Adam Lambert comes out in Rolling Stone, admits to crush on Kris Allen
Adam Lambert comes out in the new issue of Rolling Stone.
See the cover and get the scoop on Adam's sexuality and his new album!
Adam, "who is proud of my sexuality," tells RS: "I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear I'm gay.
"I've been living in Los Angeles for eight years as a gay man. I've been at clubs, drunk, making out with somebody in the corner."
Lambert also tells RS that he almost told reporters after the "Idol" finale but thought coming out in Rolling Stone would be "cooler."
Lambert also acknowledged that winner Kris Allen was totally his type. And he found it "distracting" when producers put them in the same room at the beginning of the show.
"I think he's happier that he can be himself and it's nice," Allen told People about Lambert's relationship with hunky Drake LaBry, with whom he's been photographed holding hands. "Adam is who he is and he's not afraid. I support him in whatever he does."
Allen has met Adam's friend LaBry, thinks he a really nice guy and calls the two young men a "cool combination."
"Drake's from Louisiana and Adam is from L.A.," he told People. "But they click well and they're really nice together."
Are you surprised by the news?
UPDATE: 8:49 AM: Adam Lambert has signed a record deal with 19 Entertainment and RCA Recordings. His debut album is expected in the fall.
"I'm thrilled that we've come to a creative and collaborative partnership and look forward to developing a really exciting album," Lambert's statement says. "We are 100 percent on the same page and are all anxiously awaiting the start of the recordings. It's going to be ridiculous! Get Ready!!!"

A lot of this sounds completely made up. o-o
YAY! Drake is a hottie!
And...??
What is the significance of that green snake looking at his you-know-what?
So f-ing Sexy! I love this man, I love the cover and I love his honesty. Now finally the media can STFU about him being gay and focus on other things! Right? RIGHT??
Not surprised at all. It was obvious all along, ppl.Glad he came out once and for all. Am so happy that he's embracing his sexualiy. Now.. can't wait for his albums! Rock on Adam!
I'm totally not surprised. I just assumed Adam was gay and not hiding it at all from the time he auditioned for AI. I don't think Adam really tried to hide it at all.
I am sorry for all of us women that Adam is Gay, because I think the women all hoped he was not. No I am not surprised I think everyone has known.
All of the gay community will be dreaming away and fantasizing.
I think he is gorgeous and I love his voice. I will fantasize that he is not gay and I am younger, smile, LOL. I will still listen to his outstanding voice and would love to see him perform again.
Is this a surprise? Are you kidding? I'm glad he didn't "come out" on AI. No one "came out" as being straight. It's not a sexuality contest, it's a singing contest. He came out as a great singer. Enough said.
I love that we live in a world where "Adam Lambert comes out in Rolling Stone, admits to crush on Kris Allen" is a headline.
