Today In WTF: Timbaland & Elton John & The Hives

And you thought Timbaland's upcoming collaboration with Bjork was bizarre! Turns out the beatstro (do we like that term? I can use it regularly if you so desire) will have a slew of guest stars on his upcoming album, out March 27th.

Billboard hints at some of those guest stars: Justin T, Nelly F, Jay Z, Snoop, MIA, Fall Out Boy, The Hives, Elton John. WTF, right? That Hives/Tim track could really be incredible, if done properly. Tim and Elton, I don't know what to think....

If the Elton/Tim track becomes a Billboard #1 single, I'll be double damned!!

Oh, She Wants Revenge is on the album as well. I guess Interpol was booked.

(although the accompanying photo features Beck and Timbaland in the studio, we have no news that Mr. Hansen will make an apperance on the LP, but it wouldn't shock me in the slightest)

Robbie To Strip For Elton!

Can you imagine a better 60th birthday gift?

Yes, so can I.

Via Digital Spy: Robbie Williams has agreed to perform the Full Monty at Elton John's 60th birthday party. Sir Elton has been arranging a huge bash at Madison Square Garden in New York to celebrate his big day in March and was thrilled when Robbie came up with the stripping idea.....

Elton and Robbie have had their disagreements over the years. But they are best pals again now. And they always try to outdo each other when it comes to presents. Robbie knows this is one gift Elton will have difficulty living up to. But the pair love to shock each other so Elton will already be cooking up something bizarre for Robbie's birthday next month."

Guess Who Kasabian Hates Now

Elton John!

These boys really have to learn about biting their tongues! The Brats Brits, in a new interview, lashed out at Sir Elton declaring him 'a fat man in a tracksuit' and later agreed with Noel Gallagher who declared that John was 'an absolute twat.' Nice, guys.

They further went on to say that 'anything that comes out of Noel's mouth is absolute genius. Noel is the last man you want to start with. He's so quick he can destroy anyone. Elton John should watch out.'

Um, for a band that was virtually unknown 2 years ago, and with only 2 albums under their belt, they have no right saying anything about Elton John. Thumbs down, Kasabian! In the words of James Murphy, I love you, but you're bringing me down!
