In a preview of the infamous interview, Rolling Stone reveals that Adam: (1) admits he’s gay; (2) is “trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader;” and (3) auditioned for American Idol after a “drug-fueled Burning Man epiphany.”
Popsquire has three responses to Adam’s respective admissions: (1) duh; (2) maybe he’ll reconsider and join Drew Barrymore at the next anti-Prop 8 rally; and (3) he should be careful about admitting to engaging in illegal activity. Just a friendly, lawyerly observation.
PS: It’s illegal to sell python skin in California. Just a warning.
An Australian judge just tacked on additional jail time for Diana DeGarmo’s stalker.
In 2007, 23-year-old Tanya Maree Quattrocchi was sentenced to 150 hours of community service for cyber-stalking and blackmailing DeGarmo back in 2006, but she continued hacking into DeGarmo’s MySpace account and ended up in an Australian jail early this year. Now, a judge has sentenced Quattrocchi to 26 months in prison.

Like a typical lawyer, Popsquire loves a good feud!
[Bauer Griffin Online]
Following Clay Aiken’s comments last week he thought his “ears would bleed” while watching Adam Lambert’s rendition of Ring of Fire, Adam is firing back. “I don’t know Clay,” Adam tells Access Hollywood. “I’m glad he’s getting headlines now though, because he wasn’t before…If he wants to ride my coattails about it, good for him.”
If Clay’s ears weren’t bleeding, they’re probably ringing now.
Adam Lambert may be remaining silent about his sexual orientation, but the web is not.

And, that’s probably exactly how he wants it. While Perez Hilton calls him a “publicly closeted” singer and numerous other sites refer to him as “Glambert,” Adam encourages people to “keep speculating.” So, why doesn’t the media just say he’s gay, given all the pictures and video of him in drag, rubbing up against men, and kissing male partners?
The answer lies in the law, of course: in some states, it’s still considered defamation to reveal that a person is gay. But, would Adam really sue over a report that he’s gay? It seems highly unlikely. After all, he knows we know that he knows we know!
Janice Thibodeaux has the right to remain silent, but she’s not exercising it.
[Bauer Griffin Online]
In an interview from behind bars with Radar Online, Janice says she attacked Terri Seymour to get back at Simon for choking Paula Abdul on last week’s show. She says: “Nobody said anything about that so I wanted to confront him about it because that is not appropriate behavior, is it?”
Like a typical lawyer, Popsquire has prepared a short briefing of last night’s episode: (1) For once, Lil Rounds found the right wig/outfit combo; (2) Kara put Katrina to shame in more than one way; (3) Adam finally sang Queen; and (4) Kris lip synced the winning song.
As if the final song wasn”t enough to ruin the American Idol finale, a 33-year-old woman attacked Terri Seymour following last night’s show.

After asking whether Seymour was Simon’s ex-girlfriend, Janice Thibodeaux began grabbing Seymour’s neck and attempting to choke her. Thankfully, police reacted quickly, took the woman into custody, booked her on felony battery, and set bail at $32,000.
Prediction: If Thibodeaux does not have a prior record, she will plead down to a misdemeanor and avoid jail time.
PS: Choking Simon, maybe. But, Terri? That makes no sense!
eBay is featuring items for sale related to the final three Idol contestants, including an alleged lock of Adam Lambert’s hair as well as flasks, buttons, key chains, and mousepads with the contestants’ images. Access Hollywood reports that, as of yesterday, there were 662 items related to Lambert, 68 related to Danny Gokey, and 57 related to Kris Allen.
It’s time for these guys to fire off cease and desist letters. They are celebrities now (even if Gokey is a wedding singer), and random people should not be profiting from unauthorized uses of their images. Lawyer up, guys!
David Cook’s brother, Adam, passed away early this morning after an 11-year battle with brain cancer. In his memory, check out this emotional American Idol performance that Adam — who was a lawyer — attended.
Bill O’Reilly is very concerned about pop culture voting rights…
Watch as O’Reilly’s Fox News contributors convince him that Adam Lambert’s sexual orientation will not affect the outcome of American Idol. After conceding defeat, he asks whether illegal aliens are eligible to vote for American Idol. Kinda funny / offensive.
Just like Popsquire predicted, American Idol producers have decided to give the show’s judges the power to veto the will of the American people. Not good!
In an effort to save contestants like Chris Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson and Michael Johns, whom supposedly departed prematurely from the show, the judges now have the ability to save one contestant from now until the Top 5 remain.
While many fans may have been sad to see the likes of Daughtry and Hudson leave prematurely (no comment about Johns), it’s part of the show. If you don’t vote and your favorite contestant goes home, then it’s your fault. The judges should not be allowed to change the will of the American people.
Moreover, this rule may have the opposite effect from what the producers intended. If viewers are confident that the judges will save the Hudsons of the competition, then their votes may be placed for someone less deserving. As Bill Clinton would say, voting is very personal. Now, it also may become meaningless for American Idol fans.
