Adam Lambert – what are his options?

http://riosoriano07.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/adam-lambert-01-2009-02-25.jpg

What are the options for Adam Lambert? After losing to Christian magazine supporter Kris Allen, what can he do? Here are some of the best suggestions from Rolling stone:

• Fill the vacant front man spot in Queen

Over the weekend, RollingStone.com’s readers suggested Lambert would be the perfect candidate for Queen’s suddenly open job. Lambert did just that on last night’s finale, performing “We Are the Champions” with Brian May and Co. during what may have been a de facto audition. But Michael Slezak, Entertainment Weekly’s Idol writer, points to Chris Daughtry, who was courted by Fuel following his Idol dismissal four seasons ago, and says Lambert should take his own path. “The powers that be at 19 Entertainment and the labels that get first dibs on him are going to want to see him establish himself as a current, relevant recording artist, not a replacement on a reunion tour,” he says.

• Take on the task of reviving glitter rock

Lambert has already earned the title “glam-rock sex god” from our own Rob Sheffield, and Slezack thinks Adam is likely to embrace the sort of fist-pumping spandex-wrapped sound that grunge killed off in the early 1990s — the kind of music Constantine Maroulis currently sings in Broadway’s Rock of Ages. “There’s a lot of good vibes towards glam rock music from a certain segment of, say, 25- to 45-year-olds, who dig that sound and wouldn’t mind hearing it return to the radio,” Slezack says. “I think he has more in common with Cinderella and Winger and Mötley Crüe than Daughtry or Nickelback. He has more of a hair-metal vibe to his voice than he does with anything that’s happening in current rock radio.” MTV News Idol expert Jim Cantiello agrees: “I think the smartest thing for him to do is get into the studio and put out a crazy, funky glam rock album that we haven’t heard in decades, and go all out with it,” Cantiello says. “I think it would be cool if he put out a record that sounded like Brian Eno could have put it out.”

American Idol – The last episode

http://www.americanidolringtones.info/images/americanidol.jpg
Watching the last episode of Idol is one sad experience. It is the last of the season and as it is, it comes with expectations that the show will be grand in every stage.

Here is a list of the things that happened in the final episode of this year’s Idol on fox:

Allen was joined by Keith Urban on "Kiss a Girl," while Lambert performed with Kiss. The female finalists, including Allison Iraheta, opened up for Fergie, who sang "Big Girls Don't Cry" and then was joined by her group, the Black Eyed Peas.

Iraheta later dueted with Cyndi Lauper on "Time After Time" and Danny Gokey joined Lionel Richie for two tunes.

Rod Stewart sang "Maggie May" after the male finalists opened for him with "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy."

An offbeat guest was Steve Martin, the actor-comedian who also specializes in the banjo. He played his song "Pretty Flowers" with finalists Megan Joy and Michael Sarver on vocals.

Asked by Seacrest to guess who might win "American Idol," Martin replied: "I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping I do."

Christian magazine cover boy Kris Allen rose to the occasion during Tuesday's performance show, especially with his soulful version of "Ain't No Sunshine." But he was tripped up by "No Boundaries," a song co-written by judge Kara DioGuardi and ill-suited to his voice.

Lambert did a better job with "No Boundaries" and excelled on his reprise of "Mad World" and on "A Change is Gonna Come."

"That was the best I've ever heard you sing — ever!" exclaimed Abdul.

Miss California Carrie Prejean answers her detractors

Last week in a pres conference, Miss California Carrie Prejean answered different questions about her racy pics that are flooding the internet.

"I am a model, I am a Christian. Many of you are aware of an Internet photo that was posted of me when I was 17 years old and first entered into the modeling industry. A girlfriend took some shots of me at home to include them in my portfolio, which were submitted, to several different agents. As the photo was intended for application rather than publication and I did not and I did not anticipate anyone was in a position to release such an image."

"The photo in question was taken was I was a minor, several months before the 2005 pageant," the note, dated May 5, 2009, read. "The photo was not meant for disclosure to the general public."

