Katy Perry and John Mayer Split

Oh, noes! And here we’ve been doodling “Katy and John 4evs” all over our pink binders.

In a bit of news that probably won’t raise a single eyebrow, singer and “Part of Me” star Katy Perry has split with her poor choice of rebound man, self-absorbed and stretchy-faced singer John Mayer.

The two were never (until this momentous occasion) confirmed as a couple, but the Internet abounded with plenty of pics of the two canoodling, having sleepovers, and being overall pretty obviously being bone buddies.

However friends of Perry have contacted Us Weekly (what great friends!) to dish on the blue-eyed lady’s bad luck.

“She’s really upset about it,” says one.

“She is making it seem like it wasn’t serious with John, but she is hurt,” says another.

I hate to say it, Perry, but if you’re not looking to get hurt it might be wise to consider a man’s track record before getting all googly eyed over him. Have a chat with Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson. Maybe listen to Taylor Swift’s cutting “Dear John” a few times.

Aw shucks, what am I saying? This is the woman who married Russell Brand.

Honestly there’s not much to be said about this tragic news. I don’t think anyone was really expecting the two to work out, although maybe we should mourn the opportunity for a shocking left-field Superromance that would have defied all odds.

Possibly there were some sweet musical collaborations in the mix that the world will now never, ever be able to experience.

On can only hope that Katy Perry’s brief fling didn’t leave her too wounded, that John Mayer brushes off the heartache long enough to continue impersonating Johnny Depp, and that maybe we get a couple good songs out of it from one or the other.
