UPDATE: It appears James got in touch with Chris Daughtry. He tweets: (James reaaallly needs to shut up now. lulz)

Im stoked! Daughtry is advising me. It’s cool there’s someone who went through this exact thing that I can talk to! Thanks Brother! Just what he was thinking right after idol ended. And being on the road w/o your family how he copes! You can NEVER stop learning new things. Common grounds! :-) y’all get it. I don’t have to explain :-) And he’s a Christian I hear! That’s double points in my family’s book! Good people! :-)

James Durbin offered Adam Lambert an olive branch via twitter Sunday night after bashing the Season 8 runner up in several interviews.

@adamlambert Hey dude! Id really enjoy grabbing some lunch with you and just talking about all this Idol/Post Idol stuff! I could really use…Some one on one advice. Regardless of any supposed bad blood, Im calling truce :) Anyway.thats me. Glad your tour is goin great…direct message me if this is something that you might be interested in doing. Thanks for the consideration! :)-James…Have I shocked any DURBINATORS with that one? lol Adam was totally cool when we met! Just so yall know!

Adam responded almost immediately:

@JDurbinAI10 haha why don’t we just go ahead and discuss it right now over twitter? I’d be honored to advise… :) #nobadblood

James declines to discuss business over twitter,

“well as much as they’d love it..just as u don’t wanna spoil ur album, I don’t wanna spoil anything lol…you understand right?

Adam answers,

“oh I definitely understand.”

James suggests they get together

“just think about it. If youre free, hit me up. Im just not the “twitter business meeting” type. thanks anyway, brother. :-/ I’ll be in the LA area all month..you know the deal :)”

Adam’s all…affirmative!

“ok ;)”

I guess some of the Durbinators are all WTF, because James needs to calm them down!

“Durbinators! You know my intentions are good! I just wanna sit down w/ a fellow musician & talk about the business But twitters the only way…To ask that musician..”

So that’s that!  A truce has been called.  Will Adam and James get together for a little business talk? Hm. We may never know.

Oh, and in other news, James tweets that Idol tour rehearsals begin tomorrow (Monday).

eta: Is James reading here? lulz:

“for the record, I wish Daughtry could give me advice..That would be gooder than good :)”

Shortly after Adam told The Hollywood Reporter that he was “kind of over” James–a contestant Adam praised in the early weeks of Season 10–James began sniping at the Season 8 runner up in the press.

After the MTV interview, Adam responded via twitter, “in regards to Idol I’ve said way too much. Media turns non-personal, honest opinions into “feuds”…like mom taught:  ‘if u don’t have anything nice to say- don’t say it all’  sorry if I hurt any feelings- not my intent.”

    So was Heidi his activity therapist or life coach initially? I only ask because she seems older and more together than he is.

    But they kind of, sort of knew each other much earlier in life because their mothers knew each other in church.

    From what he’s said, she actually used to babysit him when he was little, and they didn’t initially recognize each other when they re-met years later.

    Heidi is 9 years older than James, and from the video clips in his backstory, she pretty much acts like his life coach/therapist in helping him deal with problems arising from the Asperger’s on a daily basis.

    Okay, like many, I thought James was a hypocrite when he declares himself Christian all the time and is not married to the mother of his child, but that fact changes my opinion a little. It’s entirely possible that Heidi, being older and more experienced, was simply reluctant to marry James who couldn’t even hold a job. Getting married requires two people willing to.

  • musicality

    Sounds like Heidi is more like playing the Mommy role. I can’t picture Heidi being all that great a catch. Sorry but the simple facts of life are if you are attractive, desirable and a good catch you wouldn’t saddle yourself with an unemployed guy with the emotional mentality of a 12 year old unless you had problems yourself. Don’t give me any of the she saw the good in him or some such BS. There are a lot of good guys are there with out all the baggage. Guaranteed Heidi comes with a hell of a lot of baggage herself. Guaranteed she has a lot of issues.

    sound a little like craddle robbing ;)
    just joking, I believe that when two people love each other, age doesn’t matter
    he needs somebody mature to take care of him and she needs to take care of somebody – perfect couple :D

  • JazzRocks

    I could be wrong but I thought I remembered that Daughtry’s wife is older than him. Something else they have in common if true.

    Yes she is just not sure how many years tho, good thing James got in touch with him!!!!

