John Mayer at Studio Q

This week Icepack's got an abbreviated WHOWHATWHERE section, but trust me, it's a doozy. First up: Possibly-racist-maybe-misogynist-definitely-dumb John Mayer (pictured) at Q102's studios for its (kinda) new Studio Q performance series. Mayer, who we last saw comparing bellies and abs with The Situation in New York City, mashed a version of Justin Beiber's "Baby" into Mayer's own tame-boy anthem "Your Body is a Wonderland" and covering Katy Perry's vivacious "California Gurls." Mayer also did some of his own milquetoast tunes and took station jock Maxwell up on a Rocks-Paper-Scissors match. What else? âº Sticking to the musical tip Freeway, Beanie Sigel and Peddi Peddi were at the Unity in the Community block party on Snyder Ave. âº Before doing his Lulu bit in a ball gown with ostrich feather shoulders at the Mann, Rufus Wainwright hit the Art Museum to marvel at the Rocky impersonators. âº After his Black Keys jammed the outre-blues at Penn's Landing's Great Plaza (check out Patrick Rapa's pics!), Dan Auerbach hit Silk City. âº I'm bored of music — what's good with the cinematic tip? âº Are Lili Taylor and Amy Madigan here yet? The queens-of-indie-flick-dom are starring in the laugh-fest Future Weather that starting lensing the other day. âº Guess we'll have to make due with Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman and Anna Kendrick — the cast of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, out Fri., Aug. 13 — who supped at Parc while on break from promoting the film. In more Oh-My-God-Celebs-Eat-Food news, the Ruby Tuesdays on Chestnut Street got a visitor from its Liberty condo-dwelling porn-tape-having football widowing neighbor Kendra Wilkinson. She stopped by and ate at the restaurant twice last week.

And to round out Icecube's simpleton edition, we found our exquisitely accented friends from the MTV series Jersey Shore (the second ep of the season 2 premieres tonight at 10 p.m., with special Kanye West video preview) filming season 3 in Seaside Heights, NJ mere days after Snooki face-planted herself in the sands and got arrested for drunken dis-awwwwwwwwwwwwder.

I just read your first paragraph and can't be bothered to read the rest. What garbage! If you don't have the intellect, humour, and analysis to understand someone as sophisticated as Mayer, then please be quiet. Attacking someone for absolutely no reason except that he provided witty, fun banter for his fans, is nasty on your part.

All I can say,
About the performance,
I saw that day.
It was simply marvelous.
I wish you may,
have a real chance,	
to watch and you'll reply,
That it's just fabulous.
