Here is a article about Elton John's new baby. My recommendation is to not read the comments from people. There are a lot of mean comments there. Cute baby though.

Elton John's music forms the soundtrack for the new Disney movie, "Gnomeo and Juliet," an off-beat retelling of Shakespeare's classic story.

Blue garden gnome Gnomeo and red-hued ceramic beauty Juliet meet outside their walls one night, and can’t help but develop a mutual fondness for each other. They try to keep their forbidden friendship secret but inevitably are discovered by their clans, setting off a chain of events that threatens to destroy both gardens. Yep, there’s a subtle political message about tolerance and making peace with your enemy, which suits John just fine.

James McAvoy has offered to play Elton at 31 in the upcoming biopic. If so, this is looking better all the time!

I don't often watch SNL, but in this case, I think I will make an effort.
