Adam Lambert is Seeking SYPB

June 3, 2010


If Adam Lambert were to place an online personal ad, he clearly would not be seeking a SWF with whom he could go on long beach walks.

Instead, in an interview with Frontiers magazine, the singer makes it clear that he’s interested in a SYPB. What does that stand for? By the end of this article, you should be able to figure it out…

On the pressure of being an openly gay musician: The thing I keep telling myself whenever the pressure starts looming is that I’ve been doing what I’ve always done, just on a larger scale now, so it’s not so bad! The opportunities that have come from American Idol are amazing.

On current musical influences: I love a lot of the electronica stuff from the UK – Ive been gravitating toward that lately. I had my moment when I was all about the classic rock years back, but lately it’s more about pop-electro stuff. I love Goldfrapp, La Roux. And all of the American pop divas, of course: Gaga, Christina, Madonna, Rihanna. I love all of them.

Adam Lambert for Frontiers

On the reception he’s received: At first I didn’t know if the gay community was really into this or not, what I’m doing. And then slowly but surely I was traveling internationally and domestically and met a lot of gay men and women who were really excited about what’s going on with my record and what I’m doing, and it feels really nice for my community to acknowledge it.

Lambert was then asked if he’d rather sleep with Ryan Seacrest or Simon Cowell, a hilarious question. His response:

Ew. Neither one of them is my type at all. They’re both too old for me. I like pretty boys in their early-to-mid twenties. Make sure you print that.

We’ve done so, Adam. Single, Young, Pretty Boys, consider yourselves lucky!

Suri Cruise Busts Out a Freaking iPad at Dinner


As if 100 different shoes, a Barney’s wardrobe, an $850 purse and eating only with chopsticks weren’t ridiculous enough, Suri Cruise just got her very own iPad!

According to a hilarious report, Suri not only has one, she playsed with the thing while at dinner at Il Cantinori in NYC, too. These celebrity kids. Just no respect.

An eyewitness says Suri put her stuffed animals aside to use a drawing program on the expensive piece of equipment while Tom and Katie chatted with friends.

The Scientolospawn, who just turned four, played with the iPad for about 20 minutes before the family headed out of the restaurant just before midnight.

Definitely an appropriate bedtime for a toddler.

Stylish Suri

Suri Cruise … so stylish and tech-savvy.

According to reports, iPads are sold out in many locations and the waiting list keeps growing for the new product, of which 2 million have been sold since April 3.

Good to see Suri is up on the trends. We just hope she gets Katie to show her how to sync the iPad up with her iPod, iTouch and iPhone … can get a little tricky.

Brad and David face off!


Move over Jen and Angelina — there’s a new celebrity feud making headlines. Ms. Jolie’s beau (and Ms. Aniston’s ex), Brad Pitt, is facing off against David Beckham in hopes that the U.S. will host soccer’s biggest event, the FIFA World Cup, in 2018 or 2022. “Soccer is a truly global sport and the opportunity to join the effort to have the U.S. host the world’s greatest sporting event again is a great honor,” the actor, who joined the board of directors of the committee hosting the American bid, said in a statement. But British soccer star David is, of course, rooting to bring the monthlong tournament “across the pond” — he personally handed over England’s bid in May, noting that “football runs through our veins.” Posh’s hubby is currently in South Africa watching the World Cup — and perhaps plotting to foil Brad’s efforts!

Betty White Speaks on Rue McClanahan Death


With the death of Rue McClanahan earlier today, Betty White is now the last of the Golden Girls. Losing her co-star this morning hit the octogenarian hard.

“Rue was a close and dear friend. I treasure our relationship,” White said in a statement today. “It hurts more than I ever thought it would, if that’s even possible.”

Rue McClanahan passed away at age 76 after suffering a stroke, following the deaths of costars Bea Arthur last year at age 86 and Estelle Getty in 2008 at age 84.

