It's been almost two years since John Mayer chatted with Playboy and revealed that Jessica Simpson was "sexual napalm", and he still can't stop talking about it!

He does have an album coming out tomorrow, so I guess it makes sense that he'd want to generate as much publicity as possible...

John chatted with Guy Raz on NPR the other day, and the 34-year-old singer admits that he gave the controversial interviews because he just wanted to stay relevant people to like him. "I had nothing to say – I was going through a time in my life where I didn't really want to share what was going on, but I didn't want to be boring," Mayer admits.

"I remember thinking to myself, 'We gotta give a Rolling Stone interview … I don't want anybody at Playboy to think this is a boring interview.' I got those lines so crossed, that what you read – among other things, obviously – is this complete miscalculation in why I was asked to do the interview."

Mayer continued, "I'd read comments [that said], 'He's a d-bag.' And then you go, 'No, I'm not!' If you're a control freak you [think], I'm going to figure out a way to make that one guy say, 'He's not all that bad.'" We're still not sure how he was aiming to do that by revealing personal facts about his famous exes, but at least he seems to have learned from his mistakes. "I completely lost sight of what the original plan was, which is [to] make music for anybody who wants to hear it," he added. "There was a part of me that was dead – a certain thoughtfulness that was gone."

On his fifth studio album, Born and Raised, Mayer says, "I hope people want to receive this music. I have so much that I need to say – I hope I get a chance to say it. I hope people are interested." We do love his music ... we just wish he'd keep his mouth shut when he's not singing!

John Mayer appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, and the once sexy singer chats about why he's kept a low profile for the last two years and how he's grown up. Interestingly enough, he doesn't mention any of the famous ladies he's dated -- maybe he really has learned to control his verbal diarrhea!

John tells Ellen, "I just sort of lost my head for a little while ... I did a couple of some dumb interviews and it kind of woke me up." When Ellen brings up his infamous Playboy interview (you know, the one where he called ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson "sexual napalm"), John replies, "Oh yeah, I don’t even remember having a Rolling Stone cover. It was a very strange time and it sort of rocketed me into adulthood. It was a violent crash into being an adult. For a couple of years it was just figuring it all out and I'm glad I actually stayed out of the spotlight. Because I think back then I would of said, give me two weeks or like let me get out and do Ellen and let me explain myself. It was like no, idiot. Go away be 33 and 34 instead of 28 for the 4th year."

We're beyond excited for John Mayer's upcoming album, Born and Raised, and now the sexy crooner has just released a music video for his latest song “Shadow Days!”

The 34-year-old Grammy winner's album will drop on May 22, and after getting a sneak pick at his latest single, we can't wait to snap up the album ASAP!

Born and Raised is available for pre-order on iTunes, which will also include a bonus track titled “Fool to Love You”.

We love you, John Mayer!

It's time for a haircut. 'Nuff said.

He's dated everyone from Jennifer Aniston to Jessica Simpson to Jennifer Love Hewitt, so clearly the man has had sex appeal at some point!

John Mayer was spotted leaving Katsuya in Brentwood last night, and we're not sure what's going on with his hair or shlumpy outfit, but we totally miss his hotness! Remember the stud from the Gap ad back in 2007? Sigh...

John Mayer has completely changed his tune.

The "Waiting on the World to Change" singer, who deleted his Twitter account after receiving some flack for his "offensive" remarks, has ironically written a blog post that expresses his distaste for the overuse of sarcasm.

Mayer expressed:

"If you want to be truly intimidating, if you want to make an impact, if you want to have a strong connection with others, just be sincere. Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it's not a personality trait. It's a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point. Saying you're a sarcastic person is like saying your favorite cuisine is salt. Sarcasm is easy because you never have to take a stance. And that’s just the problem; It's so noncommittal."

The musician -- who once called former flame Jessica Simpson "sexual napalm" went on to say:

"I don't know when the lines got crossed and it was deemed attractive to be ambiguous and critical. Girls don't like it when guys do it and guys don't like it when girls do it. I live in a city of cool people with the absolute worst PR representatives: themselves."

Mayer concluded with the message: "Be yourself, even if that means being unsure or uneasy. Let someone else put you at ease. Meet them in the middle. Be sincere."

John Mayer revealed in September that he had nodules on his vocal cords. Now, the singer has posted to his blog, revealing to fans that he underwent surgery for the masses of tissue.

He writes:

"I had surgery this [Thursday] afternoon to remove it and am now on complete vocal rest for a month or more. It's been a very long process in waiting to see if time was an alternative to surgery, but even given two weeks' voice rest (along with many other approaches), there was no change for the better."

Mayer was forced to cancel September concerts with Tony Bennett in Los Angeles and an appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas after being diagnosed.

X17 caught up with John Mayer on Saturday in Beverly Hills, only hours after the singer announced he had to cancel concerts and push back his upcoming album due to a throat condition.

Mayer wrote on his blog that he has developed nodules on his vocal cords -- a condition he's been keeping secret for months. The nodules, also called granulomas, can become quite serious.

The singer was scheduled to perform at the iheartradio Music Festival in Las Vegas next week and with Tony Bennett in LA. In addition, his new album, Born and Raised, has been pushed back to a 2012 release instead of this fall. Said Mayer:

"‘Born and Raised’ is complete as far as music recording, song selection, and in some cases mixing, but because of this condition I couldn’t finish singing on several of the tracks."

Mayer says he isn't sure how long he'll be out of commission, but while he's vocally benched, he'll be in New York working on new songs.
