The Rolling Stone cover: Adam Lambert bares all

Yes, that's Adam Lambert striking a come-hither pose on the cover of the new Rolling Stone -- is it just me, or judging from his outfit, do we detect a major 1980s-era Prince influence? At any rate, it felt incredibly old-fashioned to see the "American Idol" songster deciding to tell all in Rolling Stone, as if it were still the 1970s and it was Led Zeppelin instead of the Jonas Brothers and Eminem getting all the breathless coverage at the world's oldest music magazine.

It's hardly a scoop for anyone who ever paid the slightest attention to "American Idol," but Lambert finally comes out and says it as plain as day: "I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay. Right after the ["American Idol"] finale I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, 'I'm going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler.' I didn't want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine [blather]. I need to be able to explain myself in context."

The biggest revelation from the interview? I guess it would be Lambert's confession that he had a crush on Kris Allen. "I was like, 'Oh [crap], they roomed me with the cute guy.' Distracting? He's the one guy that I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type -- except that he has a wife."

Adam looks so sexy and hot in that cover! Why didn't I see this issue when I went shopping before? When is it released? I need to see the pictures inside. I wonder if it's really provocative.

And that snake!!!!

Oh COMMON! Just because he thinks Kris is cute and his type doesn't necessarily mean it's a CRUSH! Talk about sensationalizing...

Seriously, haha thats funny he liked Kris. You could so tell the way he would hug him. Well the public eye can tell. They made them a couple name from the way beginning of the show. "Kradam". No offense i mean i dont think Kris is all the cute i think adam is way hotter. I if i was Kris i would be like. Oh Damn they roomed me with the hott guy. But i would say it happily. Adam deserves everything hes gettting, good wise. But if i were kris id be crapping in my pants right about now. Id be like what if he looked at me while he was taking a shower. What about that time, oh my god and that other time. Oh no. Hes really gay. the man is really gay. and he likes me. ME! oh my god what have i done. haha. now i bet thats exactly what kris is doing. im laughing soo freken hard right now.!

Adam is brilliant. He knows how the media wants to sensationalize the next news about Adam. Having a crush on Kris. Yeah, right. Next headlines on Adam, "ADAM LAMBERT HAD A CRUSH ON KRIS ALLEN."

Gay men are what they are - they always comment of the looks of another guy as if these gay men are girls themselves. So Lambert comments about the looks of Kris from a girl's point of view that he is nice, pretty, cute and totally the type for those who are the opposite of men. Adam just told all the girls that Kris is cute, hot and go chase after him. It is a form of gay-guy compliment to Kris rather than a crush.

I mean, I can say to a reporter that "Adam is cute guy. He's the one guy that I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type -- except that he is gay." I mean there a lot of men that are totally a girl's type.

SUCH AS Joe Jonas may be a GIRL A's type as well as Robert Pattison as this same Girl A's type as well as Spiderman.

I agree about the "crush:. That was the first thing I thought when I saw it. All he said was Kris was his type and cute..not that he had a full blown crush. What an exaggeration.

[Wldflower]

The crush comment was way overdoing it. All he said was Kris was his type and he was attracted, not that he had a full blown crush.

[Carlee]

LOL. So all the "cool" kids now come out in Rolling Stone do they? What a pile of crap. It's not like he was even in the closet so how does he come out of it? He comes across as trying too hard and a bit of a diva to me. Whatever dude.

[susan willians]

go ADAM,we love you!

[Blond Mom]

No work got done at our office today...as everyone was staring at that snake. Was it real or photoshopped. Oh...to be that snake!

Thanks for saying what I've been thinking but couldn't frame. Lambert is so dated it's like a bad nostalgia act. Do people really think this is new, inventive and creative? How sad when there are really deserving innovative artists - who needs a 1970s poser doing his version of "GlamRock - The Musical"
