NEW YORK (AP) -- Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo is continuing his celibacy past his self-declared deadline.

The 35-year-old frontman earlier vowed to remain celibate for two years. Although that deadline expired six months ago, Cuomo still doesn't expect to jump back in the sack anytime soon.

"It's been two-and-a-half years now, actually," Cuomo tells Blender magazine in its new issue, on newsstands Tuesday. "The vow is over, but I wanted to keep cruising."

Though he's a lead singer for a popular rock band, the bespectacled Cuomo says it's not difficult to manage restraint.

"Abstinence doesn't require as much self-discipline anymore," he says. "We never had any serious groupies, anyway. Our generation got screwed."

Cuomo's vow makes Weezer's 2005 music video for "Beverly Hills" somewhat unusual; it was filmed at the Playboy mansion with dozens of Playboy models and Weezer fans.

Earlier this year, Weezer released their fifth album, "Make Believe."

Cuomo is also pursuing a degree in English literature from Harvard University, for which he has one semester left.

this is the second time i've seen this article today. how does this become newsworthy? i know more about rivers cuomo's penis than i do about the extended weather forecast for christmas week.

Yeah, I've been hearing about this too.

Good for Rivers, I guess. His reasonings are more personally spiritual than publicly religious or political, but I think this could serve as a decent example of self discipline to certain younger fans.

As far as sex with a Weezer guy goes, though, River's somewhat nerdsexy. But Matt Sharp took about 80% of that band's geeky carnal appeal with him when he left years ago.

Celibacy leaves a lot to be desired.

Not really: both are overcast and mild with a 30% chance of precipitation.

i guess abstinence is realistic . other than that, i don't know why this is a newsworthy article.

How is this newsworthy?

Tonnes of emo kids can't get laid.

I bet it is tough to meet quality women being in that band. That is newsworthy because you might think he gets tons of action, but he really doesn't. I read that he likes Asian women. They are a great band.

The last reference to the Weezer guys sex life I remember was that he liked hookers...there has to be a happy medium in there somewhere

Has there been a big demand?

Just askin'.

he has 2 jerk off!!!!!

Men do it 24 7!!

Like me

totally

i've been celibate for my entire 25-year existence. why the hell ain't i in the news, then? seriously, if this is that important...

I'm thinking it's news because he may be able to infuence his fans to also be celibate. I think it's a good thing

He's just copying Morrissey.

Janfriend said:

then he should make another album like 'maladroit'.
