John Mayer has defended his decision to sing about smoking marijuana on his new single.

The singer is releasing Who Says as the first song from his new album Battle Studies, which boldly begins with the question, “Who says I can’t get stoned?”

And Mayer hopes his controversial lyrics will spark debate among listeners as to why the drug has yet to be legalised in the U.S.

He tells PopEater.com, “It’s not a dirty word. It’s not a curse word. It’s a presentation of an idea that makes people think a little harder about what they’re listening to, which I don’t think is the worst thing in the world.”

I’m forever amused by tabloid covers. Do I really believe that Jennifer Aniston spoke the words “HE’S MINE!” Nope.

On John Mayer’s new album Battle Studies, the singer croons, “Friends, lovers or nothing — we can only ever be one.”

And after months of steamy, no-strings-attached hookups with gal pal Jennifer Aniston, the on-off pair have decided what they want to be to each other: full-time lovers!

In the mag, details of the reunited couple’s secret, steamy nights behind closed doors at Manhattan’s ultra-luxe Four Seasons Hotel. Plus, OK! reveals the Friends star’s plan to finally have the baby she’s been wanting for so long.

Sidenote: Did any of you see John Mayer on MTV’s Fantasy Factory?  I watched it, and I can TOTALLY see why he gets all the hottest Hollywood women. He has this weird charismatic, funny, confidant attitude. I sorta developed a good sized crush on the guy! I used to think he was the biggest douche! Now I totally get it!

After failed summer flings with Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are back on, reports the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now).

“He really got to her, and she’s hooked on him,” a source tells Us. “She just can’t let go.”

The couple first got cozy in April 2008 after spending five sexy days together in Miami, but went on to split twice — most recently in January 2009.

A source close to Mayer, 31, tells the new issue of Us, “They are very close. They remain great friends. He thinks she’s amazing, nice and smart, and he has nothing but respect for her.”

Although they dined separately in NYC on Sept. 22, a source tells Us they met later that night at the Four Seasons Hotel. Other reports have claimed they’ve been texting each other and recently dined with Aniston intimates Courteney Cox and David Arquette.

Aniston, 41, has said she “deeply, deeply cares” about Mayer, whose next album, Battle Studies, hits stores Nov. 17.

Seconds a source to Us: “There’s something about John that she just can’t resist.”

Last night, Vulture caught up with John Mayer to ask the singer his thoughts on healthcare reform and Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize. An excerpt of the interview is below:

What do you think about Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize?

I think it’s fantastic.

Why? What’s your overall opinion?

Do you think I’m smart enough to be able to articulate to you why our president receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is a bit early for things? What’s your overall opinion?

I think it’s a bit premature. Someone compared it to giving an Oscar to someone still making a film.

So you don’t think he should have it.

I don’t think its a bad thing, but maybe someone else deserved it more.

Who? If you don’t know who else should have gotten it instead of Obama, I love you, you’re beautiful, but shut your fucking mouth.

What do you think about health care? Would you take the public option?

Have you ever heard me play guitar? I’m really fucking good. You know what I’m bad at? Answering questions about public health care. This is not in my wheelhouse. Do you have any questions about music? I almost got a mad need to lighten up. You need to lighten up, because the questions you asked me were all trouble-making questions. If someone gave me the Nobel Peace Prize, and I didn’t deserve it, I would just shut my mouth and enjoy the hell out of it.

The Fantasy Factory is one of my favorite MTV shows. It’s one of the few shows that my husband and I can watch together (most of my tv drives him nuts!) and we spend a full half hour cracking up. And I think John Mayer is hilarious also - so I’m watching tonight for sure!

Tune into MTV tonight at 9PM!

Latest John Mayer rumor involved him hooking up with a certain Kristen Cavallari. There was a Page Six Blind Item recently that claimed there was a famous singer who has been sleeping with a reality star in secret for two years.  It was taken a bit further and announced by “sources” that the couple were in fact together - and considering going public.

Well, John steps in - and denies the whole thing via Twitter, rather humorously I might add.
