ELTON JOHN IS WRITING A MUSICAL ABOUT ELIZABETH TAYLOR

13 years after her death, Elizabeth Taylor is coming to Broadway! Buoyed by the success of his stage musical based on the life of the late Tammy Faye Baker, Elton John is now writing a musical based on the life of Liz! Elton and Liz bonded over their charitable efforts to raise money for AIDS awareness and research, and now he’s working on songs and a plot to pay homage to her. Elton is telling pals he’s made great progress already and is working with some of Liz’s family members, longtime friends, and employees, to gather anecdotes and stories for the production.

Elton John Feud! Imitation Rod Stewart

ROD STEWART LOVES TO IMITATE ELTON JOHN

Rod Stewart posted this photo of himself onstage at a recent concert and he’s in the middle of doing a not-so-flattering impersonation of Elton John – wearing funny glasses and a loud jacket, pretending to play the piano. It was captioned “Still love you, Elt” We didn’t realize the two singers had a long-running playful “feud.” It started in the 70’s when Rod’s billboards for “Blondes Have More Fun” were all over the place – Elton had billboards put up with own picture that said “But Brunettes Make More Money.” Elton got really annoyed when Rod called Elton’s 2018 Farewell Tour “dishonest- just a way to sell tickets!” He was right – Elton is still touring…

Amber Heard Email Johnny Depp Lawsuit

JOHNNY DEPP: NOT AS SWEET AS HE LOOKS

If you’ve been leaning toward supporting Johnny Depp in this sordid lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard, take a moment to look at some details. We’ve all heard the accusations of horrible behavior on both sides and it IS hard to decide who’s telling the truth. That’s why you must consider the emails. Emails don’t lie. Here’s an example: Johnny claimed Amber told him his kids disliked him and he was a bad father. He insisted the kids actually disliked AMBER.
But an email he sent to pal Elton John (after splitting with Vanessa Paradis) tells a different story. He said his kids had fallen “head over heels” for Amber, and Vanessa was trying to “brainwash” his kids against him. That’s when he referred to Vanessa as “the French extortionist” (Keep in mind Vanessa has always been supportive of Johnny and insisted he didn’t abuse women) Johnny’s drug-addled recollections don’t match up to those awful (and numerous) emails- they are a dead giveaway…

Britney Spears Elton John Mystery Oscar Party Sam Asghari

BRITNEY’S FIANCEE IS PARTYING WITHOUT HER

OK- here’s a little Oscar mystery. Britney Spears’ personal trainer fiancee Sam Asghari turned up dressed in a tuxedo, at the Elton John AIDS viewing party ALONE. No Britney. What do you suppose happened? Certainly Britney was the one invited. Invitees donate a lot of money to enjoy this event. Tickets just to the after-party cost over $5000 apiece- and the dinner tickets (when Sam arrived) costs $9000 per person. Did Britney back out at the last minute? If so, why did Sam come alone? Does he have wealthy friends to hang with inside? Hmmm…

Elton John Worst Dressed

ELTON JOHN: WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK

Years ago we were fascinated by Elton John’s shopping habits – we used to write about him going to the pricey Maxfield store and buying almost EVERYTHING they had in his size (he was slimmer in those days.) Elton loved designer clothes and his stage outfits were flashy and creative and fun. He also wore beautifully tailored clothes off-stage. WHAT HAPPENED? We just saw this photo of Elton exiting his private plane in Australia and he looks awful. That shiny, clingy tracksuit reminds us of the way middle aged Russian men dressed in the 90’s. And those clunky white designer shoes on top of it! Elton definitely looked better when he was a shopaholic…

Dodi Fayed Elton John Paparazzi Prince Harry Princess Diana Private Jet

ELTON JOHN HAS CONVENIENT MEMORY LAPSES WHEN IT COMES TO PRINCESS DIANA

Gotta disagree with Elton John once again. Elton is irate because UK press pointed out that Prince Harry claims to care about the environment, yet he and Meghan and their baby flew on a private jet to visit Elton’s estate in France. Elton tweeted it was HIS idea to fly private, and blasted the press for disrupting the couple’s “safety and tranquility.” He went so far as to say “Prince Harry’s mother Diana was one of my closest friends and I feel obliged to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Diana’s death!“ Elton has conveniently forgotten that Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed were killed by their own drunk chauffeur who was speeding. The driver worked for Dodi Fayed’s family, and Dodi was famous for courting the press. He liked to tip them off as to where he and Diana would be. In fact, he was SO nice to reporters that he provided me, the gossip columnist for Star Magazine, an expensive lunch for two at the Ritz Hotel in Paris and a Ritz bathrobe to take home, among other gifts. Dodi Fayed’s father felt guilty and embarrassed that HIS drunk driver got Diana and his own son killed, and he dedicated his life to blaming paparazzi. So Elton, wise up!

Bad Fashion David Furnish Elton John

ELTON JOHN: MOVE OVER, JUSTIN BIEBER!

Granted, Elton John’s hair looks really good, but his taste in fashion is starting to rival our Worst Dressed Celebrity, Justin Bieber, who also favors lavender. Elton and his husband David Furnish (also questionably attired) hosted his AIDS Foundation Midsummer Party in France dressed like THIS. We remember when Elton used to shop flamboyantly at Maxfield and purchase almost everything he could find in his size. Not any more…

Elton John Teeth

WHAT’S UP WITH ELTON JOHN’S TEETH?

The Lion King is apparently a very big deal in the UK because tons of celebrities were in attendance, among them, Elton John. We thought Elton looked nicely put together until we saw this close-up photo of him smiling, revealing his godawful teeth. What possesses this man to spend unbelievable amounts of money on HIS WARDROBE and every other luxury imaginable – yet he neglects a basic essential – HIS TEETH? Has he never smiled at himself in the mirror? Yikes…

Elton John Movies Rocketman

ROCKETMAN REVEALS ELTON JOHN TO BE AN AWFUL HUMAN BEING, BUT SEE IT ANYWAY

Through the years we enjoyed a few of Elton John’s songs, but never thought about him one way or the other. Elton was known to be litigious and never seemed to have much of a sense of humor about himself. But Rocketman changed everything. The movie is totally fun and very entertaining – obviously destined to become a Broadway musical. But we can never look at Elton the same way again – he was revealed to be a person of such despicable character. Despite his monumental success, he blamed his parents for his chronic unhappiness and through the years was ill-tempered, shockingly self indulgent in every way, with a total disregard for others, and little or no gratitude. Yet he whined incessantly that he couldn’t find love! Finally, Elton couldn’t stop patting himself on the back for joining AA! We exited Rocketman with a very negative opinion of Elton John – ironically, he admitted it was accurate.

Elton John Taron Egerton Tom Hardy

ELTON JOHN HAS COME TO HIS SENSES

When Elton John announced that he’d cast Tom Hardy to star in his own biopic Rocketman, we thought he’d lost his mind. Of ALL people – Mad Max hunk Tom Hardy? It would be the HEIGHT of vanity. Hardy was up for the challenge, but Elton eventually came back to reality and settled on Kingsman series star Taron Egerton, 28, (above) who’s shorter and can also SING. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Taron is already recording songs for the movie. Elton’s husband David Furnish is producing the movie and we imagine they must have had SOME fun holding auditions for the Elton role.
