Mayer started it– he blamed his now-notorious Playboy interview on too much malt whiskey. Sounds like his Hollywood bro.s are snarfing from the same bottle. 
Robert Pattinson proclaims in a new Details interview that he ‘is allergic to vaginas’ and truly loves only his dog. For this teenage America swoons?
Now Ewan McGregor in Out is getting into the studly striptease act, expounding about flashing his private parts and kissing men onscreen. But Ewan adds a bit of wit and actorly advice to the mix:
“But I like kissing boys on screen. As a straight guy, it’s quite an interesting proposition. Anything on a film set that takes you by surprise like that, that gets your blood up, is good.”
I believe him that it’s good on a film set– but how about in an interview? What’s your reaction to this ‘anything goes’ brand of frankness? Too much TMI? Does it ‘get your blood up’ in a good or bad way, or both? And do you keep reading?
PS: Thanks to Jeff S. for alerting us to another TMI experience coming at us; on Friday TIGER WOODS SPEAKS…

yes, i was noticing this too, all these over-the-top interviews trying to top each other…
Yes, exactly; well-put!
Glad someone besides me noticed this, the three of them do seem to go together–
I wonder are there female star interviews this ‘over the top’?
YEAH, I NOTICE TOO
AND IT IS WHAT YOU SAY AT THE END
IN BOTH A BAD AND GOOD WAY
AND YEAH, I KEEP READING, SOMETIMES NOT LIKING IT BUT LIKING NOT LIKING IT
LOL, Antistar–
I hear you and I couldn’t put it better myself–

Ewan is my hubby in an alternate universe, so I view him with rose-colored glasses. Everything he says is cute to me.
John Mayer is every jack a$$ I’ve dated in the past. Throw a rock in Harvard Square and you’ll hit an obnoxious know-it-all like him.
Hi again and I agree again– Ewan M. does seem the ‘class act’ of this bunch. His interview was actually interesting–
Pattinson is sure pretty, like a young female-ized Elvis. And I can really see him playing a convincing Vampire. But this interview of his is creepy in a different way.
And Mayer; yes, Mayer does seem to be a type we all know. As a young female friend of mine observed: “John Mayer; what a tool.”
Caitlin, you’ve nailed it. Can’t resist quoting Nellie McKay here:
You’re preenin’ in your armchair, I’m steamin’ at your knee
Go on pontificate like I care: Peter Lorre, then a story about AC/DC
Harvard-educated, frustrated dictator, tyrant with a PhD
“What the hell do you mean?”
Well for instance, you have started every war…
“And what else?”
Well, you’ve committed every rape…
But hey hey hey, that’s got nothin’ to do with you
You’re a sensitive Joe, I keep forgettin’
But every woman knows, it’s a pose, just a pose, oops there she goes…
Hi Litotes–
Yes, Caitlin always ‘nails it’ and so does Nellie McKay–
Thanks for these fab. lyrics; you are a credit to your gender–

Lady Gaga is the female TMI interviewee these days. I admit, I laughed when she offered to take the virginity of all three Jonas brothers! I know one of them is married now, but he still looks VERY uptight to me. Maybe a night with The Ga would be good for the trio.
Hi Caitlin and as always, you are so quick at the draw for any Celebrity Question–
Yes, Lady G. is a perfect femme example of this school of “tell all’–
and absolutely, send in the Jonas Brothers–
Here comes another Too Much Information interview because Tiger Woods is ‘finally’ going to speak.
Yes, Jeff; thanks for bringing this up–
scary but true: Tiger will speak out on Friday;
can there possibly be more to learn about his seamy side?
Here’s the info:

Let me get this straight, anonymous interchangeable testosterone-carrying famous guy…
You can deal with dog poop but not with graceful female intimacy?
Smells like prick spirit: your libido a mosquito.
But regardless, let’s keep that malt liquor flowing.
Awesome comment, Litotes–
dog poop and malt liquor; yes, maybe that’s what
put Pattinson over the edge…
