Twitter has many celebrity fans, Stephen Fry and Jonathan Ross being the stars of the Twitterati, but musician John Mayer appears to have become so obsessed with the micro-blogging service that it has cost him his relationship with ‘Friends’ star Jennifer Aniston.
According to reports, Mayer told Aniston that he hadn’t returned her calls while she was away promoting the film ‘Marley and Me’ because he was too busy with work. But Jen caught him out when she spotted he wasn’t too busy to be making regular Twitter updates. His prize tweets include such gibberish as “Life is like walking through a funhouse. It’s dark, people are pushing, and you can’t turn around. You just follow the cracks of light”. Yeah, I’m not sure what that’s about either. Clearly Jennifer Aniston is better off without this one.
A friend of the actress is reported to have said: “Jen was fuming. There he was telling her he didn’t have time for her and yet his page was filled with Twitter updates. Every few minutes he’d update with some stupid line. And in her mind, she was like ‘He has time for all this Twittering but he can’t send me a text, an email, make a call?’”
Apparently Mayer didn’t deny his tweeting habit and shortly after Jen dumped him his Twitter update read: “This heart didn’t come with instructions.” Nor common sense apparently either.
Time for your close up Demi
It’s not the first time John has referred to his love life on Twitter. In happier times for the couple he hinted that he might be about to propose to Jen via his updates.
The pair started dating in April 2008 and broke up twice before appearing inseparable at the Oscars last month.
The sad truth is that Mayer will never be able to get up to the kind of tricks that ‘Punk’d’ host Ashton Kutcher did. Kutcher posted a pic of wife Demi Moore’s bum. He apparently snapped her as she bent down and tweeted: “shhh don’t tell wifey.”
Moore hit back (on Twitter, where else): “”e is such a sneak and while I was steaming his suit too! RT @aplusk: shhh don’t tell wifey”.

Ha - what kind of man has to hide behind a couch to take a photo of his wife’s arse? Lucky there was no Twitter when I was with her - in fact it was so long ago mobile phones weren’t even invented.
you still would.
