  Frank Ocean Will Bring John Mayer to 'SNL'

  September 11, 2012 – Aside from the ridiculous desert-campfire backdrop, Frank Ocean's stirring performance of the channel ORANGE stunner "Thinkin Bout You" on last week's MTV Video Music Awards took what might be called "the Adele route."

This week's Billboard 200 is still a wonderland, albeit a slightly less wondrous one, for John Mayer, who maintains his No. 1 a second week in a row despite only selling 65,000 copies of his almost-apologetic new LP Born and Raised, per Nielsen SoundScan.

  Watch John Mayer Explain His Years of Douchebaggery

  May 16, 2012 – The year 2010 was not kind to John Mayer. He more or less stirred up that era's shit-storm himself, what with all that racist stuff and the other racist stuff, not to mention all the excitement of repeatedly spite-snuffing his Tumblr, tweeting his way through Father's Day, and oversharing on his and Jessica Simpson's time together in the media. …
