ELTON JOHN’S NEW BABY HAS HIS OWN APARTMENT

No sooner did Elton John become a father than he bought his new baby Zachary an apartment of his own! When Elton and his partner David Furnish are in Los Angeles they live at the deluxe Sierra Towers high rise building with wraparound city views. Theirs is a large two bedroom 3 bath unit and they bought the smaller apartment next door where they parked little Zachary and round the clock nannies. Whether they have a connecting door is not known, but certainly now they won’t be disturbed by a crying baby. It’s estimated that Elton paid around a million dollars for the surrogate baby – including lawyers and paying the surrogate mother to never go public. Zachary the million dollar baby now has his own two million dollar apartment.

ELTON JOHN’S MOTHER IS CLEANING HOUSE AND AUCTIONING OFF HER MEMORIES

Elton John’s mother Sheila Farebrother, 85, is downsizing and she’s unloading a forty year collection of her famous son’s memorabilia. She’s not having a yard sale – it’ll be at the Gorringes auction house in Sussex on October 19, but Elton’s fans are in for a treat. Dozens of gold and platinum discs are up for sale as well as tour jackets and VIP backstage passes that Sheila used to get into his concerts, plus magazines and other odds and ends. Music industry experts predict there will be worldwide demand for these rare items because they belonged to Elton’s mother.

AMERICAN IDOL’S BACK-UP PLAN: JENNIFER LOPEZ

What do YOU think about Jennifer Lopez replacing Ellen Degeneres on American Idol? According to Nikki Finke, it’s a done deal whether you like it or not, and both parties seem quite happy. Ellen wanted OUT of her contract a year before it was up- she said doing the show was no fun. Jennifer’s career can use a boost, PLUS she knows a bit more about singing that Ellen does. Jennifer’s diva-ish glamour will also add a visual element to the judges panel. As for replacing Simon Cowell – everyone hoped for Elton John, but he’s too expensive and too busy. Steven Tyler is currently in talks for that slot.

ELTON JOHN: THIS DAMIEN HIRST PINK SPLATTERED AUDI IS WORTH A FORTUNE

Elton John is auctioning off this one of a kind Audi A1 that has been custom painted by the impossibly popular and “wealthiest living artist,” Damien Hirst. This particular Audi model won’t be available to the general public for months. Among other things, Hirst is famous for “spin paintings” and he did the same to this car. Despite Hirst’s obsession with “death,” Elton has assured art collecting bidders that the vehicle is “road legal and safe.” Since works by Hirst have sold for twenty million dollars, it will be interesting to see how much money Elton’s AIDS charity will benefit from this art inspired auction. We wish Elton would donate some of the money to women’s charities.

ELTON JOHN IS TOO OPINIONATED FOR EGYPT

Elton John managed to offend a whole lot of people with a few offhand comments he made to Parade Magazine not long ago and we kind of love him for it. According to our clever comrades in gossip at The Evil Beet, Elton mused “I think Jesus was a compassionate super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems.” He also blabbed “Try being a gay woman in the Middle East – you’re as good as dead!” In one fell swoop Elton enraged the Christian community and the Middle East. As a result, a Georgia man was arrested for plotting to murder Elton on YouTube, and Elton has been banned from performing in Egypt. Not to worry, Elton, we’re on your side.

ELTON JOHN DOESN’T LET KANYE WEST GET ON HIS NERVES

We’re always interested in who pals around with Elton John – we were surprised to learn about his drug counseling friendship with Eminem. Elton performed in Honolulu last weekend and Kanye West was seen hanging out in Elton’s dressing room backstage. According to a witness, Kanye was nonchalantly devouring fried chicken and smoking Newports, and Elton was visibly recoiling from the smell of the food and cigarettes, but he was “too polite to say anything.”

Even Elton John is cutting back due to the economic crisis. A few years ago he would have held his birthday party at a five star hotel or the hottest new club in town. But for his celebration this year, he rented out the Hamlet on Sunset. It’s a comfy, pleasantly old fashioned, modestly priced hamburger restaurant with a lounge. Dean Martin used to drink there. Elton attracted an eclectic crowd. Joan Collins (who owns a condo in the building next door) arrived with her husband Percy Gibson. Jackie Bisset came with an unidentified man. We always love seeing her. Sometimes RuPaul can slip by in a suit without being recognized. Here’s Chastity Bono. QVC hairdresser Nick Chavez and diet expert Nikki Haskell turned up together. It looks like Elton is getting Star Cruncher exercise equipment for his birthday.

THIS is serious business! Best buddies Elton John and Sharon Osbourne, clad in lookalike suits, are trying to pick out a pair of high heels for her at Barneys. They searched long and hard for exactly the right pair, in spite of the fact that Sharon’s pants totally conceal her footwear.
