Elton John and a drunken, slurring Lily Allen got into it big time at a GQ awards show in London last night:

…When [Allen] introduced Carol Vorderman to the stage with a verbal tirade, saying 'Fuck' no fewer than five times in the same sentence, her co-host decided enough was enough.

When Miss Allen came to announce '…and now the most important part of the night', Elton chipped in 'What? Are you going to have another drink?'

She fired back: 'Fuck off Elton. I am 40 years younger than you and have my whole life ahead of me!'
…
A clearly rattled Elton replied 'I could still snort you under the table'. To which she replied: 'Fuck off. I don't know what you are talking about.'

Yes, you do, Lily. He's talking about cocaine!

Mario Testino, Elton John, Bill Clinton and other rich, famous people attended the 10th Annual White Tie and Tiara Ball, which raises money for Sir John's eponymous AIDS foundation. For no good reason other than it's Friday, here are some pictures of the host and the former president. Aren't they just precious?!

Elton John's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" invariably makes us teary. Throw in fellow homo George Michael and its full on water works. We feel much better now that we've gotten that doozy off our collective chest.

Elton John's love for Hillary Clinton may be tainted.

The British-born singer crooned last week for the presidential candidate, thus helping her raise $2.5 million, but now right-wing Judicial Watch has filed a formal FEC complaint against Clinton.

Radio City Music Hall was brimming with Hillary Clinton love last night, when singer Elton John performed a one-off fund raiser for the presidential hopeful. The Briton told the crowd that he whole-heartedly supports the Senator, and apparently the crowd did, too: they raised $2.5 million for her campaign.

John also took the time to take on what he calls America's misogyny: "I'm amazed by the misogynistic attitudes of some of the people in this country. And I say to hell with them …. I love you Hillary, I'll be there for you."

New fag stag Barack Obama better watch out, because Hillary Clinton's called in the Queen of all gays, Elton John!

The legendary pianist will perform a Madison Square Garden Radio City Music Hall concert for Mrs. Clinton on April 9, the first time he's played at the venue since 2000. John's so psyched about Clinton's candidacy, he even wrote a personal letter to supporters:

There is nothing I like better than throwing a party for a good friend. Will you come out to support my friend Hillary Clinton at a special, one-night-only solo concert in New York? I promise this will be one night that you won’t want to miss.

That's some real heart. And it's got a price tag: $250-2,300 a ticket or $10,000 to get all VIP with John and the Clintons. Start counting those pennies!

Elton John's Oscar bash was the place to be seen last night. Sean Penn and Patricia Clarkson were glowing, while Chace Crawford and JC Chasez got tongues wagging by sticking together during the event.

While those folk are all well and good, we're completely fascinated by this picture of Sean "Whosafuck" Combs with Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. Is this not the perfect trio? We've heard all sorts of rumors about Combs' sexuality, but - for some reason - it's this picture that makes us believe…

retroCRUSH recently published their list of twenty-five the "the greatest duets of all time". The forgot to include Aretha Franklin and George Michael's “I Knew You Were Waiting," but did include another old British queen, Elton John, who teamed up with Kiki Dee for "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".

Elton John's getting political. The bent British singer decided to use his fame and power to endorse homo Brian Paddick for London mayor.

Sir Elton John and his civil partner David Furnish are lending their support to Brian Paddick, the Liberal Democrat candidate in the London mayoral election.

One option being considered is for the celebrity couple to hold a fundraising dinner for Paddick, who was until recently Britain’s most senior openly gay police officer.

The endorsement is likely to increase Paddick’s appeal to London’s younger voters, as well as to some members of the gay community.

Um, really? Because the gays were probably already aware of Paddick's candidacy and the youth- well, do the youth care about Elton John. We figure he's bigger among the old queen set.

No doubt Elton John's one of the world's most visible, politically active gays. One can't help but wonder, then, why the singer chose to perform in an anti-gay nation:

Sir Elton John has surprised fans by announcing he will play his first gig in the United Arab Emirates later this month. The flamboyantly gay star… will perform at an open-air concert in Abu Dhabi's Emirates Palace Hotel.

The decision could leave Sir Elton open to charges of hypocrisy, because of the UAE's poor record on human rights.

Homosexuality is illegal: those convicted of it face jail sentences, or compulsary psychiatric 'treatment', including the injection of hormones designed to 'cure' them.

Repressive or not, the United Arab Emirate's money's still green. Wait, actually the dirham notes run on a rainbow spectrum. Hmmm…

• As we mentioned last Friday, Bid2Beat AIDS' ebay auction makes a triumphant return today. We'll be featuring a number of items over the next few days. Before we get to the Liza Minnelli and Neil Patrick Harris productsd, we'd like to highlight our current favorite: a signed Dynasty era Joan Collins poster. Have you ever seen anything more spectacular? We haven't. It's currently only 19.99: a small price to pay for a piece of camp history. Check it out here.

Elton John obviously envies David Beckham's balls:

Sydney's A-list may have been starstruck but it took Elton John to break the ice at the Foxtel is Football party last night, greeting guest of honour David Beckham with a cheeky quote, "Allo Golden Balls".

The football king and queen of crocodile rock's friendly banter kicked off the fun at Cafe Sydney, where the A-list went ga-ga over the LA Galaxy superstar.

As you can see, Pretty On The Outside offers us a look at Beckham's aforementioned balls. And, it appears, some wishful thinking.

Singer Elton John had some choice words for President Bush before his foundation's gala. When asked to comment on the American president's AIDS policy, John took aim at Bush's anti-sex stance:

They've made a grave error in giving millions to abstinence programs. They don't work. They were told in the beginning that it wouldn't work. It's a tragic waste of money. Please don't listen to those idiots. God almighty.

Meanwhile, Anderson Cooper, who also appeared at the gala, explained that his "young gay friends" underestimate AIDS:

I talk to young gay friends in New York, and some of them seem to think the AIDS problem is a thing of the past. … The reality is that it's getting worse, not better.

Yes, yes it is…

The coppers may have nabbed his Nan Goldin shot, but Elton John seemed carefree at his eponymous AIDS foundation's Enduring Vision benefit last night.

Anderson Cooper, David Furnish and The Osbournes all took the stage during the Chopard-sponsored event to fight the nasty retrovirus. Elton, of course, employed his sensational singing skills in a duet with kd lang. How gay!
