John Mayer Talks about "Dear John"

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/john-mayer-taylor-swifts-dear-john-song-humiliated-me-20120606#ixzz1wzRC2mlH Quote: John Mayer says that he was "really humiliated" by Taylor Swift's song "Dear John," which the country-pop star allegedly wrote about him. "It made me feel terrible," Mayer says in the new issue of Rolling Stone, on newsstands Friday. "Because I didn't deserve it. I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do." Swift's song, which appeared on her best-selling 2010 album Speak Now, was released shortly after Mayer went on a two-year hiatus following his controversial interviews with Rolling Stone and Playboy. "Dear John, I see it all, now it was wrong / Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?" Swift sings on the tune, a staple of her live set. Swift and Mayer were romantically linked before the song's release, and in an interview conducted shortly after, the singer indicated that the song's subject would be apparent. "There are things that were little nuances of the relationship, little hints," said Swift. "Everyone will know, so I don't really have to send out emails on this one." Mayer now tells Rolling Stone that he learned about Swift's feelings directly from her song. "I never got an e-mail. I never got a phone call," he says. "I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?" When asked about the song's line, "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?" Mayer says, "I don't want to go into that." Mayer also takes issue with "Dear John" as a musician. "I will say as a songwriter that I think it's kind of cheap songwriting," he says. "I know she's the biggest thing in the world, and I'm not trying to sink anybody's ship, but I think it's abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, 'Wait till he gets a load of this!' That's bullshit." Oh boo freaking hoo. That alsobum was over 2 years and your JUST talking about. If it really upset you you would have said something much earlier. Not the biggest fan of Swift but Mayer is annoying and douchey as hell. MH

Details On Miley's Album

http://www.eonline.com/news/miley_cyrus_very_adult_sexy_new_album/321638#ixzz1x3u7wAP9 Quote: Miley has a wedding to plan, but that doesn't mean she's taking a break from her career! A source tells E! News that the engaged star has been quietly working on her next studio album, which is going to be "very adult and sexy and believable." The insider adds that the album will "one hundred percent" come out before she and Liam Hemsworth say "I do." But Cyrus certainly isn't forsaking her hot Aussie beau. In fact, the former Disney star is "on her way" to New Orleans to reunite with Hemsworth later this week, a source says. Hemsworth, 22, is in the Big Easy working on the set of Empire State. Cyrus,19, is planning to spend the week "enjoying her man," according to sources. We have a feeling, though, that she won't be relaxing with Hemsworth for too long. An insider says Cyrus is "having fun making music" for "the first time in her career." "We are watching a young girl turn into a young woman," adds the source. Cyrus is working with various record producers, including Pharrell Williams in Miami and L.A.-based Hit-Boy, who has produced for the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z and Eminem. The ex-Hannah Montana star's engagement is just one piece of her maturation puzzle. Another was her decision earlier this year to part ways with her longtime manager from her Disney days and sign up with veteran music manager Bruce Flohr of Red Light Management. Flohr has worked with artists such as Dave Matthews Band and Foo Fighters and is helping Cyrus cultivate her new sound in studio sessions that an industry source is calling "Miley 2.0." Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I am currently the the last few months of school so everything is getting crazy for me. MH
