American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert graces this month's cover of Rolling Stone. The article, titled Wild Idol: The Liberation of Adam Lambert, is actually quite interesting. For one thing, I'm an Adam fan. He should have one. The reason he didn't is because of his sexuality, which the article addresses, and the ultimate winner, Kris Allen, ended up getting the middle-American vote. Read about it here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,520989,00.html. Like Clay Aiken, Adam, the runner-up, came out post-Idol in the article. "I'm proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It's just another part of me." Speculation began when pictures of him sucking face with an ex in drag surfaced on the web. "Going into Idol, I assumed, 'OK, people are going to talk'. I mean, I've been living in Los Angeles for eight years as a gay man, I've been at clubs making out with somebody in the corner. But photographic evidence? Didn't count on that. Wasn't ready for that." He says he was inspired to try out for Idol after having a "psychedelic experience" with "certain funguses" at the infamous, eccentric Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. The article also chronicles his childhood, as well as his where his infatuation with elaborate costumes and black guyliner came from.
p.s. The snake heading towards his crotch is rather questionable...
