John Mayer once said his ‘favourite gay porn star is Brent Corrigan’, claims Perez Hilton

"He leant in to me and said, 'I like to watch gay porn, you know'."

Perez Hilton has claimed John Mayer once told him he likes “‘to watch gay porn'” and that his “‘favourite gay porn star is Brent Corrigan.'”

Because of course he has.

The gossip blogger makes the claims in his new memoir TMI: My Life In Scandal.

TMI indeed!

Discussing an interaction at a Hollywood party, Hilton says he bumped into New Light singer Mayer and his then-girlfriend Jessica Simpson.

In an extract from the book published in The Times, he writes: “I’d never met John before, but the minute Jessica introduced us, he began chatting to me. I was both surprised and flattered. Suddenly he leant in to me and said, ‘I like to watch gay porn, you know.’

“‘Oh really?’ I said, taking a quick sip of my drink to hide how surprised I was.

“‘Yeah,’ he said, leaning even closer. ‘My favourite gay porn star is Brent Corrigan.'”

Corrigan, whose real name is Sean Paul Lockhart, was the subject of 2016 movie King Cobra.

Claiming Mayer then said “‘[Corrigan] really turns me on'”, Hilton adds: “Everything happened very quickly after that. John leant in close and pushed his tongue into my mouth, and before I knew what was happening he was full on making out with me.”

It is certainly true that Mayer and Hilton kissed: Mayer said as much in a 2010 interview with Playboy, in which he used the now-contentious term “f*g.”

“The only man I’ve kissed is Perez Hilton,” he said. “It was New Year’s Eve and I decided to go out and destroy myself. I was dating Jessica at the time, and I remember seeing Perez Hilton flitting about this club and acting as though he had just invented homosexuality.

“All of a sudden I thought, ‘I can outgay this guy right now’. I grabbed him and gave him the dirtiest, tongue-iest kiss I have ever put on anybody – almost as if I hated f*gs.

“I don’t think my mouth was even touching when I was tongue kissing him, that’s how disgusting this kiss was. I’m a little ashamed. I think it lasted about half a minute. I really think it went on too long.”

Attitude has approached John Mayer for comment.
