During her brief split with John Mayer, Jen's people were apparently looking for suitable red carpet candidates.
"She didn't want to face the glare of being unattached while Brad Pitt toted Angelina Jolie around," for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Page Six quotes a source as saying, adding that she "did not want to be single when her movie opened."

"A friend of her agent was calling around asking for young men whom they could set her up with," the source adds.
However drastic measures were avoided when Jen and John reunited, and it seems the musician has been playing his part.
"I'm here to support my girl," he told reporters at the L.A. premiere.
