After a very busy month of July which featured 11 concerts (5 with Queen and 6 solo – including the epic Fantasy Springs event pictured above), August begins with a short period of rest for Adam. However, as he tweeted a couple of days ago, we can expect the third single from Trespassing to be announced sometime early this month. Later in the month, Adam will head to Japan and Australia for album promo and a few concerts as well. We are also anxiously waiting to learn if Adam will be a judge or have some other regular role in the upcoming season of American Idol. In the meantime, enjoy the chat!

    Adam did talk about this secret job. He said IN SEPTEMBER. …what could it be?

    Maybe something to do with the MTV Video Music Awards?? I believe they are in early Sept (6th?).

    ETA: Although, you’d think he’s be able to talk about that?? Hmmmm….I just don’t know??

    Ron, I like your dark looks with facial hair! Is it your current…?

    About you and your mother; side by side, you have same kind of bone structure of the face (especially the cheek bones), same kind of mouth… Yes I see the resemblance! Your mother looks like a 50’s movie star in that pic Smile

    Calgary, est-ce que tu viens de Canada, je pens? Sorry my French is very rusty…

    Mils dear, it’s global warmingThinking I noticed it some years ago, when I realized there was no snow in January and the grass was green! But then we got last two winters with tons of snow Grin

    Ron– Thanks for sharing those wonderful photos. Your mother was a beautiful woman, and you look just like her in that picture. I’m looking forward to meeting you one of these days.

  4. k_in_cal says:

    Just saw on HP that Alanis Morisette is also in talks to be an Idol judge. The names just keep coming!!

  5. mmm222 says:

    Have any of you seen this? It’s Scarlett Cherry with Alisan Porter. This is beautiful. Adam has some very talented friends.

    mmm222 Scarlett Cherry’s album is wonderful. I play it a lot!

    LadyNorth Oui j’habite au Canada. Calgary is half an hour from the Rocky Mountains and an hour from Banff. We hosted the ’88 Olympics.

  7. Calgary says:

    Ron Seriously, could you do a side by side with Adam in a haircut similar to yours? I would do it but I don’t know how!

  8. TLKC says:

    Idol is running a audition tour bus shortly – I heard that they weren’t completely happy with the talent they have seen so far. I believe the regional finals (The “You’re Going to Hollywood!” rounds with the TV judges) happen in September. They happen in the big regional cities. Then there is Hollywood week, at which point they winnow it down to Top 30.

  9. TLKC says:

    OK seriously – I have spent the last 10 minutes trying to copy a photo of blonde Adam as a young man in a white shirt. Something about it reminds me of the photo Ron just posted of himself as a young man. Can’t copy it or post it here or email it.

    Does anyone know the photo that I mean?

  11. nkd says:

    That is the biggest hint Adam has given yet! It has to be a job with Idol. Everything else is a show or an appearance.
    Adam has been very coy in interviews about this Idol judging rumor. We are so conditioned to Adam always getting the bum’s rush but deserving so much more.

    I think he’s in! I could be wrong, I often am.

  12. nkd says:

    Ron…love the pictures! You look so much like your beautiful mother!

  13. riskylady says:

    Thank you, glambotgram, Ceddies, nkd and TLKC, then I shall keep my lovely snow wolf. Yes, nkd, he is very serene, just laying there in softly falling snow with paws outstretched with the moonlit trees. Shame avatar pics have to be so small, some of them are really lovely. I love going through the ones on the fansite too, lots of really original and stunning ones.

    Nkd, I’m tending to agree with you about Adam’s “job.” In fact, I suspect all those who’ve been trumpeting that they were “in” are really “out.” Can’t believe Idol likes that kind of bs. And, remember I posted a couple of weeks ago that Adam’s schedule is mysteriously empty for September, October (just one event) to the end of the year? http://adamlambertevents.wordpress.com/
    HIGHLY unusual for someone promoting a new album, no?

  14. Ron says:

    Thanks everyone for the wonderful compliments for my mother! Everyone loved her. She was a lovely lady inside and out.

    Is this what you mean, Calgary?

    Separated At Birth ROTFL

    Ron, wow, you and your mom are so alike. And she’s really beautiful! Was she in entertainment at all also?

