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!

    What jlurksacto said!!!!!

    And I’d get to see him twice a week on my TV!

  2. nkd says:

    The exposure extends beyond the weekly viewers, because it is talked about on every entertainment/news show.

  3. glambotgram says:

    And the clothes and boots and new hair and plugging his music like the rest of them have, and his is sooo much better.

  4. aely says:

    OMG. What the hell did I miss today?
    Yes idol, no Idol, maybe Idol. And
    I got that from just the last few comments Smile
    Time for catch up.

  5. nkd says:

    I’m not quite sure how to answer you aely.
    I don’t think we know what’s going on.

    ETA I KNOW we don’t know what’s going on!!!

  6. aely says:

    So, hearsay = Twitter exploding = Adam on idol. Got it.
    LOL. I would love it to be true but I don’t think it will.
    I would LOVE to be wrong though! Do most think it will?

  7. ultimathule says:

    Yes, you’re right, jlurksacto.

    It’s exhausting caring so much.
    Time to take a break, I’mathinkin’.

  11. Calgary says:

    My gosh you all have been busy tonight! Ron it’s two and half pages back that you kindly posted the ‘separated at birth’ photos of you and Adam, and yes, I do believe there is a family resemblance! Two gorgeous guys!

    luval, waiting on the DVD from Cher

    I mailed it yesterday so you should have it in few days and it does work!!! Laugh I’m emailing you Ceddies’ address.

    My take if Adam does get a job on idol. I think it would more be to replace Jimmy Iovine as mentor. I think Jimmy said he wouldn’t be doing that job anymore. I hope…fingers crossed.. Idol is great exposure. I think Reese was speculating that Adam could be the XFactor host to replace Steve Jones. That would be great too. Anything to have him back regularly on my tv again. Yes

  13. nkd says:

    I think Adam replacing Jimmy Iovine in a mentor role would be perfect for Adam and the show.

  14. LadyNorth says:

    A lot of things in twitter last night… Adam’s twitter party! I don’t know if it’s posted yet. Still mysterious, he’s not telling very much Grin Has there been some cray tweets too, does anyone know?

    Adam’s twitter party

    http://thelambrits.co.uk/blog/?p=5061

  15. LadyNorth says:

    What does this mean? Latin? Or what?

    Adam Lambert @adamlambert MUSICA DELENIT BESTIAM FERAM

  16. cwm says:

    LadyNorth – there is, unfortunately, a ugly contingent of Adam’s fandom who are quite delusional and negative, who believe that Adam and Tommy Joe Ratliff are secretly lovers (“Adommy”) and that Sauli’s and Adam’s relationship is “fake.” They worship Tommy and their “Adommy” fantasies. They genuinely dislike Sauli and tweet lots of hateful things about him because they can’t let go of their Adommy delusions and accept the reality that Adam is in love with Sauli and is only good friends with Tommy.

    The general consensus is that Adam wandered into one or more of their twitter feeds (probably the queen bee’s and some of her minions) and was disturbed by what he saw being said about Sauli. Which is sad.

    It’s one thing to enjoy talking about your shipping fantasies. It’s a whole nother thing to use those fantasies to spread poison and hate about the very real boyfriend of the person you supposedly stan. It’s disgusting, really.

    The good news is that Adam appears to have now blocked the queen bee of the Adommy crays (YAY!), so that sends a pretty strong message. Good for him.

  17. nkd says:

    It means music soothes the savage beast.

    Now why did he tweet it? Who knows?!!!
    So perplexing!

    Love his crazy intelligent ass!

  18. LadyNorth says:

    cwm, thanks for the clarification!

    That sounds cuckoo in a very bad way… Out of the reality? Yes fantasies are one thing but doing it in public in a negative way is something else. They don’t sound like Adam’s true fans if they hurt his feelings like that.

  19. LadyNorth says:

    Thanks nkd!

    I have no idea why he tweeted this… Jet lag causing interesting associations in his brain Smile? But it is very stimulating and entertaining to follow his tweets! No wonder why 1,6 million peeps are doing it.

  20. cwm says:

    No, they’re definitely not true Adam fans, LadyNorth. They adore Tommy and are true fans of their Adommy fantasy, a fantasy which bears no relationship to reality. And they openly denigrate Adam for the personal choices he has made, for the way he now lives his life, and for the things he now says about how happy he is in his personal life – all because he’s living and loving openly with Sauli rather than with Tommy.

    Can you tell they piss me off? Hah. Yeah, they piss me off.

    Maybe they pissed Adam off too, and that’s why he tweeted the Latin phrase – because he had to listen to some music to calm down and re-focus on the positive. Maybe. It’s my current theory.

  21. LadyNorth says:

    cwm, I think I’ll try to keep out of that mess… Fandom is supposed to make you feel good, not bad or sad. Love (and excitement Smile ), no hate please!

