Adam Lambert got a new honor this week. Out Magazine awarded him the Out 100 Breakout Honoree crown.  Out did a lengthy interview with the American Idol runner up and the Editor in Chief, Aaron Hicklin wrote an open letter to Adam (after the jump), sort of ‘outing’ him on another level.

SEE LADY GAGA NUDE FOR OUT HERE!

Here are highlights from the interview:

Out: Let’s start off by talking about Lady Gaga.
Adam Lambert: I saw those pictures in Out, the Halloween pictures. They were incredible! I’m so refreshed by her. I think she’s finally taking risks. Like where are those people? You know what I mean? I’m inspired by it. I’m like, “Yeah, f**k yeah. Let’s take risks.”

We all wanted those rumors that you would take Kanye’s place on that tour to be true.
[Laughs.] Not true. It would be really fun.

Would it be the gayest tour ever?
It would probably be. The audience would be amazing, probably, at that tour. It’s really funny to me because a lot of my core fans — people that went to the Idol concerts, and I glance at the messages boards once in a while — there is a surprising amount of them that don’t like her.

Really?
And I’m like, but — her way of approaching music is not that far off from what I’m trying to do. She’s doing what the club kids are doing and making it like, Top 40.

What has that inspired you to do?
Definitely just to take risks. Sonically, the actual style of her music is, like, club music. It’s not necessarily as avant garde as she’s presenting visually, but that’s what makes it so genius. It’s a song that everybody loves and she’s getting to play dress up and doing whatever the hell she wants. Which, I think, is what it should be. It’s how you interpret it.

You can read the rest of the interview when you grab a copy of this month’s Out Magazine.  Read Aaron Hicklin’s open letter to Adam Lambert plus more pictures after the jump! (Read the article)

For Your Entertainment’s Adam Lambert broke up with his boyfriend, Drake LaBry.

“They’re still friends, and it’s totally mutual,” a source said. “They will still talk and see each other.”

“Adam is crazy busy right now getting the album done and squeezing in rehearsals.”

“They both felt this moment is too important for Adam to focus on anything else but getting this album out and having it be a huge hit,” the source added.

I know all the girls and boys are thrilled by this news.  The American Idol alum has been an all around sex symbol and I am guessing that Adam Lambert will get a whole new wave of bras thrown on his stage now.

American Idol’s Allison Iraheta is taking the music world by storm with her upcoming, debut album, Just Like You.  This sure to be hit album will drop on December 1st and is already raking in pre-orders.  It seems that the world didn’t get enough of Allison while she was on Idol and we all can’t wait for a nice, full dose of this amazing, rising star.

How hot is this cover?! (above)  I think it is perfect.  It is 100% Allison.  This is just what she needed, the perfect cover. It says a lot and one is so much easier on the eyes than fellow alum Adam Lambert’s For Your Entertainment cover….

Thanks to PopEater, we get a really fun look behind the scenes of Allison Iraheta’s album photo shoot.  I am loving this girl more and more.  Enjoy the video!

American Idol’s Kris Allen was supposed to have some tracks on his debuts album that included Chris Daughtry and Matt Kearney.  But, it looks like they didn’t make the cut.  I know that some fans will be disappointed after the hype on Twitter, but I think we will survive.

Kris sang a few songs from the album and even covered a Britney Spears song at the Miami Dolphins pre-game show on Sunday and the crowd LOVED it all.

Here is the track list for Kris Allen’s self titled, debut album coming out on November 17th:

1 “Live Like We’re Dying” (Steve Kipner, Andrew Frampton, Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan) (Produced by: Produced by Andrew Frampton & Steve Kipner)

02 “Before We Come Undone” (Kris Allen, Lindy Robbins, Greg Kurstin) (Produced by: Produced by Greg Kurstin for SK1 Productions)

03 “Can’t Stay Away” (Kris Allen, Lindy Robbins, Mike Elizondo) (Produced by Mike Elizondo)

04 “The Truth” (Pat Monahan, Toby Gad) (Produced by Toby Gad)

05 “Written All Over My Face” (Steve Kipner, Andrew Frampton, Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan) (Produced by: Produced by Andrew Frampton & Steve Kipner)

06 “Bring It Back” (Kris Allen, Francis White) (Produced by Eg White for Spilt Milk Management)