  • agathe.hb

    Miss Chaos, wow, how can she not be sure how much older she is? unless she is in deep denial?????? ;)

  • turquoisewaters

    Leave it to Durbin to make even the most fervently straight, Christian segments of his fanbase somewhat uncomfortable with his obvious attempts at fan-pandering.
    I cannot help but feel just a wee bit sorry for the guy. He just seems way out of his depth right now. Let’s leave his girlfriend out of this, though. I have a feeling she has enough on her plate as is.

    I think you have to read

    as
    Yes, she is (but I’m) just not sure how many years tho…

    …is it bad that i am hoping James will take a chance and tweet again.. maybe this time it will go better.

    You can’t help who you fall in love with … only what you do about it.

    I thought James was really popular during Idol but then he cried a bit and some of the people I know turned on him. (Scotty was crying like a baby during the finale but I guess that’s okay cuz 1. he’s younger than James 2. he is country and can get away with it?)

    But my reaction is who cares if James is a little different. Also, I’m not interested in analyzing his relationship with Heidi; I’ll leave that up to Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew :)

    My deal is this: You either like his music or you don’t. I’m not into his style, but I think he must have something going on or he wouldn’t have been kept in the competition that long. If I were into his music a few tears and a quirky personality wouldn’t be a hindrance.

    I hope James is able to do something with his career after the tour, but we all know it’s a long and winding road. It’s a treacherous business. And Daughtry might be able to mentor him, probably better suited for the job than Adam just because their musical and personal interests are a bit more similar.

  • zzatrms

    I’m with you revcat. I love James. If we were all the same it would be boring. Tears are honest emotion and I never have a problem with tears.

  • Axxxel

    I remember Adam admitting having a mini-identity crisis after the Idol finale… He wasn’t sure which direction to take when music was concerned… Maybe it is James’ turn to have that similar crisis…

  • soverymel

    I remember Adam admitting having a mini-identity crisis after the Idol finale… He wasn’t sure which direction to take when music was concerned…

    Actually I remember hearing that Adam went into his first meeting with RCA with an actual mission statement on what he intended his first album to sound like, that he was sort of amusingly well prepared. I think the moments of uncertainty Adam talked about in the interview were about if he was doing the right thing, not being undecided about which direction to go. And basically every single interview Adam gave from the minute he walked off the Idol finale stage gave the same description for his album, a hybrid of pop with electro and rock elements.

  • smeggingnuts

    Maybe it is James’ turn to have that similar crisis…

    In James’ case I don’t think it will be “mini” he is way to emotionally unstable for a mini crisis. Hopefully his support system can help him deal. Not dogging him either just saying some people don’t deal well with strong emotions and you can tell James is one of those.

  • weareallinnocent

    I guess I missed the part about fans abandoning James over a few tears? I’ve never been a fan, but certainly wouldn’t be bothered by a crying rocker. As a diehard Cook fan, how could I be? lol :-)

  • MayMirabella

    I have this picture in my mind of Chris Daughtry somewhere saying to himself…Why Me? I will tell James one bit of advice..Stop Tweeting !! Get off Twitter !!!

  • MayMirabella

    James would benefit from hiring a PR person to handle his communications. Or his girlfriend could assume the duties and advise James to stay off twitter and she will take care of that for him.

    He really does need a PR person to take charge and limit his communications and mentor him before interviews.

    I’m with you both. I’ve had a soft spot for him from the beginning, and I absolutely love his voice. It makes me sad to see all the ridicule for him, but doesn’t change my feelings one bit, and as far as I can tell he’s got a very strong fan base. He is so talented I want good things for him. I’ve downloaded every one of his songs on itunes – like some better than others, but I wanted them all.

  • Debb

    You people are cruel-if you don’t like the guy then just leave him be. Why do you have to rip someone to shreds. He is a Sweet guy with a lot of talent and he will be successful. His condition makes him socially awkward so if he doesn’t tweet the way you want him to then don’t read it. I am sure Adam will not give any mind to any of this nor should you. I am a big fan of both & will continue to support James. I hope for only good things for him.

  • Karalyn

    I’m sensing growing frustration among Adam fans because they have been on a campaign for months now to turn people against James, and it’s obviously not working. I don’t know who coined the phrase “Glambullies” – I’ve seen it used quite a bit lately – but that phrase fits perfectly. There are actually Glambullies who follow James on twitter and take the time to go to his online videos just to post nasty comments. Adam has to be ashamed at how some of his fans are acting. If he’s not, then that says a lot about him too.