Access Hollywood obtained a copy of her contract and published the following findings:

According to page 15 of her Miss USA contract, obtained by Access Hollywood, she was barred from being "photographed in a state of partial or total nudity."

A christian magazine also noted that Prejean's contract with Miss California USA also prohibited nudity, stating on page five, "appearing in public or permitting myself to be photographed in a state of partial or total nudity or in a lewd, compromising or sexually suggestive manner constitutes a violation of this provision (this includes photographs of images that may appear on any Web site, such as MySpace of Facebook)."

Prejean told Access two weeks ago that she felt targeted because of her stance on traditional marriages, saying, "I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures including lingerie and swimwear photos."

Lindsay Lohan the party crasher

Lindsay Lohan apparently loves to have a good time – even on parties that she is not invited. Reports from Foxnews.com said that the 22-year-old was denied entry into the launch party for Charlotte Ronson's JCPenny line at Bar Marmont on Friday. We're told security was under strict orders not to allow Lohan inside and that it took several guards to hold her back at the door.

The christian magazine report also said that when Lohan couldn't party at Bar Marmont she then snuck into the bungalow area of the Chateau and went on a door-knocking rampage. The actress obviously heard word of an all-girls night in and even though she didn't know the party peeps personally, she wanted to be part of the action.

"There was a knock-at-the door and Lindsay Lohan was there," an eyewitness told Tarts. "She was as orange as a carrot and her pupils were as big as quarters. She looked awful!"

Apparently the 22-year-old introduced herself and said "Let's party!" but even when the ladies tried to close the door on her she continued to push back. Eventually the annoyed guests locked the door, but our girl stayed pounding away for another minute before (finally) getting the hint and moving on.

Lohan eventually turned to Twitter for comfort after the night fell flat, reportedly tweeting on her private page about how her DJ lover had been turning-the-tables with other ladies.

As usual, her rep is being mum about this. Lohan should take lessons from Molly Jenson on how to stay grounded.

Will I Am Bio - How he got started



This is a truly a great man. Will I am or William of the black eyed pees has a very impressive career. Check out the Will I am bio I got from wikipedia:

His real full name is William Adams. According to a christian magazine, he was born March 15, 1975. His stage name is currently will.i.am but he was formerly called Will 1X (for the life of me, I haven't figured out what the one X stands for.) He is a Jamaican American and has been awarded both an Emmy and a Grammy, now that is impressive. His music is hip hop, he is a dancer, songwriter, rapper, voice talent, and the founding member and frontman for the BEP act. He now has his very own music label.

This guy is my idol. His hit songs are heard everywhere. He even helped John Legend co write the Ordinary People piece which is such a big hit. The Will I am bio will be continued next post.

Tom DeLonge blink 182

We all know Tom DeLonge blink 182 from blink 182 even after the band has disbanded. Well, apparently the three of them are back in action. Tom DeLonge blink 182 along with his band mates appeared in the 2009 Grammy awards and congratulated Coldplay. They presented to Chris Martin and crew, the best rock album of the year award. Drummer boy still had his arm in a cast.



Here's my favorite quote from Tom DeLonge blink 182 coming from a christian magazine

"We really take our music seriously and we take the band very seriously. But we have a lot of personality. So if we`re going to write a song about kissing a girl, we`re gonna write it. And people think we`re a funny band, but we`re just realistic, we put our personality into our lyrics."

of David Duchovny and World Hip Hop Champions


There a new group crowned the World Hip Hop Champions. And they might give even the famed Jabberwokees a run for their money. Plus, these world hip hop champions are Filipinos to boot. I saw them perform and was really astounded by their freshness and originality. Kudos!



On a sad note, a christian magazine reported that David Duchovny and his wife Tea Leoni have now officially divorced. If you ask me of course, the X-files, Californication, and Red Shoe Diaries star had it coming. He was a "sex addict" whatever the hell that meant. I would say that meant that he could not say no to the alien in his pants.
