WHICH ADAM LAMBERT DO YOU PREFER?
Filed Under: Adam Lambert > American Idol > Photo Play > Rockabilly
Details magazine saw something in American Idol’s Adam Lambert that we never noticed before. We knew he was cute, but he’s really sexy when he’s done up as a 50’s kind of rockabilly rebel James Dean type. In fact, he’s a knockout. Which way do YOU like him best?

The nominations for the American Music Awards brought out some noteworthy looks. Paula Abdul seems to be everywhere these days and it looks like she rummaged through her closet and resurrected her 1980’s “Forever Your Girl” look. We could swear we’ve seen that hat and jacket and jewelry before. But she still wears it well. Adam Lambert seems to be trying to finagle a role in one of the “Twilight” movies – he ‘s got the sly vampire look down pat.

ADAM LAMBERT’S GOT A NEW LOOK

The longer hair and giant sunglasses ALMOST render Adam Lambert unrecognizable. But the paparazzi caught him walking out of a Beverly Hills doctor’s office carrying a little bag of free samples. He just got back into town after being on the road with the American Idol show.

REVEALED: FOX MADE ELLEN DEGENERES AN OFFER SHE COULDN’T REFUSE
Filed Under: American Idol > Ellen DeGeneres > Paula Abdul
We have solved the mystery around Ellen DeGeneres’s unexpected new job as a judge on American Idol! The announcement that Ellen was replacing Paula Abdul came completely out of the blue – she had never been previously mentioned. And here’s why: Fox has had their eye on Ellen for awhile because they want her to host a late-night talk show. Fox executives lured Ellen with a lucrative package – she’ll appear on American Idol now and in five years she will debut her night time talk show on Fox. She couldn’t resist THAT combo

AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE AND FORMER CONTESTANT EXCHANGED MORE THAN GLANCES

American Idol is a hotbed of gossip since Ellen Degeneres was abruptly hired to replace Paula Abdul. When noteworthy former contestant Constantine Maroulis and Idol judge Kara DioGuardi spotted each other across the catwalk at a New York fashion show, they just HAD to have a chat. Constantine was very curious about Kara’s take on the situation, but Kara seemed far more interested in texting- or is she taking his phone number?

ELLEN DEGENERES GRABBED PAULA ABDUL’S JOB ON AMERICAN IDOL
Filed Under: American Idol > Ellen DeGeneres > Paula Abdul
Ellen Degeneres has been officially hired as the fourth judge on American Idol, leaving Paula Abdul out in the cold, moaning “What did I do wrong?” (Honey, you asked for too much money!) Ellen says she will be “the voice of the common people who are out there watching the show on TV.” But she’s way more than that – Ellen is smart and showbiz savvy and her quick wit will give Simon a run for his money. Finally, producers hired someone who already has a huge following – Ellen will revitalize the ageing series.

POLICE OFFICER HAS NO PITY FOR PAULA ABDUL

Paula Abdul looked like she was walking on air at LAX this weekend. You’d think she didn’t have a care in the world. (Maybe she doesn’t. We still maintain that she will return to American Idol.) She was NOT happy to find a police officer writing a ticket for her limo driver. Paula turned on the charm, but the cop wouldn’t budge. He obviously had no sympathy for her career dilemma.

DO YOU REALLY THINK PAULA ABDUL IS LEAVING AMERICAN IDOL? PUH-LEEZE!

We don’t. We don’t care WHAT Paula tweets. She moaned “With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to Idol.” Haul out the violins. We think it’s another carefully orchestrated drama and both sides are enjoying the resulting publicity and attention. It’s all about the MONEY! Paula wants 20 million and Idol producers are giving her a hard time, but both sides will give in and reach an agreement. (Can you really imagine the show without unpredictable Paula?) Meanwhile, they’re both thoroughly enjoying the uproar.

