Salma Hayek and her husband Francois Henri Pinault are in Venice with their daughter Valentina. Elton John, David Furnish, and their sons Zachary and Elijah -- cute! -- have arrived there too. Also, Leonardo DiCaprio who still hasn’t outgrown his jump-into-dumpster-when-paps-are-around phase. Full Story

Elton John threw a big party to celebrate husband David Furnish’s 50th birthday last night in LA. Johnny Depp showed up. And can you believe it? I think he maybe only wore 2 scarves. Just 2 and not 5! Still, definitely 5 necklaces. And an assortment of rings. But no waist chains. Which is a bonus. Full Story

OK Channing Tatum. I see what you’re doing. Here you are, such a gamer, last night at the Rainforest Fund Revlon concert in New York, grinding up on Elton John on stage, not taking yourself so seriously (unlike Justin Timberlake), endearing yourself to your gay fans and then your lady fans, dropping some old school Step Up moves while romance-dancing  your wife Jenna Dewan. Full Story

I would have wanted to sit at that table. Next to Latifah and Mary J. Especially during Madonna’s nauseating acceptance speech. Because did you see Latifah’s face? She was ...patronising. And she was holding back some serious sh-t. The video is below. And I’ve also screen-capped their expressions. Amazing, right? Right after that they cut to Elton John who was overheard, much earlier, at the beginning of the broadcast, saying NO F-CKING WAY when someone asked if Madonna had a chance of winning. Full Story

Justin Timberlake was in New York last night. Stopped by Letterman to promote IN TIME, then it was off to his restaurant Southern Hospitality for a private party that included Elton John and David Furnish. This is the first time they’ve agreed to be photographed together since breaking up and getting back together. Full Story

The Squawking Chicken called it all along that the Year of the Open Mouth Tiger would bring the drama. It’s come in the form of natural disasters, international conflict, digital warfare, economic crises, and much, much more. My mother, who is of the Tiger sign, had a rough one herself. She forgot to get a blessing from the contrarian temple even though she had advance notice that the year would try her. Full Story

This is Elton John today in London leaving BBC Studios looking like Jim Carrey’s Riddler. He was asked on the radio today whether or not he’ll be performing at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding. Elton’s response: "I probably am." Then, perhaps realising that wasn’t the most prudent thing to say, he covered: "I'll probably be busking outside. Full Story

How do you go to the pub? Your most comfortable jeans, flat boots? If I’m going to the pub down the road, I take out my contact lenses and throw on my nerd glasses too. But I am not Lady Gaga. She went to the pub in London today. And this. She also sent milk and cookies outside to the paps waiting for her. Full Story

There's a lot to say. And I'm shooting at the Kodak right now so blogging on my blackberry. Don't want you to wait so long for me to write so am splitting last night's observations into several posts. Photos will come later when the agency sends to me. For now we're using file shots. Full Story

“How wonderful life is, with Gaga in the world." I liked her, and then I saw her live. And that’s when you know. She’s so sublimely absurd, ridiculous, campy, and the theatricality of it all is so intoxicating, so amusing, so ENTERTAINING, so cleverly ironic, you cannot help but love her. Full Story

Elton John played Barcelona last night. Looks like it was an energetic performance. Never knew the Queen was so flexible. We are sitting in the ferry line right now and I’m tempted to get out of the car and try this on the hood. I have to know if I can pull the same move. Jacek keeps telling me I’m too uncoordinated. Full Story

Elton opened the show and yes… that was Poison at the Tony Awards. POISON! Last night’s Tonys were all about the Queens. The Queens are holding up beautifully. Was really, really hoping for a Dolly/Liza/Elton photo opportunity but unfortunately, not even the Secret Service could make that sh-t happen. Full Story

At the GQ Men of the Year Awards last night in London, Lily Allen was overdressed and overdrunk, arriving in an inexplicably over the top massive gown and getting progressively more licked as the evening wore on, so drunk she dared to disrespect Elton John on stage. They appeared together, with Lily attached to a bottle of champagne. Full Story

Bitterly disappointing his fans when he hooked up with Jessica Simpson and literally pissed all over her, the man behind limp dick pseudo-sensitive songs like Wonderland and Daughters decided to tap the emptiest blonde in Hollywood, disillusioning supporters and supposedly taking a hit in ticket sales. Full Story
