David Furnish tries to defuse Madonna feud
It cracks me up when celebrities do something outrageous that gets a lot of attention then blame the media for blowing it up out of proportion.
I’m talking about the absolutely silly feud that erupted between Elton John, his hubby David Furnish and Madonna at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.
After Madonna won the best original song Globe over Elton for best original song, Furnish wrote on Facebook: ‘Madonna. Best song???? Fuck off!!!
He added: “Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit,” Furnish wrote on his Facebook page. “Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is.”
And before the show, Elton said to a television interviewer: ‘Mary J [Blige] might win it for “The Help”. Madonna doesn’t have a fucking chance.’
Now Furnish is trying to make peace.
He took to Facebook on Thursday and posted this message: “Wow! What a tempest in a teapot. My comments regarding The Golden Globes have been blown way out of proportion. My passion for our film ‘Gnomeo & Juliet’ and belief in Elton’s song really got my emotional juices going. But I must say for the record that I do believe Madonna is a great artist, and that Elton and I wish her all the best for next week’s premiere of the film ‘W.E.'”
Nice of him to try and make peace. I just don’t see this trio hanging out together anytime soon!

Possibly a case of tweedledum and tweedledummer?
