Susan Boyle’s Teen Burglar Busted

She’s fielded a marriage proposal (kind of), turned Adam Lambert (not like that), and witnessed justice being served (no qualifiers necessary!). All in all, a pretty full week for Susan…

Susan Boyle Is Leaving Scotland

Susan Boyle is leaving her native Scotland and moving to London after security was breached by an intruder at her home in West Lothian. A source said: “She has now agreed to move to a place in the city, where she’ll stay when busy working. During promotion commitments, it is thought she will stay for weeks at a time.” Luckily, “the flat will be cat-friendly, so she can take Pebbles too.” Phew! Related Links:

Ke$ha Calls Out Britney Spears for Lip-Synching "Bull$hit"

A couple weeks ago, we were criticized for writing that Adam Lambert blasted Susan Boyle’s album and rendition of “Wild Horses.” Fans of the American Idol finalist thought that was a misrepresentation of his comments. But make no mistake now: Ke$ha has very much torn into Britney Spears. In a new interview, the outspoken singer was asked about Britney’s habit of lip-synching during concerts and replied : “I think that’s bull$hit. I don’t think that’s fair at all for people who are going to see the show. If you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance.” “If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I would never do that to my fans… It’s treating people as if they are too stupid to realize you are not actually singing… I would rather be off and be real and genuine about it to my fans.” This isn’t the first time Spears has been called out for pretending to sing live. A few months ago, fans in Australia walked out of Britney’s Circus tour due to the singer’s shoddy lip-synching and general performance. What do you think of Ke$ha’s comments? Fair or foul?

The Boyle Brothers Worry: Susan Is In Serious Trouble

Susan Boyle might be enjoying professional success – her debut album broke chart records around the globe and she performed this month at the Sanremo music festival in Italy – but the singer’s siblings are worried about the toll this is taking on her personally. “The traveling and the whole [fame] thing is exhausting. She still has her anxieties and her loneliness,” brother Gerry tells People in its latest issue . Susan’s brother John is even more blunt in the assessment of his sister: “She needs 24-hour care. She needs to be looked after.” Someone broke into Boyle’s home last month and the singer reportedly hasn’t been the same since. She often makes late-night calls to family and friends, pal Lorraine Campbell says. “She knows she can come up to me anytime,” said Campbell. “If she’s upset, she’ll stay the night. Security would bring her up to my house. I take her home in the morning. Susan stayed with me a week ago. Nighttime is a lonely time for her.” Hang in there, SuBo. We wish you the best.

Adam Lambert Describes Personal Style as "Glam, Chic, Playful"

A day after an Internet uproar was created over Adam Lambert’s critique of Susan Boyle , we know how badly fans of the singer want the spotlight to shift away from this topic. Trust us: we really know. We’ve been engaging in a lively debate with supporters over their occasionally intense reaction to negative talk about Adam. But as fellow fans of the talented crooner, we agree: let’s move on. Let’s make sure Lambert is NOT misquoted when it comes to his personal sense of style. With that in mind, we’ve posted an extensive interview with Adam below. In it, he chooses three words to describe his fashion taste; dishes on the outfits he wore on American Idol and in music videos; and comes across as the well-spoken star millions and millions admire.

Dear Adam Lambert Fans: Chill Out!

Earlier today, we posted an article with the headline ” Adam Lambert Rips Into Susan Boyle .” Did we aim to capture the attention of readers with it? Of course. Did we then explain the situation – in which Lambert referred to Boyle’s album as “terrible,” laughed about her single “Wild Horses” and then said he was misquoted, while not providing his real quote – in great detail? Yes. Did Lambert fans seem to care about the latter point? Not one bit. The instant they saw one negative word written about Adam, his supporters went off. They told us we were being unfairly critical of the singer; that he was entitled to his opinion; that we were fueling the hate against him. Because we now feel as though we’ve been unfairly criticized, especially in light of the positive Lambert articles we’ve written for months, allow us to respond to each of these points: Adam is a mega celebrity. Every word he utters will be scrutinized. As such, he should have realized that his labeling of Boyle’s album as “terrible” would result in the stir it’s created. We simply pointed that out. Of course Lambert is entitled to his opinion. And we’re entitled to respond to it with ours. This is the basis for all celebrity gossip sites, television reviews, movie reviews and pretty much every editorial ever written. Aside from those that simply don’t have a taste for his music, people hate Adam Lambert for one reason: he is a proud, gay man. These critics are homophobes. We will never cater to them, we will only pity them and nothing we say will ever change their minds. While we admire Lambert’s fans for their enthusiasm and dedication, we sometimes feel as though they treat Adam like he’s a child in need of their immediate, undying defense. Lambert would be the first to tell them thank you… but calm down. He’s not a saint. He’s just a regular person. That’s really Adam’s main appeal: he’s a normal guy that is open to discussing his sexuality and appreciates the opportunity he’s been given. But he may say a dumb thing or two. He may put out a single we dislike. When that happens, we’re gonna call Adam out on it. Are readers entlted to get mad at us for it? Absolutely. We just fear they’re defending Adam in a way that he wouldn’t appreciate. He’s never asked for any special treatment. We’re sure he wants nothing more than to be analyzed and written about like any artist out there. This may result in some people hating him, and that’s okay. It also may result in some of his biggest followers – like the THG staff – taking issue with a few of his decisions. Not only do we think this is also okay, we think it’s exactly what Adam would want.

