Jennifer Aniston's friends say the actress is not upset by John Mayer dumping her via text message. The two celebrities, Mayer and Aniston, began dating in April. They broke up earlier this month.
Sources have claimed that the split has hit Aniston, 39, hard but her friends now insist that she didn’t see a future with the 30-year-old singer.
“Jen didn’t see herself and John having much in common or having a future together,” a friend said. “She wasn’t fazed by the ending of it. She wasn’t hurt at all. She feels fine.”
Meanwhile, insiders have said that Aniston turned to her ex-husband Brad Pitt after the split. A source claims the "Friends" actress talked with Pitt over the phone after trying to get in touch with his mother Jane.

Alexis Miller, aka Maryjane, alleges that NBA star Shaquille O-Neal is stalking her. Miller is a 23-year-old hip-hop artist. Her stage name is Maryjane. She claimed she ended an intimate relationship with O'Neal last month. And, after her termination of their "union" Shaq then threatened to pay performers $50,000 each not to work with her, according to Miller.
Fulton County, in Atlanta, GA, Superior Court Judge Richard Hicks granted Alexis Miller's request. The judge reviewed her allegations that the basketball player stalked her, threatened her with bodily harm, and made harassing phone calls in which he breathed heavily into the phone before hanging up. As a result, Shaquille O'Neal has been ordered to steer clear of Alexis Miller, after the Atlanta-area woman took out a restraining order Thursday.
Both parties are ordered to appear in an Atlanta court in the first week of September.
Wow... what a way to go out, adding "stalker" to your legacy. Best to leave those "PYTs" (pretty young thing) alone when they say "go away."
