Singer Adam Lambert and his boyfriend, interior designer Drake LaBry, are calling it quits – at least that’s according to a source close to the now former couple. The source said “The relationship just ran its course. The break-up was mutual and amicable. They remain friends and still care for each other.” When one of the people involved happens to be in the entertainment industry, that reason is kind of hard to believe. I wonder what the real reason is for their break up. They’ve been pretty all up on each other up until a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if the American Idol alum has found someone else.
Adam Lambert has created a video to thank all of his fans who have collectively donated $229,000 to support public school classrooms as part of the challenge he launched with education charity DonorsChoose.org. The singer said “I am unbelievably moved by the generosity and resolve of my fans, who have donated beyond what I could have ever expected to help students around the country. Although I was on tour during the length of the competition, I frequently checked in on the challenge progress and was so amazed to see the number of donors and total amount donated continue to rise and rise.”
Two American Idol champions and one American Idol runner up performed several songs during Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series at New York City’s Rumsey Playfield last Friday. Adam Lambert performed his own rendition of Muse’s ‘Starlight’, David Cook performed his third single ‘Come Back to Me’ from his album, and Kris Allen performed an acoustic version of Kanye West’s ‘Heartless’. The three singers came back together on stage to perform a cover of ‘Little Lies’. I wish I could have been part of that audience. The three of them had really great performances. And if that translates very well on video, you can only imagine how they are live.
Those Clay Aiken fans can be pretty sneaky and they have enough power among them to influence some major news stories. Apparently, a group of Claymates were pretty angry over the whole Clay VS Adam Lambert showdown. They’ve taken it upon themselves to start a vicious rumor about the recent American Idol runner up and it spread like wildfire on the internet. They were supposedly the ones responsible for telling MSNBC that Adam was a crazy diva who was nothing but rude to everyone he met on his publicity tour. It seems to me that the only crazy ones around are the Clay fans.
While we’re all still left without an official confirmation on whether Adam Lambert is really gay, the American Idol runner up pretty much came out in his own way this past Monday. The singer was partying it up at the Guys and Dolls club in West Hollywood and when he came out, he was holding hands with boyfriend Drake Labry. Witnesses also say that Adam was caught snuggling up to Drake all evening and kept their iron love grip all the way to the car even with loads of paparazzi already surrounding them. I think this is all the confirmation any of us needs.
Everyone has been calling Kris Allen’s victory over Adam Lambert an American Idol upset. What’s so upsetting about it? It’s not like Kris isn’t talented. But when you’ve pretty much orchestrated a finale show that showcased Adam more than Kris, it would be upsetting to you. Kris only got to perform one song with Keith Urban while Adam got to sing a medley with rock icons KISS. Heck, even Danny Gokey got to sing more songs than Kris when Danny sang a medley with Lionel Richie. Add to that, the final performance of the two before the winner was announced was with Queen.
