Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party Sunday.The Rocket Man’s sons — Zachary, 14, and Elijah, 12 — along with his husband, David Furnish, made a rare appearance at the annual affair held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.The boys wore blacks suits as they posed between their proud dads and even accompanied Furnish, 62, onstage.Earlier in the night, John, 77, was in attendance at the Dolby Theatre for the Academy Awards, where he was up for Best Original Song for “Never Too Late” — a tune he co-wrote with Brandi Carlile for his documentary of the same name. But the Oscar, presented by Mick Jagger, went to “El Mal” from “Emilia Perez.”John’s viewing party is always a hot ticket on Oscar night, and this year’s bash — co-hosted by Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jean Smart, Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka — was no different.

Susanne Bartsch, the legendary club queen who has presided over generations of queer party boys — and other children of the counterculture — in the City That Never Sleeps.“You know, I’m not gay, but I love the community, and I’ve always felt that they need support because they seemed to be treated differently than the heteros,” Bartsch told The Post. “And I didn’t like that.

“Bedtime Story” that only Madonna could tell.In the true tradition of her notoriously late concert starts, the Queen of Pop kept her loyal subjects waiting until almost 11 p.m. before taking the stage to kick off the US leg of her “Celebration Tour” at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Wednesday night. Due to the tour’s postponement — after a serious bacterial infection sent Madonna to the ICU in June — local fans already had to wait four months since the original New York dates in August were rescheduled.So what’s another couple of hours?Although the tickets had a scheduled 8:30 p.m.

Beyoncé — dropped a new trailer for her much-hyped concert film “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.” “To close my eyes and travel through realms of space and time, reality holds no power or control of my state of mind on my voyage to find a source to charge my inner being,” she intones over a moody montage of scenes from her epic 2023 tour at the beginning of the film’s third trailer.“Welcome to the Renaissance,” a choir of Beyoncé’s sings, as if you didn’t already know that said tour was the subject of this concert film.The film is set to be released on December 1, World AIDS Day, in honor of Beyoncé’s late Uncle Jonny — her inspiration for “Renaissance,” who died from AIDS-related complications early in her career.Then, some stadium stage-slaying and private family feels find Beyoncé reflecting on just how fierce she has run the world — as well as the household.“In this world that is very male-dominated, I’ve had to be really tough to balance motherhood and being on the stage … It just reminds me of who I really am.”Finally, after a nod to the “Renaissance” visuals that the fans have been clamoring for since the album dropped in July 2022 — “You are the visuals, baby,” she teases — Beyoncé makes it clear that the revolution has just begun, y’all.“It’s a new birth.

Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed, the latest in-depth documentary portrait by Sid & Judy director Stephen Kijak.Kijak’s films, both narrative and nonfiction, have delved into cultural icons from Judy Garland to Lynyrd Skynyrd to the Backstreet Boys.

One in Two (★★★★☆) — i.e., the audience at each performance will choose which of the cast’s three actors plays the role of Number One, leaving the roles of Two and Three up to chance — it might behoove a critic to see the show more than one or two times to experience multiple permutations of the production at Mosaic Theater.However, there wasn’t time for that before this review, and, more crucially, I’d say audiences can rest assured director Raymond O. Caldwell’s talented trio will deliver — regardless of who plays which part.

One of the chief things for which televangelist Pat Robertson will be remembered is his long record of anti-LGBTQ+ statements.