    But I guess being famous and adored often has that other side too. I read somewhere Justin Bieber’s girlfriend gets a lot of hate mail, even threats to get killed. The insanity of human nature…

    I am pleased that Adam knows when and how to set boundaries to protect himself and his loved ones. But I don’t like he has to face stuff like that.

  22. cwm says:

    ITA, LadyNorth, ITA!

  23. Kradamour says:

    I am pleased that Adam knows when and how to set boundaries to protect himself and his loved ones. But I don’t like he has to face stuff like that.

    Exactly. And I also worry that at some point the crays will force Adam to be less open with us or just want to retreat. He allows us so much access into his private life, he seems really to want and need that connection in contexts beyond the stage, and we are so fortunate. I would hate for us to lose that. “us” including Adam.
    Pain

    Catching up…Ron, I loved your photos last night! The more so because my younger son is constantly told how much he looks like me…he always fought that, but a few months ago he found my high school graduation photo…even I was astounded by the resemblance. Genetics is powerful stuff.

    Your mother was very, very lovely, Ron.

  24. luval says:

    Good morning!

    Had no idea Jimmy Iovine might be leaving. IMO if Adam has anything to do with Idol, that would be the job they will give him. Still don’t think it’s judging.

    I did not like the hair at first…too brassy. Then he toned it down with the chrome/ash/platinum…looked very nice at the airport and at the radio show. But now I don’t care for it as much in that picture at the mall. Looks dried up & the color is changing. I used to dye my hair blonde for years so I know all the changes that can happen. Washing your hair changes it if you don’t use the right shampoo.

    But who am I…nobody!!!

    eta: am really bored about the Adommy fan fiction and sorry Adam goes there although I might too if I was him. Tempting. But I get bored easily. Just finished reading 50 Shades of Grey. Really a stupid book IMO. Boring, nothing I haven’t ever read before in most romance novels. Don’t get the fascination for it.

  25. Kradamour says:

    I also saw a little while ago that Jimmy Iovine was likely leaving, in an article about the ganeral exodus from Idol, almost a clean slate. Agree that Adam would fill that role so well! And it is less tacky than judging. Hope it is true.

    Someone upthread mentioned Adam and Sauli’s OOFTA tats. I had forgotten that piece of foolishness…a tat is pretty much forever. A Scandinavian exclamation? On a highly visible tat? Really?! Way too impulsive, IMHO.
    Thinking

  26. dcglam says:

    LOL — Very true, Kradamour!
    And yes Ron… Beautiful pics (and beautiful memories) of both you and your mom!

    I wasn’t here this past week to chime in on the discussion regarding Adam’s new hair color. I have to admit that I am not liking it and still have not been able to warm up to it. The silver (some pics better than others) is a tad bit better than the blond he began with, but I still feel that dark hair is so much better suited for his overall appearance. I’m sure he will eventually go back to it. I’m just hoping for sooner rather than later…. Wink

  27. luval says:

    Hi Kradamour!

    I don’t mind the Oofta tat as much as the key. Just too big & doesn’t go well with the others. Actually neither the eye of horus, infinity or key mesh. But a talented artist could somehow link them together. Yes, more tatoos but maybe something light and airy to connect.

    The only thing about filling Iovine’s role is that Adam might not sing on the show! God I want the world to hear that voice.

    And to add from Adam’s tweets makeup is back! I knew that would happen and that with Adam the showman it’s in his blood! I am very happy about this although I know many peeps don’t like it. But I think now he knows when & where to wear it. Adam is glam & glitter through & through forever IMO.

  28. Kradamour says:

    We need more and better photos before we can really evaluate the hair, I think, but even Adam’s notoriously amazing hair will take a beating from this. From natural ginger to almost black…various highlights…then stripped out, then colored/bleached/whatever…
    One of my sons’ girlfriends, a gorgeous natural blond, was moving to another city/school district and impulsively colored her hair red. She hated it and two days later colored it black. It was a disaster. As a going away present I took her to my stylist to have it undone. It took 5 hours and three of the best stylists in the city, plus hundreds of dollars, to undo what she had done and restore a measure of hair health.
    Shock
    Adam’s hair is short, not her shoulder-length, and that makes it much less catastrophic, but of course one option is always (gah!) to shave it off and start over…
    Pain

  29. Kradamour says:

    Hi back, luval!
    True re the not singing. I was thinking about that, too.
    But just because Jimmy didn’t sing doesn’t mean that Adam couldn’t.
    And even if he didn’t sing, he would be out there, visible, and clearly identified as a professional in the business.

  30. luval says:

    Adam probably skipped the “why did you color your hair questions”. Smile I don’t think we ever got a definite answer, did we?

  31. LadyNorth says:

    Talking about tattoos… There’s new one going on at the moment! Watch the pic from Japan.

    http://ow.ly/i/Qo5X

    Could someone please explain that OOFTA tattoo? I still don’t know what it means…

  32. Kradamour says:

    I’m off the grid for a while…leaving in a few to say goodbye to my son, he is leaving for Afghanistan in the wee hours tonight.

