MayerBoarding, Anyone?
· You know what needed a name? The spectator sport in which you sit back and watch John Mayer fart out Twitter apology after Twitter apology about his offensive, narcissistic Playboy interview. I say, old chap! Nice volley. [@johncmayer]
· Uh-oh...Someone's got to break the news to Jeffrey Katzenberg that Spider-Man "SWINGS INTO THEATERS IN 3D ON JULY 3, 2012," according to a Sony press release. [Variety]
· The Hughes brothers will helm a live-action remake of Akira for Warner Bros. [Vulture]
· Did Mark's explanation of the Oscar voting system fail to clear everything up for you? If so, maybe you're man enough to dive into this lengthy exploration of the topic from Little Gold Men. [Vanity Fair]
· Something about this USA Today headline about The Wolfman seems little bit off to me. [USA Today]
· Facebook's grassroots efforts to get Betty White to host SNL have reached the CNN home page, petition signatures in the six-figures, and, in all likelihood, a gig for Ms. Nylund. Hard to believe her name could be uttered in the same breath as such other recent emcee luminaries as Michael Phelps and Zac Efron, but there you have it. [PopEater]
· The original language in Conan O'Brien's contract did indeed stipulate The Tonight Show as being the "series that airs at 11:35" ... and further tales of legalspeak terror from The NBC Crypt of Late Night Horrors! [THR]

1. I just found out that this Mayer guy is some sort of singer, yet I am unable to find anyone that listens to his music.
2. Ye gods, it's the 1950s all over again. Hollywood's facing competition and leaping on 3D as some sort of cure all.
3. I'll believe it when I see it.
4. Nah
5. DON'T USE: This comment is witty, sharp, and guaranteed to be a comment of the week.
6. Betty White is the sort of fresh blood that SNL needs. I'd say to make her a regular, but her hard partying ways might kibosh it.
7. I KNEW IT! That's the only way NBC could have been caught having to pay the full severance package.
That Mayer interview is amazing. For someone so concerned about de-doucheing himself, he failed miserably. But then again, vocal tone doesn't translate through print.
is it wrong that i think he is super-freaking hysterical? this is way better than "jersey shore." for once, someone who veers violently off the PR path and lets us watch the car crash. sofa jumping is nothing compared to this. go mayer go. i might actually buy your album now.
Piece of advice for John Mayer: If you are trying to win people back to your side how about not sending tweets where you refer to your penis as a "monster"? Kinda puts 'em off, ya know?
Ugh John Mayer. Please shut up. You're not funny, you never were, and you'll always be a douchebag. The people who honestly enjoy your music deserve you. As does Jessica Simpson. Your records are, and should be, played in Starbucks. If you have "talent" you don't have to act like a celebutard, unless that's what you prefer, in which case call up Vh1, I'm sure they'd be happy to put you on a reality show.
Remind me to never to shake hands with John Mayer.
