It's as if the love child of David Bowie and Samantha Fox joined an outer space Ice Capades league and -- more importantly in light of his recent questionable Details shoot -- it's gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay:

Yes it’s true: I spent yesterday in the studio w the insanely talented
and creative Lady GaGa recording a song that she wrote! I love her.Gaga wrote the song a while ago and she thought it would be a good
fit for me. It’s a solo track. I feel so honored and lucky to be asked.GaGa just gets it, ya know?"
-- Adam Lambert revealing that his new album will feature a song written by Lady Gaga via Twitter.
Picking up where Stephen Tyler left off, American Idol alum Adam Lambert is the next glam rocker in line to lend his pipes to a hyper-dramatic theme song for an apocalypse movie. The song, "Time For Miracles," which you can hear in the clip above, will be featured in the new John Cusack film 2012. The movie, also starring Amanda Peet, examines the much ballyhooed theory that according to the Mayan calendar, the world will end on December 21, 2012.
We don't really buy it (Y2K anyone?) but just in case, we're going to get our fix of Adam Lambert while we can: the soundtrack is out on November 10 (three days before the film hits theaters) and his solo debut album is set to drop on November 24.
American Idol revolutionized the music industry, yanking the task of crowning new pop royalty out of the hands of stodgy old execs and handing it to the common people -- the glorious, unrefined mass of us, clutching our cell phones in one hand and a Butterfinger in the other. So it was only a matter of time before the earth-shattering formula should spread to an industry that was perhaps among the oldest and stodgiest on the planet -- the cat show.
Gone are the days of highly esteemed professionals wielding magnifying glasses and measuring tapes to determine who the top cat is by their stuffy standards! History made at New York City's CFA Iams Cat Idol competition at the CFA-AKC Meet the Breeds event October 17-18, when for the first time a popular vote will determine the winning cat.
This is a new era of cat celebrity, one in which we, the people, have the power to democratically elect our favorite feline! (Is it any coincidence that the celebrity cat circuit is currently ruled by a Bombay who goes by the name Barack Obama?) Get over to the Javits Center, people, and do your civic duty.
Holy Christmas in September! Ellen DeGeneres has announced that she'll be filling Paula Abdul's recently vacated judge's seat on American Idol. "I don't know how it happened myself, but I have not missed one episode
of that show," she said on her talk show yesterday afternoon. "I love everything about
it and I love music, as you know. Hopefully, I'm the people's point of
view, because I'm just like you."
She assured her talk show viewers that she wouldn't be leaving them high and dry. "I'm going to have a day job and a night job," she said. "The times we're living ... in, we're all doing that." Stars -- they're just like us, only married to Portia de Rossi.
Sources say she's inked a five-year deal with American Idol, and simultaneously renewed her talk show contract through 2014.
It's no surprise that Adam Lambert fans are going crazy over him at every stop of the American Idols Live! tour. Just how crazy is another story.
Recently Adam chatted with Rolling Stoneabout the fact that fans have been throwing various, um, objects on to the stage. Namely, bras, studded underwear, whips, and yep, handcuffs. Adam seems to enjoy the attention, promising to pick them up as long as nothing is thrown at his face.
But the Fanberts (like that?) are taking it to a whole new level. Someone threw the mother of all sex toys at Adam during a recent concert. We're talking a full-sized dildo, which literally hit him. Check it out in the clip above.
For all you big city types breaking out in hives at the idea of sharing a row with screaming tweens and their cougar moms, here's why it's worth making the bridge and/or tunnel haul to one of those venues: America, it turns out, loves Adam Lambert. No, they really love him. Really really love him. At the show I saw last month at LA's Staples Center, and by all accounts of every stop in between through the South and Midwest, Lambert is the headliner of this tour in all but name (even winner Kris Allen said so).
You know the first time you went to a big Pride event, or a huge gay dance club, or, say, the Blonde Ambition tour? And you realized there were hundreds or thousands or maybe even a million other queers all around, everywhere you looked? Seeing Adam Lambert live made me feel like that, but flipped upside down and around a million times on a ridiculous roller coaster where nothing is what you expect. Being in a sports arena while a straight-up cross-section of mainstream America is screaming their fucking faces off for the queerest, kinkiest pop star since Madonna is a moment every 'mo should experience for themselves.
Kelly Clarkson, first season winner of American Idol and bona fide pop star, has just released the brand spanking new video for her third single, "Already Gone," from her album All I Ever Wanted. If the song sounds eerily familiar, it may be because you've heard it as the exit music when someone is kicked off of Idol's dance equivalent, So You Think You Can Dance.
As far as choosing singles goes, it's a respectable choice, though I would prefer she had released the much more dance floor ready "If I Can't Have You." Even so, it makes sense that she's chosen a slower paced song to complement the first two up-beat singles, "My Life Would Suck Without You" and "I Do Not Hook Up."
The song is typical Kelly fashion -- you know, angry P!nk-esque lyrics like "Didn't come to hurt you, now I can't stop." The video, though, is far more Britney-esque -- you know, lots of "Oh! Pretty!" and not much of anything deeper than that. But after all, it's mainstream pop, people! What more do you want?
Oh, and in case the video doesn't give you enough Kelly-fill for your day, never fear! She recently announced a tour that starts now and goes through December.