PAULA ABDUL CAN DO NO WRONG

Paula Abdul SHOULD look happy – money just keeps piling up in her bank account. TWO Las Vegas casinos are in a bidding war to obtain a talent and variety show she’s pitching. Paula plans to produce a music and dance extravaganza similar to the Cirque du Soliel, but SHE will only appear occasionally onstage. According to the Enquirer, she’s been talking to The Venetian hotel and Steve Wynn’s Encore and both are offering tens of millions of dollars for her services. The rich get richer.

ADAM LAMBERT: EYELINER MAINTENANCE CAN BE A DRAG

Adam Lambert, pictured here with his boyfriend Drake LaBry, is tired of painting on his trademark black eyeliner over and over again and keeping it touched up all day. According to The Enquirer, he toyed with the idea of getting it tattooed on (like Michael Jackson.) His family and manager quickly pointed out that the eyeliner might be fine onstage, but could look awful on the big screen and keep him from getting the movie opportunities he hopes for.

American Idol Kelly Clarkson (pictured above in Sydney, Australia) is starting a major concert tour this month. She has been quoted saying “I like my butt. I like putting on my jeans and filling them out.” We don’t believe her for a minute, do YOU?

American Idol finalist Adam Lambert must have felt like a million bucks when he went back to his high school for homecoming weekend. There was a parade and all kinds of festivities when Adam returned to his alma mater, Mount Carmel High School, in San Diego. The mayor even presented him with a plaque that said “Adam Lambert Day.” Adam was dazzled by the attention. We wonder if Adam was anywhere NEAR as popular in high school as he is now.

AMERICAN IDOL CONTESTANT ADAM LAMBERT REINVENTED HIMSELF

There’s no doubt about it – American Idol frontrunner Adam Lambert is a self made man. When he graduated from high school in San Diego in 2000 he resembled a beachy blonde Brad Pitt type. Apparently he soon realized that blondes who are male, do NOT necessarily have more fun, so he gave himself some pigment – and a lot more personality. Smart move.

NEW BOOK: WHAT AMERICAN IDOL DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW
Filed Under: American Idol > Paula Abdul
A publishing source has been hearing rumblings that a former American Idol employee is shopping around a tell-all book could prove embarrassing to the show. The author claims that certain contestants are pre-selected “plants” and these “chosen few” bypass the usual process by skipping the early audition rounds and are ushered right to the front of the line. The former employee also says that contestants are strong-armed into singing certain songs. Producers know that if a contestant sings a song that’s not well known or appropriate for their style, they’re more likely to be voted off, so essentially they can control the voting process. Naturally Paula Abdul provides plenty of fodder – allegedly she travels with “two gallon size ziplock bags full of orange prescription bottles.” And that’s just the beginning.

David Archuleta is doing his part to stimulate the economy. He spent a few days back home in Florida and made a personal appearance at a local restaurant. The American Idol runner up posed for photos while he made pizzas at Vic & Angelo’s pizza parlor in Palm Beach Gardens, and afterward he put on a live concert for 500 fans (and potential customers) in the parking lot. His doting father can be seen keeping an eye on him in the background.

PAULA ABDUL AND THE LOVE OF HER LIFE

Paula Abdul is cuddling her Beverly Hills Chihuahua Tulip on her way out of a medical building. Paula, who seems to have trouble keeping her balance at times, fell flat on her face and nearly broke her nose awhile back when she tripped to avoid stepping on Tulip. At least that’s how the story goes. It’s obvious that Paula is devoted to her pet.

MILEY CYRUS INVITED DAVID ARCHULETA TO HER BIRTHDAY PARTY

We’re assuming the fans who paid $250 to get into Miley Cyrus’s early birthday party at Disneyland last night got their money’s worth. It wasn’t a very intimate party – with 5000 people (some invited, some bought tickets) – but both Miley and her father performed for the crowd. We were especially interested to see that Miley made a point of inviting American Idol runner up David Archuleta. Last July we told you Miley has her eye on David – she thinks he’s really cute AND talented and wants to work with him. In a party crowd that size however, it’s unlikely they had any time together.
