Would have preferred Adam's keeping the light touch as he did before - saying something like: "Tell Gene I appreciate his fatherly advice." Or, if Adam preferred to remove more than just one and go for the set - "grandfatherly?" Basically, a big nothingburger.

He didn't have to add that Gene cannot sing. He seems to oscillate between being a cool-headed business man and having a devil-may-care, crash and burn approach to his career. The risk-taking is admirable when it comes to his artistic integrity and his image (go buy the other guys CD if you don't approve of his style, sexual preference or the sexuality he brings to his performances) but he needs to be careful of not getting a reputation of being arrogant or someone who is can't keep his emotions in check.</blockquote> It's hard not to agree with this. Celebrity feuds are guaranteed to get you some press, but they usually end up making both parties look like asses to the public. Stiill, I sometimes wonder if he doesn't just say controversial things to get attention. It's something Madonna and certain other celebs have done, and it doesn't seem to have hurt their careers any.

As fans, we all know the whole Gene Simmons back story. We've seen Adam talk about having a hard time as gay teenager. We also know that Adam is a combination of salty and sweet: sometimes playful and snarky, but mostly gracious, friendly and professional. We've been following him for all these months and have strong positive opinions about his character. New fans or more importantly, people in the industry don't have that yet. You have to look at these articles & interviews as if it were someone reading about Adam for the first time.

I guess that means his Album is #2 on pop even though it does not show that yet. Adam I now #11 on itunes overall charts…Jason Mraz went ahead of him.

Gossipcandy has them up at her site. It looks like Adam, Roger, and his PR person took in another party after the TV Guide gig. It looks like Adam and Samantha were just walking out at the same time, but it cracks me up how the angle of the pics makes it look like they were leaving together. <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/uacBxaZHt39/Adam+Lambert+steps+out+Samantha+Ronson/6QAp-y6Gb8m/Adam+Lambert" rel="nofollow">Adam and Sam Ronson stepping out</a> Have you all seen these?

Adam was so darned cute and the flirty eyes were enough to make me swoon. He seemed really relaxed, rested and ever so natural. Beyond cute. I don't know who the other guy is, but they definitely had a thing goin' on with the nail polish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfbetDVavh0
