Pacquiao vs Bradley Fight Result: Timothy Bradley Wins Against Manny Pacquiao
Swift Mayer Run-in: Taylor Swift and John Mayer Caught in Their Most Uncomfortable Moment
Swift Mayer Run-in: Taylor Swift and John Mayer Caught in Their Most Uncomfortable Moment
On Tuesday night, Taylor Swift had the misfortune of running into, yes, her ex-flame John Mayer at Sunset Tower in West Hollywood - just less than 24 hours before the 34-year-old crooner's Rolling Stone interview about how the 22-year-old country singer humiliated him when she penned the revenge ballad song "Dear John" without any warning.
When the 22-year-old entered the hotspot at the Sunset Tower Hotel on Tuesday night, it was "drama central" when she saw Mayer sitting at a table nearby, according to the New York Post's Page Six.
"Taylor very visibly - in front of the entire restaurant - demanded to be moved to the other side," a source said. "The bar's usually an oasis of calm and privacy for celebrities and power players, but this was drama central."
Mayer and Swift were briefly linked in May 2009, according to MTV, but allegedly split in June 2010, before the October 2010 release of her "Speak Now" album.
"It made me feel terrible," John Mayer says in the new issue of Rolling Stone. "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."
"I never got an e-mail. I never got a phone call," Mayer says. "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?"
In "Dear John," Swift croons:
Dear John / I see it all, now it was wrong / Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so? / I should've known / All the girls that you run dry / With tired, lifeless eyes / Cause you burned them out / But I took your matches before fire could catch me / So don't look now: / I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town."
When Rolling Stone asked his thoughts on the line, "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?" Mayer says, "I don't want to go into that."
As for Swift, her friends have got her back.
"I can't believe he is trying to play the victim!" a source told Us Weekly. "John was a player and treated her like s--t," another source added. "He looked at her as a conquest. Taylor is going to think even less of him now!"
John Mayer does not agree with Swift's writing process.
"I will say as a songwriter that I think it's kind of cheap songwriting," he tells Rolling Stone. "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."
However, Mayer reportedly uses his own love troubles as lyrical inspiration, as well. "Shadow Days," off his new album "Born and Raised," is supposedly about ex Jennifer Aniston, according to Us Weekly.
Mayer sings:
You find yourself alone. . . I found myself in pieces / On my hotel floor/Hard times help me see / I'm a good man with a good heart / Had a tough time, got a rough start / And I finally learned to let it go."
A source told the magazine, "He wrote the song as a farewell letter knowing [Jen] would hear it. Ultimately he's done a lot of self reflection though and it he realizes they weren't right for each other."

“BAYAN MO, IPATROL MO: TAYO NA” AARANGKADA NA SA ARAW NG KALAYAAN
Aarangkada na ang "Bayan Mo, iPatrol Mo: Tayo Na," ang kampanya para sa 2013 halalan ng ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs, hindi lang para mas lalong maihanda ang publiko sa gagawing pagluklok ng mga bagong lider ng bansa kung hindi para mahimok ang mas maraming indibidwal na magsama-sama para makapag-ambag at makagawa ng mas malaking pagbabago sa lipunan.
Isang taong bago ang 2013 halalan, binibigyang muli ng kapangyarihan ng ABS-CBN ang mga mamamayan para tumayo, manindigan, protektahan ang isa't isa at sumulong bilang isang bayan.
"Ang 'Tayo Na' ay pag-ulit ng ating pangako at pagpapatibay pa ng ating misyon na baguhin ang bansa. Kami ay nananawagan sa iba't ibang grupo o indibidwal na magkaisa para sa pagbabago at ipakita sa buong mundo ang tagumpay ng mga pursigidong citizen journalist," pahayag ni ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs head Ging Reyes.
Inaanyayahan ng ABS-CBN ang publiko na magparehistro bilang 'bayan patroller' sa programa ng "BMPM Tayo Na" na gaganapin sa Quezon City Memorial Circle (Liwasang Aurora) sa Martes (June 12) kung saan gaganapin din ang isang forum tungkol sa kahalagahan ng malinis na halalan at sa pag-uulat sa ano mang uri ng anomalya kaugnay ditto gamit ang social media tulad ng Facebook, Twitter, atbp. May mga pagtatanghal din mula sa celebrity guests na Itchyworms, Barbie Almalbis, Ebe Dancel, at Kitchie Nadal.
Itatampok naman ng ANC anchor na si Lynda Jumilla ang mga pulitikong nagpahayag ng saloobing tumakbo sa susunod na taon tulad nina Sen. Koko Pimentel, Manila mayor Alfredo Lim, at Rep. Risa Hontiveros sa ang isang espesyal na episode ng "ANC Presents: Road to 2013" sa ganap na 7 p.m. sa ANC.
Sisimulan din ng "TV Patrol" ang proyektong "Beinte Singko Para sa Kabayan Ko" bilang bahagi pa rin ng ika-25 nitong anibersaryo. Hinihimok nito ang bawat Pilipino na maghulong ng 25 sentimo sa mga espesyal na latang na ikakalat sa iba't ibang panig ng bansa nang sa gayo'y makalikom ang "TV Patrol" ng P2.5 milyon na gagamitin para tulungan ang 25 na pamilya, indibidwal, at komunidad na naging biktima ng kalamidad at sakuna sa nakaraang 25 taon.
Maging ang ABS-CBN Global ay makikilahok dahil ilulunsad din nito ang kanilang pandaigdigang Independence Day campaign na "Tayo ang Pilipino, Angat sa Mundo" sa pamamagitan ng isang music video tampok ang ABS-CBN corporate theme na inawit ng bandang Aegis.
Mula sa matagumpay na "Boto Mo, iPatrol Mo" noong 2007 hanggang sa "Boto Mo, iPatrol Mo: Ako ang Simula" noong 2010, isang pinagibayong BMPM campaign ang sisimulan ngayong Hunyo na naglalayong paigtingin ang sinumulang citizen journalism sa bansa.
ABS-CBN ang pinakaunang nagsulong ng citizen journalism sa pamamagitan ng BMPM kung saan hinimok at binigyan ng kapangyarihan ang ordinaryong mamamayan na mag-ulat ng anumang uri ng katiwalian sa lipunan gamit ang makabagong teknolohiya.
Naging daan ang BMPM para maisapubliko ang ilan sa pinakamalaking istorya kaugnay ng halalan tulad na lang ng nakaririmarim na Maguindanao massacre. Sa katunayan, ang pinakaunang larawan na nakunan ilang oras pa lang matapos ang krimen ay ipinadala ng isang boto patroller at unang naiere sa telebisyon sa pamamagitan ng ABS-CBN News.
Kaya naman kinilala at pinarangalan ang BMPM ng maraming prestihiyosong award giving bodies tulad ng International Gold Quill Awards, Philippine Quill Awards, Anvil Awards, and Araw Awards.
Tunghayan ang pormal nitong paglulunsad ngayong Martes (June 12) sa gaganaping flag-raising ceremony ng ABS-CBN na "Bayang Malaya, Tayo Na!" na ipapalabas sa ganap na 8:20 ng umaga, bilang pagdiriwang ng Araw ng Kalayaan. Pangungunahan ang programa ng "TV Patrol" anchors na sina Noli De Castro, Korina Sanchez, at Ted Failon kasama sina Raimund Marasigan, Pochoy Labog, Nicole Asencio ng General Luna, Aegis, ang Philippine Azkals, Maestro Gerard Salonga at ang ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra.
