Jennifer Aniston's secret fling

05 May 11:19 PM

after a 20-minute argument on the phone last week.

The snitch says: "She [Aniston] is so intent on getting married and having children, he felt hemmed in.

"After a 20-minute phone conversation, he just said, 'I can't take it any more', and hung up. Then he texted, 'That's it - the end'."

The couple split last week after dating for five months, and conflicting reports have made it impossible to determine who was the 'dumper' and the 'dumpee' - until now.

Mayer publicly

confirmed

earlier this week that he and Aniston had parted.

"It's the most normal thing in the world. There's no lying, there's no cheating, there's no nothing," he said.

"People are different, people have different chemistry, different lives. You're either a cheater or you break up and I'm not the first one, I'm the second one.

"I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right."

He maintains that he still holds the actress in high regard.

"Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I have ever met.

"I think she's great. She's one of the most lovely people I have ever met in my life," he added.

Meanwhile, it looks like Mayer has gotten over the split lickety-split.

Rumour has it that he picked up a

on a recent night out. Boys will be boys.

So what do we think of dumping via text? Is it ever appropriate? Like hell it is. It's a callous act, baby. Like low, seriously low...lower than a snake's belly.

What do you guys think? Anyone out there ever been given the ol' heave-ho by text?

has confirmed (sort of) that she's with child.

Garner was interviewed by

this week and finally put paid to the pregnancy rumours.

When congratulated by the interviewer, she said: "Thank you, we're so excited, obviously."

So there you have it.

Former

singer

Brian McFadden

has landed himself in a spot of bother after making some rather ignorant remarks on

More FM

here in New Zealand.

The Irish singer was doing a guest stint on the station's breakfast show a few weeks ago, and made some rather foolish comments about homosexuality.

McFadden was talking on the radio about men who wear pink. Apparently it makes men look a little gay...blah, blah, blah.

Audio clip below.

McFadden insists his comments were taken out of context. He says in a statement:

"To come to the conclusion that I am homophobic from these sentences is far from the truth. Some of my friends and colleagues are gay and if I was truly homophobic then I have picked the wrong industry."

I doubt the guy's homophobic. A little ignorant around the edges maybe. Loving the "some of my best friends are gay" line. That makes up for the gaffe, obv.

Quote of the day

"I believe my last marriage turned me into an alcoholic. I was so miserable and stayed (in the relationship) because of the kids, but in the end it was awful for them because we were arguing. Six or seven years, I hid the bottles. When you're that depressed you can't even do it (stop drinking) for your kids - that's the most disgusting thing."

- Nip/Tuck fanatic Brigitte Nielsen

Mirror

"This

C/B list television actress

on a very hit CBS show is tired of

no one paying attention to her

. So, she did what any self respecting person would do in her situation. She hired a photographer who now follows her all day in his car and takes shots of her when she gets out, when she shops, shouting her name, drawing attention, whatever he can. He then tries to interest the magazines in buying them. Hasn't really worked well so far as no one ever posts any photos of her or talks about her."
