Elton John Jokes About Eyesight at Golden Globes, Calls Brandi Carlile Rihanna
CBS
Elton John says his eyesight’s fine … just ask his Golden Globe presenter Rihanna — or, is that Brandi Carlile?
The singer-songwriter took to the stage to present an award at Sunday night’s show … walking out with country music star Carlile — and, at first, he seems to get serious, saying he’s going to address all the reports about his eyesight.
Elton tells the crowd he’d like to talk about the persistent reports about his regressive eyesight … explaining the rumors are overblown and it’s not really as bad as it seems.
He then adds, “I’m so pleased to be here with my cohost, Rihanna.”
Of course, Brandi Carlile and Rihanna don’t look at all alike … and, the audience knows it — bursting out laughing at the crack.
As we reported … Elton announced he was recovering from a severe eye infection back in September — which had seriouslylimited his vision.
Months later, John told an audience in the UK he was unable to really see the premiere of the new “The Devil Wears Prada” musical. He also said in an interview he’s stuck — hoping to make a career comback, but he can’t because of his limited vision.

It looks like Elton’s ready to laugh about his blindness … even if he’s still navigating life with his new challenge.
Doug Gottlieb
Pulls a Bobby Knight
Throws Chair In Anger After Loss
Published
Doug Gottlieb went full Bobby Knight Thursday night after his University of Wisconsin-Green Bay squad blew an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter … tossing a chair as he made his way to the locker room.
Cameras in the arena caught the second-year head coach losing his cool in reaction to Robert Morris erasing a double-digit Phoenix lead in the final three minutes of play with a game-winning layup with 2.4 left on the clock.

Gottlieb disappeared behind the bleachers as he left … only for a chair to come flying into view and smack against the wall.
“I’m encouraged by our effort and our defense and how we executed,” Gottlieb said following the L. “That was just embarrassing how we lost the game.”

Folks on social couldn’t help but think about the late legend after watching Gottlieb’s antics.
While the former Indiana men’s basketball coach pulled his stunt during the middle of a game against Purdue in 1985, people couldn’t help but compare the two throws!
The university will have a few extra days to find a new chair … as the team returns to action this Sunday against the Wright State Raiders.
Brooke Mueller
Charlie Sheen Owes me $15 Million …
And I Want it ASAP!!!
Published
Charlie Sheen‘s ex-wife Brooke Mueller is banging down his door, ready to collect on the huge bill — about $15 million — she claims he owes her for unpaid child support.
Brooke informed an L.A. County judge she wants Charlie to cough up the money ASAP. In docs filed Thursday, and obtained by TMZ, she says the ex “Two and a Half Men” star owes her $8,967,600 in child support plus another $6,418,643 in accrued interest.
And, the kicker … mama wants it paid in full in 30 days!
Brooke explains Charlie was ordered to pay her $55,000 per month in child support in April 2010, and there were no issues until July 2011 … when he started sending either partial payments or failed to make any payments at all. So, she wants the court to make him pay what she’s rightfully owed, plus $25,000 in attorney fees and costs.
Charlie and Brooke were married between 2008 and 2011 and share 16-year-old twin sons.
TMZ has reached out to Charlie’s attorney for comment … so far, no word back.
Brooke recently opened up about her home life as she struggles with drug addiction, telling People in March the situation is “unfair” for her kids and that they understand “Mommy is going to relapse again one day.”
