Elton John, or Sir Elton John, hosted Saturday Night Live last night and he was not so bad. Basically he was better than Miley Cyrus, though that is not hard to do. He made fun of himself and he confirmed that Lady Gaga was the godmother of his new son. Tom Hanks even joined in for a couple of skits along with Carmelo Anthony, what an interesting combo. Of course there were gay jokes. Actually there were a lot of gay jokes which bordered on the line of offense and unoriginal. But of course what else were they going to do and Elton was okay with them so eh. All in all Elton did just well enough to receive a Digit Up.
Sad news this morning, Dame Elizabeth Taylor has passed away at the age of 79. She died this morning in Los Angeles of congestive heart failure. She had been in the hospital for 6 weeks, but recently her children said she was doing better and feeling better, so much so that they were planning on bringing her home soon. For everything she was on screen she was even more off screen. A mother to 4 children, a grandmother to 10 grandchildren and a great-grandmother to 4. A wife, 8 times over to 7 men. A brand, possibly one of the 1st actresses to brand herself, we all have heard of White Diamond, my mom still loves it. She was a great philanthropist, known around the world for her AIDS work, even starting the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1991. Many things will be said about her, 90% good. She was a friend to many, a hero to others and a trailblazer for every actress today. She was the 1st actress to be paid $1 million for a film, Cleopatra. he was nominated for 5 Oscars, she won 2, and she won a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. From 12 to now she was in the spotlight and she carried herself as a lady should, with poise and civility. Maybe Sir Elton John summed it up best when he said, “We have just lost a Hollywood giant; more importantly, we have lost an incredible human being.” This is news gets 2 Digits Down.
