Elton John Reveals That Billy Joel Now 'Hates' Him

When Elton John's comments about Billy Joel's alcoholism came out in Rolling Stone's most recent cover story, Joel publicly claimed to be unbothered by them. "I've enjoyed our relationship too much to let something as random as these comments change my affection for him," Joel said in a statement. "Elton is just being Elton."

Elton John Gives Billy Joel 'Tough Love' In New Rolling Stone Cover Story

This morning on the Today Show, however, John revealed that privately Joel is furious. "He hates me at the moment," John said. "He sent me a message and he's not happy. I understand that. I'm sorry I had to say it, but I'm saying it because I really want Billy to live a long life and be very happy. That's all it came from. I understand why he's mad at me. I'm only trying to help. Maybe I should have done it privately, but I've been so frustrated over the years."

In Rolling Stone's story, John tells writer Austin Scaggs, "He's going to hate me for this, but every time he goes to rehab they've been light. When I went to rehab, I had to clean the floors. He goes to rehab where they have TVs. I love you, Billy, and this is tough love. Billy, you have your demons and you're not going to get rid of them at rehab light. You've got to be serious. People adore you, they love you and respect you. You should be able to do something better than what you're doing now."

I LOVED Elton John, and it's clear that he is the mother role. He was trying to adopt for a few years but couldnt get a child easily due to his age and other red tape. Thats when he decided to do a surrogate. I wish Dave would of asked him whos wad it was and who donated the egg. I guess that info is being kept secret for now. The birth mother isnt in the picture, they have a nanny. Drop off the baby and cash the check. Women who become surrogates are extraordinary, give birth and let the child go.

Leon Russell is a relic. He can barely walk on stage, but once he sat down at the piano he was in his element, Elton was fabulous singing and playing a duet.

I don't call that extraordinary. I call it aberrant. This is not natural behavior by any stretch of the imagination and I hope to God it is never considered to be something that is acceptable to any mother. Carrying a child and giving birth is the most sacred and holy of human experiences and it should never be irreparably tainted by the utter selfishness and self-entitlement of people like Elton john.

So a woman who becomes pregnant but doesn't want the child should keep it anyway. Because she is the birth mother? Keeping an unloved baby is better than giving it to someone who will love it? Because Elton John is not physically capable of having a baby means he is not emotionally capable of loving it?

Elton John bought a child. So have Madonna and Angelina Jolie. By your definition,the father of a baby can't love his child because it didn't come out of him.

Reply #57 - Feb 12^th, 2011 at 12:27pm Whatever the situation, Elton John's baby is going to be loved I'm sure, he will sure be better of then most babies financially, I'm not really for same sex couples adopting babies, but that's just me, I'm old fashioned.

OK maybe I stated that wrong. What I meant was to carry a child, give birth, and be able to give the child away is extraordinary. Its not easy, there is a physical and an emotional connection. To sever that tie takes an extraordinarily strong person. I know some people do it for the money. Others do it to bring joy into someone elses life, still accepting money. So how much is a life worth?

A bit presumptious. How does anyone know another persons motivation for having children.

Maybe true, but actually arent everyones reasons for having kids for personal gratification? What other reason is there? To re-populate the planet?

Yes.

Well in that case they can stop for a while. I think we're pretty well populated at this point.
