Adam Lambert Talks of Idol, The Grammys and His Next Album At The Grove – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS

Grammy-nominated Adam Lambert was at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA Wednesday for an interview with Extra TV where he spoke about The Grammys, his next album and of course, American Idol and Simon Cowell.

Lambert, who is nominated for a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, spoke highly of the musicians nominated alongside him. “Bruno Mars, who I love, he’s fantastic. The legend, Michael Jackson. Amazing. I can’t believe I am nominated in the same category. That doesn’t…that doesn’t feel right! He’s such an influence and a legend and an icon for me. Also John Mayer and Michael Buble.”

As any die-hard Glambert fan knows, Adam will release Glam Nation Live (19 Recordings / RCA Records), a CD/DVD, on March 22nd. Shot in Indianapolis, Indiana at Clowes Hall on August 31st, 2010 and directed by Doug Spangenberg, the CD/DVD will feature 12 tracks plus a bonus cut and includes some of Lambert’s most beloved performances such as Ring of Fire, If I Had You and the Grammy- nominated Whataya Want From Me. About this CD/DVD, Adam said, “We filmed it in Indianapolis, Indiana, which seems a little random but that’s where I was born. And it is just a live presentation of what the show is all about.”
When asked about the new judges on American Idol, Adam gave them glowing reviews: “Steven Tyler, he’s a rock legend. He’s amazing. Amazing voice. Amazing sense of style. Sense of humor. And then, JLo. I remember when Waiting for Tonight came out. I was in high school and just jamming out to that song New Year’s Eve. She’s so glamorous and she’s been working in the business for a really long time.”
As for his buddy, Simon Cowell’s new show, The X Factor, Adam said, “I am excited for The X Factor. That should be very cool.” He also said that people probably miss having Simon on TV, and joked, “but I need a break!” To make sure we all knew he was joking, he continued, “I love Simon. He busts my balls, I bust his.”
Most importantly, Adam took time to promote charity:water, a non-profit organization for which Adam and his fans have already raised $285,210 as of the time of writing this article.  Charity:water’s mission is to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

Adam told Extra so much more, so, you will have to tune in to watch the entire interview and hear his words for yourself.

As a side note: I had a whole speech prepared to tell this rock star Idol of mine, and when I ran straight into him, all I could muster is, “Good God, You’re Adam Lambert!” And that, he is and so much more.

Thanks everyone for all the Re-Tweets!

Book Dishes Out All New Juicy Details On Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone With The Wind”

All you die-hard fans of Gone With the Wind out there, YOU know who YOU are!  There’s a new book out this month which  offers a fun behind-the-scenes look at this Hollywood classic and I know you will love reading every page of it!


Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind: A Bestseller’s Odyssey from Atlanta to Hollywood covers everything from how Scarlett got her name – did you know that she was originally called Pansy? – to what happened to the millions and millions of dollars the movie has earned in the seven decades since its release.

Although CelebMagnet tends to focus on living celebrities, Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind earns this honorable mention because it dishes so much interesting scoop on Hollywood icons of yesteryear like Katharine Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, and Hattie McDaniel.

And, in keeping with the spirit of CelebMagnet, the authors sort through many of the rumors that have circulated about GWTW over the years, debunking many of them. I love a good debunked myth, I do.
Also explored is GWTW’s famous open ending and what author Margaret Mitchell thought happened to Scarlett and Rhett after he said he didn’t give a damn. I mean, seriously, did he really not give a damn?
If you’ve ever wondered whether Scarlett won him back, you now know where to find the answer.
Oh, and, one of the authors of the book is a good friend of mine, Ellen Firsching Brown. She’s a really really really cool writer. You will love reading every single page of this book. I know am 🙂

Glee’s Lea Michele’s Cosmopolitan Cover Raises Eyebrows, Again

Lea Michele is making a name for herself. The 24-year-old Glee star earned some rave reviews for her rendition of America The Beautiful at Sunday’s Super Bowl, but has also raised some concerns, again, after revealing some skin on the March 2011 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. 
The Cosmo cover shows Michele in a black V-neck dress, with the cut dropping nearly to her belly button, and a tagline that reads: “Glee’s Good Girl Has Some Naughty Secrets.” 
There’s been so much backlash about the sexy cover that Cosmo editors issued a brief statement Monday to defend Michele.
“We’re thrilled to feature Lea Michele on the March cover of Cosmopolitan magazine and think she looks stunning. Michele is a grown woman and Cosmopolitan is a magazine is for adults. Enough said.”

You probably remember this is not Michele’s first time in the hot seat.  She received the same criticism when she and co-stars Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith posed for GQ‘s October 2010 edition in their underwear. 

Prince Asks Kim Kardashian To Get Off His Stage At Concert – Watch Video

Kim Kardashian has been Tweeting all night tonight about dancing with Prince while he performed at Madison Square Garden.

But the truth is from the looks of this video, the purple man actually asked Kim to get off the stage when she just stood there frozen!

“OMG Prince just pulled me up on stage!!! I’m shaking!!!!” Kim sent via Twitter.

“I was so nervous I froze when Prince touched me!!!!”

Guess things may have gotten better later because two hours later, Kim Tweeted: “Went up on stage AGAIN! This time I redeemed myself! We all danced while Prince played the piano! Wow! What a night!” I am looking for video proof of this dancing.

Kim was at the show with boyfriend Kris Humphries—but that didn’t stop Prince from pulling Kim om stage in the first place.

Want $5 Million? Enter Simon Cowell’s “The X Factor”

Simon Cowell picked the biggest audience in America to announce that he is back!

During Super Bowl XLV, Simon launched the commercial of all commercials announcing the debut of his new show, The X Factor this fall.

Today, Cowell topped his commercial by announcing that the winner of The X Factor will hit the highest jackpot yet of any televised talent competition to date: A cool $5 million record deal with Sony Music.

Unlike American Idol who has strict age limits on the contestants, you only have to be at least 12 years old to enter Simon’s new show. You can be old as dirt, and you still qualify.

Cowell said: “I like the idea that a 12-year-old on this show can compete with an older singer and a singing group. I’ve never believed there should be a cut-off age for talent, and we are going to put our money where our mouths are with the $5 million recording contract. I’m doing this show in America because I genuinely believe we can find a superstar.”

Auditions begin March 27 and will be held in Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, Chicago, New York and Seattle.
