John Mayer Mentions Perez Hilton In Interview

After branding celebrity blogger Perez Hilton's smooching claims as "ridiculous," John Mayer has remained mum about the alleged incident but he couldn't help bringing up Hilton's name during an XM radio interview.

He says the public "are people who... couldn't name me three songs off one record, but get onto a blog site and go to the comments and say, 'Well, he was with that dog so-and-so. He probably smells like butt.'"

"You know, people try to like do the Perez Hilton syntax, and it's terrible."

The "Gravity" singer also says that when the gossip blogger got his own VH-1 reality show "What Perez Sez," "that was the moment when the Fourth Wall broke."

He says, "I have never seen it, but that was the moment that the wall broke, and we realized that these people don't really hate celebrities, they just want to be actually in there."

Mayer, 30, wouldn't be surprised if there would be more Hilton followers and copycats to emerge. He expects them to be even nastier when it comes to criticizing celebrities.

He continues that there are "14-year-old kids who think 'Ehh, good Perez Hilton, but not good enough. I must add to that... (typing)... he's actually a douchebag!'"
