We’re always interested in who pals around with Elton John – we were surprised to learn about his drug counseling friendship with Eminem. Elton performed in Honolulu last weekend and Kanye West was seen hanging out in Elton’s dressing room backstage. According to a witness, Kanye was nonchalantly devouring fried chicken and smoking Newports, and Elton was visibly recoiling from the smell of the food and cigarettes, but he was “too polite to say anything.”

Guests at the luxurious Kahala Hotel in Honolulu are not ENJOYING the sight of Heidi Klum frolicking on the beach – they’re COMPLAINING about her! Heidi and Seal and their kids are making a huge production out of their stay at the fancy hotel. When the family is on the beach they have two obvious bodyguards with earpieces and fanny packs, patrolling the sand. If an innocent Japanese tourist picks up his camera to take a picture, the guards pounce and accuse him of trying to sneak photos of Heidi. The wealthy hotel guests are insulted and angry. Both Eminem and Gwen Stefani were recent visitors at the same hotel with NO fanfare and NO bodyguards.

There’s an awful lot of Julia Roberts bashing going on, but we still like her. She and Danny are vacationing in Hawaii and in these photos, she kissed him before he went surfing on his own. Julia stayed on the beach and kept an eye on their three kids. There were no nannies in sight – we’re betting she’s a very involved mom.

London’s Daily Mail featured this photo of celebrities having fun in Hawaii. There was an abundance of actors vacationing at the same time and they got together and rented a boat for a day. Sacha Baron Cohen is up front in the black shirt and white shorts, and you can see who the others are. Apparently Leo delighted in launching himself off the back of the boat and Tobey Maguire had a long conversation with Sacha.
