Update: FremantleMedia made YouTube pull the clip. But you can watch it here.
If you’re anything like me, you were absolutely devastated last night when Adam Lambert’s American Idol performance was cut off by your DVR. Because he is your fantasy man, despite the fact that he’s hopelessly gay, and because the show ran eight minutes over. EIGHT MINUTES! How does that even happen? You’ve been doing this for eight seasons, Idol producers. No one over there has any capacity to keep their eye on the clock? Totally unacceptable. Maybe fewer commercials next time, eh?
Adam was — in what’s becoming something of a pattern, and I doubt accidentally — the final contestant to perform. His entire performance went un-recorded by TiVos and DVRs everywhere.
So here’s my question: Is this going to impact Adam in the voting? Obviously a lot of us headed straight to the Internet to find a clip of Adam’s performance — there’s one above, if you want it — but not everyone’s so tech-savvy, or has an Internet connection at home. Will people fail to vote for Adam because they didn’t get to watch him? Are they going to address it all on the show tonight? I’m very very curious.
Oh, Adam. I thought my days of crushes on gay men were over once I got over Reichen Lehmkuhl (okay, I’m not really over him, but we’re making progress), but I’ve fallen for you soooo hard! I LOVE YOU, ADAM!!!
… but it’s not exactly the most hetero thing in the world, either.
Here are some of the pics of Adam Lambert being, well, gay, that are floating around the Internet right now. Whatever. The producers certainly can’t give him the boot for this stuff, and I for one am delighted that we have an openly gay contestant on Idol this season. Although I have to admit that I’m a little jealous that he makes a hotter chick than I do. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.
We’re hearing from insider sources that the producers of American Idol are freaking out right now, because apparently they’ve discovered that Adam Lambert did some gay porn in his pre-Idol days, and that it’s hanging out on the Internet right now.
Is anyone actually surprised by this?
I haven’t been able to track down the actual porn, but if anyone knows where it is, feel free to email me at evilbeet@gmail.com.
ZOooooooomg I am sooo obsessed with this kid. He just electrifies a stage like none other. I mean, I often like a contestant and think to myself, “Sure, yeah, you’re good. I’d listen to your album. On Rhapsody. For free.” But for the first time in Idol history, I’ve was like, “Dude, I would pay good money to see him when he tours.”
In fairness, Adam’s a seasoned stage professional — check out one of his LA stage performances here — but still. I just lovelovelove when he comes up. He’s so great.
Here’s his take on Michael Jackson’s “Black and White.” Easily the best of the week.
If you had any doubts about the Idol Top-12er’s sexuality, they can be put to rest right now.
I have no idea when or where this took place, but it’s a pretty cool video of Adam performing Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” in perhaps the gayest manner imaginable. Truly the only thing missing here is a vibrating plastic fist.
The last book came out four years ago, and it’s not like it’s some newly discovered series. People have been talking about what happened in the books for literal years. The points that I mentioned have been discussed over and over again,...
I’m a New Zealander, and Grant Bowler is well-known here, he was on a really popular Kiwi show called Outrageous Fortune, and he’s definitely chraismatic and a bit of a bad-ass. Shame he has to deal with Lindsanity… he was...
Nicholas Hoult was Tony in UK Skins – he’s awesome, also Beast in Xmen (mentioned above) and in Tom Ford’s A Good Man. Such a great couple :) Love him, love her! They’ve been together for at...
