MAYER SLAMS COPENHAGEN'S FOOD
Rocker JOHN MAYER takes his own food with him whenever he goes to Copenhagen - because he's repulsed by the Danish city's culinary offerings.
The YOUR BODY IS A WONDERLAND singer dislikes the dishes he's been served up on trips to the European city, labelling them "boring" and "bland".
He says, "The food is really bland. It's like they take a roll, put on a slice of tomato, some lettuce, and cheese. That's
the most you can get."

MAYER GETS A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP IN JAPAN
Rocker JOHN MAYER finds it hard to sleep when he's away from his
native America - unless he's in Japan.
The YOUR BODY IS A WONDERLAND singer often finds it hard to
get a good night's rest, but it's never a problem once he
arrives in Japan.
He says, "There's a certain calmness to the culture. It has
mountains that can be seen from any view, the air is sweet, and
the people are as kind as can be. I usually don't sleep very
well when I'm away from home, but Japan is like heaven."
Mayer, 27, is also fascinated with the country's food.
He adds, "Kobe beef is the most amazing thing. The waiters
bring out a rock that has been kept in an oven for more than 10
hours and lay strips of raw Kobe beef on it. The meat cooks on
the stone. Then you take it off and eat it. It's out of
control."

John Mayer Continues To Dig In Comedy Gold Mine
As you probably recall, the last time "Your Body Is a Wonderland" crooner John Mayer attempted stand-up comedy, things didn't go so well. And since that abortive performance, the climate's gotten, well, maybe a teeny bit less receptive to stand-up comedians with a tendency to drop the "nigger" word, as Mayer did at his last visit to the Comedy Cellar. However, even though we hate his date-rapey singing voice, Mayer has since endeared himself to us a little bit with that whole "Don't believe the [Simpson-manufactured] hype" thing. So when a tipster reported having seen Mayer's comedic stylings last night, we were intrigued. Maybe he was funny this time! We kind of liked where he was going with that whole "women are sluts" thing, you know? Could he redeem himself and rack up some laffs?

Non-answers after the jump.

so john mayer did another set at comedy cellar, like he did a few months ago and you guys went nuts about it. hold on, let me do a line. ok, done. so ok, yeah, john mayer, set at comedy cellar. truthfully, he wasn't half bad. stand up comedy is probably one of the hardest things one could do, and yeah, he had to keep checking his blackberry to remember his jokes, but it was kind of endearing, in an "i'm a foolish musician" kind of way, but hey, when was the last time you saw Huey Lewis do that? And yeah, I just capitized his name, because hey, he's fucking Huey, ok? OK? But anyway, Mayer was halfway decent, and everyone else there tonight was from South Carolina and doesn't know what Gawker is, so I have to take it upon myself to tell you about it, but still, he was decent, and his head is huge, which lends credence to my theory, that unless you are David Hasselhoff and the Germans automatically accept you, you need to have a huge head, physically speaking, to be something in this world, and me with my little jew head, I'm nothing. Nothing, I tell you. Thank you. Don't do drugs.
