> [@gaffa](#): > > Buddy Cole said it best -[some people you just don’t _want_ to be gay](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZX-sUGWt6o#t=1m33s). Huh—I never knew you could link to a YouTube video at any temporal point—thanks for the pointer. So what’s all this fuss about Lambert? I haven’t heard diddly-squat from him or of him since AI ended. What exactly is he up to these days? Personally I think the guy is downright cweepy, but he put on a good show during his AI stint. _Mad World_ was unquestionably one of his shiniest moments. ---

Just saw his version of Mad World. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any whinier and emo-er than that Donnie Darko version… ---

> [@lissener](#): > > Well, yeah, gaffa, but you’re spoiled, because of what you get to come to home to. Your standards are unrealistically skewed because of who you’re married to. I have to confess, that’s my problem too. Perhaps, without my partner, I’d be able to perceive at least one teensy molecule of hotness in Adam Lambert. ---

> [@gaffa](#): > > Seriously? As a heterosexual male I have to say that I find her not hot at all. She looks like a fairly average looking woman after many thousands of dollars worth of surgery, makeup, hairstyling, clothing, etc. But the raw material underneath all that just isn’t impressive. A beautiful woman is one who would be beautiful stepping naked and dripping out of a shower, and Carrie Prejean just doesn’t look like she’s pass that test. Her features just really aren’t classically attractive - her mouth and nose are too close together, her eyes are too far apart. Her handlers have done a great job with what they had to work with, but they could do the same job to much better result with any of thousands of other women. I can see far more attractive women walking around any day in downtown Chicago. BOY HOWDY am I glad to read this. That’s considered a beauty queen? WTF? Looks plastic and bland and average like a Barbie doll. Staple a couple grapefruit halves on the chest. And it is SO annoying to me, that combo of bleached hair and staring dark eyes, Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears have that and creep me out. ---

Great, now I have to go look up who the hell Carrie Prejean is. ETA: Ew. She looks frightening. ---

I agree with those who say she looks like thousands of dollars of handling, but underneath the fake tits, bleach and hour and a half of professional make up, is very bland. But frightening? Haha, that’s a bit much. ---

Has the Grinch’s heart grown three sizes today? 😛 Take a hard look at [this](http://www.topnews.in/files/Carrie-Prejean.jpg), and them mentally age it 25 years. Not an appealing image at all—one could _easily_ say it’s frightening. And before anybody says that that’s an unrealistic or unfair proof, here’s [my baby doll](http://www.ericlevonian.com/dee.jpg) when she was 25 years older than Prejean is now. The junior Republican from California would be lucky to do as well. ---

> [@lissener](#): > > Well, yeah, gaffa, but you’re spoiled, because of what you get to come to home to. Your standards are unrealistically skewed because of who you’re married to. Are you trying to be an ass, or what? On topic, I know who the guy is, but I’ve never heard him sing and probably will never hear him sing, except by accident. I like that he freaks out homophobes and I like that he makes regular people (not necessarily homophobes) uncomfortable. I love the cover of his album, it’s so retro. I think he’s adorable in the picture that Joey P linked to. Other than that, he’s pretty much off my radar. Prejean actually looked pretty good back when she was a [human being](http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/entertainment/celebrity_news/090512_Carrie_Prejean_Racy_Photos_from_TMZ), pre-boob job/face-fixing/right-wing asskissing transformation. ---

He looks like Mike Ness of the LA punk band Social Distortion. Or at least what Mike Ness looked like back in the early 80’s. Adam Lambert has captured that early 80’s dark side adrogenes punk look and made it purty. bleh. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > I resented all the assumptions made about him being gay before he came out. Why is it in this culture that just because a guy happens to be single and in the arts and happens to like wearing eyeliner and lots of glitter and happens to pose for multiple pictures frenchkissing scantily clad guys while scantily clad himself and is effeminate and dresses like Boy George and Liberace’s mutual nephew when he’s not in campy drag and has a retired profile on agay hookup profile and is not involved with a woman people automatically jump to the conclusion he’s gay? > > The ridiculous part is A.I. asking gay contestants not to comment on sexual preference when they can mention their wives or husbands or kids or girlfriends or boyfriends all they want. > > See, this is how rumors get started. Lambert may have his- own sense of style- but he did not pay the American Medical Association to give him a breast job and I resent the implication! (Well, okay, maybe he did- but if you have pancake nipples and plan to be shirtless then it’s only natural you want to go down to quarter size, and that’s fine, and Carrie Prejean’s grandfather fought under General Patton [which wasn’t easy cause that man was tough and hard to get out from under when he was drunk] so that you can get the AMA to fix your boobicular imperfections.) I thought that you were going to give us some info as to why some people get the idea that Adam Lambert was gay, instead of talking in circles. So, can \*anybody \*here tell us how the idea got started??? hh ---
