Mayer Trades Up for Aniston
Prev Article
John Mayer has a distinct knack for picking girlfriends who are more famous yet less charismatic than himself. Jessica Simpson. Mandy Moore. Jennifer Love Hewitt. Together they don’t have enough sparkle to power a CFL bulb.
Now, he’s hooked up with Jennifer Aniston. A cute, competent little talent, yes. A definite step up from those other dim bulbs, definitely, but still doesn’t have quite the wattage to outshine him. (Look at how Brad lit out after Angelina like a moth to flame. Jolie is a freaking klieg light.)
She does, however, have the power to get his name all over the gossip pages. Last week, they were snapped making out indiscreetly at a Miami pool. On Saturday, he was rumored to have played at the ‘Marley & Me’ wrap party. The film also stars Owen Wilson, who got booted out of the headlines as soon as Aniston switched allegiance.
Mayer’s strategy has worked so far. His earlier arm candy helped keep his name in the public eye, and he’s had some solid hits. But he may not be able to handle this latest step up. Past flirtations were bigger celebs than he, yes, but all solid B-listers. Aniston is his first fling with the A list.
Her ordinariness may pale next to his magnetism, but her star power is going to pull focus no matter what. We’ll see how long Mayer lasts the first time he’s asked to hold her purse and get out of the shot while the paps snap away.
