Adam Lambert Admits Being Gay, Had Crush on Kris Allen

Posted: 09 Jun 2009 10:15 AM PDT

Adam Lambert has finally confirmed all the rumors – he is, in fact, gay. Of course, this can't come as much of a surprise to most people. There were, however, a few revelations in his Rolling Stone interview that will raise a few eyebrows.

The biggie? He had a crush on American Idol winner, Kris Allen, who happened to be his roommate! Adam said: "He’s the one guy I found attractive on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type — except that he has a wife."

He describes his current boyfriend, Drake LaBry as "Cajun, voodoo-down, dreamy." I certainly hope he's neither the jealous type nor into voodoo since he might be a little miffed about that Kris Allen comment!

His one word to sum up Justin Timberlake is "yum" and he does have an opinion about having female fans: "Just because I’m not sticking it in there doesn’t mean that I don’t find it beautiful." Since he was already oversharing, he revealed that he experimented with girls in high school and lost his virginity in Hollywood on his 21st birthday.

Soooo… It's all out now. Start commenting!

Cowell’s “Saturday Night Fever” Remake to Star Zac Efron?

Posted: 09 Jun 2009 09:30 AM PDT

I really can't tell you how much I'm beginning to hate the word "remake." I don't know why some of the more classic films need to be redone at all but I will leave my venting for another day and just relay this little bit of gossip.

Apparently, Simon Cowell is in negotiations to breathe new life into the iconic film Saturday Night Fever and some of the chatter surrounding the cast and production crew has surprised me. The original film starred John Travolta as 19-year-old Tony Manero, "an Italian-American who led a mundane existence working in a small hardware store by day but ruled the dance floor at the 2001 Odyssey, a Brooklyn dance club, at night."

I could think of a few people who I'd choose for the role (maybe even Adrian Grenier of Entourage even though I know he's a little older) but I don't think Zac Efron would have ever crossed my mind. I can see how Simon might assume that his looks would lure the teen crowd but would he make himself look like a fool in the process? Quite possibly.

Anyway, Timbaland, is also in talks to put a new spin on the famous soundtrack and, again, I'm not terribly thrilled about that possibility.

Do you think Efron could be right for the role? Should this movie even be remade at all?

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert Sign with 19 Recordings

Posted: 09 Jun 2009 09:20 AM PDT

It has been announced that both American Idol winner, Kris Allen, and his runner-up, Adam Lambert, have been signed to 19 Recordings. Kris has been licensed to Jive Records while Adam has been licensed to RCA Records.

I can't wait to see what kind of music they both come up with. I'm equally intrigued about any collaborations which can make a huge difference in their success (look at what "No Air" did for Jordin Sparks!)

What do you think? Is there anyone you'd like to see Kris and/or Adam work with?
