Elton John And David Furnish Are Daddies Again
I don't appreciate getting the stare down first thing in the morning, but I'll let it pass, because: a) The starer-downer is a pupil of Hogwarts (that's where his blazer is from, right?) and; b) The starer-downer could definitely beat my ass, so I'll fall back this time.
The New York Post said last Thursday that another baby gets to nuzzle up in between Sir Elton John's wrinkly dumpling chichis, but he denied it. The Post said Elton and his husband David Furnish denied it, because they were trying to get a check for the announcement. But apparently, they denied it, because their baby hadn't been pulled out of their leased baby oven yet. Elton and David's second son was born via a Las Vegas surrogate last Friday in Los Angeles. Their new baby weighed in at 8lbs 4oz., they named him Elijah Daniel Joseph Furnish-John and when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was his 2-year-old brother Zachary Jackson Levi Furnish-John staring him down.
Elton and David gave this paragraph of words to HELLO! last night:
"Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable. The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way. It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement."
So many bitches give Elton John shit for getting himself a newborn baby when he's at least 250 years old, but I think it's a smart move. IN THIS ECONOMY, a family needs to save money when going out to dinner and three out of the four members of Elton's family get to order off of the discount menu. Elton gets to order from the seniors menu and his two kids get to order from the baby menu. Also, sitting through a graduation ceremony is like not being allowed to close your eyes after getting shot up with morphine. They are boring! But since Elton is going to be 266 when his first son graduates from high school, he'll get to nap throughout the ceremony and a bitch can't scold him for it. You have to have a heart made of out Lucifer farts to yell at an old bitch for napping.
But I will give Elton and David the Zachary-approved stare down for once again giving their kid ten names. Does Elijah Daniel Joseph Furnish-John really need a hundred names? They're not Latin damn. It's a good thing you don't have to include your middle initials when initialing HIGHLY IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS, because if you did it would take Elton's sons eons to get through a credit loan application.

We hope something very bad happens to Lady Elton.
I'm a bit tardy to this party, but I'm assuming Zack just saw Madonna burn the hydrangea bouquet he gave her for the holidays (what better way to patch things up than have an adorable BABEH give a gag gift?).

Anyone else remember Tony Randall? He had his kids in his late 70s and talked about how happy it made him. His kids were 6 and 4 when he died. I wonder how happy that made them, to grow up without a father. Selfishness at its worst.
____________________________________________
Fuck! That's sad.
My dad has dementia and is in a home. It sucks but I'm an adult and can deal. Can't imagine being a teenager or younger and dealing with it.
Congratulations to them. Furnish seems like the nicest dad ever and Elton can provide anything they could ever want - plus there will always be music in the home.
This baby boy looks adorbs, btw.

Aside from the mix-up(no sweat btw) I agree with everything you said about Elton John. He has done a lot in the way of Charity, especially in regards to AIDS. He also wanted to adopt a little Ukrainian baby that was born with HIV, before he went the surrogacy route to have his first son Zach and now this newest baby. He wasn't allowed to adopt the child because of his sexual orientation. Part of the reason he went this route instead of adoption IS because HE TRIED, and they denied him. Another part in particular I agree with you on is the relevancy topic. He and Bernie Taupin have contributed many times over in regard to music and style, for anyone to call him irrelevant because he isn't big NOW(ya know, like those wonderful gems Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga) is like calling The Beatles irrelevant. It's just no..shut up, pull your head out of your ass, and sit the fuck down, because that is ignorance.
In regards to his parenting; people always wanna throw stones at others when they absolutely have no right to in this regard. There has been no report of Elton abusing his baby(ies) or reports that he is a bad parent yet. So why people feel the need to throw baseless shade is bullshit. I mean I'm gonna need to see some "Parent of the year" awards before someone can validate their bullshit.

I never said he cared. If he knew of my existence, and I don't care if he ever does, he would be just as critical of me. So I enjoy criticizing him for the hypothetical payback.
That said, I suspect even I have much more significance in the world than EJ does in 2013. Seriously, he's even more of a fossil than Vadge these days. There are pets that have more cultural significance than Elton John.