    Nkd, I’m tending to agree with you about Adam’s “job.”

    Hi riskylady and nkd!!

    I agree! It was referred to as “a secret job in September”. That one word ‘secret’ gives this Idol speculation a whole lot of weight!

  17. luval says:

    But isn’t it too obvious that it would be the Idol judging job? I mean maybe he’ll mentor or something but IDK.

  18. fwachdr says:

    Wow, Ron, Your mother is beautiful! I can see a big resemblance–the smile, the nose, the eyes–could have been your twin!

  19. Ron says:

    My mother loved to sing and she had a very nice voice riskylady but she didn’t pursue it professionally.

    I’m so grateful for tapes! I have recordings and can still listen to her.

    Obvious? We’re still sitting here guessing about it!
    Adam and his f*cking secrets! It’s enough to make a crazy lady insane!

    I actually would love to see Adam in a permanent mentoring position on idol. I think he could help the contestants even more in that capacity than being a judge. But I don’t know if that job would start in September.

    I forgot to tell you all, but Adam’s secret September job is performing for me for my birthday! Wink Laugh

    Exactly what kind of a “performance” are we talking about here, Miss nkd?! Can I watch?! Razz

  22. luval says:

    I guess I didn’t make myself clear. I don’t mean it’s obvious that he got the job but when he says “secret job” I think the general thought would be that the job is the Idol judging job. But not to me. Lol !

  23. Oksana2000 says:
  24. riskylady says:

    LOL, Oksana! So true! Evil Grin

  25. luval says:

    Oksana what are some of the other judging jobs that might be around? I can’t even think of the international shows. Idol Great Britain maybe?

  26. nkd says:

    I told y’all, Adam is spending September with me! Razz

  27. Oksana2000 says:

    nekkid,you and your big mouth! Can’t you keep a secret for one second? Grin

  28. nkd says:

    I’ll second that LOL, Oksana! (for the cat)

    Hahaha Ron!

    Adam judging somewhere else? I’m not sure how I feel about that. It could be a good career move to get him better known, but I wouldn’t be able to watch him on my TV every week. Neutral

  29. nkd says:

    ROTFL Oksana! I’m not good at secrets! Silly

  30. Oksana2000 says:

    luval,Great Britain has X Factor, and almost every country has some sort of Idol/XFactor/XXX Has Talent/Voice show…

    But I’m just speculating.

    It could be a hosting gig in some TV show.

    And I hope it’s a well paying job. Our Silver Prince cannot recycle his boots and jackets forever. He needs some new stuff that he can keep for next ten years (sigh)

  31. nkd says:

    We have to remember that these comments about a job in September that is a secret came from conversations with fans. I think Adam doesn’t think that what he says to fans overseas will make it back to the US and around the world. He should know this, but sometimes…
    Or maybe he just wants to tell it!

  32. LadyNorth says:

    Someone in twitter thought maybe he’s going to do music with Queen… Roger Taylor will have an album out in November. But Adam told he has a new job in U.S.? So there can be many possibilities! Anyway, it’s good that he has something new coming Smile

    Riskylady, I like your avatar too! Can you make the wolf look bigger/closer in the pic?

  33. Ron says:

    I think it’s Idol (maybe) but then I read something like this published 2 days ago in the New York Daily News:

    Pharrell Williams is a top candidate to be a new judge on ‘American Idol

    PHARRELL WILLIAMS appears more than likely to be christened the next judge on “American Idol.” According to a source close to the rapper/producer/designer’s camp, Williams has told members of his Star Trak Entertainment record label that he will slide into one of the slots vacated by the recent departures of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. Williams had reportedly been negotiating with the reality show in recent weeks but we’re told that he’s informed his closest associates that he’ll be at “Idol” auditions later this month. Williams will join Mariah Carey as one of the new judges and his relationship with the five-time Grammy Award winner and “Idol” stalwart Randy Jackson was a factor in his decision. Williams is “super tight with Mariah and Randy,” says our source. A rep for “Idol,” whose 12th season is scheduled to debut early in 2013, had “no comment.” A spokeswoman for Williams did not get back to use by deadline.

    http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/pharrell-williams-a-top-candidate-a-new-judge-american-idol-article-1.1132109

    All of this though is “according to a source” so, who knows … Question Question Question

  34. luval says:

    nkd…that’s an interesting thought. He just wants to shout it (whatever IT is) out to the world!

