Jen & John, the Blabby Aftermath: Breakup by Text Message?

For what amounted to little more than a summer fling, there sure is a lot of mud being flung over Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer's fizzled romance.

In what we sincerely hope is the final gasp from the gabby, finger-pointing insiders populating their respective camps, more details have surfaced about the supposed circumstances surrounding their bust-up.

The London Daily Mirror alleges that the usually long-winded crooner, 30, opted for brevity when they finally imploded, sending the actress, 39, a "Dear Jane" text message.

"She is so intent on getting married and having children, he felt hemmed in," a snitch maintains to the paper. "After a 20-minute phone conversation, he just said, 'I can't take it anymore,' and hung up. Then he texted, "That's it -- the end."

While the missive doesn't have quite the same impact as the Post-It note kiss-off Carrie received on "Sex and the City" ("I'm sorry, I can't. Don't hate me"), the ostensibly quick turnaround between the hang-up and the breakup does seem to fit in with what John told reporters last weekend of his romance-withdrawal timetable.

"I ended a relationship to be alone because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right," he indiscreetly announced on a New York City street. "I don't waste people's time."

Speaking of Mayer's impromptu interview, Us Weekly says Aniston was "completely humiliated and just sick to her stomach" over his videotaped declaration that he was the one who called it quits.

"This is not high school, but for some reason, John seems to think the whole world should know who ended the relationship," a source told the mag.

So why'd he do it?

"John was angry," a buddy explains to the New York Daily News. "He's been relentlessly hounded by the media on the streets. So he decided to push back."

But will the actress, who a pal insists to Us is actually the one did the ditching, return the favor by spilling about her blabbermouth former flame?

Jen and John jump into the dating pool last May.

"Jennifer would be well within her rights to tell the whole world everything about that creep," snipes a friend to the magazine. "But she won't because she's got too much class."

For now, says the confidant, "Jennifer needs some time to herself. When she's ready, she needs to find a mature man ready for a grown-up relationship."

But are Aniston's associates trying to help her make a match sooner rather than later?

The New York Daily News says Aniston's agents have been calling up eligible bachelors in order to find her a date.

One guy, described as "a tall, dark and handsome writer," gave an enthusiastic, "Of course!" when asked if he was interested in taking out the star, who may not have been aware of the desperation-tinged dial-a-date mission purportedly undertaken on her behalf.

Aniston, who was spotted in New York this week exiting Nobu with her "Object of My Affection" co-star Paul Rudd (just a friendly meal; the immensely likeable actor is married with a kid), has reportedly instructed her people to lay off the cold-calling.
