(Aug. 29) - You could almost imagine Jennifer Aniston telling herself, "In Your Face! In Your Face!" to ex-boyfriend John Mayer during the star's recent jaunt to New York City, where she flaunted her sexy figure and dined at his favorite restaurant with old friend, Paul Rudd.

Johnnifer, Failed Love Story

Just a few weeks removed from being dumped by John Mayer, Jennifer Aniston went on a so-called "revenge tour" in New York City, where the singer lives part-time. The 'Friends' alum dined with old pal, Paul Rudd, at Nobu, Mayer's favorite hangout, on Aug. 19.

A fellow diner said the pair "looked like two close friends catching up and discussing doing another project together." Of course, Rudd made a star turn on "Friends" as Phoebe's husband on the show.

A week after putting the brakes on their summer romance, Mayer told the world exactly why he's no longer with Aniston, saying he broke up with her because he didn't want to "waste somebody's time if something's not right."

Just a week prior to the split, two major tabloids claimed that Aniston was getting married (OK!) to Mayer and was also planning on having the singer's baby (Star).

The MayerSton love train was cruising along for months, but the duo never made any intentional public appearances. Here, they're caught either snuggling or hiding from photographers during a stopover in London earlier this summer.

OK! Magazine was along for the ride during her so-called "revenge tour" and the following are excerpts from this week's cover story:

Rudding It in Mayer's Face: She donned a figure-hugging gray dress for dinner at [ex John Mayer's] favorite restaurant, Nobu, with ... Paul Rudd on Aug. 19. "Jen was glowing, smiling and being very friendly ... It was hard to believe this was a woman who just broke up with her boyfriend," a restaurant insider tells OK!. "She did a lot of the talking, and they flipped through a script. Jen told Paul she was looking forward to getting back to work. They looked like two close friends catching up and discussing doing another project together.

Take THAT! "It's like Jen is on nothing less than a revenge tour," an eyewitness tells OK!. "While in the past, Jen shunned publicity and shrank from photographers' lenses, now she's openly encouraging the attention, smiling, showing off her body, and creating photo ops!"

Art Therapy: "I think she's doing whatever she can to get her mind off the breakup, finding something to immerse herself in, and this is the best place to do it," a Metropolitan Museum of Art worker says of the actress' surprise visit there on Aug. 20. "It's soothing ... She was getting out, doing something cultural on her own."

Look Good, Get Revenge: L.A.-based psychologist Yvonne Thomas tells OK! Jen's behavior is typical of a woman coping with a breakup. "It's so true that looking great is the best revenge. Jen's showing John, 'Look at what you're missing' and 'I'm not suffering because of you.' A pinch of that revenge feeling is fine - it's just human nature and normal. By being seen looking happy in public, she shows she's proud of herself. And she has every right to be!"

What About John? After attending a charity benefit on Aug. 21 ... John dined at Nobu and partied at La Esquina all with a familiar brunette in tow. "He opened doors for her and was a real gentleman," an eyewitness tells OK!. "This girl seems to be on the sidelines for whenever John is single. She always pops up in the most unexpected places."
