At a Christmas party on Tuesday night, John Mayer was trying to get a little friendlier with Ricki Lake.  According to Page Six, Mayer headed towards Lake and chatted her up.

The two talked about Lake’s new documentary, The Business of Being Born, before Mayer confessed, “I’ve had a crush on you for two years.” Helpful publicists then herded the two to a back table, where they exchanged numbers. Lake soon left and went to the Rose Bar, where Mayer texted her throughout the night.

I remember Ricki Lake from her talk show in the 90’s. She taught me the meaning of such slang terms of the day as chicken head, pigeon, and scrub.  Ahh…good times, good times.  Also, I might be completely out of the loop, but isn’t Mayer dating that chick from Friday Night Lights?  And isn’t Ricki Lake married?