07 “Red Guitar” (Kris Allen) (Produced by Mike Flynn & Warren Huart)

08 “Is It Over” (Kris Allen, Cale Mills, Mike Elizondo) (Produced by Mike Elizondo)

09 “Let It Rain” (Kris Allen, Tobias Karlsson) (Produced by Tobias Karlsson)

10 “Alright With Me” (Kris Allen, Joe King) (Produced by Mike Flynn & Joe King)

11 “Lifetime” (Kris Allen, Jon Foreman, Mike Elizondo) (Produced by Mike Elizondo)

12 “I Need To Know” (Kris Allen, Lindy Robbins, Toby Gad) (Produced by Toby Gad)

I cannot wait for this album!  I think this sound like a great set and Kris picked some great people to work with on this album.  Maybe the songs he did with Daughtry and Kearney will be released later on…a bonus album…something like that maybe?

American Idol’s Adam Lambert has an amazing video for the movie 2012 called Time For Miracles. It wasn’t supposed to be seen until Michael Jackson’s This Is It hits theaters.  But as usual, the video made it’s debut prematurely.

Have a look and listen,

So what do you think? Is this the Adam Lambert you know and love? Are you pumped for his album now? I think this movie looks emotional to be sure. The song is perfect, makes me choke up….

Adam Lambert didn’t win American Idol and it is really becoming evident that he didn’t have to in order to sell albums.  Lambert’s debut album hasn’t even hit store shelves and it won’t until November 24th.  But that isn’t stopping all the crazed Adam fans from supporting their guy and buying their copies in advance on Amazon.com.  Yep, Lambert’s album is in the number 2 slot for sales on the sight, Barbara Streisand is in first place.

Wow, I guess Adam Lambert has his career in the bag already.  Good for him.

Have you pre-ordered your copy or will you wait to hear some samples first?

Simon Cowell is finishing up getting his new contract for American Idol squared up with Fox.  It looks like Simon will be making around $45 million a year.  That will be $9 million MORE than he has been getting for previous seasons.  This will be a 2 year contract to take him through 2012.

On top of all that dough, Simon could see a lot more green if he comes to an agreement to bring an American version of The X Factor to The States.  This would end up more than doubling Cowell’s salary!  Eeek! He is almost finished with his last season as judge on the UL version of X Factor.  So, he would be free to judge here and there is even a rumor that Paula Abdul would be on the judge panel with Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh! Wow, that could be a big comeback for Paula!

I hope this happens!  I would love to have X Factor here!  What do you think?  Love it or hate it?

Y’all remember Justin Guarini, right?  He was the runner-up to Kelly Clarkson in the very first season of American Idol?  Oh, how far we’ve come since then!  Who knew there would end up being like 9,289 seasons of American Idol to follow?

Anyway, Justin and his sweetie Reina Capodici tied the knot Saturday night in Pennsylvania.  Their story is so cute:  they knew each other in high school, but they only started dating three years ago.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Everyone didn’t exactly jump for joy when they heard the news that Ellen DeGeneres is replacing Paula Abdul on American Idol.  The biggest beef has been that Ellen isn’t qualified to judge musical talent when she isn’t in the industry.  So on Tuesday (Sept 22nd), Ellen talked about the critics on her show,

“Apparently, there’s a lot of debate going on right now whether I’m qualified or not to be the new judge on American Idol,” she said. “… I know there is a lot chatter. I’ll tell you right now, how I know I’m going to be a great judge … I’ve spent my whole life being judged. So I know what it’s like.”

“So I will be kind. I will be compassionate. I will be empathetic, and I will be truthful. I will be an honest judge without being mean.

“But the things that people are saying…” she went on. “I thought America had moved past this. First, we have the first African American President. We’ve sworn in our first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. I think American Idol is ready for their first blonde judge … I do.”

Ellen continued with some funny jokes of course and is keeping an overall positive attitude about the whole thing.  I think she will be fine.  Anyone but Paula wouldn’t feel “right”.  But, that the price we fans pay for Paula leaving.  I don’t think anyone should come down on Ellen for accepting an amazing offer.  Who wouldn’t want to get that job?  It was weird enough last season when Kara came on, right?  But we got over that.  Ellen will be fine peeps.
