Lady Gaga Confirmed as the Godmother of Elton John's Son

comments: 1 The son of Elton John now has an unlikely godmother - Lady Gaga. The little boy was born in December, and the identity of his godmother had been kept secret until just recently. When Elton John appeared on Saturday Night Live this weekend, he let the cat out of the bag.
According to Pop Eater, he said the following during the broadcast: "For those of you concerned that we are unusual parents, don't worry. It's not like we are the only two people involved in the child's life. His godmother is Lady Gaga. That is true. It's not a joke. Lady Gaga is his actual godmother, which is ironic, because I've always said that Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. And Gaga loves Mars. She says Mars has good schools and great discos."
Little Zachary certainly has a mix of people around him. Some might say an odd mix even, but there is nothing wrong with that. What is most important in the life of a child is love, and it certainly looks like Zachary has that around him with Elton John, David Furnish, and the addition of Lady Gaga in his life. Would you want Lady Gaga to be the godmother of your child though?

n his opening monologue (which you can watch above) John said, “For those of you concerned that we are unusual parents, don’t worry, it’s not like we are the only two people involved in the child’s life. His godmother is Lady Gaga. That is true. It’s not a joke. Lady Gaga is his actual godmother, which is ironic, because I’ve always said that Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids. And Gaga loves Mars. She says Mars has good schools and great discos.”
It left a few of us scratching our heads, but Elton’s long time partner David Furnish confirmed Zachary’s god-mama’s identity, “She’s all about inclusiveness and tolerance. She believes that you can be whoever you want to be and that we don’t have to live in a world of conformity and that we can all [benefit] from individuality. That’s the best message in the world. The freedom to be who you are, do what you want and love who you want to love.”
Can you imagine holidays with Lady Gaga and Elton John? That is going to be one fashion forward toddler!
Whether Elton John aimed to appeal to a new demographic or simply wanted to cross “host SNL” off his bucket list, it was clear from the beginning of the show that he would be a charming, committed host.

Elton John on SNL -- He was a charming, committed host. It’s hard to believe that John, who has sold over 250 million records, has never served as SNL’s host and musical guest before. In fact, he only appeared on the show once before, as the musical guest in 1982, with host Johnny Cash. Now, however, John has joined the ranks of such performers as Ray Charles, Garth Brooks and Britney Spears, as artists who have pulled a double duty on the late night staple.
Whether John aimed to appeal to a new demographic or simply wanted to cross “host SNL” off his bucket list, it was clear from the beginning of the show that he would be a charming, committed host. He delivered his monologue, which commonly drew laughs from his past drug use and pampered lifestyle, with the good-natured air of “laugh at me now, but at the end of the day, I’m still Elton John.” As he finished his opening, he promised a fun night and a great show. Unfortunately, what followed was an uneven program that may have had elements of fun, but certainly wasn’t great.
However, the show’s flaws seemed to lie within lazy, tired writing – not John himself. In the first half of the show, John was often overshadowed by surprise guests Carmelo Anthony and Tom Hanks (Hanks appeared in the digital short and two sketches – one of which didn’t even include John). Half of the sketches featured John playing himself, which enabled him to deadpan a few catty comments that felt both natural and organic, but kept his appearances fairly one-note. The other half of the show had John playing flamboyant characters, such as a gay movie critic who spent half the time kissing his partner (newcomer Taran Killam) and a unicorn-riding, turquoise outfit-wearing cowboy. For a host as game as John appeared, it was disappointing that the writers felt the need to rely on stale, obvious material.
Elton John as a cowboy on SNLPerhaps most importantly, by allowing his music to be featured on the show, John has exposed a new generation to his music, and undoubtedly picked up a few more fans. Though John did not perform on the Los Angeles-based Idol, most likely because he was busy rehearsing in New York for SNL, he told Jimmy Fallon last week that he was happy with the talent competition’s theme, stating it is always a compliment when artists cover his work.
By taking over the tube this week, John proved that he is charming and witty, and most of all, still relevant, which is impressive given his first appeared on The Andy Williams Show in 1971. It’s hard not to look forward to the next time John makes his way around the networks, though hopefully he’ll have better material with which he can work.
John’s latest album, The Union, was released in October of last year. While John’s tour will only be stopping in 12 U.S. cities, he will be swinging through the Northeast, playing in Rochester, New York on April 23.

He told you so on Saturday. How come none of you believed him???
On
In fact, David pretty much confirmed not too long ago in an interview that she would be. Does no one remember this? Ugh! Alright, we'll refresh your memory! He told sources:
"She's all about inclusiveness and tolerance. She believes that you can be whoever you want to be and that we don't have to live in a world of conformity and that we can all [benefit] from individuality. That's the best message in the world. The freedom to be who you are, do what you want and love who you want to love."Now, why wouldn't you want a person like that as your kid's godmother! C'mon!
Our heartiest congrats to GaGaloo for the esteemed honor and to Elton and David for making a fine choice. Zac is a very lucky little boy! So much love and light in his life!
