Oscars 2012: Elton John And David Furnish Show Off Son Zachary At Oscars Party

Elton John's annual Oscar's after show bash always has an array of A-list stars on its guest list, but this year there was one extra special attendee who was attracting all sorts of attention.

Elton and his partner David Furnish proudly showed off their son Zachary at their showbiz party last night, as the stars arrived at the annual fundraiser.

He may only be 14 months-old, but that didn't stop Zachary from mingling with some of the world's most famous faces, including Katy Perry, Kelly Osbourne, Heidi Klum and Miley Cyrus, who all turned out for Elton's party.

Katy Perry in particular spent some quality bonding time with the little lad, pulling faces to keep him entertained.

Zachary - who was born to a surrogate mother - is no stranger to pop princesses - his godmother is Lady Gaga after all.

It was a surprise to see the toddler at the event, as he is rarely photographed, and Elton and David have both previously spoken of how they fear for Zachary growing up in the intensity of the showbiz spotlight.

Elton recently told Attitude magazine: "We're going to have challenges, of course we are. But we talked about that before we had him."

David added: "I think he's going to have a lot of attention thrust upon him.

"He's going to be potentially doubly stigmatised, because one of his parents is extremely famous and because he comes from two dads."

But by the looks of these pictures, he'll have an army of A-listers on his side ready to help him fight off any unwanted attention.

discusting couple...poor child, the shock of his life is yet to come...

I feel so sorry for the child. His so called fathers treat him like a handbag dog. The child will never have a real normal life, as he is being used as a prop for the two "Love me" couple.

I don't have a problem with gays bringing up kids, but I do have issues with showing them off at glitzy (& vain) shows like this as if they were pets, nowt 'normal' about that.

I've got to say, I, like most people, thought the Dad was David Furnish, as I know they used both of their sperm to conceive and I was being presumptious about Elton's age. But looking at the child, I'd say there's life in ol' Elton yet!
Also a prep school jacket on a 1 year old? Cringe.

What a gorgeous little boy!! I imagine his life is filled with love.

Hmmm. My totally innocuous comment has been deleted. How odd.
I'll repeat it...............................

"....both previously spoke of how they fear for Zachary growing up in the intensity of the showbiz spotlight."
So they take him to the Oscars. Very low key.
Poor little chap.

yes very odd isnt it, maybe the child is being used to a certain extent to draw attention to themselves and seek more publicity, why else would a child of that age be at such a lavish event, it does seem a little odd to take a child to the oscars
