The rock star Elton John, 63, has decided to become a gay dad with his partner David Furnish.
He hired a surrogate mother, a 'gestation carrier' as it is known in the USA at
£10,000 a pop ('that's 1.67 per hour, as the owner of the womb balefully announced) for the sprog he has named Zachary.
Elton also 'revealed' his desire to found a museum to house his huge photo collection and personal memorabilia.
'I've always wanted to leave all the photographs to the nation, and the memorabilia at the same time, to create a museum where you see my life' said Elton, formerly known as Reg. Dwight. 'Instead of doing a biography or autobiography' he mused 'you see my life through objects and you get to see the wonderful photographs I've collected over the years.
I'd love to do that but you have to find the space and get it funded-it's quite complicated.'
Elton can't write pop
any more. He's decided
to pop one instead.
Dwight, decrepit,
pays gestation carrier
to Furnish a son.
Loaded has-been Dwight
wants the world to pay to view
his off-loaded crap.
