Madonna Wins Golden Globe, Elton John’s Husband Reacts

At the Golden Globe Awards, Madonna and Elton John were both up for best original song, and traded insults on the red carpet, but after Madonna won, John’s husband David Furnish lashed back on his Facebook page.

“Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!” Furnish said on Facebook, according to TMZ. “Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism.”

He also called Madonna’s recent criticism of Lady Gaga “desperate.”

Furnish may have been referring to several aspects of Madonna’s speech, which came after her song “Masterpiece,” from her film “W.E.,” beat out John’s “Hello Hello from “Gnomeo and Juliet.”

Before the night’s festivities, Elton told NBC’s Carson Daly that Madonna “doesn’t have a f***ing chance of winning tonight.” After laughing, Daly asked if those were “fighting words” but Elton called them “accurate words.”

When Daly told Madonna about Elton’s jab, she asked, “Was he wearing a dress?’ … adding, “may the best man win.”

According to Us Weekly, Madonna voiced her hopes backstage that she and Elton could patch things up. “I hope he speaks to me for the next couple of years,” she quipped. “He’s been known to get mad at me so I don’t know. He’s brilliant and I adore him so he’ll win another award. I don’t feel bad!”

Lady Gaga To Open The Grammys With Sir Elton John

This Sunday’s Grammys will get a kick start like none other when Lady Gaga takes the stage to open the awards show. And she won’t be alone.

Rumors have been swirling all week that Gaga will be joined by Sir Elton John and E! News is confirming the report. According to their source, “They’ll be doing some sort of medley (‘Tiny Just Dancer’ or ‘Don’t Let the Bad Romance Go Down on Me’ perhaps?) set to a ‘factory’-themed set and costumes…We’re not quite sure whether Elton or Gaga will both be tickling the ivories, but at least one of them will. Gaga is said to be ‘rehearsing like crazy’ at Center Stage in Burbank, and one of the tracks getting practice time is ‘Telephone’.”

It was almost a decade ago that Sir Elton John joined Eminem for a duet at the Grammys. The two formed a friendship that would later find Elton coming to Eminem’s aide as he tried to kick his drug addiction. Something seems more fitting about Eminem teaming up with Gaga this time around.

Tune into The Grammys on CBS this Sunday, January 31 at 8pm.

Have fun, have lots of safe sex, and enjoy your sexuality. Be proud of who you are.”
