Adam Lambert Gets Personal, Aims to Liberate the Masses

Adam Lambert is simply a “crazy hedonistic rebel who wants to liberate the masses.” That’s what this former American Idol star says in the latest issue of Fault , explaining to the magazine how his public persona does not always jibe with his private one. “I’m not always as strong and confident as I may seem,” Adam says. “I work hard to project pride and poise when faced with judgement and heartache. That is how I cope. I feel a bit of pressure to set a certain example that suggests that I deserve my place in this industry. I’m hard on myself and critical.” And how does his upcoming album, “Tresspassing,” play into this dichotomy? “There are songs on [the CD] that deal with that anxiety,” he says. “Until I met my current boyfriend ( Sauli Koskinen ), I was always falling for the wrong guys, which caused my self worth to suffer. This is just some of what the album explores.” The album was originally scheduled for a March release, but has now been pushed back so Adam can “work on some new songs,” as he Tweeted a couple weeks ago.

Rihanna on Single Life: It Sucks!

In the wake of rumors that Chris Brown and Rihanna are hooking up and close to full-on reconciling, Rihanna has admitted that she’s not a fan of flying solo. “Single life is so overrated,” she said on Britain’s The Jonathan Ross Show . “It sucks. I have such incredible experiences in my life. You don’t want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone.” “That’s what I’m missing right now.” Though she insisted that she’s “not looking,” she’d “love to date somebody cool, fun, funny.” Possibly named Chris Brown? She did not name names. In any case, she’ll likely have a number of suitors to choose from. The 24-year-old pop star had to fight off all sorts of male attention during her most recent trip to London, where she partied for four days straight. A source inside Aura nightclub said, “Rihanna came in last Sunday and a stockbroker spent [$105,000] on champagne just so he could meet her.” Friggin 1 percenters. Rihanna said she’s found solace in another unlucky in love star: Adele . She confessed to attending the Brit Awards “just to stalk” the UK singer. “I saw her at the Grammys and I love her,” Rihanna told Ross about the British superstar. “I’m a big fan. … Her last album, 21, spoke to me so much.” “It was so personal to her, but I feel like everyone in the world identified with it, to the point that I had to stop listening because it was depressing me so much.” “If you identify with it, sometimes you don’t want to hear about it.” And sometimes it wins six Grammys. Anyway, Rih, you can call THG anytime if you wanna hang out. No real bad boys here, and our lives are a bit boring, but we’re good listeners. [Photo: Fame/Flynet]

Ben Flajnik on The Bachelor: WORST Experience Ever!

Ben Flajnik proposes to either Courtney Robertson or Lindzi Cox on the March 12 season finale of The Bachelor, to be followed by the After the Final Rose special. Not a moment too soon for the star, who has been miserable throughout the filming and aftermath of the hit show and reportedly hated his reality TV experience. According to sources, Ben taped the Women Tell All episode and was taken aback by all the bitterness, and overheard griping about the show during the taping. “Ben was talking to the producers and when they asked if he would do the show again he said ‘No way! This was the worst experience of my life,’” an insider said . According to the source, Ben wasn’t acting like a happy guy who is engaged to the love of his life (read our Bachelor spoilers page to learn who we think that is). “He wasn’t animated or excited and the insider said it is because he totally regrets going on the show,” the source said. “Ben couldn’t hide how miserable he was.” “Everyone could see that he wasn’t happy.” Ben Flajnik wasn’t the only person there in a bad mood. Courtney Robertson, the only finalist to go on ATFR in recent memory, was just as miserable looking. “Courtney was complaining and moaning ‘Can we stop this now?’ She was annoyed that the women were picking on her and the process was taking so long.” “A producer had to remind her ‘You’re doing this for you and Ben.’ She agreed but was rolling her eyes the whole time; she just couldn’t wait to get out of there.” ATFR airs Monday, with the finale a week later. On the show Ben has narrowed his choices down to Lindzi and Courtney for the final rose ceremony March 12. Only one of those two has been seen wedding dress shopping , but from his attitude at the recent taping, it doesn’t seem like Ben is happily in love right now. Who do you think Ben should choose on The Bachelor?

Mariah Carey: The First Post-Baby Performance!

Looking skinny and sounding as great as ever, Mariah Carey took to the stage in New York City last night for the first time since giving birth 10 months ago. “Do you love them babies?” she asked the crowd at one point of Moroccan and Monroe . “I really wanted to bring them here tonight, but Monroe is sometimes shy and takes a while to warm up to an audience. Rock and roll! Nah, but it’s late. It’s time for them to be asleep.” Donning a skintight black dress and covered in diamonds, Carey broke into such tracks as “It’s Like That,” “Obsessed,” “I’ll Be There,” and a new version of “Shake You Off.” Watch the latter below: Mariah Carey – “Shake You Off” (Live in NYC)
