Elton John created a head-scratching moment this week when he performed at the wedding of conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, said E! Online. The 63-year-old singer, an outspoken gay-rights advocate, reportedly put politics aside for a $1 million appearance fee, playing his hits for a crowd of 400 conservative heavy hitters that included Karl Rove and Fox News commentator Sean Hannity.
