And coming soon to the pop courts - Elton John v Daily Mail. Representatives of Elton yesterday confirmed the singer is suing the Mail over allegations they made that guests at his charity White Tie And Tiara Ball were told they were not allowed to approach him unless summoned. The singer's spokesman says the allegations, which were also published in the Times (who also face litigation), were "categorically untrue". The spokesman continued: "Anyone who knows Elton or who has been to the ball knows that he greets everyone as they arrive, works the room and talks to every table". The lawsuit will claim that the story affects both Elton's personal image, and the reputation of his AIDS Foundation, which the event was held to support. As yet neither the Mail or Times have responded.
