Unlike some other newly confirmed daddies-to-be, Pete Wentz seems to have no issues putting his same-sex crushes on full display. Please witness his fawning mash note to John Mayer -- a clip advertising Mayers' new DVD, with oh-so-cryptic headline "yes its a crush."
Never one to be outdone in manly mutual love confessions, Mayer responded publicly on his own blog today, under the headline "CRUSH REQUEST ACCEPTED":
You're one of the best eggs in the music industry, hands down. With as much talent as you have, I'd expect you'd have some eccentric ego, but from what I can tell you seem to have none. (That actually makes you more talented, by way of some crazy cosmic arithmetic.) Every time we get the chance to hang I'm inspired by your creativity. Your mind is like a stadium with the dome open... you have ZERO judgment when it comes to things that move you. When most people get the feeling they might like an idea, or a shirt, they run it through a series of filters; 'what should I think, given my personal attributes?' 'How does this read?' 'What would Kanye do?' You have what makes talented people successful for years and years - a brave sense of self and a completely authentic relationship with your tastes.
That's why I'll throw a guitar in the car and be there anytime you need me. It's a short list. (I'm lazy.)
A gentle warning to Pete from a girl with a pop music memory way longer than is at all healthy:
Mayer's been down this road before. He and Justin Timberlake were best bosom buddies back in 2002 and 2003, when they popped into each other's gigs and waxed poetic in interviews about each other's awesome talents. From a Blender Q&A in late 2003:
A friend of mine went to the party Justin Timberlake threw after this year’s VMAs, and he said you two were flirting. Any truth to this?
Mayer: Could be. Maybe. There’s a certain sexuality that some friends have, absolutely. I think sexuality has to exist between any two living things for those two living things to get along. You know, do Steven Tyler and Joe Perry flirt with each other? Absolutely. That’s what makes things cool. But not, like, weiner-in-tush flirting.
Sure, he still takes the time out to make a YouTube video covering JT's songs, but it's not like it was in the gay old days. You've already given him the prime solo guitar slot on your Michael Jackson remake. What will you think of next to keep him interested?
We just don't want to see anyone get hurt!!