    He has said he was a good boy growing up because he was afraid his parents would find out if he did something bad. He really can’t keep a secret.

  35. Oksana2000 says:

    I think Adam doesn’t think that what he says to fans overseas will make it back to the US and around the world.

    Srsly?

    I think that Adam is master of PR, innuendos, stirring the pot and he knows exactly what he’s doing.

  36. Oksana2000 says:

    Ron, by now even the nephew of my doorman , my mailman and my delivery guy was on the list of possible AI judge candidates…

  37. luval says:

    Hi Ron!

    mj had a thread about Pharrell Williams and the general comments were that he’s not well known enough, too quiet, but talented… things like that. Guess we’ll see if he shows up at the auditions! But there were guest stars at the auditions, weren’t there? They sat along side JLo/Steven& Randy.

    Who can put together a list of the people we’ve heard of so far? Smile

  38. LadyNorth says:

    I guess Adam surely knows his fans find out every piece of info he gives in any country… Glamberts are good at sharing Adam-related info Smile He gives hints to keep everyone alert! I think that certain medias follow Glamberts too to know what’s going on around Adam!

  39. nkd says:

    You’re right Oksana, he knows what he’s doing, but there are those times when he lets something slip. I don’t think every word out of his mouth is calculated.

  40. luval says:

    I remember something slipped out of his mouth in the past. Am trying to think of what it was. The EMA’s maybe? Can’t remember

  41. Ron says:

    I know Oksana but the difference is this article states he’s confirmed he’s the new judge with his close associates. But, I always remember weeks before “Trespassing” was released, this seemingly genuine, honest guy (I think he said he was an intern at a radio station?) gave detailed, lengthy descriptions of the songs, the rhythms, Adam’s voice. He kept reassuring everyone of his sincerity, he was telling the truth and how much we were going to love the album.

    The only part he got right was that we were going to love the album but that was a pretty safe bet. Everything he said to describe the album was so far off he made it all up.

    It’s hard to know who or what to believe anymore. Confused

  42. nkd says:

    But then, maybe there’s more than the 2 judging positions open.

  43. Ron says:

    nkd says:
    08/11/2012 at 5:21 pm

    But then, maybe there’s more than the 2 judging positions open.

    You’re not alone in that thinking, nkd. I know that TLKC also thinks a four judge panel is a possibility. Could be.

  44. nkd says:

    Could be 4 judges or Randy may move to another capacity.

  45. luval says:

    haha there was a comment on 24/7 that suggested Adam went platinum because FYE is now certified platinum. Haven’t heard that. So many rumors.

  46. dcglam says:

    When I think of a “new job”, I think of something different that will be happening on a regular basis. I don’t feel that Adam would consider additional Queen performances in the US as a “new job”. As a matter of fact, I don’t feel that he would consider any performance as a “new job”. Therefore, my mind immediately gravitates toward the Idol position that was never debunked by Adam, which always puzzled me. If the rumors are true about Pharrell’s involvement, I couldn’t be happier because both he and Adam would make an unbelievable judging panel. Luval, I think I know what you mean. It is all almost too much of a coincidence to be true!

    I just returned from a week out of town at the beach. My “catching up” strategy is to read comments backwards (beginning from the most recent) — August has been a busy month here at ALL!! Wink

  47. turquoisewaters says:

    I for one am keeping my expectations re Idol very low, but Adam certainly is the biggest tease on the planet.

  48. glambotgram says:

    I just think it being Idol is too obvious. He knows we are all waiting on pins and needles for a decision on Idol. I just feel it has to be something else.
    Plus they have already signed Mariah, if Adam was for sure, why would he have to keep it secret.

    The silver hair, I think I like it, but when I see that side by side above there is just no comparison to dark fierce Adam. It is light and dark Adam. lol

  49. luval says:

    I just all of us here were sitting around a table full of goodies with Trespassing/queen playing in the background and discussing all of this!!!

  50. glambotgram says:

    Happy Birthday to all our birthday peeps!

    Ron I love light Ron. Your mother was lovely and you do look like her.
