I'm starting to think Brad Pitt cheating on Jennifer Aniston had less to do with Angelina Jolie's sex appeal and more to do with the fact that Aniston sounds like a clingy, controlling nightmare. Star Magazine reports that Twitter may have played a role in John Mayer finally deciding to breakup with Jen once and for all.

A departure from past rumors about not seeing eye-to-eye on family, Star’s source says, “John suddenly stopped calling her or returning her emails and when she would finally catch up with him, he’d say: ‘I’ve been so busy with work. I’m sorry I haven’t had time to call you back’. Jen was fuming. There he was, telling her he didn’t have time for her and yet his page was filled with Twitter updates.”

“Every few hours, sometimes minutes, he’d update with some stupid line. And in her mind, she was like ‘He has time for all this Twittering, but he can’t send me a text, an email, make a call?’ He didn’t even deny it. He knew he was avoiding her. So when she called him on it and ended things, he just said OK, and that he was sorry it didn’t work out. He took the break-up like a man.”

While I'm sure Aniston calling him "Brad" during sex didn't help matters, I can see this sort of thing being the straw that broke the camel's back. As the slogan goes, an update on Twitter is 126 characters or less, whereas in comparison a phone call with Jennifer Aniston likely involves at least 10 minutes talking about her ex and how she's totally over him. It's like that old saying: show me a beautiful woman, I'll show you a man who'd rather be Twittering someone else.
