Why so silent, John?

John Mayer is known to have quite the reputation throughout Hollywood and the media, whether it be from his womanizing ways to his outlandish quotes.

Hearing that the Grammy Award winning singer would pass up a press opportunity seems almost incomprehensible, but the day has finally arrived.

Mayer avoided all contact with the media Monday night while on the red carpet for VH1’s Save The Music gala, according to an E! Online report. This comes after he decided to stop ‘tweeting’ this past September.

This is quite surprising since in the past he would never pass up an opportunity to talk to media, have his opinions and ideas heard, and basically just try to be the center of attention.

He was quoted before saying, "Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you'd bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day." This is yet more evidence of Mayer wanting to be on the tip of people’s tongue, and don’t even get me started on how strikingly intelligent this makes him sound as well.

Mayer is usually not one to hold back on what he is feeling either. During interviews he has given personal details about relationships he has had with Hollywood starlets, such as Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston.

He has spoken very candidly about his relationship with Simpson, saying that she was like “crack cocaine” to him and their relationship was like “sexual napalm.”

Seeing this outspoken nature in his past, it makes me wonder what has changed. Is there something new in Mayer’s life that he is trying to keep secret from the media? Or is he simply trying to change his ways after backlash from fans and some media over comments that he has made?

Either way I am completely content with him keeping his mouth shut. I love Mayer’s music, but he makes it really hard to respect him as a person when I hear some of the things that come out of his mouth.

Keep up the good work John!

The Speidi Saga Continues

It’s a real life version of the flower pedal game we used to play as kids, are they together or are they not? This game could seemingly go on forever when talking about Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

We all know that this rollercoaster of a relationship began on “The Hills” and has been in the public eye ever since. We just can’t get away from ‘Speidi.’

It was greatly publicized this summer that the couple was separated and had filed for divorce.  That’s not dramatic enough though, because according to the 'Today Show' the divorce would become finalized on Valentine’s Day in 2011.

But fear not my friends, Montag and Pratt are back together once again. Apparently they found a new flower to pick from.

Montag called off the divorce last month and is already back to talking about how happy she and Pratt are together, according to People magazine. They were even in Las Vegas together to celebrate Halloween. How precious!

I can only hope that this doesn’t lead to a new storm of Speidi publicity stunts, as they have a long list of acts in the past.

There were first their many feuds with friends and family while on “The Hills.” Pratt went through a stage of not speaking to his own sister and throwing a fit if they were in the same place, and even yelled at Montag’s mother on a couple of occasions.

Montag tried to launch a music career, the album was ironically called “Superficial,” but no one would take her on and produce it. They then made a big deal about producing the album themselves and of Pratt filming the music video of Montag prancing on the beach.

Perhaps the biggest scandal so far has been Montag’s plastic surgery insanity. Just last November she underwent 10 procedures at once, all at the ripe old age of 23. Afterwards she talked about how she was finally the “real” her.

Neither of these people have done anything beneficial for society, so why we keep paying attention to them and playing into their publicity stunts is a mystery to me. I hope that their games are over now that they are back together, but that’s on the off chance that they have a legitimate relationship and are actually trying to make it work.

Otherwise I hope the media can shut them out and we can all live in a Speidi free world.
