Clingy Jenny

Jennifer Aniston’s pals are delighted that she has found a new love in crooner John Mayer, but they’re worried that she’s getting clingy, just like she was with ex-hubby Brad Pitt.

A friend of the Friends star says, “It took Jen a long time for her to get over Brad (Pitt) and even a longer time to get out of the habit of just going along with whatever the guy wanted. Now it looks like the ‘clingy Jen’ is back.”

Which is apparently okay with Mayer.

A friend of the singer claims, “He puts on this act in his blog but he likes being followed around and all of the attention. He’s a typical rock star that way. Jen feeds right into it.”

Will their alliance last?

The source goes on saying, “They’re really into each other. John’s definitely different with her than he’s been with other girls, so maybe.”

Maybe. But then again maybe not.

Hopefully, Jen will find someone she can cling to for as long as she could.
