UsMag -Adam Lambert is trying to keep his chin up.ABC — which already cancelled his Good Morning America performance in the wake of his provocative AMAs number — has dumped Lambert again. And again!

Lambert Tweeted Tuesday, “Yes, sadly friends, ABC has cancelled my appearance on Kimmel and NYE.” The singer, 27, suggests the network isn’t exactly to blame for nixing his Jimmy Kimmel Live and New Year’s Eve appearance.
“Don’t blame them,” he writes. “It’s the FCC heat.”

(The Federal Communication Commission could potentially fine ABC if its programming is found objectionable; ABC received more than 1500 complaints as a result of Lambert’s AMAs show, in which he simulated oral sex and kissed his keyboardist.)

The American Idol runner up adds that he’s not gig-less by any stretch: “I AM doing Leno though. And lookin into something for NYE … It’ll all blow over. Let’s focus on being positive!

Publicly, Lambert has said he has no plans to apologize for his AMAs set, and that “my intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time.”
Yet, privately, an insider says in the new issue of Us Weekly, “he’s freaking out. He’s trying not to piss people off; he’s trying to push buttons as an artist.”

…. and he’s been in love just the once. He said: “My life has changed so much, I’m not sure what my needs are anymore. At the moment, it’s probably difficult to have a relationship. I’m going to be doing a lot of growing in the next couple years. I’ve only been in two relationships, and really in love just one time. That’s one part of my life I’m learning about, my heart.”

Village Voice – Ever since American Idol’s mascara-wearing runner-up Adam Lambert came out, it seems his people can’t wait to get him back in a little.

In the new Out 100 issue of Out–which I write for–editor Aaron Hicklin pens a sharp letter criticizing Lambert’s management for their namby-pambiness in trying to re-cloak his sexuality. Lambert gave the magazine a terrific interview, but his handlers were not so glorious, alas.

Says Hicklin:

*Adam’s people were reluctant to let him appear on the cover. They only let it happen if it was a group shot, preferably including someone straight. (This even though Out was first in line, ages ago, in asking for a Lambert cover. Somehow Details was granted a crack at him first, presenting the singer caressing a barely clad woman and talking about kissing girls, though he did also manage to get in the fact that he’s gay).

*Out was urged not to make Adam too gay in the shot.

*They were also informed that Adam probably wouldn’t be able to attend an Out 100 event because they didn’t want to jeopardize his record sales.

Some progress, huh? I’m starting to feel better that I voted for the other guy.

Adam Lambert and Drake LaBry are over.A source confirms to Usmagazine.com that the American Idol runner-up, 27, and the interior designer, 24, have ended their relationship.
“They’re still friends, and it’s totally mutual,” the source tells Us. “They will still talk and see each other.”And there’s very little drama behind the split, the pal says. It’s all about timing — and Lambert’s on-the-launchpad career.

Look back on the most recent American Idol finale”Adam is crazy busy right now getting the album done and squeezing in rehearsals,” the source tells Us, referring to Lambert’s debut album, For Your Entertainment, out Nov. 23. “They both felt this moment is too important for Adam to focus on anything else but getting this album out and having it be a huge hit.”
Lambert officially came out to the public in June via a Rolling Stone cover story. “I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay,” he told the magazine.That same month, he and LaBry were first spotted holding hands and getting “very flirtatious” at West Hollywood club Guys and Dolls. -UsMag