Adam Lambert Says Susan Boyle’s Album Made Him Laugh

‘I’m happy for her success, but that album is terrible,’ Lambert says of LP that outsold his own. By Jocelyn Vena Adam Lambert Photo: Mark Von Holden/ WireImage When Adam Lambert released his debut album For Your Entertainment in November, he was able to best both Rihanna and pal Lady Gaga on the albums chart. But he was still outsold by one other reality show contestant: Susan Boyle. “I know, if only it weren’t for Susan Boyle!” the “American Idol” alum joked in the March issue of the U.K.’s Gay Times magazine “I’m happy for her success, but that album is terrible. [The cover of the Rolling Stones’] ‘Wild Horses’ is the one that made me laugh the hardest. I just died when I heard it. I was crying with laughter. It was the most horrendous, sacrilegious treatment of that song!” And though his criticism of Boyle’s album sounds harsh, Lambert is more intent on silencing his own critics. “Still, when my album charted, it was validating,” he added. “I was feeling bit attacked, like I had to vindicate something. I thought: ‘Wow, look what I did.’ ” Three months after his American Music Awards performance , Lambert told the magazine that he’s still surprised by the public’s response to the show. “It catches me off guard,” he said. “In my circle, and in a lot of the underground clubs and performance spaces in Los Angeles nobody thinks twice about it, they love it. Then I gave what I thought was a harmless performance and everybody jumps down my throat about it. And I’m like, ‘Sorry, I didn’t realize it was going to be that big a deal.'” Lambert also didn’t think his glam album cover for For Your Entertainment would be so talked about. “With the soft focus, and the retouching nobody would have said a word [if it was a girl on the cover],” he said. “Here in the States, a lot of people are really uncomfortable with it, which is hilarious.” Earlier this month, Lambert told MTV News that he was excited to tour overseas, where he thinks his on- and offstage antics won’t seem so controversial. “I think the European audiences are generally a little more liberal,” he said. “I’m sure there are certain things that I do that won’t upset people as much as they do here.” Related Videos MTV News Extended Play: Adam Lambert Related Photos MTV News’ 2009 Men Of The Year: #3 Adam Lambert MTV News’ 2009 Women Of The Year: #8 Susan Boyle Related Artists Adam Lambert Susan Boyle

Adam Lambert Rips Into Susan Boyle

They were linked throughout 2009 as artists that burst onto the scene and captured the heart of music fans in wholly contrasting ways: Adam Lambert was loud, in your face, sexy, gay, proud and confident. Susan Boyle was quiet, timid, reliant on an opera-like voice that’s been hidden inside a (let’s face it) ugly body. Both released debut albums in November, with Boyle’s breaking records and dominating the charts for months. Lambert’s fared well, but it didn’t stand out in nearly the same way. Now, Adam has ripped into the Scottish singer, saying in a recent interview : If only it weren’t for Susan Boyle! I’m happy for her success, but that album is terrible. “Wild Horses” is the one that made me laugh the hardest. I just died when I heard it, I was crying with laughter. It was the most horrendous, sacrilegious treatment of that song! We’re enormous fans of Lambert and have defended him against critics since his run on American Idol . But it’s hard to have any reaction to these comments aside from: Bitter much?!? Lambert’s honest and open attitude is a major appeal, but anyone can go too far. When the target is a singer who has outsold him by millions, the attack just seems fueled by jealousy and pettiness. There’s plenty of room on the charts for you and Susan, Adam. Just relax, keep making great music and have no doubt that you’ll be around for many, many years.
