Adam Lambert: NOW He's Gay

June 9, 2009

(Photo from Rolling Stone)
The "American Idol" runner-up has finally admitted what many suspected, that he is gay. He did so in the pages of Rolling Stone (which has excerpts from the interview online) because he thought it was "cooler" than just telling reporters generally, or coming out in People magazine like Clay Aiken.

Goodbye, May

May 31, 2009

"American Idol": That '70s Show

May 5, 2009

They called it rock & roll night, then rock night, and brought in Slash. But a show that makes a lot of noise about being contemporary overlooked three decades of music to get to tonight's selections.
