John Mayer, Twitter aficionado extraordinaire, gave an interview to MTV and talked at some length about how he can totally understand why popstar Miley Cyrus would feel the need to delete her Twitter account. While Mayer makes it very clear that he would never let anyone force him to quit Twitter (saying he would rather tell the world to “eat [his] asshole” before he’d delete his account) he also says he can identify and can understand why she would choose to. Here is a pic of BFFs John Mayer and Miley Cyrus posing together a few years ago and some excerpts from his interview with MTV:

Nearly two weeks after Miley Cyrus quit Twitter, John Mayer sounds off what he has in mind about her abrupt departure from the micro-blogging site. To MTV News the rock singer shares, “I think she’s smart enough to realize there is some interference of the brain that she doesn’t want to deal with. Artists have enough to deal with.” “She’s a child, she’s a fantastic artist – I think there’s enough mental real estate being taken up by dealing with all of that stuff,” John continues stating. “For whatever reason, I am old enough and smart enough to tell someone to go fuck themselves if they tell me to go fuck myself. I think if you’re in Miley’s situation, it might take a little too much time to play goalie for your own heart and mind. So I totally get it.” “Miley is somebody who’s made a bunch of money doing something she loves. Most people do things they hate, for less money. If somebody can re-purpose something that somebody loves doing for a lot of money, in order to make a little bit of that money, they’re gonna do it,” John goes on explaining. “So nobody hates Miley Cyrus; they’re just picking up on her brand, re-purposing it, to try to make a little bit of Miley cash. It’s damaging people’s minds. Imagine Shannen Doherty with a Twitter account, back in the ‘90210′ days. That would’ve just flat-out killed her.” Asked if he has ever thought of deleting his Twitter account, John jokingly tells MTV News, “I would rather tell the world to eat my asshole before I would delete my Twitter account.” Miley Cyrus deleted her Twitter account in a sudden on Wednesday, October 7 and provided no single explanation for fans. She later on released a YouTube video in which she rapped her reason for quitting the popular social networking site, citing the need for privacy.

HMMM … when Mayer says that Miley is a child, he is absolutely correct … I don’t know that I agree with much more, tho. It’s very clear that he is a big Twitter lover (in fact, it is reported that his fervent tweeting is what killed his relationship with Jennifer Aniston earlier this year) and it’s obvs that he loves talking about it as much as possible. I love that John is sticking up for Miley Cyrus tho … in the grand scheme of life it’s such a non-issue but to have John Mayer chime in with his $0.02 makes all the difference in the world.

It would seem that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have rekindled their special relationship after the couple broke up earlier this year (reportedly Jen dumped John because he posted too much of the couple’s personal biz on Twitter). As you may recall, Mayerston first broke up in August of 2008 (Mayer called a “press conference” with the paparazzi to explain why the couple split up) but then they got together in October of ‘08 in time to celebrate birthdays and movie premieres together. Now we’re hearing that the couple are hanging out again … because they have “remained close” even after their break-up. HMMM … does this mean we’ll be seeing a lot more of Mayerston out and about again?

It’s not the first time Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have reunited after a split, but the couple are simply “enjoying their friendship,” says a source close to the singer. “They’ve been talking for a while – they’re very friendly.” Adds another source, “They’ve remained close.” The duo recently spent a night together late last month at New York City’s Bowery Hotel. “Jen was there on the arm of John and they were all very lovey,” says an onlooker. “She was in casual clothing as was he, and she seemed very comfortable around his crowd of friends.” Aniston, 40, and Mayer, 31, first called it quits in August 2008, only to reunite months later for a short time – and then split once again in March after a very public appearance together at the Oscars. At the time of their most recent split, a source told PEOPLE, “Jen got her feelings very hurt and she is done with John for good. They have no contact for now.” Reps could not be reached for comment.

Interesting … it sounds like Mr. Mayer has got a heaping dose of something that Ms. Aniston can’t live without. Whether these two are just enjoying a new round of booty callin’ or they are serious about fostering a real relationship together, I have to say that I am thrilled that Mayerston appear to be back together. They are such a fun celeb couple … one day they’re hiding from the cameras, the next day they’re mugging for the cameras … it’s always a fun time with Mayerston! I can’t wait to see more of these two out and about. What do y’all think … are you happy that Jen and John seem to be back on?

