Adam Lambert Openly Gay, Planning 'Coming Out' Magazine Cover

'American Idol' runner-up Adam Lambert is not only openly gay, he is planning a Rolling Stone cover to confirm it after months of speculation, reports the NY Post.

'Idol' judge Kara DioGuardi is on a pretaped 'View' airing Friday, and during her sit-down she says he is out.

"I don't think that Adam was ever in [the closet]," she tells the ladies. "I think he was always openly out."

Meanwhile, Friday's NY Post reports he will be on the cover of next week's Rolling Stone.

"AMERICAN Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert has steadfastly refused to talk about his sexuality despite photos of him on his Web site tongue-kissing men and dressed in full drag -- but not for much longer. A well-placed magazine source tells Page Six that Lambert will be coming out officially on the next cover of Rolling Stone.

Neither Rolling Stone or Lambert's rep confirmed the cover news when called by the paper.

Leave Adams sexuality alone. Geeeezzz...we already knew he was gay...and I don't care. I'm still a huge ADAM fan.

[housecalls50]

ummm, you might wanna tell Adam...he's the one sanctioning this cover and subsequent article!

Truly, nobody gives a horses rear....as long as I don't have to hear him sing, I don't care who or what he does.

[NoSillyName]

That makes him an even better replacement for Mercury than he already was.

Queen, yuck.

[RODERICK098]

Bet you can't sing any of Queen's songs

[LoRiseAntlers]

You know,even though I doubt I will live to see it,it'll be nice when nobody has to "come out",because they will have stopped caring about something that is,fear-mongering aside,inconsequential.

[simmike777]

Let me ask you, when did you all come out as straight? Was anyone pounding on your door requesting an answer?

[RobChattaTN]

inquiring minds
just HAVE to know!
that's show biz

[RODERICK098]

Usually its closet cases that have to know.

[TruthmongerII]

I've never watched this show but he's young & hot so maybe I'll check this out in the future, with the sound muted.

Really?(Homer Simpson voice over)

I couldn't tell.

[wilray]

Homer Sexual

[Stonybrooke2]

LOL

[BartRoberts]

Adam Lambert is gay??? Who woulda thunk it?

And no one could tell Richard Simmons and Clay Aiken were also gay, too, I bet.

[Bitsko]

Yet another reason not to listen to pop music made after 1983.

[harhar2]

Or watch any movies made after 1950. Seriously I don't know why I bother writing anymore about Adams Lambert's talent. But that's fact for me. He's extremely talented and probably would have won this silly contest except for the anti-gay thing.

[ThePhilosopher]

While I find American Idol to be a so-overly-commercialized and sappy show as to induce nausea, I agree that the show does still uncover some great talent which is why I do ocassionally watch it. Adam may be associated with this commercialized crap, but he himself is incredibly talented and, hopefully, will go far in the business. The only other contestant this year who I think that applies to is Allison Iraheta...

This is news? I thought everyone knew.

[MrMike513]

He blew the glass out of 5 gaydar units here with some of those high notes.

[carsntrucks]

Oh great. So now the three teenage girls who still believe Adam's straight will finally find out about Adam's sexual orientation.

[slaxx]

zzzzz. he gets paid for this? come on, you can be "out" without being "out."

[smalltownlady]

I could care less if he is Gay. It is none of anyone's business. That said, I don't care for his squeaky tongue wagging voice and I think he is a self centered jerk.

[RobChattaTN]

sounds as if u r living up to ur name...

[smalltownlady]

and your real name must be just the beginning of mine. (SMALL)

[Kiabell04]

Your comments indeed prove that you are in fact...a small (minded) town girl.

[OregonGary]

Who this man loves, or aspires to love, is of no concern to intelligent people.

[NPA]

Exactly, this is news?

[RobChattaTN]

as they say, 'that's entertainment'
one of the most influential businesses in the world
we best pay attention

Thank you

"Real news" as you put it are like people and comes in different variations. If we learned to live with these differences, the world would be a better place.
