Adam Lambert and Drake LaBry Split Up
Michael Sarver Actually Gets a Record Deal. I Know, Right?
Seriously? Michael Sarver has signed with Dream Records, a small record company affiliated with The Dream Center, which does non-profit work around the country. It seems odd that a non-profit organization would have a record label, but we didn't see Michael Sarver making a profit from singing anyway, so this seems about right. The label is apparently a Christian label, and Michael plans on releasing a country album. At least he finally listened to us and dropped the pretense that he's an R&B singer. But hey, the guy got himself a record deal, which was more than we expected, so good luck to him and we'll see how it goes.
Happy Halloween to all of the Worsters out there. If you're looking for a last minute, scary costume that is guaranteed to give people nightmares, we have a suggestion for you. Be careful though, little kids may run away in terror.
Ryan Seacrest's Stalker Arrested
Ryan seacrest's alleged stalker, Chidi Uzomah, was arrested yesterday inside the E! building. Uzomah had a knife and requested to talk with Ryan. Uzomah has in the past assaulted Ryan's security guard and shown up at the radio station where Ryan works. He's now being held in prison on a charge of felony stalking. Ryan has been granted a temporary restraining order. So we guess it's not just the Idols who have creepy stalkers. Remember kids, no matter how much you don't like someone, don't stalk them. Get a life.
Adam Lambert - "For Your Entertainment" Premieres
Well here's Adam Lambert's "official" single. Top 40 radio might possibly embrace this because it's so cookie cutter. His voice is so processed, anyone could be singing this. The song sounds like something Britney Spears was offered, but she passed on it because it was too cheesy. Except for the awful screaming in the bridge... that's just pure Adam. Guess we'll see what happens next.
Let the Failures Begin: Adam Lambert Debuts at a Pathetic #50 On the Hot 100
Every year, American Idol contestants debut near the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with their new singles. For example, David Archuleta's "Crush" debuted at #2. Even "Light On" by David Cook debuted at #17. Adam Lambert's "Time for Miracles", however, debuted at #50. That's pretty pathetic. This is clearly due to the fact that no one will play this song on the radio since it's so cliche and terrible. Will Adam's next single do any better? Doubtful.

Vote for the Worst Presents: The 10 Worst Songs of 2002
Each week, we'll be featuring the worst songs from each year this decade. We'll be counting down the absolute worst songs to come out each year from 2000 to 2009, and we'll be bringing back all of the songs you wish you'd forgotten. These are the songs that people just can't seem to believe exist, because they're just so terrible. There is a good mixture of guilty pleasures (the awfully funny) and complete crapfests (the awful with no merit). At the end of the 10 weeks, you'll have an opportunity to vote on the worst song of the decade.
2002 was a year for terrible songs with good intentions, pointless remakes, and songs about the joys of interacting with the female anatomy. So without further ado, here's a recap of the songs that made you contemplate throwing your car radio out the window in 2002.
10. Kelly Osbourne - Papa Don't Preach
The success of the TV show The Osbournes afforded the whole family some success. Sharon got an embarrassingly short lived talk show that was canceled almost immediately. Jack got a stint in rehab for his drug addictions. But the biggest shame was Kelly's recording career. Her first single was a cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach", which was ironic because there's no way any man was looking to impregnate Kelly. Ever. For those of you who think her next song "Shut Up" was worse, you are correct. But it didn't come out until 2003 *cue creepy foreshadowing music*
Apparently, Adam Lambert has broken up with his boyfriend, Drake LaBry. Even though Drake didn't seem like much of a catch, bad move on Adam's part. He's probably believing the hype about himself and sees himself as a "sex symbol" who can have his pick of men. So we feel we need to step in and do what we do best here. No one with any taste would fantasize about a crater-faced, Liza Minnelli looking, double-chinned Twilight impersonator with a terrible haircut. It's our job to put Adam back in his place so he retains a realistic outlook on life. See, and people say we don't do anything positive. (News via MJ's Big Blog)
