John Mayer talks girlfriends, tabloids and his sexuality

The soulful and evocative John Mayer sat down for an interesting interview with Rolling Stone magazine, spilling the beans about nearly everything you’ve never even knew you wanted to know.

On relationships:

John Mayer wants a girlfriend – like, a real life-partner one, he told Rolling Stone. The problem is, when he meets a girl, they’re all, “But you’re John Mayer!” Which means he’s stuck with girls he’s already been with. Poor John.

Ladies, if you’re not overcome by his John Mayer-ness and think you’d be a good match, here’s what he’s looking for:

“You need to have them be able to go toe-to-toe with you intellectually,” he told the magazine, among other things too explicit to post here.

On the inspiration for “Your Body is a Wonderland”

When you think of John Mayer, you inevitably think of this song. The inspiration may have a husband and kids now, but she and Mayer still keep up occasional communication.

In a recent email, she described what it was like to hear Mayer on the radio. “She said she smiled. I started crying as I wrote her back. This woman is precious…She carries with her information of this 14-year-old boy she knew. She knows the truth.”

Emmanuelle Chriqui is the No. 1 Most Desirable Woman of 2010

Entourage’s Sloan McQuewick, played by Canadian actress Emmanuelle Chriqui, might just be the perfect girlfriend, and that’s not just because she’s ridiculously rich, beautiful and not opposed to the odd threesome. Sloan, who has been on-again, off-again with Eric (Kevin Connolly) since Season 2 until finally accepting his proposal at the end of the latest season of the HBO dramedy, is the epitome of a dream girl: she’s a down-to-earth, funny and nag-free girlfriend who lacks the kind of shallowness that normally steers other gorgeous women away from average-looking guys like Eric.

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- James Cameron carried home two Golden Globes on Sunday night for his 3-D blockbuster, "Avatar."
"Avatar," which has sold $1.6 billion in tickets worldwide in just a month, was chosen best movie drama, while Cameron won for best movie director.
"We have the best job in the world," Cameron said.
Many of the winners and presenters at the 67th Golden Globes wore red and yellow ribbons, a reminder of Tuesday's devastating earthquake in Haiti.
"It does feel strange to dress up and play fantasy, but I'm glad we are talking about it," actress Kyra Sedgwick told CNN on the red carpet.
Globe producers included several appeals in the awards broadcast for viewers to donate to Haitian relief efforts.

The Book Of Eli

Eli (Denzel Washington) has been on a journey for 30 years, walking west across America after a cataclysmic war that turned the earth into a total wasteland. The world has become a lawless civilization where people must kill or be killed.

The barren roads belong to gangs of cutthroats who rob and kill for water, a pair of shoes, a lighter, or just for fun. Eli is a peaceful man who only acts in self defense, and becomes a warrior with unbelievable killing skills when he is challenged.

After the war and the "Big Flash", Eli was guided by a higher power to a hidden book and given the task of protecting the book and taking it to its final destination. Eli guards the book with his life, because he knows that the book is the only hope that humanity has for its future. imdb

The Beatles

The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960 and one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. From 1962 the group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from folk rock to psychedelic pop, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. The nature of their enormous popularity, which first emerged as the "Beatlemania" fad, transformed as their songwriting grew in sophistication. The group came to be perceived as the embodiment of progressive ideals, seeing their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.
