Mayer makes the tabloids
John Mayer not only has a new album coming out, apparently he’s got a new woman in his life — Jessica Simpson.
The Bridgeport-born, Fairfield-raised Mayer is now tabloid fodder as a big spread in the Sept. 4 National Enquirer reported how the two are “making beautiful music together.�
The cover of US Weekly trumpets Mayer as “a new love for Jess.�
According to the magazines, the pair met at a Grammy party last year and exchanged messages and phone calls before just recently starting to date.
The Web site www.SFGate.com reports Simpson spoke to Us Weekly about the relationship, saying that Mayer was great and that she wanted to “keep it private.�
Coincidentally, Mayer and Simpson have both had recent voice problems. Laryngitis forced Mayer to miss his Aug. 26 concert in Hartford and Simpson said her troubles were caused by a “busted blood vessel that bruised her vocal cords.�
This is Mayer’s second excursion into the world of the tabloids, as he had a much-publicized relationship with actress Jennifer Love Hewitt a few years back.
Tabloid appearance are obviously nothing new to Simpson, whose adventures with singer Nick Lachey started when they were dating and continued through their marriage and June 30 divorce.
Of course, the cynic in me will point out that both Mayer and Simpson have new albums and this could be nothing but a way for the two stars to get their faces plastered wherever possible.
But the National Enquirer and US Weekly are never wrong. Are they?
Mayer’s new album, Continuum, will be released Sept. 12 and Simpson’s latest, A Public Affair, came out Friday.

Mayer has some talent but Simpson is just a body and when that goes she will fade into the sunset
