That new film about ELTON JOHN, "Rocketman," will reportedly be rated "R" for sex, drugs and rock-and-roll. The Hollywood Reporter says the film will include "an intimate love scene" between TARON EGERTON, who plays Elton. and RICHARD MADDEN, who plays John's former manager and lover, John Reid. There's also some cocaine snorting, several instances of the F-word and more.
Elton and Taron performed a duet on "Tiny Dancer" at the annual Academy Awards viewing party held in support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, with Elton on piano and Taron on vocals. See it on YouTube HERE.LEGO is releasing a "Steamboat Willie" set on April first.
