Gossip: Elton John
Elton John was certainly not expecting Madonna's song to beat his own in the competition for the Golden Globe Awards.
Elton John and husband David Furnish are no fans of Madonna, said the New York Daily News. Both John, 64, and Furnish, 49, ripped into the Material Girl this week after her song “Masterpiece” beat out John’s song “Hello, Hello” at the Golden Globe Awards. “Madonna doesn’t have a f---ing chance of winning,” John told a reporter prior to the awards ceremony. “Madonna. Best song???? F--- off,” Furnish wrote on his Facebook page after the award was announced. “Madonna winning truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism.”
