An US magazine article says that American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert confirms that he is gay in the current issue of Rolling Stone (on stands June 10). It's really not that big of a deal and its not like it was a mystery which is why I waited to post about it. But I'll use this opportunity to say that this is Lambert's second cover that I know of (the first was pre-Idol finale) and it makes me wonder where the winner is? Which kind of brings to mind how AT&T may have swayed the votes and perhaps the wrong person really did win... Oh, and I love the Rolling Stone cover - it's yummy.

I guess when you aren't the center of attention anymore, you have to make up stuff for people to notice you. Take reality TV star, Tila Tequila for example. I was Tila's Myspace friend before she was even famous, but I haven't heard anything about her since she stopped doing her Shot at Love show on MTV. Today she blogged on Myspace to clear up rumors, including one about pregnancy... I was like, where did this come from? Apparently, herself. I Googled the topic just to find this Daily Stab article where Tequila had tweeted about the pregnancy and then deleted it. Apparently not fast enough. Get over yourself. And stop starting your own rumors...
