American Idol runner up Adam Lambert is tickled pink to be out of the closet. At this point I am asking myself what was the name of the dude who actually won Idol. Lambert has been kicking up a media storm and completely overshadowing whatshisname. (I am joking. I am sure Simon Cowell has some tricks up his sleeve for Kris Albert…Alred..er…Allen. Yes, Kris Allen.)

Adam scored the cover of Rolling Stone after having a small war Clay Aiken. The two exchanged catty comments and Clay was subsequently forgotten about. Lambert confirmed his sexuality in the magazine. It was obvious from the start the flamboyant Idol preferred men. He never hid his penchant for guyliner or swapping slobber with other guys. Several photos of him kissing other men and in drag left no real question. He explained that he didn’t come out on the show because he wanted people to focus on his singing ability.

“[It would have been] so sensationalized that it would overshadow what I was there to do, which was sing. It’s not like I was holding back before,” Lambert explained to Us Thursday. “I was being myself, but it’s nice to have everything out in the open.”

This is reassuring as I am not sure how much more flamboyant you can get. Aside from constantly wearing tail feathers and shooting glitter out of his eyes. Regardless, I say good for him. This was brilliant press for him and had he outed himself during the show I think it be a different Idol on the cover.
