Exciting times are upon us as July begins! Adam has just completed an outstanding first full length concert with Queen at a charity event in Kiev, Ukraine (as captured in the photo above). Five more Queen + Adam Lambert concerts are lined up for Moscow, Wroclaw (Poland) and London during the next couple of weeks. Adam will then return to the United States to play a series of solo concerts during the second half of the month, including gigs in Costa Mesa, Sacramento, Des Moines, Thackerville (Oklahoma), and a much anticipated return to the site of one of his first and most memorable concerts at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. All told, Adam will perform in 10 live concerts this month, which will make this his busiest month for live performances since November 2010 when he was in the European portion of the Glam Nation Tour. As always, enjoy the chat!

    There is such a pecking order organized not around talent but around who caters to who’s ego.

    Sadz, but true…. Big Frown

    The rumor mill in the UK.
    From twitter

    According to ITV Daybreak this morning @adamlambert has been approached for the idol job, nd negotioans are happening

    Mils I sent you an e-mail. Sorry we won’t get to meet you Eastern folks in Des Moines, altho I haven’t given up all hope on Kradamour.I wonder how Adam is traveling between shows as he’s got three in a row. Plane or bus? Not that I really care just as long as he gets to Des Moines. Question

    Speaking of Steven Tyler, have we seen this pic, yet?

    I just came from MJ’s where the Brad Paisley rumour is in full swing. Who knows what’s going?

    The strength of the Idol rumour is good for Adam’s reputation, at the very least, and I honestly don’t think the lack of an announcement means much.

    Perhaps they never approached Adam but, if they did, I doubt it was before the first interview he gave. The words “lovely rumour” have an honest ring to them. If they approached him after that, it’s unlikely they would have signed yet. Contract engotiations are generally protracted. Lawyers on both sides will request time to review every change.

    We actually have no idea how long the Mariah Carey negotiations have been going on. They may have done a good job of keeping things secret and Idol would have been very motivated to get her signed; they really had to have a big name in place at the same time as the exits of Tyler and JLo were announced.

    They will want to draw the other announcements out through the fall.

    Not saying it’s happening but can’t see that it’s over.

    Oh Adam , what on earth were you wearing? Did you think that that ridiculous combo would be camouflage? LOL Boots? Really? Big ol suede boots? Wasn’t it 105 degrees out? Didn’t I spot you in some snappy sandals in London? And what about those capris? Hunh? WTF?

    Sauli looks fab. Isn’t that Adam’s striped shirt that he wore to Queen rehearsals? Isn’t Sauli dipping into the Adam closet a lot lately? How adorbs.

  10. TLKC says:

    Cute photo nkd. Sauli looks an awful lot shorter than Adam and I see a little tummy on him. Now that they’re home, he’ll be able to exercise regularly again.

  11. dcglam says:

    Happy birthday, renata — hope I’m not late!
    You received a lovely, perfect gift from your niece — a real keeper.In Love

    “”I’m loling at all the subtle (and not so subtle) adam jabs in a thread that isn’t even about him. Don’t you find it a bit unfulfilling, though, that all his defenders have left for greener pastures and no one is around to spar with? You all are gonna have to find yerselves a new whippin’ boy now. Yee Haw!!”””

    From tonight at Mj’s about Brad Paisley as a judge.

    Yup. We are here and other places. It is just nicer here.

    My comment over there last night has 40 likes. Guess some people agreed with me. Good. I needed a little rant. Felt good.

  13. turquoisewaters says:

    Oh my, that outfit has to be extremely comfortable, because it sure is ridiculous! I love how carefully Adam usually presents himself when he is working, but then he has no problem walking through the hotel lobby in these goofy outfits.
    Sauli always looks good. That tummy you are seeing must be a mirage.

  14. Ellessay says:

    Darn, how did MJ know I was about to post a response on the Brad Paisley thread? It was closed for comments before I could finish typing.

  15. fwachdr says:

    Mils, I saw your rant on mj’s…it was excellent!!
    TLKC, I don’t see a Sauli tummy…I know my eyes are bad, but…
    I do think AFL must like dressing like a dork sometimes…must get tired of being a drop dead gorgeous, high fashion model!!!

