Kris Allen and Adam Lambert’s Bromance

This week, “American Idol” runner up Adam Lambert shocked no one (except maybe a few tweens) when he announced in a Rolling Stone magazine interview that he was gay. Personally, I applaud Adam, Hollywood Life’s Young Hollywood Awards Artist of the Year, for not overshadowing the finale with his announcement and for also not waiting for years to announce the obvious, like former “American Idol” runner-up Clay Aiken. Adam said he had not regrets about coming clean with his sexuality and was happy with the magazine cover and title (“The Liberation of Adam Lambert”). If you watched the finale of … Continue reading →

American Idol News about Runner-Up Adam Lambert

Posted on by

It has been almost a week since Kris Allen was crowned the latest winner of “American Idol,” but so far, the majority of the news seems to be about the runner-up Adam Lambert. Clay Aiken had some not so nice things to say about the second place finisher in his blog, which only paying members can access. Right after the finale, Aiken said that Lambert’s version of the Johnny Cash classic “Ring of Fire” was “awful,” “contrived,” and “slightly frightening.” He also wrote that while listening to the performance, he thought his ears would bleed. He also went on to … Continue reading →

Who is Adam Lambert?

Posted on by

He is one of the most exciting “American Idol” contestants to grace the stage in years, but you may not know too much about Adam Lambert, one of the finalists that will be vying for the title next week. Actually, there isn’t a lot known about Lambert’s pre-Idol life. Yet, if he looks abnormally comfortable on the big stage compared to some of the other contestants, there is a reason. Not only is the 27 year old one of the oldest competitors this season (third place finisher Danny Gokey is 29 and tenth place finisher Michael Sarver is 28), but … Continue reading →

It Gets Better

I am one that was born to read bumper stickers. Nothing is more frustrating than to see an interesting bumper sticker that I can’t read. The other day, I saw one on the car in front of me that simply said “itgetsbetter.org.” I was hoping I’d be able to remember that address to look it up when I got home. It has been almost a year since Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi committed suicide by jumping from the George Washington Bridge after learning his roommate had secretly set up a web cam to broadcast his sexual encounter with another man. I … Continue reading →

Marie Osmond’s Son Commits Suicide and Stars Support Chile

When I think of the Osmond family, I always think of smiles. In fact, in the ’70s during the height of their popularity, people often made fun of them for their wholesome smiles. We learned a while back that those smiles were often used to hide sorrow. In fact, Marie Osmond named her 2001 book about postpartum depression “Behind the Smile.” Unfortunately, those smiles dimmed again this week as Marie’s 18 year old son, Michael Blosil, committed suicide Friday when he jumped from his eighth floor apartment. TMZ is reporting that Michael, a student at the The Fashion Institute of … Continue reading →

Celebs Offer Haiti Relief

Mary Ann and I have blogged about social consciousness as a part of green living and following the horrific 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, several celebrities are stepping up to help. Definitely putting their money where their mouths are (or in this case, their hearts) is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. While I would expect Brad and Angelina to donate – they definitely have a history of being an altruistic couple – I was very happy to read that they donated $1 million dollars to Doctors Without Borders. This team of medical professionals has dispatched staff, including surgeons, to Haiti to … Continue reading →

Is American Idol Rigged?

While the world waits to see if Paula Abdul will return to “American Idol” (she still hasn’t signed a contract even though the auditions for the next season start in early August), there is another “American Idol” storm brewing. The AI Now website had some past contestants conduct an online chat with viewers yesterday, but it seems everyone got more than they bargained for. Contestant Ju’Not Joyner was eliminated early on in the season last year, so I am not sure if he is being truthful or if it is just sour grapes, but he certainly had a lot to … Continue reading →

Is there a Kris Allen Scandal Brewing?

Posted on by

If you watched the season finale of “American Idol,” you may have been shocked that low keyed, humble Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert, the obvious forerunner since – well, about the first day on the big stage. Oddly enough, Kris Allen was surprised when Kris Allen was named the newest American Idol. Now, the New York Times thinks Allen had a little extra help from AT&T in winning the title. Some fans in Arkansas could use their mobile phones to cast blocks of votes for Allen. However, AT&T didn’t provide the same option for Lambert’s fans. Maybe AT&T thought he … Continue reading →

American Idol’s Underdog Kris Allen

Posted on by

Kris Allen snuck into the final thirteen of “American Idol.” I don’t remember seeing his original audition or much, if any, of him during the famed Hollywood week. When he was announced as one of the top thirteen, I think a lot of people went “Huh?” But, Allen has proved his worth by making it to tonight’s finale. Call him the Little Singer that Could. Allen has outlasted everyone else except powerhouse Adam Lambert to make it to the finale. Allen and Lambert’s styles are quite different. Allen looks humble up on the stage no matter what he is doing, … Continue reading →
