Elton John Wants to Sue Newspaper

July 9th, 2008

The British press are at it again, poking fun at poor Sir Elton John. On this go round, they’re making fun of his annual White Tie and Tiara Ball. The singer was upset at a spoof article which appeared in The Guardian implying that the overheads from the event were “excessive”.

This isn’t the first time Elton has pursued legal action against the British press. In 2006, he successfully sued The Daily Mail for claiming that he ordered guests at his charity soiree in 2005 not to approach him.

One would think that the press in the UK would have better things to do than make fun of Elton’s fund- raising efforts. Apparently, he’s very sensitive to those kind of things, and they have been sued before, so they should just lay off. BTW, this year’s ball raised a record $20 million for the Elton John Aids Foundation.

Way to go, Sir Elton.
