How do I love John Mayer, let me count the ways. . . . With all the flack that Jessica Simpson has been getting lately, her ex-boyfriend John is not the first person I would guess to come to her defense (well, to be fair I guess Eva Longoria did first, but she was kinda just talking about herself). However, John Mayer took to his blog last night in an incredibly sweet way to defend Jess and her Texan prize. He said, in an entry titled "Don't Ex With Texas":

Dear Dallas and Surrounding Areas,

This isn't a sports blog, and it isn't a publicity stunt. (but have at me if it feels right.)

This is about doing what I think is right as a person, in this case speaking my mind.

I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas. I don't really follow sports, but I have played some of my biggest and best concerts in your state, and having witnessed how dynamic the spirit there is, I'm betting emotions are running high right about now.

To read the rest of his entry just read more

All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know. It's one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don't try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn't be able to, but it's less work for all involved.)

I just thought it would mean something coming from the guy who has the absolute least to gain from this. And if I'm out of line in having written it, too bad. I can spare a Wednesday's worth of bad press if it means sticking up for a good soul.

I think it's incredibly sweet that he came to her defense, not because he had to but because he was just sick of hearing people bash her in the press. I can just add that to the list of reasons (along with the hotness) of why John Mayer is so a favorite these days. He kinda just seems like a good, decent guy. Do you all think this is as awwww-inducing as I do?
