David Furnish Clarifies Madonna Remarks
We reported on the remarks David Furnish (Elton John’s spouse) made about Madonna’s Golden Globes win. Now, Furnish has clarified his remarks on Facebook. He said:
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.”.

Loading ...Elton John’s Husband David Furnish Disses Madonna’s Globe Win
David Furnish, Elton John’s husband, let off some steam on Facebook after Madonna bested Elton John at the Golden Globes, winning the award for best song. Madonna’s “Masterpiece” from W.E. beat Elton John’s “Hello Hello” from Gnomeo & Juliet. Furnish said:
Madonna. Best song???? Fuck off!!!!
Thanks for all your supportive comments and support. Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it’s [sic.] narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is.
TMZ reports that “Elton seemed particularly bitter towards Madonna before the awards … telling one reporter [Carson Daly] on the red carpet he believed Madge had no “f**kin’ chance” of emerging victorious.” Video below:
The award in question, for what it’s worth, was presented to Madonna by Adam Levine and Bradley Cooper. Yum.
