Parents: Adam Lambert Is NOT Your Babysitter!


ABC's Good Morning America passed on Adam Lambert but that didn't stop CBS from scooping up the crumbs.  Lambert appeared on The Early Show this morning to chat it up about his bump-n-grind fest at Sunday's "American Music Awards."  C'mon son.  You knew this would get you some free publicity. The trick worked!

UPDATE: Here's the performance.





Hmmm... you forgot the cameras were on?  We don't believe you, Adam, you need more people.

But, the bigger issue is... does the Lambert backlash count as discrimination?  The Britney-Madonna-XTina kiss was replayed over and over and their careers didn't suffer.  Is the Lambert backlash veiled homophobia?  What's your call?

By the way, here's the video for "For Your Entertainment"... since none of us could actually pay attention to the song on the AMAs!

The Fall Heard 'Round The World...


...or perhaps not.

ABC executives opted to remove Jennifer Lopez's fall from the American Music Awards' west coast broadcast out of respect. When asked about the tragedy, JLo laughed it off and told Ryan Seacrest:

"Did I trip a little bit? I don't even remember. Yeah, I meant to do that. You should know me better than that. That was part of the choreography."
I love huh! The 2002 Jenny from the block woulda cut a chick and meanmugged the stage for making her fall.  But not this older, wiser Jenny who dances in boxing shoes!

Now, Adam Lambert fell during his performance too, but all we remember was seeing him getting some pseudo-Becky anyway... unless of course you live on the west side, cuz that mofo got edited too!

Real Talk Mondays: LAMBO TIME


ABC says more than 1500 viewers called to rip them a new one over Adam Lambert's assaulting performance, last night. Clearly going for the controversy, Lambo got what he wanted. Couldn't he have done it in a less contrived, and rapey manner. Man that was the most rapey thing I've seen on TV in years. Between the high pitched wails and the crotch grabbing/shoving and full on face chewing. I felt like calling a hotline...777-TIPS or somethin'. I want to know how it is possible to be completely unsexy and uber sexual all the same time? To push the 'envelope', yet do anything with innovation.

Blah, it was boring to me when Madonna, Britney and The One Who Can Actually Sing, did it. It's just as desperate and boring 9080808 years later. Here's a tip. Singers? How bout you just sing ya gotdamn song? These grasps at relevance are tiring and contrived.

And before the homosensuals get all up in arms-- Love is love in my book I could have cared less if you had a wedding ceremony with your boo up there. But if you are gonna show up to sing. SING, MOTHERFOCKER, SING!!
