Adam Lambert Finally Says He's Gay in Rolling Stone

Coming as no surprise to anyone, Adam Lambert was waiting to announce his homosexuality like it was a big deal in Rolling Stone. He was probably offered a big paycheck. Otherwise there was no reason for him to pussyfoot around the issue for so long. Adam is quoted as saying, "Right after the finale, I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, 'I'm going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler.'" Yeah, ok... Adam also admits he's been on plenty of drugs (pot, Ecstasy, cocaine) and that he was hot for Kris Allen, but Kris didn't reciprocate because of his wife. Hey, at least the guy is being candid and not doing the typical "I love everyone" Idol B.S. interview most contestants do, so good for him.

Why? Because he says he has taken drugs? Because he overshares? I give Adam props for admitting to being human.

I can relate to him much more than to Kris Allen, who just seems too damn perfect to be real. A non-judgemental, open-minded church leader? That's the first I've ever heard of it.

The cover is very tacky, but in a funny way.

"The cover is very tacky, but in a funny way."

Maybe it's like hearing a joke too many times for me. Ceases to be funny and I'm just left with the tacky. LOL!

Wanted to clarify. In no way did I mean the "critique" of the cover to be a criticism of Adam.
Do I like Adam? I have no idea. I like his voice. Do I like Kris? Again, I don't know. Don't know him. Same with all of them. I enjoy AI on so many levels, (haven't missed an episode since the day 1 debut as a summer replacement show in June of '02), love to pick apart the personalities, laugh at and love, but reserve judgement calls as to the character of the contestants.
How's this for cliche ... time'll tell.

dam Lambert, American Idol Season 8 runner up, finally comes out of the closet after months of public speculation about his sexuality on the new issue of Rolling Stone mag. Adam Lambert decided to go ahead and spill the beans, and he did so without cash loans as incentive. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Adam Lambert confirmed that he is indeed gay, and he is already signed to a recording deal as well as Kris Allen, the Am Idol winner that doesn't have the kind of thrill like his picture on the cover of Rolling Stone. (It's going to sell lots of magazines.) It's going to mean no payday loans needed for Adam Lambert.

>but Kris didn't reciprocate because of his wife

Strange how it didn't say Kris didn't reciprocate because he *wasn't gay* (or bisexual in this case I guess). Hmmmm.

That's just the condensed version. Here's the full quote where Adam adds Kris is 100% straight.....

Adam Lambert, who lost to Kris Allen in a stunning upset in the eight season of “American Idol,” recently admitted to Rolling Stone magazine that he had a crush on Allen. “I was like, ‘Oh, sh--, they put me with the cute guy,’” Lambert admitted.

“Distracting! He's the one guy I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type — except that he has a wife. I mean, he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100 percent straight.”

What's an aperilla?

Kris is attractive to both genders; Adam is only attractive to the middle one.
