• John Mayer on his breakup with Jen Aniston: "There's no lying, there's no cheating, there's no nothing. Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I have ever met. People are different, people have different chemistry. I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right." Hmm, does Mayer The Player have commitmentphobia? [People, UPI]
• John Mayer also says: "I'm sorry that the story's not interesting. But it's about time that somebody stands up for that girl and I think she's great." [OK!]
• Um, there's also video of John making these statements. He actually seems emotional. [TMZ]
• Okay, this report says that though they're going through a rocky time, John and Jen are not over. Then again, it also claims that "the birth of the Brangelina twins has got her down." Ugh. [The Sun]
• This report says that money was an issue with Jen and John. "Jen was tired of paying for everything," says a source. "Cobwebs come flying out of (Mayer's) wallet when he opens it. John liked living like a movie star when he was with her. Jen would never say anything, but you could tell it irritated her." [MSNBC]

'"Ashley and Mary-Kate take readers on a journey through their celebrated young lives, pausing to reflect on what has helped shape them into who they are today," the book's publisher said in a statement. "They interviewed 20 people and wrote brief essays about each other." Those interviewed include fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld, Diane Von Furstenburg, John Galliano and Christian Louboutin.

• The first "Cavalli Club" will open in Dubai this Fall. Says Roberto, '“living against monotony, with the enjoyment of music, of good food, of pleasant company” is the club’s philosophy. In his goal to offer “multiple culinary and sensorial experiences,” Cavalli plans an Italian restaurant flanked by a sushi bar and a wine bar on the top floor.' We can only assume this will be convenient to Lagerfeld's "Fashion Island." [WWD]

  A new study has found that French women are "increasingly assertive" in their sexual habits. Which basically means they're sleeping around more: In 1970, 68% claimed to have had only one partner, In 1992, 43% made that claim; in 2006 the number had dropped to 34%. A paper called Le Nouvel Observateur said of the findings: "The good old dichotomy (male predators, females patiently awaiting the warrior's return in front of the cave entrance) is in big trouble." Let's hope so! Progress from Cro-Mag days is a good thing, right? In any case, the "female sexual emancipation" is a hot topic in France right now, thanks to Ms. Carla Bruni. Last year, she told French paper Le Figaro: "I am a tamer [of men], a cat, an Italian. I am faithful... to myself. I am monogamous from time to time but I prefer polygamy and polyandry." Now she's married to the president. Quelle horror! More »

  The newly crowned Miss Belgium, Alizee Poulicek, is facing a shitstorm of controversy because she cannot speak Dutch. This might just be a minor blip on Belgium's radar were it not for governmental infighting between French-speaking and Dutch-speaking factions. As a result, Belgium has been without a government for 200 days. But you know, pageant organizer Darlene Devos gets down to what's really important here: the pretty. "I don't worry about this too much. It is the least painful thing," Darlene said of the semantic spat, "I would consider it different if they had said 'Miss Belgium is an ugly girl.'" [MSNBC] More »
