I'm feeling like the Russian Orthodox Church could use some help from Elton John.

1) I love this Elton & Madge feud because he doesn't seem to understand that he's just drawing more attention to her and giving the impression, to someone who doesn't ow much about his career at least, that she's somehow on his level.

I dunno, he lacks self-awareness in that classic douche way and while whoa, love his body, he has a straight-up mean-looking face. While he deserves to be proud of his accomplishments, I think he takes himself way too seriously outside of the pool.
