and were just each bizzy with work commitments that kept them apart physically. Would John Mayer actually tell the TMZ cameras that the couple had broken up when, in fact, they hadn’t? For a guy who doesn’t seem to love the attention from the paps very much, I don’t think he would do that … but he is a jokester and I wouldn’t be shocked if that is what he did. In any event, the couple appear to be back “on” or at the very least very, very friendly with one another again. Personally, I think it’s great that lurve is back in bloom for Mayerston. John is the best thing to happen to Jen‘s romantic life in years, I think. Hopefully, this time around, they can actually make a serious go at it.

HMMM … it’s starting to look more and more like John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston have managed to rekindle their romantic affiliation with one another. Yesterday we saw pics of Jen and John each making their way out separately from the same hotel within moments of one another earlier this week and we learned that Jen made a special appearance at John‘s pre-birthday party on Wednesday night. Yesterday was John‘s actual 31st birthday and he hosted an intimate get-together at his SoCal home last night with, you guessed it, Jennifer Aniston. Here is a pic of Jen making her way into John‘s home late last night:

It should be noted that it is entirely possible that Jen and John are “just friends” and that they have remained in contact since their break-up earlier this year … and it is in the realm of possibility that Jen has been spending all of this time lately with John purely to lend her support on his birthday as a friend … but … I have an inkling that the two of them are goin’ at it again. Mayerston really looked happily in lurve when they hooked up the the first time and John told us himself that the couple split up due to scheduling conflicts … mebbe their schedules got sorted out in such a way that they finally made time to make the sweet lurve once again. I, for one, am glad that Mayerston have gone back to their creepin’ ways. They seem well-suited to one another to me. Are any of y’all happy that they appear to be back together?

Well, well now … it looks like we may have to un-Peace the Spork Out the celeb couple known as Mayerston, especially if all the recent reports about the couple are to be believed. Over the past week, there have been reports that John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston have been hooking up clandestinely in Boston, MA and NYC, NY but until now the pair have not been photographed together. Actually they still haven’t been photographed together but Tuesday night they were snapped in very close proximity ahead of a new report that the couple reconnected last night to celebrate John Mayer‘s 31st birthday (which is today). Here are pics of John and Jen making their way out separately (but right after the other) at the Sunset Tower Hotel here in LA earlier this week:

John Mayer rang in his 31st birthday at exclusive Beverly Hills cigar bar Grand Havana Room October 15 – with back-on girlfriend Jennifer Aniston by his side. The relaxed pair hung out on a private outdoor patio for several hours late in the evening. Mayer, at one point, affectionately stroked Aniston’s hair. The singer – whose actual birthday is October 16 – and the Marley and Me actress, 39, began a whirlwind romance in April, but split in August. On October 10, however, the two appeared to be back on. They took in a Ray LaMontagne concert in Boston and then spent the next couple of days in New York City before flying to Los Angeles on a private plane. Another public date followed on October 13, where they dined and drank wine with three pals at Sunset Tower’s Tower Bar. “They were holding hands at one point and seemed very much back on,” a witness tells Us.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. I usually immediately discount the first reports of a couple’s reunion but with each subsequent sighting, the story seems more clear. It’s very telling the Jen would come out for John‘s birthday celebration … which adds credence to the earlier reports that the pair were seen on dates back on the East Coast. Does this mean that Mayerston are going to plunge headlong back into a relationship with one another? Lawd, I hope so. Individually, they are each so uninteresting. Together they make a very nice couple and I hope they are able to rekindle their failed romance in order to give things another try. After all, what do they each have to lose?

A whole slew of celebs have gotten together to appear in a PSA produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, will.i.am, Tobey Maguire and Forest Whitaker in an effort to encourage the American youth to register to vote by telling them not to vote. The vid is a lengthy 4 minutes long but is deffo worth watching in full:

Last Tuesday we saw pics of Jennifer Aniston chillin’ in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with a mysterious-looking fellow and today we get to see a few more pics of Jen continuing to enjoy her Mexican holiday … only this time, she is manless and bikiniclad … behold:

You gotta admit, she is lookin’ damn good these days. I think it’s actually a good thing for her to chill out on the man sitch for a while and just roll solo. As much as I liked her with John Mayer (pour one out for Mayerston, please) I think it’s great that she is able to enjoy being alone as well. Rest up, Jen … and soak up some of that sun for all of us, too.

Well now … it apparently didn’t take long for Jennifer Aniston to get over her breakup with John Mayer. Here are a few new pictures of Jen down in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with a mysterious new dude which were taken a couple of weeks ago. You may recall the last time we saw pics of Jen enjoying the company of a male companion while on holiday was when she was just hooking up with John Mayer … so does this mean she is beginning a new relationship with this new gent?

Now, in all fairness, I suppose it’s possible that Jen is just casually canoodling with this dude and nothing of substance may come if it at all. In fact, if it weren’t for that last especially snuggly photo of Jen with this dude, one could’ve assumed they were just friends or close cousins or something (tho, I suppose I may be mistaking “snuggliness” for Jen just reaching down to pick up her purse or something). I dunno … Jen doesn’t often sneak away to resort locations with men unless it means something. Seeing these pics makes me miss Mayerston … is that wrong?

Jennifer Aniston has returned to the NBC family … well, at least for a little bit. Here are pictures of Jen on the NYC streets set of 30 Rock filming new scenes last night for her upcoming guest stint on the show. According to reports, Jen will play a crazy Fatal Attraction-like stalker … which sounds like a role she can pull off successfully:

Jennifer Aniston will guest star on an episode of 30 Rock NBC confirmed on Tuesday. The former Friends star will play a “free-spirited, Fatal Attraction-like stalker” NBC said in a statement. Aniston’s character, Claire Harper, is Liz Lemon’s (Tina Fey) former roommate from Chicago who shows up in New York and latches on to Jack Donaghy Alec Baldwin. “Jennifer is not only incredibly lovely to have around, she also has what the young people would call ‘mad skills.’ We’re very excited that she’s joining us,” show creator, executive producer and star Tina Fey said in the statement … Aniston – has previously made guest appearances on Dirt and South Park. 30 Rock premieres on October 30.

While Jen did do guest stints on Dirt and South Park, I think that this upcoming guest spot on 30 Rock will really be a great way to remind the TV viewing audience that she is a very funny actress. She was integral to making Friends the huge success that it was/is and I really do miss that part of her. In recent years, she has moved so far away from her role as Rachel Green that, for me, has lessened her appeal. Whether it’s fair or not, it was that role that really endeared her to me and made me a fan of hers. I am very much looking forward to seeing her in this role, I bet she’s gonna hit it out of the park on this one. She can be a very funny physical comedian, from the looks of the pictures coming out of the 30 Rock set she’s really gonna turn it out for this role. So whadd y’all think? Are any of y’all looking forward to Jen‘s guest spot on 30 Rock? Does anybody care?
