Robin Thicke Takes Son Julian To Work [PHOTOS]

SPOTTED: Robin Thicke and his adorable 2-year-old son Julian at The Grove in Los Angeles. Daddy was there to interview with Mario Lopez of Extra while Julian watched from the sidelines. Afterwards, Robin planted a sweet smooch on his son as the two walked off to their car.

The Duets co-host and soulful musician recently told the Kansas City Star that Julian is growing up in his father’s talented footsteps already:  “[Julian] has incredible pitch. He wakes up every morning and before he even cries to be taken out of his crib, the first thing he does is sing. He just kind of lies there in his crib and sings songs for a little while.”

Like father, like son!

John Mayer Says He Was Humiliated By Taylor Swift’s “Dear John” Song

Taylor Swift and John Mayer dated eons ago and broke up. Taylor then wrote a “Dear John” song for her “Speak Now” album about a relationship gone sour, without ever confirming that the song was about Mayer. Two years later, Mayer has spoken up and is not a happy camper about that song. To say the least.

In case you don’t know the lyrics, they go something like this….”Dear John, I see it all, now it was wrong / Don’t you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?”
In a new Rolling Stone interview, Mayer calls the Swift tune “cheap songwriting” and say it made him feel terrible. And he wants us to know that he did not deserve any of it. The song came out a little after Mayer went on a two-year hiatus following his controversial interviews with Rolling Stone and Playboy.

“I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I’d already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you’ve ever been, someone kicked you even lower?” John concludes the interview with admitting that Swift is the biggest thing in music now. But says, “I think it’s abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, ‘Wait till he gets a load of this!’ That’s bullshit.”
