[MadJack]

(AP) LOS ANGELES - Sir Elton John is holding close a new tiny dancer.

The piano man and husband David Furnish have become parents to a 7-pound, 15-ounce baby boy born on Christmas Day. The news was first reported Monday night by USMagazine.com and confirmed to The Associated Press by John's Los Angeles-based publicist.

Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born in California via a surrogate, whose identity is being protected by the new parents.

Zachary is the 62-year-old John's first child with the 48-year-old Furnish. The couple married in 2005.

In a joint statement, the new parents told USMagazine.com that "Zachary is healthy and doing well" and they are "overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment."

Good thing they have enough money for hired help.

Chasing a baby around at 48 & 62 can't be fun. I can't imagine how tired I would be doing what I do now with 12 more years on me.

On a positive the child will be raised with the best available to him. It's never to late to be a father.

Good for them.

While I support rights of homosexuals, and would never support restricting their rights to adopt, I am not a fan of gay adoption. Seems to me that the child with 2 dads or 2 moms would likely be subjected to bullying, teasing, etc, at a time when they are most vulnerable to this type of criticism.

not if you were in line to inherit 1 billion in about
20 years.

That buys alot of protection from what normal kids would go through.

I am not a fan of old-people adoption, or child rearing. When he is 75 is Elton really going to be able to toss the dildo around the yard with little Levon? That's my problem with it.

Teasing and the reasons for it are so fickle. I am not sure an abstract potential for a slightly higher teasing quotient compared to the shit kids already subject each other to is much of a reason to discourage adoption.

Plus the whole celebrity adoption thing always kinda stinks of narcissism.
