Elton John...Hosts Saturday Night Live tonight! Leon Russell album collaboration!
When Elton John strolled onto the stage of the Jimmy Fallon show the other night, the reaction from the adoring audience - totally in awe - was heartfelt.
Within minutes of alighting on the podium, fans and guests alike, were on their feet stomping and hollering.
And on the heels of the outpouring of love, there was a standing ovation!
After all, it's not often that a common "Joe" or two - even a quirky talk-show host - weasle their way into the presence of a musical legend like the great Elton John.
In spite all the in-your-face attention, Mr. John (!) was pretty low-key in the aftermath.
And, the celebrated Brit didn't look half-bad in his advancing years, either.
Sir Elton sported a chic well-tailored black suit, which was teamed with an ultramarine dress shirt (open at the collar), with no bling to speak of.
At one point, he treated the audience to an impromptu performance of - "Your Song" - after Fallon determined that was a "favorite" tune he wished he had recorded years ago.
Speaking of albums, Elton is currently in the throes of releasing his 13th LP, which features Leon Russell and T. Bone Burnett (at the helm?).
The collaboration with Russell should come as no surprise to die-hard fans familiar with El's roots (which go way back in the industry).
"The first night I performed in Los Angeles Leon was in the 2nd or third row. I spotted him right away and was nervous. Would he like my material," he wondered to himself.
In fact, the long-haired musical genius was so impressed with Elton, that he took him under his wing and back to New York to perform at the Fillmore, where he was summarily introduced to Bob Dylan.
"Everyone was so great to me when I first arrived in America," the aging Lothario with an eye for good-looking studs fondly recalled.
When Fallon asked how he felt about GLEE featuring his songs on their hit show this past week, he was quick on the uptake, too.
"It is so flattering when people play your music. I even get excited when I step into an elevator and hear a piece of musak featuring one of my hits."
And, he had a message for up-and-coming bands, who pooh-poohed the notion of having their music showcased on a top-rated comedy-drama like GLEE.
"Lighten up, you as**holes," he screamed at the viewing audience at home, as the audience roared in approval below the footlights.
Is El slowing down a tad?
Just maybe; after all, he confided that he is not one to traipse around town to all the exclusive parties or even try to make "the scene".
"I prefer to stay at home with David (his male lover) and the boys."
Hold on a minute, your naughty folks.
When he says "boys" - the hit-maker doesn't mean "toy-boys" - at all.
No, Sir.
Of course, he is referring to his two adopted sons.
By the way, tonight Sir Elton will be hosting Saturday Night Live, in addition to being the musical guest.
If the promos previewing this past week are any indication, I expect folks should tune in.
The late-night off-the-wall comedy variety show is bound to be a hoot with Elton at the helm!
And, keep your eye out for the documentary on Elton, lensed by Cameron Crowe.
Cheers!

Britney Spears...San Francisco Concert! Castro shopkeepers complain!
When news broke that Britney Spears was slated to appear at an outdoor concert for free in the Castro District all the residents of the trendy community were ecstatic!
In spite of the obvious coupe for the City by the Bay - a handful of retailers in the area - complained that a swarm of concert-goers would overwhelm the streets, cause traffic jams, and clog a pathway to their front doors.
Imagine that!
What an absurd selfish notion!
In fact - Good Morning America (who is hosting the free event) - not only intends to broadcast the taped performance on March 29th, but also feature a jazzy "travelogue" (with the specific aim of boosting tourism in the picturesque European-style destination city).
Before all the "star dust" settles, there will be an avalanche of National exposure - not only for the LGBT community - but also for the delightful town with a truckload of charms to offer the savvy world traveller.
Scott Wiener (District 8 Supervisor) gushed to local reporters that it was thrilling day for the Castro District (in spite of the whining of the party-poopers).
"It will bring out a lot of traffic that day. It is a great promotion for San Francisco," he chirped, excitedly.
Indeed!
Unfortunately, due to alleged security issues, the concert was moved to the Civic Center.
The ABC special event will tape tomorrow, Sunday March 27th (between 12 noon and 1 p.m.), and broadcast on Tuesday, March 29th (2011).
The concert has been timed to be air in tandem with Britney's new sizzling-hot album "Femme Fatale".
See 'ya there!
Britney loves Castro District!
(But, not enough)

PhoboQuotable - Victoria Jackson
"This new al-Qaida magazine for women has beauty tips and suicide-bomber tips! Gimme a break! That is as ridiculous as two men kissing on the mouth! And I don't care what is politically correct. Everyone knows that two men on a wedding cake is a comedy skit, not an 'alternate lifestyle'! There I said it! Ridiculous! Did you see Glee this week? Sickening! And, besides shoving the gay thing down our throats, they made a mockery of Christians – again! I wonder what their agenda is? Hey, producers of Glee – what's your agenda? One-way tolerance?" - Former Saturday Night Live cast member and Tea Party hero Victoria Jackson, in a rambling, deranged piece for World Net Daily.(Via - Good As You)

Glee...racy scenes with nudity cause uproar! Parental guidance?
An uproar erupted this past week when racy images - featuring naked nubile young flesh and binge-drinking - spewed out over the broadcast airwaves in a promo promoting an upcoming episode of the popular night-time hit GLEE.
Has the ground-breaking bill-of-fare gone too far in its bid to snare ratings during the family hour?
Tune in tonight - and take a gander at the smutty material that may be corrupting the youth of today - according to a posse of critics.
Parental guidance suggested!

Gay Culture Watch: Glee Airs In Cuba
Dubbed or subtitled episodes of Glee routinely air in Latin America, but in what some say signals the continuing expansion of respect and rights in Cuba, a state-run television channel has now added the show. Over at Blabbeando, Andres Duque translates one local review:
What draws our attention is how the series treats the case of Kurt, an extremely effeminate gay, who showcases the most divine of extravagant fashions and even reaches the tone of a soprano when singing. With his 'bothersome' look (to those who are the most homophobic), he proudly confronts his way of being, and challenges the world with his amply demonstrated talents and virtues, even in the harsh game of football. His father, an apparently dumb mechanic, gives us a masterclass in sensitivity and humanity in defending his son against any discriminatory attempts based on his physical appearance, his mannerisms or his sexual orientation.Whether you're a fan of the show or not, its unprecedented positive effect cannot be denied.
For all these lessons that reach the viewer in a fresh and entertaining way and which do so much good when exposed to society, let "Glee" be welcome on the Cuban screens. Although it's a shame that it has to be a foreign series - and from the United States to top it all off - that brings clear and powerful messages in regards to diversity. How much longer do we have to wait for these type of messages, but "made in Cuba?"
