Kris Allen won season eight of “American Idol”, but that doesn’t mean that he has any love for the franchise that made him famous. Someone sounds bitter! You would think he wouldn’t be, considering that he wouldn’t have a career if it weren’t for his time on the show.

When asked if he caught the season eleven finale of the show where Phillip Phillips took the Idol crown, he said that he hadn’t. It was a boring two-hour show that only gave us five minutes worth of results, but still.

Not only did he not watch the finale, he feels that the show has run its course overall. Has “American Idol” jumped the shark? As TMZ reports, it could be because Kris is only being projected to sell 15,000 to 20,000 records in his latest album’s first week. In addition to that, there are rumors floating around that Kris is going to be dropped from his record label.

Do you think Kris is right? Should FOX cancel “American Idol”? Is it a true showcase of talent, or is it a popularity contest?

We’ve got some good red carpet photos for you from tonight’s Grammy Awards!

On the red carpet, we got photos of Miley Cyrus, Adam Lambert (above), Justin Bieber, Kim and Rob Kardashian, Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes, Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry!

In the Katy photos, she’s seen walking the red carpet with her grandmother, wearing her white angel wings. Justin Bieber sported an all white suit on the red carpet, as well. Rihanna was also there, and she still looked like she wasn’t feeling the greatest. Poor thing!

Adam Lambert was in Miami Beach yesterday and reportedly wrestled a photographer to the ground.

The snapper alleges that Adam committed misdemeanor battery against him, but the police report says that he sustained no lacerations or bruises.

The photographer said that Adam grabbed his backpack where he had his camera and then “forcefully wrestled him to the ground”. According to the photo above, you can see that he has the camera in his hand.

Adam took to his official Twitter page to say:

They’re real good at provoking, but there ain’t any pics or video of the b.s. they spew out… Haha well… I lost my temper for a sec but wow it felt great lol MIAMI!!! Hahha the photos are hilarious !! Lol please everyone forgive me for that hat. – I was attempting a disguise- clearly failed. Hahah.

And I was going to ask about that hat, too. Fashion fail!

American Idol runner-up and rockin’ singer Adam Lambert just tweeted a photo of himself (above) with his head apparently shaved. He tweeted, “Glam Nation Glam” along with a link to the photo.

Not more than five minutes later, Adam tweeted, “Calm down… Just shaved one side… :)”

What do you think of Adam’s new hair do? Love it or hate it????

Adam Lambert belted out a nice and sweet version of his song, Aftermath at the 2010 KFest show and you can check out the video here.

The song is slow and sweet and he is still sounding awesome. For a minute, though, he looked like Kris Jenner or Rihanna with that hairdo. Tell me I’m wrong….After the cut for the video goodness! (continue reading…)

Adam Lambert sat down with Ellen DeGeneres for an interview and performance. He gave a sweet performance of his new song, If I Had You, much to the delight of the audience.

It’s good that he made dancers out of his friends, but they don’t seem to be able to move like he does. What do you think?

After the jump for the video goodness! (continue reading…)

It has been rumored in the media that Adam Lambert has been copying Tokio Hotel singer Bill Kaulitz, but Adam took to his official Twitter account to clear it all up for us.

When a fan tweeted this message, “I think that @adamlambert’s profile pic is a big copy of Bill Kaulitz style”, apparently it caught the singer’s attention. He tweeted in response, “Ha. Was inspired by Elvis.”

He went on, “I was rockin this hairdo when bill still had his lions mane…all this copycat talk is dumb. Hahaha. I’m gonna incite a fan riot. Such fun. Been wearing eye makeup and nail polish since that boy was like 12 or something… No ones copying… Just so happen to have similar taste. Relaaaaaaaaax folks :) spend your energy more wisely.”

Besides, Adam hasn’t always rocked the dark look, before his days on American Idol, he was blonde!

Adam Lambert’s new single cover for If I Had You has just been released and you can check it out to the right!

If you haven’t listened to the song before, you can check it out after the jump! (continue reading…)

The rumors are true! Former American Idol competitor Adam Lambert is set to mentor this season’s top eight contestants.

The singer took to his official Twitter account to say this:

It’s true! In addition to performing on Idol April 14th, I will be mentoring the top 8 on the 13th. I feel honored to be asked. Even though I’m just at the start of my recording career, I hope to lend some insight as one who’s been thru the Idol adventure. excited!! Don’t worry America: I will be beyond family friendly. Relax and enjoy. For Your Entertainment.

Are you excited or do you feel that American Idol is dead and no one has had the courtesy to tell it yet?

Adam Lambert tweeted this new video of his performance of Sleepwalker in Munich, yesterday.

He said, “At Bravo Magazine showcase yesterday”, along with a link to the Youtube video. You can watch the video, below! (continue reading…)

Adam Lambert is a fan of Lady Gaga, but in interviews, that’s not all he wants to talk about. The American Idol runner-up took to his official Twitter page to discuss the pop sensation.

He tweeted:

Just did my third German interview where I was told that I have said “I’m the male Lady Gaga”. Lol I would never say that. I’m Adam Lambert

Of course Im a fan and have the highest respect for her and there some theatrical sensibilities that we share- but we are different people.

The first question too many reporters ask has to do w GaGa. As much as I love her- it’s becoming tiresome. Would prefer to discuss MY art.

I’m sure she would agree.