Betty White, who has experienced an unexpected but wonderful career comeback of sorts lately at 88, was the eldest of the long-running NBC comedy’s quartet.

Golden Girls producer and writer Marc Cherry, known to younger generations for creating Desperate Housewives, also expressed grief over McClanahan passing:

“My favorite character to write for was Blanche Devereaux. In the hands of lesser actresses Blanche’s vanity and sexual appetite would have been off-putting.”

“But in Rue’s brilliant hands, that character became one of the most beloved in the history of TV. Rue’s kindness, generosity and talent will be sorely missed.”

Shannon Price: I Didn’t Kill Gary Coleman!


Gary Coleman’s ex-wife Shannon Price is speaking out, defending her actions the day of his eventually fatal fall as well as her decision to take him off life support.

Calling Coleman her spouse – even though they were secretly divorced – Price tells TMZ indignantly: “Why would I want to kill my husband? Are you kidding me?”

Strangely, Price said that she’s heard speculation that she pushed Gary, which caused him to fall and his brain to hemorrhage. Price insists she didn’t push Gary.

As she said during the Gary Coleman 911 call, Shannon adds that the two of them were on different floors at the time he fell, so how could she have pushed him?

An odd statement, since no one has actually accused her of this.

Shannon Price married the former child star in 2007 and divorced him in 2008. She adamantly denies pushing Gary Coleman, which no one suggested happened.

Of her decision to pull the plug on the life support machines keeping Coleman alive, Shannon says she didn’t want Gary to be like Muhammad Ali or Terri Schiavo.

“The doctors told me that even if they had done surgery on him, he would have bled to death and died during surgery … if they took a chunk out of his brain, he would not be the same. He would be like Muhammad Ali.”

“It would have been so traumatic.”

She wants us to put ourselves in her position. Admittedly, it’s a position no one should ever have to endure, yet something about her conduct seems a little off.

On a happier note, Shannon Price fondly mentions that Gary Coleman did a lot for her, like buy her a car. Of his own volition. That was, like, really nice of him.

Twilight Saga Gals Speak on Franchise Appeal, Hot Hunks and More


Kristen Stewart is stuck traveling the globe with Taylor Lautner. That poor, poor girl.

Meanwhile, a bunch of her Twilight Saga castmates gathered together for an interview with Vanity Fair, in which they each dishe on various aspects of the franchise. Let’s see what they had to say…

Nikki Reed (Rosalie Cullen), on the appeal of the movies: “Bella and Edward’s love is very taboo and forbidden and I think that kind of represents all youthful relationships, because that’s what all first loves feel like… It’s sort of borderline, like, insane.”

Elizabeth Reaser (Esme), on male co-stars, such as Lautner and Robert Pattinson: “Oh, it gets so old, you have no idea. It has no effect on me. They’re all gorgeous and lovely boys… You just want someone interesting and weird at a certain point. I have a massive crush on Larry David.”

Twilight Gals

Bryce Dallas Howard (Victoria): “I had seen Twilight innumerable times. After I saw it for the fourth time, one of my best guy friends, for my birthday, made me Post-it notes with Robert Pattinson’s face that said, ‘Live Dangerously,’ because I was so obsessed. My husband actually said to me, ‘Do I need to be worried about this?’”

Ashley Greene (Alice), on Eclipse: “You don’t have to be psychic to know how this movie’s going to do. Obviously, it’s going to be a hit.”

Did George’s girl diss Jennifer Aniston?


