Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are set to collaborate on a song writing project.

The two of them will be spending a lot of time together on the Idols Live tour, so they’ll have plenty of opportunity to come up with something fans will enjoy. (continue reading…)

In a recent interview with “Parade” magazine, Kris Allen was asked whether or not he thought Adam Lambert was stealing the spotlight. After all, Kris did win “American Idol”, but Adam landed the cover of “Rolling Stone” and people are still hanging on his every word.

Kris responded, “Adam is definitely one of those people who garnishes media attention. He’s different, and he’s something completely different from Idol and so I think he deserves all that stuff. And for me, I’m totally laid back and cool. Being on the cover of Rolling Stone, he had something to say and they wanted to be the ones to say it. That was his way to do that. I don’t have any problems with it at all. I think Adam totally deserves it. I don’t feel like he’s stealing my thunder.” (continue reading…)

David Cook was a guest on last night’s “Larry King Live” and he talked about how his brother, Adam, passed away at the young age of 37-years-old and how he’s coping with the loss.

He says that he has amazing people surrounding him and that his brother kept his sense of humor to the very end. He said that Adam never let his medical problems define him or become a personality trait.

He also discusses how he and his parents are coping and how they shared lawyer jokes in the family, due to Adam’s profession. He says that Adam discovered his illness when he was 26-years-old and that he held on longer than expectations. (continue reading…)

While talking to Chris Connelly on “20/20″, Adam Lambert talked for the first time on television about how comfortable he is with his sexuality.

He says, “It’s surprising, because I don’t think twice about, for example, my sexuality. I’ve been living this way for the whole time I’ve been in L.A. – for the past eight years. It’s a funny reminder that not everybody is as comfortable with it as I am.” (continue reading…)

David Archuleta wasn’t really surprised that “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert confessed his sexuality in the newest issue of “Rolling Stone”.

He says that he assumed Lambert was gay and thought everyone else did, too.

When asked whose album he was more looking forward to, Archuleta graciously said that he was really excited for both of them because “they’re both really different”. He went on to say that he looked forward to seeing them each week and that both Kris Allen and Lambert were both immensely talented. (continue reading…)

It was just a rumor before, but now we have confirmation that former “American Idol” contestant Allison Iraheta has signed with 19 Recordings and is having her albums licensed to Jive Records.

She said in a statement, “I think I’m still in shock that this is happening – getting to record my first album and this whole awesome experience is a dream come true!”

Is Danny Gokey next? He said, “There’s nothing to report just yet.”

I thought the point of winning “American Idol” was to get the record deal. Now all of the runners-up are getting signed, as well. Not taking anything away from their talent, but I thought the point was to win and get signed. Not lose the competition and still get a record deal.

Here’s a shocker: Adam Lambert is gay! Like we didn’t already know that, right? For the first time, after being in the public spotlight as the runner-up for “American Idol”, Lambert is finally kicking that closet door open.

In the next issue of “Rolling Stone”, Lambert says, “I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear I’m gay. I’ve been living in Los Angeles for eight years as a gay man. I’ve been at clubs drunk making out with somebody in the corner.”

Of making the big reveal, he says, “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. I’m proud of my sexuality.”

Of all of the attention from the opposite sex this season, Lambert says, “I loved it this season when the girls went crazy for me. As far as I’m concerned, it’s all hot.”

While there is much ado over Adam Lambert’s post-Idol career opportunities, his boyfriend, and the “speculation” surrounding when he’s going to officially “come out”, insiders say that he isn’t as nice to deal with as everyone thinks.

Behind-the-scenes chatter at many of the stops on Lambert’s publicity tour says that Lambert is nothing short of a diva and that he’s difficult to work with.

A source who’s worked with Lambert said, “He is such a diva. Rude to everyone – from fans right down to the lighting folks.”

Another source said, “A-list celebrities have come through here and been infinitely more polite.”

A music producer said, “No one sells that many records these days to be able to get away with that kind of behavior. To be a success you need literally everyone in your corner.”

Knowing that Lambert is a possible “diva”, are you still going to purchase his album upon its release?

Former “American Idol” contestant David Archuleta still has a few tricks up his sleeve for fans. In a recent interview, the Idol star revealed how down to Earth he really is.

He said, “I was amazed at how many people came to my concerts. I knew people liked me on ‘American Idol’, but I didn’t think they’d care to come see me sing at my own show.”

Archuleta is set to perform at an event at the Rio Tinto Stadium on June 6, 2009. Archuleta also revealed that he’s got two new albums in the works, one, a Christmas album.
