Elton John traveled to Washington Monday to receive the National Association of Broadcasters' Service to America Leadership Award. Ever socially aware, NAB honored John's tireless work against that international nightmare, HIV/AIDS.

The guest list looked like a who's who of American culture, with democratic Senator Barbara Boxer and Representative John Dingell sitting side by side with Miss America, Lauren Nelson and Inside Edition's Deborah Norville. Meanwhile, Oleta Adams put a jazzy spin on some of John's classics, like "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," which Elton no doubt did.

Taking the stage, Elton - who has cited Ryan White as his inspiration for his activism - told the enraptured audience,

This is a chance to make up for behavior I deeply regretted … I’m like the whore that goes around and rattles people’s wallets.

As opposed to the whore that goes around and rattles people's wieners? (Seriously, we've looked around for more quotes from his speech, but this is the only one we could find. It's a bit twisted, don't you think?)

In other Elton John fights AIDS news, Mariah Carey signed on to headline the Elton John AIDS Foundation's June 29th One Mighty Party. Fag favorite Carey will apparently sing six dance remixes at the Paris event. We're totally there!! In spirit, of course.

Lindsay Lohan's former bodyguard, Lee Weaver, sure has some loose lips. In addition to blowing up Lohan's 10-hour blowfest with Nicole Ritchie, the 48-year old hulk alleges Lil' Lilo got down with the ladies:

She used boys for drugs and girls for thrills. I lost count of the women she took back to her hotel room from clubs. I even saw her try to grope Mariah Carey’s bottom and boobs one night as they danced. One time I went to look for her in a club bathroom and found her in the corner French-kissing a girl.

Lost count of the women she brought back to her hotel room? Hmm, that's a bit nebulous. She could have just been snorting lines with them. Or, if we can inject some more explicit lesbian fantasy, she snorted circles of coke off her trick's titties, suckled said titties, went on downtown and munched that carpet like she had lost a gram.

Hopefully Samantha Ronson's not the jealous type.

Having lost twenty or so pounds over the last few months, Mariah Carey is looking good for a drag queen, though we doubt she ever stopped loving herself. Supposedly she caught the eye of the powers-that-be at Louis Vuitton while lying among their trademark trunks in a bikini for a music video shoot. He just thought she looked so… thin. And her boobs looked so… weird, but in a fashiony way. And well, she's thoroughly Emancipated Mimi; who can compete with that? Perhaps Lindsay Lohan should be worried for her future with the fickle Frenchman.