  16. bridgette12 says:

    Darn, how did MJ know I was about to post a response on the Brad Paisley thread? It was closed for comments before I could finish typing.

    I’m not surprised it’s closed, it went from talking about Brad to discussing Adam’s lack of qualification to be a judge on Idol. Some of those people over there, are freaking nuts. “If” Adam becomes a judge, some of them are going to have a nervous breakdown. The way they are carrying on, you would think Adam was being vetted for a position at the White House.

  17. milwlovesadam says:

    But, I’M not sick of him being a drop dead gorgeous fashion model!!

  18. milwlovesadam says:

    Exactly, Bridgette. ITA.

    Adam Lambert Gets Warm Welcome From ‘Pretty Little Liars’

    Adam Lambert began taping for a special Halloween episode of Pretty Little Liars yesterday and received a warm welcome from Rosewood. Executive Producer Marlene King tweeted, “Just met Rosewoods newest honorary citizen @adamlambert. . .

    I’m reluctant to show my TV ignorance, but is ABC Family Channel separate from ABC? I have never seen PLL.

  21. nkd says:

    Yes fwachdr, ABC Family Channel is a seperate channel than the major network ABC.
    If anyone has netflix, you can watch the first and second seasons on instant download.

  22. milwlovesadam says:

    ABC Family is cable. It’s in most standard cable packages, from what I understand. On At&T it’s located numerically near Nickelodeon and Disney, for instance.

  23. fwachdr says:

    TY, nkd & mils, I suspected that. Good thing I’ve got till Oct to find it! We’re on Knology.

  24. Ceddies says:

    Got a quick Adam story. I went into a beauty supply store today to buy yellow nail polish to wear to Winstar. When I got back to my car I realized the color was wrong because I compared it to the color on my Trespassing CD. I had asked the young female clerk for some inexpensive yellow polish because I don’t normally wear nail polish but that I was wanting to wear some to a concert. She didn’t ask whose concert. So, when I realized the color difference, I went back in and took my Trespassing CD in to match it. The girl said “Oh, so that’s whose concert you’re going to”. I told her yes and asked her did she know who he is. She grinned real big and said that of course she did and that she liked him but that she was surprised that I would know who he is. I asked why she was surprised. She said because he was more popular with her age demographic than mine. In one way that made me happy to hear that she thought Adam was more popular in her age demographic (about 20 maybe) than mine. I told her that Adam has an appeal for all ages and told her a little about all of us 29 year olds and what he has done for our lives. She just stood there grinning ear-to-ear with her two big strands of turquoise hair, one on either side of her cheeks.

    Oh, and in another way I didn’t like her making such a big deal about our “demographics”. After all, I’m only 29.

  25. nkd says:

    My 19yo, almost 20, daughter watches PLL. She just started watching it this summer, catching up on the previous seasons on Netflix, because my 28 yo daughter watches it! So now this 29 yo is trying to catch up! Teenage angst. Smirk

  26. fwachdr says:

    My DH uses netflix…I’ll get him to find PLL so I can catch up! Nighty night, ALL…busy day tomorrow…and I’m about to lose use of my iPad again. Hubby’s taking the crashed desktop back to the shop…4th time in three weeks…so there goes my wi-fi connection. Frown
    Can’t manage 7 glamchildren at an internet cafe! I say time for a new computer!

  27. nkd says:

    I love that story Ceddies! It’s great to know someone thinks we are the minority among Adam’s fans!

  28. nkd says:

    Happy Birthday renataademelo! I hope it was a good one!

  29. Ceddies says:

    Oh, nkd and Kradamour, we now have a room for Winstar. Thanks for the information. We were really wanting Sherman or Gainesville, and we got Sherman which is right on our way.

  33. Kiwi says:

    Hi everyone, very pleased that PLL is on free-to-air TV in New Zealand. I have always watched it ,and enjoyed it. Even though it’s aimed at younger viewers than myself! The only problem is that we are at the last episode of season 2 and you are in season 3(I think). So may be a long wait!

  34. rs says:

    We get it here, too, and amazingly we are on season 3. (We are usually a few seasons behind or get shows that have already been cancelled.) But that doesn’t mean that come the fall we will get season 4! Keeping my fingers crossed.

