John Mayer stopped to pet a dog yesterday on his way home from a workout in NYC. He was busy bonding with one of man's best friends, but John also stopped to notice other creatures on the street. He tweeted that there were "lots of beautiful ladies in NYC this afternoon #backonmygrind." John can't help but notice attractive ladies, and it seems like finding his next big love is weighing on his mind - he recently blogged about the odds of meeting the woman of his dreams at a bar after midnight. He's gradually easing back online to share his innermost thoughts after shying away in the wake of the furor over his comments in Playboy. You aren't quite sure that the issue is in the past, but John's chalking it all up to a goof.

Angelina Jolie says she relates to her Salt character during her appearance at Comic-Con, John Mayer apologizes for his controversial remarks in Playboy, and Cameron Diaz downplays kissing Tom Cruise by calling it a job responsibility. Watch today's all new PopSugar Rush!

John Mayer ruffled some feathers earlier this year with the racy remarks he made in Playboy. After taking some time off from the spotlight, making a teary apology, and restricting his use of Twitter, John finally spoke about the uproar his interview caused before performing this morning on The Today Show. He said to Matt Lauer, "I learned. Don't talk just to see if you have something to say. Talking just to see if you have something to say is a really bad way of finding out you had nothing to say . . . I done goofed." John seems ready to put the episode behind him, but tell us - have you moved past John Mayer's Playboy comments?

John Mayer was on the Today Show this morning for their outdoor concert series. Unlike Lady Gaga’s visit a few weeks ago, the sky did not open up to pour down God’s tears on douchey John Mayer. It’s a shame. Instead, the audience was forced to sit through John’s guitar masturbation and ridiculous O-faces. Which brings me to my question: if John Mayer still a horrible douche? We haven’t been covering him at all lately, and he’s been pretty quiet since her racist, misogynistic, homophobic douche explosion in Playboy. Remember how he thinks he has a “hood pass” but he wouldn’t use it because his dick is a white supremacist? Yeah. So, is he still that same dude? I don’t know, but listen to Matt Lauer’s interview with Mayer:

Basically, when Lauer asks him about the Playboy douche explosion, Mayer says: “I learned…Don’t talk just to see if you have something to say. Talking just to see if you have something to say is a really bad way of finding out you had nothing to say…. I done goofed.” I done goofed? Here’s one of my biggest problems with Mayer: it’s not so much that he’s a faux-intellectual who thinks he’s the biggest f-cking genius on the planet, but jointly with that belief, he thinks we’re all f-cking idiots. Like we aren’t even capable of “getting” him. I just feel like Mayer is talking down to us, to his fans, to everyone. A–hole.

And these f-cking pants. He thinks he’s SO FUNNY.

John Mayer's sleeve tattoo was on full display as he strolled through NYC on Thursday. He's keeping busy with late-night jam sessions and photography in the Big Apple while waiting for his Battle Studies tour to resume on July 16 in Charlotte. The gadget-loving musician also already acquired the new iPhone - check out Geek's hands-on review. John wrote on his blog, "I look forward to hours of Fruit Ninja while enjoying a stable romantic relationship sometime within the lifespan of the iPhone 4. Don’t snicker. Just wish me the best."
