Elton's Shouting Match

ELTON JOHN was involved in a shouting match with photographers during his appearance in Taiwan yesterday. The photographers mobbed him at the airport, and Elton swore at them and called them, quote, "Rude, vile pigs." Elton was reportedly scheduled to leave Taiwan after his show there last night.

The women of Apex Corp on "The Apprentice" conspired to get Stacie J. fired last night and it worked. Stacie's display of erratic behavior in the first episode came back to haunt her as she did nothing wrong on last night's show. But because her teammates perceived her as crazy, project manager Elizabeth kept Stacie in the boardroom, along with Maria -- who was single-handedly responsible for Apex losing the challenge. But both Maria and Elizabeth turned on Stacie -- telling Donald Trump that she was crazy. The Donald demanded that the rest of the team come back to the boardroom to back-up that charge...and they did. While Stacie tried to defend herself, Trump wasn't convinced.

Week two of "Survivor: Vanuatu" belonged to the guys. After their humiliating loss in week one, the men won the immunity challenge -- which was actually the first time they won any challenge.

Looks like spending all that time with the girls really affected CYNTHIA NIXON. A NY source is saying that the Sex and the City star has taken on a ladylove. She apparently is so taken with this unidentified woman that she rushed back to New York Monday to celebrate her Emmy win with her. The source said that Cynthia -- who has two children by her junior high school sweetheart, photographer DANNY MOZES -- is comfortable with her sexuality and, quote, "has nothing to hide. She is simply living her life." Her rep wouldn't return calls.