    Hard.

    BUT I am driving his car back to Virginia and that allows me to stop and visit with fwachdr on the way home, so nice to have that opportunity!
    Concentrating on the positive.
    Smile

  33. luval says:

    That’s the other arm, isn’t it? Frown

    Maybe it’s the “music soothes the savage beast” that he tweeted last night.

    If he has to get another tattoo, I would rather he have “words” than symbols.

  34. dcglam says:

    Kradamour…. My thoughts and best wishes will accompany your son to and in Afghanistan. Enjoy your visit with fwachdr!

  35. LadyNorth says:

    Luval, yes it is! I clicked the photo to make it bigger. It was written with very beautiful letters.

  36. dcglam says:

    A larger tat pic…

    ETA: What you said, LadyNorth! Wink

  37. fwachdr says:

    And I’m busy wrapping trees with Trespassing tape, so kradamour can find our driveway!!

  38. luval says:

    Thank you guys! Yup, am satisfied with that. Fits him perfectly. Must be he’s been a beast lately and thank God for the music or who knows what would happen! LOL

    Yes, the lettering is beautiful.

    Safe sailing, kradamour. And fwachdr I hope you are serious about the Trespassing tape! haha

  39. adamized says:

    Morning Luval and dcglam looks like the boy went for some classy Latin on his arm. Could be worse.

    So, stop me if I have told you the story about oofta already. It is the Finnish version of oy vey which is Yiddish for Oh My. It something you murmur when you do something silly or something surprises you in a not necessarily pleasant way. Nothing too big or too serious. I was having dinner one night a few months ago with a brilliant older man who prides himself on being the authority of arcane items and he was trying to stump the table with the word oofta. You can imagine his shock when little ole me was able to give him the definition. HAH!!!!

  40. LadyNorth says:

    Krad I am sorry you have to lose your “baby” so far away but have fun on your way back home Smile

    I am going very slow motion today. Too much sleep… But interesting speculations been going on last night! I’ll stop guessing what Adam is up to next Grin

  41. adamized says:

    Oh, and about the hair. I really need to see him with it moving, and singing, and talking before I know the real impact. In pictures I don’t find it as exciting as the black. Could someone remind me of the time difference between here and Japan and if there will be dinner served at a decent hour. Of course when it comes to Adam a decent hour is pretty much 24 hours a day.

    Safe travels for both you and your son Kradamour.

  42. luval says:

    Hi Adamized!!!

    I have the time down pat on this trip. Japan is 13 hours ahead of us so right now it’s approximately 1035pm Japan time. Not sure if any dinner at these performances. Was mentioned no cameras or videos allowed. But we know we will get something from his fans there!

  43. milwlovesadam says:

    New Tat? Other arm? Music calms the savage beast. Hmmm. That’s so you don’t go Cuckoo.

    Cuckoo, I predict, is the next single. And, we have the theme for the video too. If you take the music away, you go Cuckoo.

    Adam has mentioned concepts like this before in interviews. He needs music to stay sane, to stay grounded, he can’t live without music.

    LOL, Neil or his dad prolly got the Latin for him.

  44. luval says:

    I hope Adam & everyone connected to the tattoo got the latin spelling exactly correct! Wouldn’t want to hear of a goof.

  45. milwlovesadam says:

    Oofta, or oofda, is heard around here, and more in northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, and Minnesota. I’ve seen it in several variations on personalized licenses plates too. I just saw it the other day as “uuvduh”. Probably because every other variation or phonetic spelling had been taken already.

    Kradamour, best wishes for everything. Your strength and positive thinking are a good lesson for me as I ready my soon to be empty nest. Two weeks from tomorrow. Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry

    On another note, did anybody here listen to any Freddie Mercury last night after my post? I’m just curious what feedback you might have after hearing his interviews.

  46. LadyNorth says:

    It is the Finnish version of oy vey which is Yiddish for Oh My.

    Really? I am a Finn and never heard anything even close to that!

    Thanks for explaining that adamized!

  47. luval says:

    ADam just tweeted the tat:

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert

    New Tattoo http://pic.twitter.com/18dIwLg5

  48. dcglam says:

    LOL…. Funny dinner story, adamized!
    Thanks for sharing. Big Smile

  49. luval says:

    Brian May just re-tweeted this. (he probably agrees)

    Ana Afonso ‏@TheAnaAfonso

    @kerryjaneellis1 better if a certain someone would be performing with Brian again but we’ll have to settle with whoever else they chose!

  50. milwlovesadam says:

    I hate to say it, but I like it. I’m not a fan of tattoos in general, but, this one is “smart.” I like the message and I like the script choice.

    Let’s see, in one week, he has new hair, and a new tat. Most things come in threes. What’s next?

    New single? New video? News?
