December has arrived and that means that 2012 will soon be over. Adam has been “trespassing” all around the world lately and currently finds himself in China and will wrap up his 2012 with a New Years Eve concert in Bali. But before the year ends with a bang there is plenty to do on his home turf. He heads to NY for “Cyndi Lauper and Friends” and a TV appearance, then hops across country for a radio event and a little “Diva” hosting thang.
A lot of holiday cheer to look forward to!

Choosing a photo for the monthly threads is never easy. However, it’s his most recent look that is getting attention. Since it may not last long, I thought that most of you would enjoy the look from the Mnet Awards – fierce, defiant, always unpredictable Adam.

Enjoy the chat! Happy Holidays!

    Good luck with your surgery mils. Hope it goes well and your recovery is quick and easy.
    And a Happy Channukah to you, too. You should see Jerusalem; big menorahs (candelabras) all over the city!

    I’m not sure what to make of that World Music Awards thing. This article about it says that it’s going to happen on Dec 20 in Miami in Marlins Park stadium, but so far, there’s been no announcement about who is booked to perform on the show. TIckets go on sale tomorrow.

    http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/12/04/marlins-park-to-host-world-music-awards-december-20/

    It looks like the awards are based on a combination of worldwide sales and internet voting.

    It’s cool that Adam is nominated for Best World Male Artist, but so are 68 other people! There are 69 nominees on that list! Some of them very big names. So honestly, I can’t get too excited about Adam’s chances of winning, especially since the award is based on sales and public internet votes. And they don’t have Trespassing nominated for Best Album, nor do they have Adam nominated for Best Live Act, durn it. I know, I should be happy with a Best Male Artist nomination, but 69 nominees is crazy!

    http://www.worldmusicawards.com/?page_id=34

    Now if Adam is going to perform in that stadium at the ceremony that is broadcast to supposedly a billion people, that I could get excited about.

    At the moment, I can’t figure out a way to vote. I wonder if the site isn’t working.

    Not sure how the voting works or even if it is worth voting if the awards are based on sales. But glad to see that Adam is there.

    For anyone who wants to see Adam Diva commercial on VH1, it is always shown during Morning Buzz, 10AM EST. Don’t waste the whole day.

    As aely posted Adam on CNN Starting Point Monday morning, also
    VH1 Morning Buzz on Monday and
    The Wendy Williams Show as has been mentioned.

    Check local listings for The Wendy Williams Show for Monday. It is on two of my local channels, one at 10 am, another at 2 pm, and then on BET at 11pm, which would be 12 midnight ET.

    eywflyer, I’ve noticed when I edit a post, it deletes the skipped line spaces, and they have to be added back in. I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this also.

    Maybe a glitch that can be worked out at some time in the future. Just letting you know what I’ve noticed, not complaining! I’m so grateful for everything you and AL do for this site.

  10. cwm says:

    Same thing happens for me, nkd. I was going to mention it as well, but you beat me to it. Not a major problem, but it is a minor annoyance to have to re-enter the line breaks whenever editing a post.

    Mike Ruiz (the photographer) has invited Adam to his birthday party benefit tonight. If Adam decides to go, we might get some out-and-about photos.

    Also, here is the translation of a Hong Kong reporter’s weibo posts about parts of her interview with Adam that didn’t make it into the print edition:

    I’m really sad right now.

    I won’t be able to be here tomorrow during Cyndi’s Concert.
    Out for dinner with family’s friends.

    Then I got news that I’d be out of town soon until after X-mas ( I’ll miss VH1 Divas, too.)
    Hubby wants to be with his sis for her birthday and then X-mas because it’s her first year without her husband during this holiday seasons. I can’t bail out.
    My SIL lives in a small rural town. No cable TV.

    I may need help and advise from some of you here.
    My smart TV is smarter than I am. I don’t know how to DVR, TIVO or what not. Got a couple of DVD players, but still can’t get them work. Hubby couldn’t do it either. It could be because of the AT&T and U-verse pakage thing.

    I’m really disappointed. I was looking forward to see Adam on my TV for 2 hours. Went out to get 60″ smart TV. Got the U-verse package and now this.

    I’m very sad right now. Hot, hot shower makes me feel better. I’ll do that. I may cry al little bit in my shower.

    Cry Frown

    Sorry for this OT. Didn’t know where to vent.

