Battle Of The Divas: George Michael Trashes Elton John
gotta love it!

http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/12/121404elton.htm

Singer George Michael has written to a British celebrity magazine to rebuke Elton John for making unflattering comments about his personal life.

In an open letter to Heat magazine, released Tuesday, Michael accused John of spreading unsubstantiated gossip picked up on the "gay grapevine." In comments published last month, John, 57, told Heat that "George is in a strange place. There seems to be a deep-rooted unhappiness in his life and it shows on the (latest) album. All I would say to George is: you should get out more."
In the letter, Michael, whose latest album, Patience, topped the British charts, said he had "rarely been as happy and confident as I am today, thanks to my partner Kenny (Goss) and the continued support of my fans."

1. Why are Elton's knickers in a twist?
He seems to me mouthing off a lot lately without provocation.

2. Menopause?
Kidding! No flames please! I love Elton John!
But yes, Sir John has been pretty prickly lately - wassup Elton?

3. LOL! Exactly.
The man is a musical genius, but what's with all the unsolicited and unprovoked attacks?

4. With the world full of hateful creeps like E. John, it's no wonder that

G. Michael decides NOT to "get out more".

Ever think of that, Eltie?

You've got good music, but I have no qualms with arguing with a fellow gay over ideology. And you, Sir, are a prick. George may or may not have problems, but your attitude only exacerbates them and resolves none of them. So bugger off.

And, yes, I am aware of the irony. But I'm special and you started it with your pomposity. So nyah nyah nyah-nyah-nyah! :P :D

7. Funny, I'm the opposite.
I can't stand his music (post 1976), but I think he's hilarious.

5. What's with him lately?
He needs to check his meds. Seriously.

6. Naw, he just needs to get laid, OR
come to the realization that he's not as important as he thinks he is!

8. George Michael's latest album is excellent!!! It was almost enough to
make me forgive him for not marrying me back in the 80's. ;) :hi:
