Did anyone seriously think they'd last longer than six months?

If you predicted that John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston's romance would fizzle out after four months then buy yourself a lottery ticket because you were exactly right.

The high profile pair never officially confirmed they were dating, but pictures don't lie. The couple was snapped cuddling, canoodling, and cavorting from Miami to Los Angeles (and just about everywhere in between as Aniston joined Mayer on his cross country concert tour).

Personally, I am not the least bit surprised that Jen and John split. What does shock me is the fact that Mayer is now speaking out about the failed relationship.

Perhaps, he is trying to save face by claiming that he was the dumper and not the dumpee. You be the judge.

Yesterday the musician told reporters: "People are different, people have different chemistry. I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right."

Mayer also set the record straight on rumors that he hooked up with a fan while dating Aniston.

"There's no lying, there's no cheating, there's no nothing," Mayer said. "Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I have ever met."

Hear that Jessica?

But, alas, it was not meant to be.

Not for Jen and John anyway, though the same can't be said for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

According to the couple's rep, the pair tied the knot last night in an intimate ceremony at their Los Angeles home.

So much for rumors of a lavish ceremony in Palm Springs.

Less than 20 guests reportedly attended the private handwritten vow exchange. Those scoring invites included DeGeneres' mom Betty and de Rossi's mother Margaret Rogers (who flew in from Australia to witness her daughter get married).

The TV talk show host and her actress bride have been dating since 2004 and according to DeGeneres, she wanted to marry de Rossi since shortly after they started their romance. In May DeGeneres got the chance to pop the question to de Rossi when California's Supreme Court ruled a previous ban on gay marriage to be unconstitutional.
