...ok..my 2 cents...Elton is an idiot....before I start my venting, let me state for the record..I pretty much dont give a damn about most issues..be it race, sex, sexual preference, political views, etc..that being said....This is the same guy that preformed with Eminem, who we all know has issues with gay folks..now..if he couldn't make a stand or some sorta statement pertaining to that situation, what kinda credibilty does he have??? In some ways it really pisses me off...take a stand on an issue that someone would give a shit about Elton....Guess I found an issue I give a damn about!! Never thought it would be Elton John?!?!

Her father is half Syrian (where Abdul comes from) and half Brazilian and her mother is Spanish and something else (can't think off the top of my head). She identifies herself as Latina. Her and Tyra Banks did a fundraiser for and organization geared at improving Latina/black female relations
