The season eight American Idol winner [sic] confirmed to the U.K.’s Daily Star Thursday that he has been tapped to be the lead singer of Queen—the spot in which original member Freddie Mercury held until his untimely death in 1991.
“The intention is to pay tribute to Freddie and the band by singing some f—cking great songs,” Lambert, 30, told the paper. “It’s to keep the music alive for the fans and give it an energy that Freddie would have been proud of.”
If you went to Finland with your boyfriend, went to a club, then got in a fight with him, would that be a deal breaker? What if in the middle of the fight (this is a physical fight, by the way, you’re not just talking about your emotions in loud voices) some friendly people nearby tried to break it up, and your boyfriend attacked them, too? Would you stick it out?
Well, Adam Lambert and his boyfriend, Sauli, would. They’d laugh the whole thing off over burgers! Seriously, that’s what happened. Here are some of Adam’s Tweets after the whole incident:
Jetlag + Vodka = blackout.
Us ÷ blackout = irrational confusion.
jail + guilt + press = lesson learned.
Sauli + Adam + hangover burgers = laughing bout it. :)
I don’t know, maybe I’m just an ol’ stick in the mud, but if I got arrested for fighting my boyfriend in a bar, I’d take some time to reconsider some things. I’ve never really understood the whole “went to jail, LOL” mindset, and I can’t even begin to understand how you could be “laughing bout” throwing punches at your boyfriend and a bunch of strangers.
Does anyone have any insight here? Because I want to like Adam, I really do, but he’s just making it very, very hard.
… Grammy-nominated Adam [Lambert], 29, and reality TV star Sauli Koskinen, 26, were in a club called Don’t Tell Momma before becoming involved in what local media described as a ‘huge fight’.
Finnish media reported how onlookers tried in vain to break up the fight but that Adam allegedly attacked them as well.
Police were then called and broke up the fight before taking the couple to different police stations – Adam in the neighbourhood of Pasila and Sauli in Toolo. Adam’s management have not yet commented on the alleged incident and the injuries were not serious. Adam is currently holidaying in Finland and tweeted this week that ‘Jetlag sux’.
Come on, guys. Can’t we all just get along? It’s the Christmas season, after all, you know.
So, I’m wondering. How are we feeling about Adam Lambert‘s latest look? Me, I’m thinking that he’s starting to resemble a really budget magician (seriously, I’m totally waiting for him to try to guess the fucking number in my head) that’s about to pull a snake out of his ass (oh wait, that’d be his trousers, wouldn’t it), but I can see some people digging it. You know. Those weird magic convention kids that spent nine hours a day watching old clips of Houdini and rubbing one out over David Copperfield.
So earlier this week, Lady Gaga had a big old birthday party for herself at an upscale LA club, and hoards of celebrities were in attendance, including Adam Lambert. I guess it’s no surprise that Adam and Gaga would get along notoriously, as their music is kind of similar and both Adam and Gaga idolize Elton John, so if worse came to worst, they could skip the party altogether and do killer renditions of ‘Rocket Man’ at some random burlesque-karaoke digs, right?
Well, not really: Adam was actually a plus-one of the Scissor Sisters, who were legitimately invited to the party, and according to sources inside and outside of the club, Adam was way embarrassing in his drunkenness, fist-pumping a la Jersey Shore to the music, accidentally punching a hole in the club’s ceiling, and later trying to smush birthday cake in Lady Gaga’s face. After all that business, Gaga had security remove Lambert from the premises.
OK, first of all, I absolutely abhor That Friend. The one who mucks everything up on a good night out because you either have to take care of their drunken, sloppy ass after they puke or get busted in the face by some stranger, and then? The rest of your night is shot in the ass. I guess I could see Adam Lambert being like that, but come on. Have a little more self-control and, by virtue, self-respect. No one thinks that being around that kind of shit is funny – or cute.
So I STILL haven’t tuned into American Idol yet this season, despite a lot of your vehement urgings that it’s totally the best year yet, but my mom, who IS a huge Idol fan, and won’t even take my phone calls when the show is on, emailed this to me last night after I’d gone to bed.
And I’m soooo glad that she did. Adam Lambert, who I thought was a COMPLETE FUCKING TOOL during HIS stint on American Idol has grown on me so hard, and so completely, and his performance last night completely clinched it for me that he’s a total rock star in his own right, and will be around for a long time to come. You might not like his particular musical genre, and you might think his ‘I’m like dudes and I’m going to grind my crotch in this other hot dude’s face to fucking PROVE IT TO YOU’-type of sexuality is questionable, but you cannot deny that this guy has got a serious load of talent. I particularly like this song, as it sort of channels another man with a serious load of talent, lead singer of Live, Ed Kowalczyk.
