Peter Jackson to Follow Oscar Win With "Elton John: Return of the Queen"

When "Return of the King" swept the Academy Awards last Sunday, winning all 11 statues it was nominated for, Best Director Peter Jackson has become one of the most sought after directors in Hollywood. Rumors abound that Jackson has signed on to direct the new remake of King Kong. But after spending years filming monsters, wizards, and dwarves, it seems Jackson doesn't have the desire to work with a giant ape, opting for something a little more fabulous.

Like it or not, gay is in. Gay marriages being performed, anti-sodomy laws repealed, even several scenes between Frodo and Sam, the two main protagonist of the "Rings" stories, where they seemed to be...rather...well, basically butt-buddies.

Word has leaked out that Jackson's newest project will be a film version of gay icon Elton John's autobiography, titled "Elton John: Return of the Queen". Metrosexual icon Justin Timberlake is slated to play Elton, and has stated that he has been having sex with Clay Aiken in order to prepare for the role.
