John Mayer’s funny tweet about a possibly made up incident with Pink left news outlets red-faced. Mayer, who was mocking Perez Hilton’s tweeting about his scuffle with Will.I.Am’s posse, parodied the blogger when he posted:
P!nk kneed me in the n—s outside Chateau Marmont. I was p—ing blood for days. Did I make a scene?
Then he mocked how Hilton’s “video statement [was] so long that by the end of it his cut healed.”
And while it was clearly a joke, Fametastic took it in earnest, seriously reporting:
The ‘Gravity’ singer posted a cryptic message on his Twitter account, suggesting the ‘Sober’ star attacked him outside a luxury Hollywood hotel.
Even more ridiculous? A slew of other sites and papers, including the New York Daily News, followed suit with a piece titled, “John Mayer not tickled Pink.”
GossipCop’s take?
