I think that’s exactly why he’s a millionaire, he always has his hand where there’s money. It’s all about business. I personally don’t buy any celebrity line, but plenty of people do.

How is it different from Kathy Hilton, who is also a gazillionaire selling stuff on Q.

Slatkin & Elton John can collaborate & sell all the candles they want,..no one should be limited by others who think they already have enough money. Best Wishes to both businessmen, every worker who get the candles to market, the retailers & the buyers who enjoy them.

@JJK1954 have you considered how many jobs were created to get these candles out in the public? For that reason alone this is worth it. I do not care how much money you have creating a business benefits many.

how is this new?

why the outrage of this person doing something that has been done by countless for as long as i can remember

and specific to EJ.......

the amount of money, time and talent this man has donated over his career is massive

it is probaby wise to do a bit of research before you spew unkindness

I read a portion of the proceeds from his candle sales go to the Elton John Aids Foundation.

The sale of his candles supports his charity, which is an AIDS Foundation.

Not tacky; classy.

No different than Martha Stewart selling kitchen towels and oven mitts.

The difference is that Elton John actually has talent. Kathy Hilton married her income. It was the same as when Cher, an Oscar winner, starting peddling hair products on infomercials.

Celebrities, wealthy or both lines don't bother me. You can choose to buy or choose to boycott.

@JJK1954. You must have been gone for awhile. This is nothing new. So-called celebrities are popping up all over QVC.

They've got Kathy Hilton dressed as Mrs. Santa running around acting like a madwoman. Do you. think she needs money? Some of us wonder why she's there.

It looks like Kathy Hilton thinks of herself as another Martha Stewart. When she was on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills she considered herself a professional hostess. She seemed to know everything about planning and giving social events.

Maybe the next " big thing " is the Real Hosewives brand of gaudy fake stones

Personally I feel it would be tacky if he didn't donate proceeds to charities. I have no idea why Kathy Hilton is there.

@Kachina624

I agree with you 100%.

Agree, EJ is about music not stuff! Kathy Hilton is a miss as well.

I have just finished reading an article stating that Elton John lost his sight in his right eye and is partially blind in his left eye. He said he contracted an infection last year when he was in France. The infection made him lose his eyesight. Prayers to him and his family.
