Oh, Daddy!

Sir Russ Smith on the British press and on Rod Liddle's take on Elton John -- and, oh yeah, slebutards adopting homeless waifs.

"Sir Elton has made his bed, a very comfortable bed, and he should lie in it. It is no use suddenly deciding at the age of 63 that he has missed out; children are time-consuming, they demand sacrifice, the stuff he was not prepared to give [earlier in his life]. There are plenty of other things he can have to keep himself cheerful, anyway. Not so long ago, he was seen trying a very expensive Tom Ford fragrance, 'orchid voile de fleur,' which had the subtle aroma—the critics said—of a man's crotch. I do not know which man's crotch: hopefully for Elton's sake, not mine."

It's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back, ain't it.
