I am holding John Mayer primarily responsible for something…for letting the word douche be acceptable to be used on television.  I know because of him I use the word quite often to explain how people just don’t get him. I think he’s a great douche. But I know there are many people that don’t agree.

How did douche ever make it onto television and how did it become appropriate to even utter something like that? And then there are those two other words b*tch and a*shat. I heard Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles)  utter a*shat and almost died. I called up Willow Raine and was like did I really hear that? And then I rewound it a couple of times.

Thinking about it now it seems that the most of the swearing I hear is on the CW. I wonder if they think that it makes their channel more hip and exciting.  That’s what I do at night, I weigh all my options and say, “You know I am going to go with the channel that has more swearing in it because really that’s more of what I like.” I am totally wrong about that. I think that sometimes it’s used too much. If you can notice it it’s not being used right, at least in my opinion.

The days of George Carlin and his, Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television, might end up being phased into the television networks. I was actually watching it last week and I was roaring. I am sure that all those words will widely accepted by the end of 2010. So if swearing is something that is okay, when will nudity get here? We all know that those soap opera’s would be more exciting if there was some soft nudity. The housewives that take care of their kids all day (namely me) get bored and really need something to spice up their day. An actor going into the shower with a bare butt would work for me. That would energize my whole day.

Swearing and nudity. I think that would be a great way to go for the  television networks. I hope you are listening to me…

I was pleasantly surprised when I heard John Mayer’s new single, Half Of My Heart. Taylor Swift does background vocals on this song. This song is off his upcoming album, Battle Studies. And so far, I am loving it all.

Here are some of the amazing lyrics…

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I’ve been
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand, all that your love can bring

Oh half of my heart has a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart has a right mind to tell you that
I can’t keep loving you(can’t keep loving you)
Oh with half of my heart

I was made to believe I’d never love somebody else
Made a plan stay the man who could only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang, til the day you came
Showing my another way, and all that my love can bring

John is playing here in April and I’m dying to go to the concert. I have this huge crush on him and I think he would be awesome to go see live. I hope I can get there. (And it would be my first concert I ever go to.)

I think it’s been a full week of John Mayer here but someone has to love him and if it’s me, so be it. Today is his birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN! He also released the cover of his new album Battle Studies today on Twitter. I am really looking forward to this album.

I know that I don’t write about John Mayer as much as I used to but I have been following his latest projects behind the scenes. He’s been working on new music and I was just dying to know what it might sound like. I finally got my answer when he finally debuted his video for the song, Who Says. (If you look closely you can see his apartment featured in the video.) I like this new song. And it has a lot of guitar. I love my guitar.

I was talking to someone last night about music. Music has been a huge part of my life and I love to talk about it. I revealed that I love guitarists. If I were to tell you some of my favorite songs you could hear their is a lot of guitar work in the songs. (I really need to learn the language yet!)

My realizing how John Mayer as a musician only really hit me. I started liking what he did because he has a sense of humor and no one really gets it…I do! And then I heard this on YouTube…and I was smitten by him. I love the way he plays that guitar of his. John has been working on a new album and now he has released his single art for his new song, Who Says. I can’t wait to hear the new song.

It must be something about those hands in that picture…

I kind of fell into following this story today. I noticed earlier that my post on John Mayer getting arrested was getting a bit of attention, so in true new Googling style I sent over a tweet to John asking him if he really did get arrested. I got a reply from one of my loyal followers that John had issued a challenge to TMZ. They find his mugshot and John will donate money to the animals.

John should have known that it would be found. I would be hard pressed to not be able to find anything that you wanted on the internet, which is really scary if you think about it. Well TMZ ended up finding it…

John was arrested on May 26, 2001 for driving with a suspended license in Atlanta. The case was dismissed exactly one month later on June 26. (That is so hot he was a rebel!)

The latest tweet from John actually showed that he was going to donate the $25 000 to two charities. As if I had any doubt that it would be found.

I must admit that I was intrigued with the prospect of seeing what John Mayer’s house looked like. It kind of makes me think I would never be able to hang around with him because I would  be afraid to break something, and that alone makes me feel claustrophobic.

“After I finally figured out how to behave, and how to dress, I wanted to get the next thing—my apartment—right. It’s the last piece of the style puzzle. A year ago, it never would have been right for me. But I’ve changed. I’m confident I’ve earned the happiness a real home base brings.If my apartment could make me feel the way I do in Mr. Armani’s suits, life would be really wonderful,”

Armani agreed to help [help decorate his house]. “I wanted to create a sophisticated environment for John,” the fashion icon says, “one that will bring as much pleasure to him as his music brings to us.”

And this is what they came up with. It is amazing. But something that I could never get used to living in.

Today marks the release of Demi Lovato’s album Here We Go Again! The sophomore effort from the teen sensation features new, very personal songs that were written with a goal to “inspire people, to help them get through whatever they’re going through in their lives.”  Demi continues, “That’s the ultimate goal with every piece of music I make.”

On her 2008 debut album Don’t Forget, Demi collaborated with long-time friends and tour mates the Jonas Brothers, while Here We Go Again finds her branching out as a writer with such bold-faced names as John Mayer, “Torn” songwriter Anne Preven and singer-songwriter Jon McLaughlin.  She also wrote again with Nick Jonas on the soulful, searching “Stop The World.”

Head over to iTunes today to buy the album and check out the remaining dates of Demi’s headlining tour.

John Mayer contributed the song, Human Nature, to the Michael Jackson Memorial Service today. I was out with my family today and didn’t get to see the service. I’m catching up by watching clips right now. But I had to include John’s contribution because it moved my soul.

John said last night on Twitter the following.

“I’m honored to have been asked to play at MJ’s memorial service. I will be representing all of us who can’t be there. Going to say goodbye from all us kids. I also want you to know that I’m going not to ‘perform’ but to contribute… Proud to be a musician.”

Thanks John for being there for the ones that couldn’t. It’s still so hard to believe that Michael is gone. Hopefully, we will all be able to move on now and just remember the good things.

Demi Lovato is beginning to look so grown up now. I guess that’s what 16 does to you. Makes you realize you aren’t a kid anymore.  Demi did an exclusive interview for Woman’s Wear Daily where she dished about her new album, falling in love and her estranged father. Here are the highlights:

On her new album: Demi says it’s “more relaxed and more mature,” with a more “soulful edge” than her gold-selling pop-rock debut, “Don’t Forget.” This time around, the songs are more personal, inspired by “pretty much just heartbreak.”

On falling in love: The song “World of Chances”, co written with John Mayer, is all about a tough break-up: “I had fallen in love and then my heart got broken. I had never fallen in love before, so that was interesting.”

On her estranged father: A song about her estranged father was originally planned for the album, but was pulled at the last minute: “When I took a step back I realized I wouldn’t like those subjects being talked about in somebody else’s home, with a seven-year-old and their mom.”
