March 8 - Jason Mraz was one of the many celebrities who attended Elton John's 18th annual Oscar Viewing Party in West Hollywood last night. Wearing his trademark hat and a gray suit, Mraz not only brought a date, but also a proposal for the party's host, Elton John.
When touring the San Diego LGBT Community Center last week, Jason revealed that he was hoping to discuss a possible collaboration with Elton John on what he described as an “Ebony and Ivory of the times, for equality.” For those too young to remember, Paul McCartney teamed up with Stevie Wonder back in the 1980s for a song about racial harmony and equality called "Ebony and Ivory."
Jason Mraz's idea would bring the heterosexual community together with the gay and lesbian community in support of the rights of gays to legally marry. Mraz has been a vocal supporter of marriage equality for gays, as expressed through his online journal, and even at one of his 2008 concerts in Los Angeles when he urged people to vote "NO" on Proposition 8.
Abby Schwartz, a coordinator at the San Diego LGBT Community Center, told GLTNewsNow.com, "Jason realizes he has a platform that many do not and wants to use it to share a message of love, acceptance and equality for all.” No word on whether Elton John would be interested in the idea.

Oww.. new date? Who is she?
Visit blogs @ dragonflyhigh.blogspot and read Jan 23, 3:02AM entry. Then go to leloveimage.blogspot and scroll down to Wed, March 3 - read "Why" - behind closed doors! Check Dragonfly Dec 2008 for confirmation. Thats your sweet boy.
Certainly not Tawney. . . I'm sure she's just a friend.
J-really! For 2 years you shy away from having public photos with beautiful Tawney and then you let this photo loose all over the place - right after dumping Tawney like a hot potato. You are a real class act, J! I hope Tawney knows how lucky she is.
hey "behind closed doors," what does the leloveimage.blogspot have to do with it? Was that blog written about about jason?
According to this socialitelife.celebuzz.com/archive/2010/03/08/18th_annual_elton_john_aids_foundation_academy_award_party.php (how trustworthy are they ?)
this is Jason's ex wife Sheridan Edley Mraz. I have never seen a picture of hers, so I don't know if it's true or not. Hopefully the mystery will be solved soon ... :) (Mystery the moon / A hole in the sky ... )
study both blogs, match photos, read back to Dec 2008 and view others....thats all I can reveal now...yes, in answer to your question
Is it really true that he left Tawney?
I saw the blogs, but i'm still not convinced.
The girl on this picture is Sheridan his ex wife BTW
Check Sheridan's current photos - there are several. Check Twitter. This girl at Oscar party is not Sheridan. She would be a good choice for date as she works with those people, but she
isn't the girl from Sunday. And yes, J dumped T in early Jan.
Girl in photo is Sheridan Edley, ex-wife, good friend of jm.
Hello people. What better way to tell everyone you aren't gay than to show up with a date? Jason couldn't bring the lady he
has been with because he tossed her. Good PR move, Mraz! Its
all about the image........
Got something to say?
