Lady Gaga Wins Grammys
Posted in Elton John, Lady Gaga on the February 1, 2010
Lady Gaga was up for five Grammy awards last night and before the festivities even went live on the air, the princess of pop already won two awards. The singer took home the awards for Best Electronic/Dance Album for ‘The Fame’ and Best Dance Recording for ‘Poker Face’. She went on Twitter after winning saying “We won two grammy’s already little monsters + I dedicate them to u! I ruined my makeup crying! Look for little monster suprise [sic] on the piano.” She was of course talking about her epic performance with Elton John. Just when I thought she could do nothing else to surprise me, she does.
Elton John to play with Lady Gaga at the Grammys?
Posted in Elton John, Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga on the January 28, 2010
Elton John is rumoured to be teaming up with Lady Gaga at this weekend’s Grammys.
The Rocket Man star stunned audiences when he performed with Eminem nine years ago.
And sources say he is planning to do the same on Sunday when he takes to the stage with the Poker Face singer.
Sir Elton, 62, had no comment when asked about the collaboration.
But Gaga is also set to play at a February AIDS benefit in New York where he will be honoured.
The Grammys take place in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
It follows reports that Michael Jackson’s children may perform in a tribute to their famous dad, who died last June at the age of 50.
Elton John Helping Eminem
Posted in Drugs, Elton John, Eminem on the January 4, 2010
Although it seems like an odd partnership, Elton John has been key in helping Eminem recover from his addiction to prescription drugs. Elton, who has his own issues with substance abuse, said “I’ve been helping Eminem over the last 18 months and he’s doing brilliantly.” The rapper had his first stint in rehab back in 2005, in which he almost overdosed on methadone. His sobriety didn’t stick and by May of 2009, Eminem developed a habit that led him to taking nearly 20 Vicodin, Ambien and Valium a day. Elton continued “I’m there if people want my help. If people ask for help you tell them where to go but there’s no point advising people if they don’t want to do it.”
Elton John Can’t Adopt
Posted in Elton John on the September 17, 2009
As it was earlier reported, Elton John and his partner David Furnish were ready to begin the process of adopting Ukrainian toddler Lev. However, the Ukrainian government has very strict adoption rules and it appears that not even the legendary singer can break them. Elton and David have been united under a civil partnership in the UK since 2005 but Ukrainian law states that a couple must be legally married. Also, they ban gay couples from adopting and potential parents must not be 45 years older than the child they wish to adopt. There’s a bit of light at the end of the tunnel though. If Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko grants a presidential dispensation, they would be able to adopt baby Lev on the condition that they adopt his brother as well.