So … some sort of bet went down yesterday between John Mayer and TMZ on Twitter over a little matter of Mayer’s arrest in 2001. From what I can surmise, Mayer bet TMZ $25,000 (to be donated to charity) that they couldn’t find his mugshot from an arrest that took place many years ago (his actual tweet challenge read thusly, “Challenge: if Harvey Levin at TMZ can produce my mug shot, I will donate 25k to the charity of his choice.”. TMZ took the bet and started searching … altho TheSmokingGun.com posted the mug shot about 5 minutes before TMZ did, TMZ claimed victory that they did “find” the mug and Mayer agreed to pay up. Here is the infamous John Mayer mug shot:

It turns out that Mayer was arrested on May 26, 2001 in Atlanta, GA for driving with a suspended license (see what I mean about those traffic violations piling up and becoming serious offenses?) and was booked and mug shotted. Because TMZ won the bet, Mayer agreed to pay the $25k which will be split between 2 animal charities. I dunno why Mayer thought that TMZ wouldn’t find the mug shot … even if TheSmokingGun.com beat them to the punch, he should’ve known that TMZ is really good at sniffing out mug shots. At least the money is going to a good cause … so it’s the needy animals that really come out the winners here.

John Mayer spent his Saturday night partying with his friend Rob Dyrdek (of MTV’s Rob & Big fame) at club MyHouse here in Hollywood, CA last night and it appears that Rob may have had a wee bit too much to drink. Ever the able BFF, John was on hand to help carry his friend out of the club and into their waiting vehicle:

John posted a tweet on his official Twitter profile last night explaining that he went with Rob to the hospital after they left the club … apparently Mr. Dyrdek had to have his stomach pumped and the contents were worthy of applause:

In triage at Cedars with @robdyrdek. When the contents of his stomach hit that silicon bag and we all saw it, we just broke into applause.

You know you’re a good friend when you not only take care to help carry your drunken buddy out of a club and to the hospital but to be there when he gets his stomach pumped … that’s a bro right there. Well done, John!

John Mayer made his way out to Santa Monica, CA yesterday in order to get in a little work-out with his personal trainer and homeboy busted out some sweet kick-boxing moves for us to enjoy:

At last, the mystery is solved. Now we now know how Mayer is able to get all the hot chicks to flock to him. It seems clear to me that no woman would be able to deny a man with sweet moves like this. I mean, he gets bonus points for flexibility alone! Don’t you think that John Mayer is such a ladykiller? Please Mayer, don’t hurt ‘em.

On Saturday we saw photos of John Mayer playing host aboard the Mayercraft Carrier cruise ship that transported 3,000 fans to Mexico and back for a 4-day pleasure/concert cruise. In addition to entertaining his guests with his interesting outfit choices, John also played nightly concerts for his fans — even taking requests from the audience … requests like sniffing a pair of mankini that were thrown on stage for him:

Now, I realize that John Mayer has got made love for his fans but I dunno … I’m not sure I’d sniff anything that was thrown at me from a random stranger. That mankini could’ve been worn by anybody. The cruelest joke ever would be if someone tossed John’s own mankini on stage for him to sniff — blaurgh! That’s fan devotion right there.

John Mayer hit the high seas with a boatload of fans, literally, as his Mayercraft Carrier 2 sailed out on its second annual 4-day cruise from California to Mexico yesterday. As you may recall, last year Mayer word a Borat-inspired green mankini thong on the cruise to the delight/horror of his Mayercraft passengers but this year he had something a bit different in store for his guests … but we’ll get to that in moment. Here are a few photos of John’s first performance aboard the Mayercraft Carrier yesterday … you will note that John opted for nice, see-thru tank top so that all could get a nice peek at his nips:

I have to admit, this cruise thing sounds really fun and I’m sure it’s a real treat for John Mayer fans to get to enjoy a cruise with him. The fact that he performs every single night is just … brilliant! I’m not a huge John Mayer fan musically (tho, I do like many of his songs) but I can see how big fans would love an event like this. Trust me, if Tori Amos did this sort of thing you better believe I’d be there year after year.

To welcome his guests aboard his ship this year, John wore an extra special outfit for the occasion. After the jump, check out the getup that he wore on board yesterday to get the party started …