    Popping in. Not at all caught up yet. Typing with one hand, feeling fine. The numbing stuff not worn off yet. Watched vintage Trouble on Letterman, wowza and yowza. They are on their way, big time. Wasn’t the lead in Zodiac and maybe Wicked or Hair with Adam? Zodiac for sure, but more connections?

    Hi mils. I’m glad you are back and seem to be fine.

    Speedy recovery, my dear!!!

    Yes!!! Love Vintage Trouble. I guess they have gained a lot of fans from last night. They are all good, the musicians and Ty. He is a very polished and stylish performer.

    I wish Adam is on Letterman too while he is NYC.

    Oh!! and on SNL.
    Please Universe.

  24. aely says:

    asif

    I can try and help with the DVR. Let me know.

  25. milwlovesadam says:

    The move that Ty Taylor on Letterman is from Hair. “Berger” did it to me when I saw Hair here. I was laughing so freaking hard. He was grinding right in my face.

    LOL.Cough- Had it happen at a bachelorette party too. Cough.

    asif if you have uverse you can record so easily you’ll laugh at yourself. just use the ATT remote and search for the show you want, or find it through guide and press record. If you have ATT internet, you also do it online.

    Believe me, if I can do it, you can do it.

    Thanks everybody for your good wishes. I’m still comfortably numb.

    I’ve been losing my lines too when I edit. But, I still have buttons so I won’t complain. I’d rather have buttons.

  28. milwlovesadam says:

    and on you tube. and on 24/7. and downloaded for sharing. and on demand.

  29. milwlovesadam says:

    Asif, I just re-read your post. In the states you don’t need a DVR with UVerse. You just program through your ATT remote. The “master” control unit in your home is the DVR. You program and use recorded TV with the remote.

    We have a DVR box from ATT U verse on one older TV. The other newer ones don’t have any DVR unit. You probably need a service call to set up your stuff. You can negotiate the fee with them by being fierce. HA. I do it all the time.

  30. Kradamour says:

    Oh, sistasif…your post made me so sad for you. So beautifully expressed.
    I know that it is small comfort, but I and doubtless others will be thinking of you during the show. And as oksana pointed out, it will be rerun and rerun. Yes, it would be nice to see it the first time, but when you see it, it will be the first time for you!
    And what you are doing for your husband’s family is very generous, even though not enthusiastic.
    Heart
    But…what if you convinced your husband to invite your SIL to stay with you, instead?
    Question
    Bring her away from the small town to cheer her.
    Yes

    Well, HK fan, in that pic, doesn’t look like he’s mourning over the Grammys (or anything else, for that matter). He’s got enough on his plate to keep him busy.

    Hi!!!! I’m back. I forgot to say .. HAPPY HANUKKAH!!! .. to mils .. and everybody who observes the holiday.

    Now, wiping my tears off. I got verklemps.
    I love this place. I really do. Thank you very much for your kindness, my friends.
    I got so many responses and help and advice and sympathy from you.

    We’ll go to the links that AL and aely gave me. We’ll try it tomorrow. It’s too late tonight.
    Good thing that my SIL has internet (very slow but better than nothing.) Hope to record VH1 Divas on line.

    It’s not the same thing as watching it at the same time with you guys. Here is the only place I talk about Adam. Nobody else. We can flail together here. FUN!! FUN!! FUN!! Grin

    Oksana and mils are right. There will be repeats, youtubes, talks, flails, ohmygosh, and lists (from mils) nonstop.

    Sistakrads .. thanks for your suggestion.

    We’ve invited her to come to visit or stay or live with us many times but she isn’t ready yet. It’s also her family’s tradition that everyone comes to her house for the holidays. Her children and grandchildren come to her house.

    AL and mils, I’m afraid to call for a service and I’m not good at negotiating.

    I felt so stupid just a month ago. We were trying to turn our heater on. Checked the furnace in the basement and everything else including the thermostat. Nothing happened. A friend came to help. Nothing happened. So we called for a service.
    And guess what, behind the thermostat cover which we couldn’t open .. almost ripped it off, there was a switch to turn it on and off.
    That’s it .. just turned it on. And they charged us a frigging $80.
    Haha…I paid for my ignorance!!!

    Sorry guys for a long silly rant.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Love you. Heart and Heart adamlambertlive Heart

    I’m so happy to see Vintage Trouble getting that great exposure on Letterman last night. They are awesome; Ty is amazing. I bought their album way back when when Adam first introduced us to them, and I really like it. They definitely deserve success.

