For the past couple of days, there's been some major drama between openly gay American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert and OUT magazine. I'll try to get you up to speed, but I apologize if I don't cover everything. It all started when the magazine's editor-in-chief Aaron Hicklin penned an open letter to the pop star.
Hicklin revealed that Lambert's handlers only agreed to let him pose on the cover if it was a group shot, preferably with someone straight. They were also urged to not make him look "too gay" on the cover, which is funny considering that his album cover is one unicorn away from being the gayest thing on the planet. Oh, and did I mention that they were asked to steer the interview away from "gay-gay" questions, particularly items of a political nature?
In true celebrity fashion, Mr. Lambert responded to all the drama via Twitter. This is what he had to say in his open letter: "Dear Aaron, it's def not that deep. Chill! Guess ya gotta get attention for the magazine. U too are at the mercy of the marketing machine. Until we have a meaningful conversation, perhaps you should refrain from projecting your publication's agenda onto my career." Meow!
So whose side are you rooting for? Perhaps they should settle this in an epic, naked cage match. Even though I don't really care about seeing Adam in the buff, Aaron Hicklin is a total salt & pepper fox!

Its he’s life and career so he should do what he wants….no?
ewww, arron hicklin is nasty.
If Adam is concerned about a gay image perhaps he might want 2 HETRO it up some and start by removing the 25lbs of makeup !!!
Adam Lambert is just a stupid tool! Needs to either butch it up or shut the hell up.
That cover looks like a bunch of vampires, all those dark colors. Wanda looks uncomfortable.
So when is Twinkie Lambert’s 15 min. of fame going to finally be up??? Sheesh! What a waste of space…
Wait…the most flaming male singer out there is concerned with looking “too gay”? Am I really reading that right?
Someone smack him upside the head for me. Lady Gaga’s even more flaming than he is and embraces it, why the heck doesn’t he?
Oh, right, teenage girl fans….why is he trying to appeal to them? Oh, right, they’re dumb enough to forget/ignore that he’s not interested in them.
Well, at least I fanwanked some logic in there..sorta…meh. Don’t rightly care. He’s an idiot either way really.
Who does Adam Lambert think he is? Madonna? This time next year, he’ll be begging for someone to write about him.
Agree with Dewitt though, Hicklin is HOT.
Soo doesnt adam realize that if he wasnt gay, what career would he be having? i mean really if he didnt come out, he would have been forgotten as fast as taylor hicks:)
Aaron Hicklin is my dream guy… would love to get my hands on him…
This just made me think of the screaming teenage girls at the American Idol concert up here in Syracuse, one of whom threw a bra at Adam. Needless to say, he had a confused look as he kept on singing. He gave the bra to the (apparently) straight male back-up singer.
So, I guess, apparently a decent portion of his main fan base does not realize he’s gay. Or at least they haven’t yet. Or they don’t know what “gay” means. ::shrug::
