With all the divaliciousness headed to the new season of American Idol, I don’t know how we are all gonna handle it?! With the loss Simon Cowell, Ellen Degeneres, Paula Abdul and Kara DioGuardi I think producers KNEW they would have to pick the right replacement judges to catapult the show into another successful season.
Enter Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.
The two utterly HUGE personalities are [Read more...]
Barnes and Noble now has cover art up for the upcoming release of Kris Allen’s debut album. The “American Idol” winner’s self-titled album is set to release on November 17. Until then, you can hear his first single, “Live Like We’re Dying,” on Z100 radio where it premiere back in September.
The green hued cover has a very retro, almost Rat Pack, feel to it. I hope this is a sign for what’s to come musically. It would be nice to hear something with an older style, not the usual pop that ends up on “American Idol” winner’s first releases.
If you have not heard the track, here it is below.
Your fans throw sex toys at you!!
American Idol runner up Adam Lambert has some pretty freaky fans! During his performances he’s had all sorts of things flung at him on stage like bra’s and panties!
“It’s going further, and somebody threw onstage a red-leather tasseled whip,” he tells us. “Yeah, and then the next night, I got one that was made out of, like, purple fur. It’s getting really S&M.”
“It interesting,” he says. “I got some glow-in-the-dark handcuffs. It’s really getting creative. It’s exciting. I think they really want me to play with these toys during the number.”
How freaky!
But there was one time where it was just a bit too much.
“But then somebody threw a bra on during ‘Starlight,’ and, literally, it missed my face by three inches. Yeah, I am going to be a little bit more passive-aggressive, so I decided not to even acknowledge the bra that got thrown on stage, because I didn’t want to condone the behavior.”
Poor guy, give him a break!
If you love American Idol judge Paula Abdul you might be in for a surprise! Abdul’s manager David Sonenberg told the L.A. Times the former singer/dancer may not be returning for another season. While all other judges have already signed up it seems she’s not even been offered a proposal yet!
“Very sadly, it does not appear that she’s going to be back on Idol. She’s not a happy camper as a result of what’s going on. She’s hurt. She’s angry,” Sonenberg said. “I think at this point we’re going to be considering everything, including some kind of a competition show. She has tremendous ideas for a whole variety of shows.”
Will you still watch Idol if Paula doesn’t come back?
Even though he was the runner up, Adam Lambert is seeing most of the spotlight from American Idol. The 27-year-old California native was recently chosen as a potential candidate for frontman of rock band Queen.
So is he thinking of joining them?
“That’s a tough question because, honestly, how do you say no to being in Queen?” said Lambert. “I mean, that’s unbelievable. But at the same time, I do have my own thing to do right now, and that’s my goal. So if I could, I would try to do both. That’s the honest question. I would try to do both. I would love to perform with them anytime they wanted me to but I also have my record to do. So, we’ll see.”
Speaking of his album, here is what he has planned.
“My record will be kind of a rock-pop-electronic-dance thing,” he said. “I don’t know how to describe it. I think it’s gonna take on a life of its own, as far as genre goes.”
The album is in the very early stages and Lambert aims to co-write much of the material.
Check out his performance “Mad World” for the CBS Early Show in New York today.

Even though he did not win the title of American Idol, Adam Lambert is still a winner. His final performance with rock band Queen did not go unnoticed. They are thinking of the possibility of Lambert being their new frontman!
“Amongst all that furor, there wasn’t really a quiet moment to talk,” Queen guitarist Brian May told Rolling Stone in an interview released on Friday.
“But and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with at some point. It’s not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn’t that easy. But I’d certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there,” May told the magazine in an e-mail exchange.
Queen recently broke up with their frontman who was with them for 4 years, Paul Rodgers.
May says he is comfortable with American Idol being a launching pad for a rockin’ career!
“If you have enough talent and enough will to succeed, you will get there by whatever route presents itself,” he wrote Rolling Stone. “Once you have scaled the castle walls, with the sword in your hand, it matters little how you got there. I’ve not always been positive about shows like this but there is no doubt that it offers a door to some real genuine talent along the way.”
Adam should be happy he didn’t win anyways! Only two winners, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have made it to the top. I think we will see great things from Adam Lambert.
