On TV Envy: VIDEO: Adam Lambert Brings Controversy to American Music Awards

Good Morning America Axes Adam Lambert Appearance

Adam Lambert's AMA performanceDespite the overwhelming split over whether or not Adam Lambert’s American Music Awards performance was too provocative for television, Good Morning America has canceled Lambert’s scheduled appearance for tomorrow.

“Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning,” a network spokesperson said.

I can’t necessarily blame them, considering I was appalled to wake up in the morning to be greeted by a very sexed-up Fergie performance on the Today Show. At the same time, there are huge Calvin Klein billboards in New York City that feature a half naked Eva Mendes (and men, for that matter) 24 hours a day!

Either way, CBS jumped at the opportunity ABC threw away, quick to book Lambert for their Early Show tomorrow. I wonder what the sexual singer will have in store for his daytime fans…

AMAs: East Coast vs. West Coast Experience

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, Specials, ABC, Video


If you live on the West Coast, you missed seeing J-Lo …not to mention a few other things. Because of the time difference, a few changes could be implemented for the AMAs as seen in California, a distinctly more polished version than the broadcast spied in the East.

Some of the saltier moments could certainly stand the editing which followed for PST viewers, but Jennifer Lopez getting tripped up? Why should such a moment be hidden from a portion of the watching audience? Well, the answer seems simple enough - to make J-Lo look good. According to ABC, “We did not expect the impromptu moment in question,” well, I should say so. “Execs and producers felt it was respectful to Ms. Lopez to edit the mishap for later time zones.”

VIDEO: Adam Lambert Brings Controversy to American Music Awards

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip, News, Video


I’m guessing this wasn’t the kind of “entertainment” ABC was hoping to see from .

At tonight’s , the American Idol finalist raised eyebrows higher than his own hairstyle. During an S&M-laced performance of “For Your Entertainment,” Lambert leads a male dancer around the stage with a leash, simulates oral sex and then later kisses a male keyboardist—all on live TV. (Just in case you hadn’t already heard—he’s gay.)

Although it’s unclear which portions ABC was prepared for, E!‘s Marc Malkin said the kiss was not the cards. “Very good source tells me that ABC and producers did NOT know adam lambert was going to makout w/keyboardist…” Malkin tweeted.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol

Michael JacksonIf there was a way for FOX to jump in on national news while simultaneously promoting Idol, they would. And they will.

Next week, the network will honor Michael Jackson’s death by rebroadcasting two hours that were devoted to the legend’s music. It was just this past March when American Idol’s Top 13 contestants performed songs from the singer’s library.

Would you like to see whip out the guitar for ‘Remember the Time’? Eager to hear Adam Lambert rock out to ‘Black or White’? Trying to remember if Megan Joy’s version of ‘Rockin’ Robin’ was really that bad? Then tune in this Monday @ 8:00 to relive it all again.

Adam Lambert Comes Out…Are You Surprised?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors

Adam Lambert on Rolling Stone

“I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear I’m gay,” said in his highly-anticipated Rolling Stone interview. Really, it isn’t. After months of photos featuring a glammed-up Lambert in the company of beautiful men, the real shocker would have been hearing him say he’s straight.

“Right after the finale, I almost started talking about it to the reporters,” he explained. Lambert went on to say he decided to wait for Rolling Stone, and that’s exactly what he did.

Adam Lambert on Adam Lambert

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors

Adam Lambert

“Keep speculating,” coyly told People magazine in a recent interview, when asked about the rumors and innuendo surrounding his sexuality.

“Conforming is not cool,” he said. “Embracing who you are and what makes you different is actually what’s really cool.”

Lambert, 27, became the runner-up on a mere matter of days ago. He was an early standout, an immediate judge favorite and the source of much media gossip during his tenure on the show. Now, the season is over but the Lambert fascination has hardly cooled.

The singer will offer up another interview in Rolling Stone, wherein he may or may not come clean about where his sexual preferences lie. “Maybe,” Lambert answered, when asked whether or not he’d lay his cards on the table in the upcoming issue.

American Idol 8: Finale!

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video

American Idol

Weeks of auditions, eliminations and memorable performances would finally culminate in a single evening of music and melodrama. Yes, it’s the finale of 8.

Various celebrities sat in the crowd as warmed up the episode. Almost 100 million votes were logged after Tuesday’s performance round.

A montage of Randy Jackson clips served as the dog’s intro, he who, for reasons quite beyond me, wore a bow tie for the evening. Kara DioGuardi moments followed, and I never realized she had such a tendency to use the word “sweetie.” She looked great for the evening, at least. The same can’t be said for Paula Abdul, who wore a hideous ensemble. Her clip showed her saying a lot of words, the meanings of which she likely doesn’t understand. Simon Cowell’s video tribute was, of course, the most entertaining of all.

The host then introduced the two stars of the evening: Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. The judges stood up for the men as they took the stage. Each wore white; both looked very different. The sound equipment was hardly functioning when the two touched based with Seacrest.

A gaggle of girls stood in Conway, Arkansas (Kris Allen country) to hear the results. Carly Smithson reported from Symphony Hall (what a sad gig), where Lambert fans gathered to await the final vote count. But each camp would sit through many more video clips, performances, and general hoohah before they would find out what they most wanted to know: who won?

Adam Lambert vs. Kris Allen: American Idol’s Finale Face Off

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip

Adam Lambert, Kris Allen

Who will win the crown? The question may be the same each May, but somehow the contestants are always vastly different. This year’s final two male finishers aren’t a bit like the David-David combination that became a staple of American Idol 7. So how do Adam Lambert and Kris Allen compare to each other?

Is it even possible to compare two such vastly different personalities? Lambert and Allen, this year’s Top 2, couldn’t be more contrasting.