  39. cwm says:

    The Supreme Court is getting involved in the same sex marriage issue.

    Yep, rs, they sure are. Wading right into the very core of the question by taking on these two cases. Been in all the news here today. Wow. I so fervently hope that the decisions go in favor of marriage equality. It’s always a danger when the Supreme Court takes a case that their decision will go the wrong way, but this one seems so clear (at least to me) when viewed from a constitutional equal protection/equal rights perspective. I’m cautiously optimistic, but it does make me nervous.

    On the Court now, we have 2 Reagan appointees (Scalia & Kennedy), 1 GHW Bush appointee (Thomas), 2 Clinton appointees (Bader Ginsburg & Breyer), 2 GW Bush appointees (Roberts & Alito), and 2 Obama appointees (Sotomayor & Kagan).

    Thank you for posting that analysis, jlurksacto. Very interesting and helpful for understanding the background and what’s at stake. As the author said, the way the Court has framed the questions to be answered “offers a chance for a monumental victory or a great loss.”

    This is a biggie. High stakes now. And the current Court is so hard to predict.

  43. rs says:

    Welcome back mils. Hope you are feeling better.

    I saw what Cece said about Adam and just lol’ed. I mean, she got a bum deal on the X-Factor, but it is a reach to compare herself to Adam. Lyndsey Parker does say, though, that Cece was the most relevant singer for today’s Pop scene. The X-factor is so bad this year, especially Brittney. I don’t know what they were expecting, but she was a waste of all those millions that they paid her. You have to have some modicum of intelligence or wit or ability to articulate to be a judge on these shows, not to mention terrible song choices for those she is mentoring. Her girl is doing well in spite of her, not with the aid of her mentoring.

    I’ve been watching some of x factor on line at mj’s. Have thought Cece was awful all the way through, bad singer, and she just seems so insincere and fake. Can’t see her having any success after the show. Didn’t actually think any of them were much good to be honest, at least not to become stars.

    I can’t watch the livestream of the NYC concert as it happens, 9am here sunday morning, I’ll be at rugby training, (watching, not playing!), then watching a rugby match. Hopefully by the time I get back in the afternoon some videos will be surfacing.

    Good morning, everyone!

    Why why why does Adam have the north wind puking down his arm…

    I’m LOLing at that comment this morning, Kradamour, because I feel the exact same way. I’m also not a fan of the facial hair, so that pic is not one of my favorites. Eyes are always gorgeous, though. But speaking of pics…..
    Out of all the many talents that will be part of tonight’s show, look whose pic is displayed in this article!

    http://www.playbill.com/news/article/172973-Adam-Lambert-Rosie-ODonnell-Whoopi-Goldberg-Are-Part-of-Cyndi-Lauper-Friends-NYC-Concert-Dec-8
    Hmmm, I wonder how many songs Adam will perform….. Question

    asif, I hope that all the wonderful advice and thoughts you received here from your bffs will help and make you feel better about the situation.

    mils, take care of that hand, and Happy Hanukkah right back atcha!!

    I just watched this video and agree, rs, that there is no way Adam’s insane talent can be compared to Cece’s. However, she seems to be a Glambert and very much inspired by Adam which are good things. During the show I did appreciate her uniqueness and determination to be herself. She seems to have drive and ambition, so only time will tell as to what her musical future holds. Cece will soon surely see that it is not easy out there!

  50. milwlovesadam says:

    I’m thinking Adam’s picture is used because of his theater background. Playbill and Broadway world are very supportive of him.

    A lot of the other names are more talk show and style people. Love Carson-he’s such a hoot. And Andy Cohen, too. And, to me, it’s Whoopie who I want Adam to impress. She wasn’t on the show the day that Adam was at the View. So they haven’t met yet.

    All I know is, there is a lot of show-biz “power” on that bill. It’s a great gig for him.

    Wonder if he went to that Mike Ruiz party? Wonder if Sauli came to NYC?

    And most of all, I wonder if Brian remembered to take that scissors off his pretty sofa before he sat on them. Tired puppy that he was!! Sleepy Doctor

    Also, one more thing, does anybody know what show he will be on MTV on the 12th?

    Soledad O’Brien on the 10th. Wendy Williams on the 10th. What else?
