PHOTOS: American Idol Star Adam Lambert Fights With A Photographer

According to an eyewitness, Adam was partying on the beach with friends and was being photographed for a while, which seemed to wear on his nerves.

After about one hour, Adam asked one particular photographer to leave but the photographer told him that he couldn’t leave until Adam had left.

As Adam and his buddies packed up to go, the photographer was allegedly in front of them snapping pictures when Adam started chasing the photographer.

Wearing turquoise shorts, a tank top and black fingernail polish, Adam allegedly raced after the photographer and tried to grab his camera.

See the photos at Radar Online.  There are more photos HERE.

Adam responds, “They’re real good at provoking, but there ain’t any pics or video of the b.s. they spew out… Haha well… I lost my temper for a sec but wow it felt great lol MIAMI!!!” and “Hahha the photos are hilarious !! Lol please everyone forgive me for that hat. – I was attempting a disguise- clearly failed. Hahah”

Fantasia Interview Exclusive: Fantasia Talks About Healing In Public

In advance of the second season of Fantasia for Real (premiering Sunday, September 19 at 10/9c), we spoke to Fantasia Barrino about living her life as an open book both on and off VH1. Fantasia has told the story of her recent suicide attempt already and, as we revealed yesterday in our post about her run-in with TMZ, she’s not interested in talking about it anymore. But a single incident is not really what fascinates us about her, anyway. Rather, it is how she handled the situation — instead of running from controversy like so many other celebrities would via requests for privacy, she faced it head-on. That’s part of the bigger picture of Fantasia, the woman who lives life boldly through her music, her show and her interviews. As she tells us below, “The things that I go through come to make me strong, make me a better woman and they are my testimony. So I just give them my testimony.”

Lady Gaga, Pink Usher In New Age Of Pop Spectacle

Popular music has always been about putting on a show. From the psychedelic fantasias of 1970s rockers Pink Floyd to Madonna’s many Vegas-like tours, KISS’ relentless pyro attack, the boy-band glitter parades of the early 2000s and the over-the-top plans for Michael Jackson’s never-mounted This is It farewell shows, major artists have always tried to pony up a big show for their fans.

And now, thanks to a new generation of visually acute music stars, we could be living in a new age of the great pop spectacle. From Muse’s massive stadium light show to Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball outing and Pink’s Cirque du Soleil-like Funhouse Tour, artists are going above and beyond in an effort to give their fans a never-ending, eye-popping extravaganza.
