Ahh, Hollywood week, we meet again. Well, we'll meet again next week. For now, though, another trip round the world of American Idol, beginning with a music video we've been waiting for so long for...
Adam Lambert's got a new music video out! It's for his new single "Better Than I Know Myself", the first single off his sophomore album
Trespassing. And it's quite split-personality. In a good way.
Lambert also revealed a few more details about his album, which hits stores next month. In an interview with
Sugarscape, he reveals that some of his new songs are about his boyfriend, Finnish reality star Sauli Koskonen. He's also pretty excited about a track called "Naked Love", which he calls "super fun pop-dance ... from the writers who did 'Moves Like Jagger' ... It's about wanting the kind of relationship that's no bulls---."
Hmm. Adam is looking more Finnish by the day. Or is it just the music video?
Elsewhere in the Idol-sphere...
No love for Randy Jackson, part one: legendary Broadway singer Betty Buckley went on a (really) lengthy Twitter tirade against the
Idol judge after his comments during the Aspen audition episode. Remember auditioner
Angie Zeideran, she who sang a number off Broadway musical
The Producers? Randy said showtunes "turn me off," adding that it "brings out the vibratto I don't like."
No love for Randy Jackson, part two: remember
when he called NBC's The Voice a show for "second chance people"? One of the show's coaches, Adam Levine, isn't amused. "Shame on Randy Jackson for saying that," he tells Ellen DeGeneres, in an episode of her talk show airing today. "He, of anybody; should know that if you're in this business you need second, third, fourth and fifth chances. So we love and embrace having that being part of the show."
Okay. Back to the
Idol-sphere. We talked about Nigel, and now
he's previewing Idol's Hollywood week episodes, which start this Wednesday: "[It is] so tough,"
he tweeted. "Five contestants collapsed, with one falling dramatically from the stage. It was extremely frightening." Or, said hopeful watched that
America's Got Talent episode where a guy danced his way off the stage.
Finally today,
what is William Hung up to? RumorFix found out that the former
Idol hopeful turned viral sensation (before that term was invented, frankly) is now working with the Los Angeles County Sheriff, working statistics for the Crime Analysis Program. Watch his whole interview below:
Is a CSI appearance in the cards? Maybe if he has time.
