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.

your kidding?

[goodgravy]

why are straights so morbidly obsessed with what we do with our junk?

[luvobama]

No idea. Straight, and don't get it.

[solid]

No idea either. I'm straight, and as far as I am concerned, you can pursue life, liberty, and happiness whatever way you choose as long as you aren't hurting other people.

[The Albany Kid]

Because constant exposure to GLBT issues (gay marriage, gay adoption, which gay celeb started a relationship with a new partner, etc.) in today's media has generated curiosity.­....before the media took this turn, e.g., back in the 50s, I doubt that many straight people obsessed about what GLBT folks did in their bedrooms.

In fact, most straight people I know respect the rights of gays and lesbians to do whatever they want to do behind closed doors, as long as they (the straight people) don't have to hear about it.

[johninbigd]

Gay people have to hear about what straight people do all the time. Why the double standard? (Note: I don't think they care what straights do, by the way.)

[LooktotheLeft]

I'm not...fran­kly, I'm too morbidly obsessed w/ what I do w/ MY junk

[YLS2007]

Oh my goodness. Who among us could have ever seen this shocker coming?

[RobChattaTN]

every gay man in the world!!! duh

[randomx6]

irony not your strong suit?

[Steamboater]

You don't have to win American Idol to win after all. Lambert gets a Rolling Stone cover story and Kris Allen gets to sing with Mike Huckabee LOL. Leave it to that wonderful queen to come out in style too.

[wilray]

LOL for sure. Allen is being pigeonholed as the MOR Christian Rocker. I'm not certain that he was planning on dentist offices and elevators when he signed on for Idol.

[SweetTart]

LOL! Adam is awesome. I liked Kris too, but he's very bland and boring (and safe). Adam is truly unique and amazingly talented. I personally don't care about his sexuality -- just keep on singing!

[johninbigd]

I don't care at all about his sexuality. He is quite talented, but I am annoyed at his tendency to turn every song into a screech-fest. Adam, dude, we know you have a high voice and can scream with the best of them. You don't have to do it in every freaking song!

[SD Indy]

Take that Ms. Prejean!

[Steamboater]

Actually Miss PreTEEN said she liked Adam the best but it was only a ruse to salvage some credibilty to show herself as reasonable and not bigoted.

[NeldaDee]

Dur-dee-dur-dur.

[GOBLOX]

As if... the mascara, painted finger nails & afeminate style didn't give him away. PS. I'm openly hetero.

[KodeBloo]

You're also openly illiterate, if your spelling of effeminate is any indication of your education.

[PCdoc]

did you ever watch MTV in the 80's Sparky??

[KodeBloo]

Don't goad him or he'll have to remind everyone again that he is all-hetero.

[Imhotep40]

Why he exudes such masculinity, machismo, a veritable "Ladies Man"

Who knew! . . . . stop the presses!

[Steamboater]

I can guarantee you Lambert still stands up when he takes a piss.

[KodeBloo]

Maybe Imhotep40 will be able to sleep at night now.

[Imhotep40]

Facetious was my goal . . . . . questioning his manhood was not.

Lambert's gayness shouldn't be the focus . . . . his raw talent, artistic growth etc. (public's business) should.

[NC2NJ]

Gay or str8.. who cares but Ray Charles could have seen this...

[RobChattaTN]

hiLARious!

[2pt]

omg! No Spoilers!

[Michele Himmel]

Such a shock! *faints* No one could guess he was gay! lol

[hypnotoad72]

Good for him.

Yo, if it's nobody's business, why advertise to the whole universe? (Ironic; I know why, but my reasons are self-defense; it is not abnormal for non-heteros to not buy into or live the stereotypes accorded..­.)

[oafishcad]

He better not try and get married.

[OKnight]

why, u propose...

[Steamboater]

I would. He's smart, extremely talented, handsome, has quite a package probably has something to say the next morning other then, "I'll call you."

[fcsakes]

Is this a surprise to anyone in the world?

[suemag]

Who cares? He can sing his a** off, gay or straight.

[hypnotoad72]

Best response of the lot!

[suemag]

I thank you and my dog thanks you!
