David Furnish

Neil Patrick Harris and his partner, David Burtka, suited up their twins in life jackets yesterday and joined Elton John and his family for a day of yachting in Saint-Tropez. Elton's partner, David Furnish, and their son, Zachary John-Furnish, relaxed in the sun while Neil and David showed Gideon and Harper the view.

The families kicked off their European getaway on Wednesday at Le Club 55 before hitting the beach and taking a motorboat ride. The vacation seems to be becoming a tradition for the friends who made a similar trip to the South of France last August. The couples' kids are close in age with Gideon and Harper turning 2 in October and Zachary following closely behind in December.

Neil Patrick Harris and his partner, David Burtka, met up with Elton John and David Furnish in Saint-Tropez today. Neil and David brought their twins, Gideon and Harper, along on the European vacation, and David and Elton also had their son, Zachary, close by. The group met up at popular beach club Le Club 55. Afterward, the families put their little ones in life jackets, gave a wave to their friends back on shore, and hopped on a motorboat.

NPH is enjoying some time off following the season seven finale of How I Met Your Mother, which saw his character Barney tie the knot with Cobie Smulders's Robin. While the show is already confirmed for an eighth season, CBS executives recently revealed their hopes to bring the series back for a ninth year, too.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake cuddled close and posed for photos with friends Elton John, David Furnish, and Neuro beverage creator Diana Jenkins at Southern Hospitality in NYC last night. Justin's on the East Coast leg of his In Time promotion tour and slipped out of the three-piece suit he wore to his The Late Show interview and stepped out in a casual look for a late-night cocktail with friends. Jessica was right by JT's side as she was on a recent double date with Justin's parents and at the LA screening of his new film. Elton's trip to the Big Apple was philanthropic in nature. Prior to meeting up with JT and Jessica, he hosted his 10th annual gala for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which raised more than $2 million in charitable contributions.

Elton John boarded a yacht in St. Tropez today with his husband, David Furnish, and their young son, Zachary, who was ready for the water in a life jacket. The threesome headed off to a friend's boat docked near the coast of France. David and Elton have been enjoying time on their own luxury vessel this Summer. Elton and David were joined by Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, along with their twins, earlier this month, and the two families lounged in the sun and explored the Mediterranean together. NPH and his partner have since parted ways from their famous friends, but it looks like Elton and David's getaway isn't over yet as they continue to relax overseas with other pals like British comic David Walliams and his bikini-clad supermodel wife, Lara Stone.

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka jetted to France for a family vacation with twins Gideon and Harper and found themselves sunning along the coast of France with friends Elton John, David Furnish, and their son, Zachary. NPH is coming off his latest media blitz, promoting his Summer live-action 3D film The Smurfs. The film wasn't a runaway success with critics, but it did share the top spot at the box office with Cowboys & Aliens last weekend, each respectively taking in $36.2 million. NPH missed out on ABC's TCA events this week in LA, but his costar Jason Segel was there to represent the cast of How I Met Your Mother and field questions about the show's upcoming seventh season. He didn't give away any mother spoilers, though Jason did talk about his character, Marshall, becoming a dad, saying, "I feel so bad for whatever kids they hire. I'm so awkward. I'm like the Abominable Snowman from the Bugs Bunny cartoons. These poor, acting babies."

Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, brought their baby, Zachary, along for a trip to Venice for the Biennale. The trio played on the boat's deck yesterday afternoon, with David keeping a watchful eye on their young son. David also made time for a quick onboard haircut while Elton welcomed one of their friends aboard. The couple has been making the social rounds during the Venice Biennale, and Elton apparently even added some artwork to his collection with the purchase of a piece from an exhibition called The Future Generation. Elton broke from the creative proceedings in Italy, though, to recently write a letter to Florida governor Rick Scott to advocate against changing the eligibility laws for access to HIV drugs in the Sunshine State.

Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, arrived at Westminster Abbey for the royal wedding in London today. They joined other special guests David and Victoria Beckham, Joss Stone, and Chelsy Davy in taking their seats inside the church. The invitees are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Prince William, who will wear an Irish Guards Mounted Officer's uniform, and minutes later his bride, Kate Middleton. Elton and David are some of the lucky attendees who will witness William and Kate's nuptials take place in just an hour.

He has sung for Princess Diana and to his son. Sir Elton John is a living legend whose music has and continues to resonate with generations of families. His timeless tunes have become the theme songs of many people's lives. He's tickled the ivories and manned the mic on stage for over four decades, added record and film producing to his repertoire, and is a passionate advocate. But, now at 63-years-old, he is a family man. I recently had the opportunity to interview the new father (with a group of fellow mothers) at the press junket for his latest project, Gnomeo & Juliet (Disney flew me down for the event). Here are the highlights!
