Adam Lambert Gets Freaky

So lately the celebrity world has dwindled, or at least my interest in it has. With the holidays coming up, the NBA games getting intense, and the general lack of time I have for anything other than studying, it’s been a little difficult to keep up with the crazy stuff celebrities have been doing. Fortunately for me, Adam Lambert has encouraged me to find interest once again.

If you missed the American Music Awards, then you missed one of the most scandalous performances of the year. Adam Lambert delivered a great version of his latest single “For your entertainment” complete with hip thrusting and a make out scene. MAKE OUT SCENE?!?! Yes, the man showed no shame during his song and dance as he grabbed his keyboardist, who seemed quite shocked, and engaged in a heated lip lock on stage. Power to him! If it weren’t for the fact that everyone seemed quite surprised and appalled by this, and YouTube didn’t freak out by blocking all the videos, it would have been a complete rock out moment. Too bad he just got a little carried away.

Despite the dirty little scenes he displayed, it was a great performance over all. In fact, the best thing to do is just watch it for your self. So here is the only link I could find that hasn’t been blocked: CLICK.

Lady Gaga - Kanye Tour Epic Fail

November 10th was going to be a big day in Phoenix; it was going to be the kick off to Lady Gaga and Kanye West's North American Fame Kills Tour, until West revealed that he will be taking a break for a while to figure things out. Apparently the Jay Leno interview didn't settle well with him, but hopefully it's taught him a lesson. (One beyond Obama calling him a jack ass). Check out West on Jay Leno if you missed it. In my opinion, Leno asking about how Kanye's mom would have felt about the Taylor Swift situation was the best thing for him. Even if this was just another publicity stunt, as some have ventured to accuse West of pulling again, it still had to have some effect on his stupid actions. The entire interview seemed awkward and insincere, but good for Kanye. He's actually saying nice things so he definitely deserves a pat on the back. Was Leno crossing the line asking about his dead mother? That's a topic for a completely whole other day.

The real news is Lady Gaga and Kane West will not be going on tour together. Why is that? Well, it's a little difficult to understand right now and it seems like no one will explain much soon either. Gaga apparently feels sorry for West, commenting on his poor judgement to be more of a small "random moment". She also ventured to say people could sometimes get carried away with all of the gossip, but is this really the case? Sure, our society has slowly become one of celebrity-ogling, obsessive fans; the fact of the matter is this isn't the first time he's done something like this, so Gaga is making no sense right now! His trending gossip will only make better for tickets sales. Either she doesn't want to go on tour with him because he's known for making a fool of himself, or she feels so bad for him she would hate for him to also go on tour with a woman who is confused about her own body parts -- yes this is in reference to her supposed male organ.

Honestly, I think Kanye has just figured out that his games are no longer tolerated. If this was a publicity stunt, he'd only be using it to up ticket sales for this now canceled tour. Instead, all purchases made will be refunded in full. Many people, even Kanye fans, will see that this cancellation is actually good for the "voice of this generation". If he's smart, he will use this time to contemplate the massacre he made of an important moment in a colleagues life, and perhaps even have enough time to think about his earlier scandals. Sorry Lady Gaga, even if you do feel sorry for West, you're outfits still scare many of us and we don't feel bad for your tour.

What is with great music and lame artists that make it? When will there ever be a happy medium?

Black Eyed Peas once again charged with being unoriginal

Will.i.am and Fergie are two of the biggest stars in the music scene. Their music is virtually everywhere, played everyday, and recently Will.i.am played a rather ridiculous role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He's not a bad actor, but apparently he's a bad song writer. The two are now drowning in their third law suit of the year for a copyright infringement on Fergie's song "Voodoo Doll" off of her album The Duchess.

Ever heard of a band called Groundation? Yeah, me neither. According to several sources, Groundation's "Each One Teach One" was pretty much edited slightly and retitled for Fergie. It's not easy to knock down such a fabulous combo of performers, especially since there can only be so many songs before some of them begin to sound similar. Not to mention, lyrics aren't all that original. Thoughts can only be worded so many ways. Ideas can be conveyed until a point when they begin to say the same thing. Feelings have few ways of being expressed.

Okay, enough of that. Unfortunately, the band is also caught up in a lawsuit concerning their 'Black, Blue, and You' tour which hit cities all over the country in 2007. One of their employees filed the lawsuit three weeks ago, complaining that she fell through a flight of stairs during a performance in Burbank, California. The woman reported she had permanent injuries from the fall. Before this tragic incident, DJ Adam Freeland, from Britain, accused the Peas of stealing his beats. According to Freeland, "Party All the Time" by the Peas had the same beat as his song "Mancry."

That's just too bad for the two hot stars. As of now, none of their lawsuits has been settled or heard more from. Good luck you two!