  35. Kiwi says:

    I did read somewhere that the Halloween episode was going to be shown between seasons 3 and 4 to give fans something to ease the long wait. Fingers crossed that they show season 3 right after season 2 ends…..

  36. luval says:

    Good morning. Read the Brad Pasley thread over there and unfortunately I am thinking Idol may go this route. I’m familiar with him but geez WGWG will certainly win again.

    I cannot stop watching PopThatLock from Sacramento. It is amazing. Talc video is the one that I think captures everything. Love what looks like a young boy having a great time in the front row.

    Hi AL! Sorry about the oversight in not including the Link in the Pretty Little Liars post last night! Blush I always include Links so don’t know what I was I thinking. I guess that’s just it … I wasn’t. Didn’t mean to cause you any extra work searching for the source! Won’t happen again.

    I’d like to wish you and yours a very Happy 32nd Anniversary!! Present Drink

    Enjoy that Thai dinner this evening. Plate

    mils I posted on that thread quite a bit under my twitter name. Didn’t realize that you had made that comment. You can tell a lot of posters are happy that the rumour mill is pointing elswhere but not too nasty at this point. Didn’t realize MJ closed the thread.

    Thanks cwm for posting the adorable photo of Adam, Sauli and Mason.

    fwachdr it s very cute tummy…

  41. Ron says:

    Very nice pic of Adam and Sauli with the baby.

    That Sauli is just a copy cat! I’m positive he decided to grow the moustache and beard after he saw me for that split second in Ste.-Agathe one year ago. Wink Probably took him a year to grow it. Laugh

    I wouldn’t have thought so but I think it really suits him. He looks good. They’re both looking good these days!

  42. rs says:

    Thanks cwm for posting that pic. Sooooooo precious. So many of his close friends have had babies lately, and I have no doubt that he will have a very special relationship with each and every one of them. Lucky kids. Now we just have to wait patiently till he decides to have his own……..

  43. dcglam says:

    Read the Brad Pasley thread over there and unfortunately I am thinking Idol may go this route. I’m familiar with him but geez WGWG will certainly win again.

    I tend to agree with you, luval, and I know that is what triggered my Debbie Downer post last night.

    It has been so nice to be able to put faces to familiar names since we met in London: cwm, little dutchess, HK fan, TLKC, tchrsd, Northern Spirit, lolaglam, ovationimpact, mieps, paulanation,. (who did I forget? sorry) In addition to those of you I already knew, the list is getting long for someone who lives on the other side of the world. Amd mils, I am waiting to meet you here in September.High Five!

    Christian Science Monitor

    American Idol confirms that Mariah Carey will be joining the judging panel for Season 12. Here are 5 good reasons why Adam Lambert should follow.

    Lambert becomes an even more attractive candidate for the final spot. Here are five reasons why Adam Lambert could prove to be the perfect addition:

    rs, you are so sweet, but, we won’t be coming in Sept. The boys will be going themselves. We might be able to bring them home in June, we’ll see.

  47. rs says:

    aw mils, that is too bad. I was looking forward to meeting you. Why don’t you come visit them and get out of the Wisconsin winter for a couple of weeks?

    Album sales from Idol Chatter:

    Adam Lambert, Trespassing (3,000, -9%, 144,000) (#185 BB200)

    At this rate Trespassing will fall out of the Billboard 200 in another few weeks. Historically, once albums fall out of the 200 it is very difficult to revive them. If Adam does not end up getting the Idol gig, and lacking any significant radio airplay at this time, it becomes difficult to see what path he will have to keep Trespassing viable much longer. Queen collaboration may become his only choice at that point.

    On a lighter note – the toaster oven is up for grabs again today as we are closing in on comment #40,000 since the site started. I will be asleep during the day but will do my best to determine the winner, if it happens before I wake up.

  49. Ceddies says:

    Read the Brad Pasley thread over there and unfortunately I am thinking Idol may go this route. I’m familiar with him but geez WGWG will certainly win again.

    I didn’t even go over there to read it, but I immediately thought that this is the way they will probably go. You know he has been paired with Carrie Underwood several times on country award show hostings—not that I watch, just saw bits and pieces when my mom was watching.