George Clooney‘s girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, is just learning to tweet, and she’s already made a major faux pas in the Twittersphere — at Jennifer Aniston‘s expense! Elisabetta re-tweeted something written by her pal, fellow Italian TV personality Alessandro Cattelan, in which he said that a picture of ragged-looking rock star Iggy Pop on the cover of Rolling Stone looked like Jennifer Aniston. But Elisabetta swore she never intended to insult George pal Brad Pitt‘s ex-wife. “I JUST READ ON GOOGLE that I TWEETED something bad about J Aniston, let me be clear,it’s a
complete LIE,I would never do that!!” she wrote, claiming she didn’t understand what it meant to re-tweet. And Alessandro came to her defense as well. “I tweeted about Iggy looking like J.Aniston on Rolling Stone Italia Cover. please give my friend Ely a break. it’s just my fault ;) ” he wrote. “oh… and it was just a joke. come on!”

Gary Coleman’s death being investigated

After a life of legal, financial and personal issues, turmoil surrounds Gary Coleman‘s death. The Diff’rent Strokes star’s body is being examined by the coroner’s office in an investigation as to the cause of his shocking demise on May 28, following reports that he and Shannon Price, who authorized the hospital to take him off life support, were actually divorced – and she lied to hospital authorities about it. There is also a 911 recording in which Price says, “I’m gagging. I’ve got blood on myself. I can’t deal.” She then refused to drive him to the hospital for fear that she would have a seizure on the way. The hospital insists that despite their split, Price still had the legal right to make the medical decision for her ex, but Gary’s estranged parents, Sue and Willie Coleman, want to know exactly what occurred in the actor’s Utah home that led to his eventual passing.

Source: Spencer Pratt-Heidi Montag Split a Sham


Take this with a grain of salt … but then again, you likely took the original story with a boulder of salt: Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag’s split may be fake.

According to one report, Spencer dropped into Malibu to visit his “estranged” wife earlier this week, perhaps outing their sham separation in the process.

Sources say Spencer Pratt showed up Wednesday at Heidi’s million-dollar beachside hideaway with Jen Bunney, just days after the couple’s big breakup.

What he received was far from an icy reception, as well.

“Heidi and Spencer are obviously on speaking terms,” dished a source, claiming the split’s not legit. “I’d be surprised if he isn’t even living at the house.”

BLOWING SMOKE: Is Speidi just effing with us? [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

It was reported by TMZ last week that the fame-hungry Speidi was splitting up, and perhaps because it came from that site and not the plastic pair, it appeared real.

“There are so many lies out there about me and I just needed space – even away from my husband,” Heidi said, confirming the so-called split a few days after the fact.

This being Speidi, however, suspicions were aroused immediately. Heidi’s swift new living arrangements seemed awfully well planned, as did this hilarious photo shoot.

Minutes after the supposed break-up, Heidi confirmed she was moving in with her pal Jennifer Bunney to film an upcoming reality show about their “girl time.” Really.

Yesterday, Spencer surfaced for the first time and was either blindsided by the whole charade or does a much better job of playing along than we gave him credit for.

PETA to Brooke Shields: You’re a Fur Pimp!


PETA is at it again.

No, the attention-seeking organization is actually not posing a D-list celebrity naked this time, wasting money on a campaign that could otherwise be spent on the lives of animals.

Instead, the company is taking at at Brooke Shields, after the actress visited Kopenhagen Fur’s workshop in March and said:

“I will advocate that both my generation and the younger generation can wear fur” and “I will wear the fur garment when I follow my children to school, when I drink coffee and when I sleep.”

We must say: those are especially odd comments to make. Of all the causes to advocate, who chooses fur?!?

Brooke Shields Picture

PETA held nothing back in its response, calling out Shields and her floundering career:

“When I was a little girl, I dreamed about growing up to be a rock star. Or maybe a veterinarian. Or a roller derby queen. I didn’t dream about anally electrocuting animals on fur farms, but apparently Brooke Shields did.

“We understand that when some actors’ careers begin to fade, they’ll do just about anything to stay in the limelight, including appearing in eyelash-growing commercials and starring in short-lived TV shows. But Brooke, did you really want the world to remember you as a ‘fur pimp’ who stares agog at rows of animal skins?”

We have to (painfully) admit: we agree with PETA in this one instance. How about you?