And why do you feel that if he knew of your existence he would give enough of a shit to analyze you? Do you honestly think Elton would give a shit? I mean got damn, how much of a paranoid narcissist are you that you feel that if Elton John knew you existed that he would take time out of his schedule to give a fuck enough to critize you?
Please, Not only is that batshit insanity , but that's your bullshit way of trying to condone your useless opinion of him. And even if Elton John isn't as popular as he was in the 70s, he is a legend in the music industry that is timeless, he also has done a lot for charities. And how in the fuck delusional do you have to be to think you are more relevant and significant than Elton John or even lindsay fucking lohan? I mean, are you serious? In all seriousness? Do you truly believe that you matter that much? Are you trolling, not well, or just on planet mars??? What makes you significant outside of family friends or even coworkers? or more so than him??? Please explain to me what you've contributed to society on a large scale? What charts have you topped? How many millions have you donated to charities? What diseases have you cured? I mean really? Who the fuck are you that you think you can run your fucking mouth and assume he or anyone who doesn't know you exist, but if you did, they would take that much time out of a day to give a shit? And how badly did you fuck up your life that that is the first reaction you think people will have to your life??? You are a fucking nobody. You more than likely will never hold a candle in the smallest manner to the magnitude which elton has contributed. Please sit down and get a fucking grip. I can't even continue with this back and forth, honey it is obvious you are either a troll or a bag of crazy and I try to limit my interaction with both. Have agood night.

I know my opinion doesn't hold any weight for them. But I'm sure the bitchy old queen EJ would gladly criticize me and my life choices too, and his opinions hold no weight for me either. So we're equal.
_______________________________
Why would he care enough about you to even go so far as to critize it. I mean no offense, but what significance do you hold to that degree? Also I highly doubt Elton John would give a shit even if you were a notable figure, Elton John's too busy being up his own ass and feuding with Madonna. With that being said, that still doesn't mean he doesn't have a right to have a child or that we should act like we're flies on the wall to the comings and goings in his life. Whether those kids are being cared for by Nannies or not, they're still gonna have a better life than the majority of the kids in the world today. So for that, I can't hate.

Yes, at times I think that would be a very good idea.
You haven't lived until you have heard Elvis' impression of Elton from way back when in the mid 1970s. He nailed it.
Chewy, I think it's very noble of you to say that given your circumstances, having kids would be more for you than the child. I don't think that's even true but you seem very selfless to me for thinking that way, and ironically would likely be an awesome mom.

Same here. He's gotten press for nothing in the past ten years except making bitchy catty comments… and producing surrogate-brewed babies. He's approaching reality-star levels of relevance.
Plus with his bitchiness, I hate to imagine what will happen when the kids are old enough to talk and have minds of their own. They won't be so precious then.
I could imagine someone like Ian McKellen or the late Sir John Gielgud being a good older gay dad, but not EJ.

"Voodoo is forgetting who's the john and who's the whore." MK, 3/20/12
Hello to Kisa and Whamo from the other side of the "bathtub" (Lake Ontario)!
I'm so over Reginald Dwight. Yeah he was great in the 70's and gave us some real classics, but he has just turned into another entitled, bitter old nasty queen. He bashed the rebulicans for years (Which I also love to do) but then turns up to fucking Rush Limbaughs birthday party to play an hour set, for a million bucks of course. When you make Stephanie Germanotta your kids godmother you are not looking out for the kid, just some way to be slightly relevant and relate to a younger dumber crowd. Who that fuck would make a coke snorting, drunk ,pot smoking, xanax popping fame whore your kids godmother? Throw a tantrum bitch.
PS. Dump the wig.
If they were both in their 20s, 30s, or early 40s, I would have nothing to say except Congratulations. I have no problem with people who love each other having a family, and hope that someday it would be legal for gay couples to get married and adopt. My problem is that Elton is 65. He would have to beat the odds just to make it another 20 years. The life expectancy for a British man born in 1947 is 64 years, and the average British man born in 1947 who survives to 65 is only expected to survive another 11 years. Just because they wanted kids doesn't mean they should be making irresponsible decisions. It is extremely against the odds that Elton will make it till the boys are in middle school, let alone high school graduation, college graduation or weddings. It's just a selfish decision and doesn't take into consideration the happiness and well being of the kids.

Why should a child with two gay parents automatically need therapy? Anyway, I live in hope that homophobia will be diminishing in the years that those two boys are growing up. Even if it does not in general then the society they will be mixing in doesn't see it as a problem and they won't have the same experience as a blue collar kid in the midwest might.
That is messed up. Maybe the two boys can receive a 2 for 1 discount on all the therapy they will need as adults.
To deliberately deprive a human being the chance to know half of his/hers origin is cruel.
And that goes for heterosexuals aswell of course.
The child will be fine for now. But I sincerely hope they will know who donated the eggs (the surrogate is of very little interest in terms of geenetics, as I believe they used donor eggs and surrogate, because then the birth mother will have no claims to the child)
