John Mayer Gets Detailed

I hate to admit it, but John Mayer looks mighty fine in these shots from the December issue of Details mag!

The outspoken musician/serial dater sat down with the mag and chatted about everything from his rep as a douchebag to his sweet tunes, and he even gave X17online.com a shout out! Well, kinda.

On the subject of blogs, John says:

"Celebrities are the world's worst data gatherers. We're day-trading in a small sliver of a demographic: people who read a third-rate gossip website and just have to post comments. Why would I want to jockey for position intellectually with people who read Perez Hilton or X17online.com?"

Okay, so he's suggesting that our readers aren't exactly the most intelligent individuals, but we all KNOW John checks the gossip sites as much as the rest of us, and he even tips us off on Twitter! Remember that time we caught him at the Hotel Cafe for that intimate performance? That tip was courtesy of a tweet from the man himself!

Anyway, what does John have to say about the people who hate him?

"What if I had a booth on the street and I said, 'Attention, everybody who hates me: If you have a problem with me, I'm ready to hear your gripes! I will be outside the Barneys store on 60th Street from two to four this afternoon ... How many people do you think would be standing there? I'm talking about people getting the chance to tell me directly, 'I think you're a douchebag.' You know how many people would do it? Ze-ro. You know what they'd do? They'd walk up and say, 'I'm just messin' with ya.' And you know what I'd say? I'd say, 'You're a douchebag!'"

Hey, I have something a lot of things I'd like to say to him! After his comment about X17online readers, is there something you'd like to say to him too? Let us know in the comment section below, and we'll send the Twitter addict some tweets later in the day!
