Finally! Emmy Rossum explains the odd, irresistible appeal of Adam Duritz, AKA "Man-salve"

For decades, Adam Duritz's penis has seemed like a mysterious, heat-seeking missile programmed to hit every sexy, super-famous, more-attractive-than-him actress in his path. Similar in style to Señor D*ckhead John Mayer, Duritz has repeatedly dated out of his league--his former flames include A-list women like Jennifer Aniston, Mary-Louise Parker, Courteney Cox, Winona Ryder, and Christina Applegate to name a few.

However, unlike Mayer, the Counting Crows singer doesn't seem like an evil, opportunistic, mind-screwing turdbag who plays on women's insecurities and makes them feel self-loathing and crazy and desperate (what Señor D*ckhead John Mayer did to Jessica Simpson should be criminal, and we don't even like J Simps).

So, what's the story? Is it possible that Duritz is one of those mystical, magical ugly-hot dudes? The kind of man-salve oracle who heals one's old relationship wounds with his good vibes, good lovin', and, in this case, Sideshow Bob hair? (Other men in this category: Harry from Sex in the City, Christina Aguilera's husband Jordan Bratman, and Turtle--in real life and on the show.)

According to Duritz's current lady, the newly divorced actress Emmy Rossum (not super-famous or the hottest, but she is 22 years his junior--way to go Adam!), the singer is “extremely kind, incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, creative and respectful.”

That confirms it: He's man-salve!

    How do you know that John Mayer was "a d*ckhead"? Were you in their relationship? Are you Jessica's bff? What a waste of an article...

    It may surprise you to hear that I am, in fact, not Jessica Simpson's best friend. Weird, right? But I read a lot of things and I've dated a lot of men and while I can't be absolutely, totally sure that John Mayer is a super-awful woman-hating d*ckhead, I feel pretty confident that he is. Sorry you feel I've wasted your time, Gigi. I will try harder!

    Geez, I've always hated this dudes voice! And I'm a singer and can appreciate other singers but his just always made me wanna vomit. Funny thing is what chance would he have if he wasn't a popular musician who has money? Man-salve, as you call it, is everywhere if you look. And we're not all butt ugly either lol.

    hey hockey, I heard that! We musicians are people too LOL.

    "Senor D*ckhead"....hahaha I love it. I always found it ironic that he sings that songs about "fathers be good to your daughters", but then treats women like crap. He may or may not be a womanizer in real life, but he sure does play one for the media!

    He does look pretty goofy in that pic, but I have seen pics where I found him somewhat good looking. I don't care about what musician dates what actress beyond mild entertainment of shows like E.T.

    I like the music of both Counting Crows and John Mayer very much. That is what is important to me.

    I'm with TJS. I can't stand the guy's voice. He's not my ideal man, but maybe he knows how to treat women.

    Yes, the key is in HOW well a man treats a woman. I've often found the sexiest men are those who aren't pretty, but have treated me with such love, care, respect, manners, and desire. Men who are supportive, generous, unpretentious, funny, accepting, easy going, and compassionate as well as passionate. He cares what you think and feels and actually listens to you when you talk and talk and talk. He also appreciates what you do for him and lets you know it. The more a man does all that, the more I want to do for him. It's a 2 way street.

    Yup and then the fun, good looking bad boy who knows what to say comes along and women's heads spin and "Huh, what was I saying?" happens and this guy is left in the dust hahahaha. I'm joking but tell me I'm wrong...LOL