More redundant questions that can be put to rest: yes it was amazing meeting Madonna. No I wasn’t asked to be Queen’s new frontman. :)

Aaaaand yes, I kissed Kesha. It was fun. I hope future interviewers review these tweets. I’d not, they’re twats. Hahah.

Don’t get me wrong- I actually really enjoy being interviewed. I’m not upset- just hoping that by tweeting, this questions will fade.

Boy George and Adam Lambert hit up the Merah club in London, where George was said to have performed his latest single.

Adam was gracious that he was able to meet up with the pop music star and tweeted this message: “@theboygeorge I’m honored to meet u tonight! U are one of the original glam gods! Such a treat! on top of your royalty u were so sweet.:)”

I just love these queens.

Adam Lambert performed his hit song For Your Entertainment at Sydney’s Mardi Gras celebration while wearing a spiked, diamond encrusted codpiece. The act was completed by half naked male dancers, while Adam was taped thrusting about.

If your name is Taylor Hicks, then probably not. Even though the crooner won the talent competition in 2006, he is now crooning away as a lead character in Grease on Broadway. Not that it wasn’t a dream of his to perform on Broadway, because that is totally respectable.

Obviously I wasn’t a card carrying member of the Soul Patrol, but the guy has a voice and some degree of talent. That is what winning American Idol means anyway, right?

On March 10, 2009, Taylor released his second album, The Distance, to dismal record sales. Therefore, he was soon dropped from his record label, J Records.

Even more recently, Kris Allen won 2009′s American Idol, yet hasn’t seen the success as runner-up, Adam Lambert. Sure, he raked in $650,000 in 19 Entertainment contracts, as well as deals to work with Disney, but what winning the competition done for his career as a singer? He obviously doesn’t have the same draw as Adam and even after he won, who was asked to out himself on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

But don’t think that any of the people who appear on the show don’t make their share of the payola.

Uh oh! Apparently Adam Lambert has a little bit of a bone to pick with Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle.

When speaking to a magazine recently the American Idol singer said that he didn’t like her debut album. Prior to that, he said that the UK is more tolerant with homosexuality and androgyny.

According to Pink Paper:

Speaking to the leading gay monthly, the performer said: “I just think that you guys in the UK are way ahead in terms of tolerance. It’s really interesting. In the UK and in Europe it’s less of an issue because people are more comfortable with their sexualities.

“And not just the gay thing, but even playful things, like the concept of androgyny. That is something that generally many Americans are uncomfortable with.”

He later went on to discuss Susan Boyle, who kept him off the top spot in the charts. He said: “I’m happy for her success, but that album is terrible. Wild Horses is the one that just made me laugh the hardest. I just died when I heard it, I was crying with laughter. It was the most horrendous, sacrilegious treatment of that song!”

Adam Lambert has confirmed that his next single from his gold-certified album, “For Your Entertainment” will be “If I Had You”.

The song follows his recent debut of “Whataya Want From Me”, which is still going strong.

Also, fellow former American Idol contestant, Kelly Clarkson has also revealed her next choice. She’s releasing “All I Ever Wanted” as her next single from her album of the same name. The single will reportedly begin radio airplay in March.

Adam Lambert has said previously that he is somewhat bi-curious. On a recent radio interview, the Idol star said that he made out with new pop sensation, Kesha.

When asked about the type of women that he goes for, Adam replied, “It’s kind of an energy thing, I mean, I made out with Kesha actually….a couple nights ago.”

The interviewer asks whether or not it was because he was attracted to her. He said, “She is really pretty and we were laughing and just started kissing, I dunno.”

Listen to the full audio here.

Adam Lambert was photographed by celebrity photographer Mike Ruiz in a couple of new photos that were just released.

He represents “old Hollywood style” and glitz. Love these pictures, he looks so glam.

What do you think?

Our congratulations go out to Adam Lambert on his debut album, “For Your Entertainment”, for going gold!

FYE has now sold over 500,000 copies, which marks its status as a gold record. The album debuted at number three on the Billboard Top 100 Chart and hasn’t yet fallen below the top fifty since being introduced.

It also appears that there’s been an effect on new American Idol competitors, as well. This was thought to be brought on by Lambert’s willingness to add his own style and flair to a song. Of the Adam Lambert effect, Kara DioGuardi said, “I think that people were interpreting songs from the get-go in audition week. They weren’t just singing them the way they were sung by the people who originally recorded them. They were kind of taking some risks, and I like that. And maybe that is because of Adam.”

Congrats Adam!

Pop star Adam Lambert says that he enjoys making out with girls from time to time. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

The illustrious singer and “American Idol” runner-up said that he is open to experimenting with his sexuality.

He said, “I like making out with girls from time to time. I have this curiosity at the back of my mind. I’ve never had sex with a woman and I’m a little bit curious about it.” (continue reading…)

What do you think of the new look that 30-year-old former ‘N Sync singer Lance Bass was sporting recently? The photos were taken by Mike Ruiz. You can check out more of his work of his official Facebook page.

It’s almost as if he’s channeling Jared Leto and Adam Lambert. Too much guyliner.

What say you? Do you prefer a more clean-cut Lance or this glammed up version?

Adam Lambert talks about his fashion inspirations in issue #17 of “Vman” magazine, which is set to hit newsstands on Thursday.

He is featured in the publication’s “How To Dress Like A Pop Star” section and he spoke about where he finds his inspiration. (continue reading…)
