Elton John Wants Superman

Elton must have heard about the rumor during the Superman Return's shoots... you know about Kevin Spacey and Brandon Routh and the director thus he wants to get into the action too...LOL

Anyways, Sir Elton John's charitable attempts to buy a part in the next Superman film were foiled yesterday.

The singer bid £40,000 at a fundraising event for the Old Vic theatre in London yesterday, but was outbid by a fellow knight - British businessman Sir Philip Green. It is believed that Green's wife will take the part.

Other auctions included a dinner date with heiress socialite Paris Hilton, which was snapped up for £30,000. The Old Vic's artistic director Kevin Spacey hailed the event as a "really valuable contribution to our work at the theatre".
