Jody Cortes / WENN, Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images Ever since his induction into the Simpson clan was complete, Pete Wentz has had to deal with more than his overbearing in-laws—photogs have been on his ass day in and day out. And no one knows (or loves) the paparazzi more than Petie's similarly tattooed bestie, John Mayer.
P.W., talking to a Pa. radio station, said he's learning how to deal with the attention, courtesy of his attention-seeking amigo Johnny: "On some days, and I learned this from my friend John Mayer, I make it really easy for the paparazzi, and I'll give them something that I think is really funny," said Wentzie to Philadelphia's Wired 96.5. "I'm like, 'All right, you get Palin's people on the phone...I need to get all the child-rearing advice I can get, and then in exchange I'm going to give her all the foreign-policy advice she needs."
Hey, at least his pap pranks are all in the name of politics. Think his marriage to Ashlee is one giant pop fiction, too?
Other things Mayer might be a whiz at giving advice on? Guitar lessons, maybe. Or better yet, how to act like a douche bag and still have beautiful A-list actresses interested in you despite your track record for breaking hearts. Guy could teach a college course in that.
