Back in April we learned that a songwriter named Guy Hobbs was suing Elton John and Bernie Taupin in an Illinois court for allegedly stealing the words to Hobbs’ song ‘Natasha’ for their 1985 hit ‘Nikita.’ TMZ is now reporting that John has filed his legal documents which deny the allegations and request immediate dismissal of the suit.

While the Olympians fight it out to win their gold, silver and bronze, the entertainment world is placing bets on what world famous artists might be featured in the closing ceremony on Sunday (Aug. 12).

There seem to be more and more celebrities and entertainers “coming out” than ever before and part of that is the public’s acceptance that’s built up over the years. But for Elton John, the singer says he never considered it that big of a thing when he made his announcement in 1988.

As Elton John prepares to release his new memoir ‘Love is the Cure: On Life, Loss and the End of AIDS,’ his reflection on the past has lead to some eye-opening revelations.

If this isn’t proof that kids ruin everything we don’t know what is! No, we’re kidding, of course. However, it is true that it’d be a sad day should Elton John decide to say goodbye to the yellow brick road that is his illustrious music career in order for him to raise his 19-month-old son — Zachary.

Elton John has done a lot and he’s seen a lot and the vocalist says he considers himself lucky to have emerged from a very destructive period in his life relatively unscathed.

Despite a busy schedule of writing, touring and philanthropy, Elton John seems to be enjoying his newfound status as a father. On Christmas Day 2010, he and longtime partner David Furnish became parents to a boy, Zachary, through a surrogate mother. Now, John is interested in adopting a second child, according to a new interview.

Elton John was hospitalized yesterday (May 23) in Los Angeles as a result of a serious respiratory infection, and has been forced to cancel four concerts in order to facilitate his recovery.

It was not even two years ago that Elton John released ‘The Union,’ his album-length collaboration with Leon Russell — and it was mere weeks ago that Cameron Crowe’s documentary about the making of the album premiered on HBO. But Elton is nothing if not prolific, and he’s already prepping his next release.

We tend to think of awards shows as excuses for famous people to get together in their finest duds and pat themselves on the back — and the same goes for the countless pre- and post-parties that go along with them. But while that may be true most of the time, Elton John‘s Oscar party is different — to the tune of more than $225 million raised for HIV/AIDS research over the last couple of decades.

Saturday night may be alright for fighting, but apparently Sunday will do in a pinch. If you watched the Golden Globes last night and saw Madonna collect the award for Best Original Song, you may have noticed the cameras cutting to a dour Elton John — and that nasty expression on his face wasn’t your imagination.

Justin Timberlake may be “burning out his fuse out there alone” if Elton John has anything to say about it. With plans for a biopic in the works, Sir Elton has declared the one time teen star Timberlake as his top choice to play him.
