John Mayer, 29, tells GQ.com he knew Seacrest, 32, would ask about his fling with Jessica Simpson at this year’s Grammy’s in February.

“When Ryan says, ‘You know I have to ask you’—which is one of the dumbest prefaces of all time—I think, Maybe I’ll just answer you in Japanese,” he
recalls. “And then you’ll have to figure it out.” (He says he rehearsed his Japanese-spoken response for three days. It translated into, “She’s a lovely woman and I’m glad to be with her.”)

A source tells US Magazine, “[He and Ryan] are friends. This is something John said in jest.”

Mayer and Simpson are no longer together, but singledom isn’t the only heartbreak Mayer has suffered this year. Mayer recently when he learned that former Sony head Ienner didn’t initially dig his latest CD, Continuum. When he got the bad news via his manager, “I cried that day. That was a rough day,” he says. “There were other things going on, and I’d quit music in my head…for about forty-five minutes.”

Poor John. What a rotten year for him! He got to date Jessica Simpson, only one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and he won 2 Grammy’s this year for his album “Continuum”. What’s a guy to do?

On a side note, I hate it when guys wear V-neck shirts. Ick.

John Mayer and Jessica Simpson have called it quits.

A source close to the couple says, “[John] was just over her. He wasn’t into her anymore. He was ready to move on.”

Seconds another source: “Jessica and John are done. She is really bummed, but wants to put her best foot forward and continue being out and about. She is just having fun and not interested in any new boys.”

But don’t count them out yet. Another friend close to the couple says that the split “is more of a cooling down.”

“The same sense of excitement and interest just isn’t there as much,” says the source. “I have no sense of a tearful breakup or anything like that. It’s just losing steam. It is more of a separation.”

Simpson, 26, jetted to the Cannes Film Festival earlier this week where she and her father were seen at the My Blueberry Nights after party on Wednesday night mingling with the likes of Harvey Weinstein and Norah Jones past 2:30 a.m.

Meanwhile, the “Waiting On the World to Change” singer was back in NYC attending Chris Rock’s surprise performance at The Comedy Cellar on Saturday night, and partied at Stereo last night with comedian Sherrod Small and model Jessica Stam.

Mayer chose not to accompany Jessica to the famed film fest, possibly due to the split, and also because “he is not interested in movie people or being around that, and she is trying to establish herself as an actress. He is happy being a musician and around music people.”

Instead, Mayer, 29, will spend the next week and a half relaxing in New York until his next tour kicks off on June 1.

“The truth is we won’t really know if it is done for good until he goes on tour and we see if she is there with him again,” says the source. “That is when we will know if this is definitive.”
