BILLY ELLIOT - ELTON JOHN SWEARS ON LIVE TV

Sir Elton John shocked millions of British TV viewers tonight (09MAY06), by using the word "w**ker" in front of children during a live appearance on Channel 4's THE NEW PAUL O'GRADY SHOW. The rocker was on the show with three young actors from BILLY ELLIOT - his London stage show. When one asked if he had a middle name, John responded, "Hercules. I changed my name from Kenneth Reginald Dwight, which sounds like a banker, or a w**ker."
