Mayer to escort Aniston to the Oscars

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Singer John Mayer says he is planning to escort his girlfriend, actress Jennifer Aniston, to the upcoming Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles.

Aniston's ex-husband Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Angelina Jolie are both nominated for Academy Awards this year. The winners will be announced at Sunday's Oscars show.

"I'll give you the scoop. I'm going to the Oscars. That's a PopSugar scoop. It's my first Oscars. And it's my first being an Oscar boyfriend," Mayer told PopSugar.com. "After that night I have a deal almost signed in blood that says I must go into the studio and finish this record. So, after Oscar Sunday, Monday morning I'm invisible. My goal is to not be on PopSugar for at least three months. That would mean I'm working. So it was great to win some Grammys but I'm happy to get back to work."

PopSugar.com said Aniston is rumored to be a presenter at the awards ceremony.
