American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert sat down with writer Fred Bronson for a wide-ranging interview. In Part One, Lambert talks about his early musical influences.

We know from watching “American Idol” that you were raised in San Diego, but where were your parents living when you were born?

Craig Ferguson takes a piss out of Peter Travers on Huge Douchebag Day

Teeehee, I love Craig Ferguson, especially during “huge douchebag day”. And when you have Peter Travers, Rolling Stone with references to the Rolling Stone cover and karaoke singing, I simply have to post this :P :

Thoughts on the 20/20 interview with Adam Lambert

Can I say I’m slightly disappointed with the 20/20 interview that was broadcast? It felt… truncated, and like a repeat of what we already knew from the RS interview, other than the fact that we can actually see his bubbly personality on TV which we don’t get from print? And poor Neil got shafted! The online stuff was honestly so much better! To think I sat through half an hour listening to a report on the Amanda Knox case.

I really like Chris Connelly though. Unlike female interviewers who typically go gaga (like me), he’s mostly calm and collected in the interview and asked some nice questions (which unfortunately didn’t make it to the final TV cut). But I loved the part where he bursting out laughing on the snake issue (just like how Slezak couldn’t contain himself in the Idolatry interview about the Bob McKenzie showroom drag queen comment, or where Matt Mitovich chuckled to himself with the pink elephant comment). The dude has charisma.

On the bright side, some new findings gleamed from the broadcast interview:
1) He’s singing Fame by David Bowie(!!!)
2) The tour wardrobe looks awesome.
3) The new haircut really works.
4) How the f—k does he lose weight so quickly?? I need tips.
5) He rocks out and blows other regular performers away even at rehearsals.
6) He was totally flirting with the guy in the Skingraft store.

Anyway as usual, the hardworking people at Youtube already have the broadcast interview up:
