Sadly, it doesn't appear as though he's making any effort to beautify himself!

John Mayer was snapped at a recording studio in Santa Monica on Wednesday, and sometimes we can't believe that this is the guy who's bagged hotties like Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston, Minka Kelly, Taylor Swift and current flame Katy Perry. From the long, greasy hair to the baggy clothes (not to mention the bags under his eyes!) this isn't the sexy singer/songwriter we fell in love with a decade ago...

Whatever happened to the inked up hottie from the Gap ads in 2007? Can we have him back please?

Where was she!?

Last night John Mayer dined at Loteria Grill in Hollywood, and rather than bringing his busty babe of a girlfriend, the 34-year-old singer rolled with several friends. While we're sure all is well with the hot new couple, there's a rumor circulating on the web that John is chasing after Katy in an attempt to get closer to her BFF Rihanna.

“They really hit it off,” a source tells the National Enquirer of one of their first meetings at a 2009 music industry party in New York. “John was smitten. He tried to lure her back to his place on several occasions, but Rihanna just laughed him off, saying she wasn’t his type. That only made him want her more ... Rihanna has ALWAYS been a fantasy chick for John.”

“Katy has no idea just how hard he tried to score with Rihanna,” another source added. “Now, her pals are worried she’s headed for heartache.” Yikes! We doubt that's true, but will Katy's romance with the serial dater last?

There's no denying John Mayer's talent and hotness after watching the music video for "Queen of California."

The song is the latest single off Mayer's fifth studio album Born and Raised.

We're lovin' this track ... and lookin' at his gorgeous face doesn't hurt!

Ahoy, matey!

Doing his best impression of a drunken pirate, John Mayer exited a costume party in Hollywood looking a little worse for the ware on Saturday night, but we're loving his sexy boots and billowy blouse.

"The Pirate Bay" singer recently released his newest album, Born and Raised, and he deserves to celebrate, because it's the Grammy winner's third album to peak at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Congrats!

John Mayer is dissing fellow songwriter Taylor Swift! The "Half of My Heart" singer says Swift's song "Dear John" made him "feel terrible."

The country song was written after Swift's failed romance with Mayer. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he explains why he was upset after the song was released. John says:

"Because I didn't deserve it. I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do."

Ouch! Mayer, who says he "never got an email ... I never got a phone call," adds:

"I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?"

As for his thoughts on her songwriting talent, Mayer goes on to say:

"I will say as a songwriter that I think it's kind of cheap songwriting. I know she's the biggest thing in the world, and I'm not trying to sink anybody's ship, but I think it's abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, 'Wait till he gets a load of this!' That's bulls**t."

How do you REALLY feel, John?

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."
