Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were recently wed in a very well-publicized ceremony in Beverly Hills. After that, DeGeneres took to her blog to decry California's Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment that would eliminate same sex couples' right to marry and could possibly nullify all the gay marriages that came before it.
Yet despite all the good she's done for gay rights in California, there's rumbling coming from other Proposition 8 opponents who say DeGeneres needs to contribute more. Specifically, Ellen has yet to send a big, fat check to the cause, and insiders say that that omission has the potential to hurt both Ellen and Prop 8 in the long run.

Elton John and a drunken, slurring Lily Allen got into it big time at a GQ awards show in London last night — and, as you can imagine, Elton made Lily look like a drunken fool.
Two sick, horrible bastards in Britain are skeeving everybody out by showing up to major events without faces. First it was Elton John's White Ball, then the Harrod's sale and then Wimbledon. Where their eyes and noses and mouths should be, there's some sort of contoured pink latex, which magically allows them to both see and breathe freely. It's a hell of a trick. Then again, there's always the possibility that they're real demons, like those that haunted our nightmares for weeks after our parents let us watch Jacob's Ladder at far too young an age.
Click here to see the creeps, and after the jump find two clips of one of the most disturbing films ever: Jacob's Ladder.

Perhaps famous liar Sharon Stone should take "paws" before choosing what to wear to events these days. The angry vegans at PETA are once again enraged with the Basic Instinct flasher and notorious fur lover, who showed to Elton John's Oscar party last night wearing a brooch made of a rat's foot.
Besides being ethically repulsive the brooch is also visually unappealing, but Stone says it's supposed to bring her good luck, meaning she's gross and desperate.
After the jump, a couple more pictures and the truth behind "lucky" furs.

A few weeks ago, Page Six warned sashaying fashionistas everywhere that the tents canopying Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week would play host to fewer fabulous guests this year. While the news certainly came too late for flustered, coked-up event planners to pare champagne orders, it gave us an ample amount of time to fix a cheese plate, pour a glass of red and prepare to ogle the wreckage of the most poorly attended Fashion Week ever. That said, where is everyone?
Last night, everyone was at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London. After the jump, many pictures of them wisely not caring about Fashion Week.

• Elton John at the bondage fest. What kind of glasses go with crotchless hot pants and a ball gag? [Queerty]
Elton John threw a lavish 60th birthday bash for himself last night, and all the grand Anglicans came out to celebrate. Guests included Hugh Grant, Sting, Paul McCartney, Daniel Craig, Kate Moss, the Osbournes and the ever radiant Thandie Newton.
For some reason, Elton and partner David Furnish opted to wear full military garb; questionable judgment during wartime. But, immediately winning the classless war was TMZ who, when covering the event, chose to run the headline, "Elton's Rear Admiral."
How 'bout that for your 60th, Elton? A nice, concrete reminder that, even after six decades of life and countless career successes, someone will always be around to make fun of you for being gay.

I couple of days ago I read that Elton John made a comment along the lines of "All photographers should be shot." I naturally assumed he was referring to crazy paparazzi following him around and invading his privacy, but when I found this video I saw that he really just said this during the Chopard Trophy award ceremony at Cannes, and to the photographers faces. What would he rather? That there be no photographers at this event? I doubt it. Well, at least he's lighthearted about wishing bodily harm on the very people who are giving him publicity.
