Someone please send Sir Elton John a bottle of perfume and a tiara. Everybody’s favorite Brit has just joined the list of people who aren’t buying Don Imus’ “Rappers Give Us The Right To Be Racist” defense. He’d have had a better shot claiming to be senile.

Elton performed at The Women’s Sports Foundation at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Wednesday night and dedicated the song “Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word” to the players of the Rutgers University women’s basketball team.

On Wednesday, Imus was fired by MSNBC, which simulcasts his radio show, for his racially charged remarks. (CBS Radio, which syndicates the program, so far has kept him on the payroll….Dumbasses.)

John told the crowd from the stage, “I don’t want to open my big mouth because I have a big mouth and it gets me in trouble sometimes, but I dedicate this next song to the Rutgers University players.”

When he finished singing the crowd jumped to their feet and gave Elton a standing ovation. John then told the crowd, “I think he [Imus] should step down immediately.”
