Elton John -- Expensive Pocket Man

Elton John trudged through the rain and the foot traffic in Beverly Hills Wednesday -- all in the name of fine linen pants.

TMZ has learned Elton spent $12,000 at the Ralph Lauren store in BH -- picking up linen pants in yellow, green, white and navy. We're also told John bought several "bright colored knit shirts in a variety of colors."

Several fans approached Elton while he was inside -- and he happily took photos. But we're told security had to usher the singer back to his car when the fans became a little overwhelming.

Elton and his linen emerged unscathed.

They only cost 12K because he had the special "trap door" installed in the back of each pair.

I'd love to get a shot of him and Axl Rose sharing the bed together on New Years Day critiquing the Rose Parade floats.

Hahahhaa.........

Over-exposed photo or is Elton a little pale? Get thee to a health food store, get your iron complex, potassium, B complex and liver, onions and veggies for a week. He's looking a little portly; rest, Omega 3, calcium and hot peppers. Dogs may be man's best friend, but cayenne and habanero peppers are fitness coaches.

That photo makes him look like he was just run over by a moving truck. Geez, go for a run and get your skeleton aligned or something!

I've got it! Elton's musical creativity seems to be slacking way back, so here's the new idea for Elton; use someone else's lyrics and get on with it! Terminate the Bernie head-trip, it's spent. Write some of your own. You've been singing for what, weeks now, and surely you must have some lyrics somewhere?
