Adam Lambert’s debut album, For Your Entertainment, drops next week, and early reviews are in, and they’re awesome.

Says the Associated Press:

This vocal chameleon can be all things to all listeners, and he kills at whatever he sings. Lambert is equally adept at hard rock, pop, disco, and power ballads, often blending ingredients of several in a single track to produce unforgettable results.

The LA Times is less blatantly enamored, but still positive:

“For Your Entertainment” is a polished affair, but stylistically, it shows Lambert running loose like a kid in a Comme des Garçons store. With the Hollywood pop A-list at his disposal, he chose to go for it all: The only names missing from his list of collaborators are those firmly in the R&B camp (wouldn’t it be great if he worked with fellow drama club type Ne-Yo?) The results on “FYE” are inevitably mixed, but never a bummer; Lambert’s deft enough to avoid getting stuck in any one of the tropes he explores.

And Lady Gaga’s latest album, The Fame Monster, is streaming on Rhapsody for a full week before its store release. I’ve been listening to it like a freakin’ crack addict. I just love her and think she’s so immensely talented. If loving Lady Gaga is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. You can learn more and and listen to the album for yourself here. (Rhapsody actually gets a ton of albums a week before anyone else — you can find out who’s coming up on their exclusives list here.)

Ah, you know what a fan I am of Beyonce.  Watch B and Lady Gaga do high kicks and writhe around in multi-colored bustiers.  Enjoy!

Lady Gaga, famous singer who probably has a penis, claims that her lil sis is a huge Gossip Girl fan, so I’m sure she’ll be psyched to see what it looks like when her older, transgendered sister hits the stage at some club on the show. I can’t be bothered to watch Gossip Girl. I don’t like any television shows that were made after 1997, so my opinion doesn’t really matter here, but from the sneak peak above, it sure does look like a bunch of privileged kids are really enjoying watching this hermaphrodite sing her heart out while dressed like Boy George after he’s been put in the blender. Hooray for Hollywood!

And you know what? I love it. Is it un-hip in the world of snark to love Lady Gaga? Maybe, but I kind of do. I love this song, and I love the creative fashion in this video. I sometimes get annoyed with her running off to parties and awards shows in her avant-garde garb, but a music video is exactly where that shit belongs, and she pulls it off here with panache. The bathtub scene kind of reminds me of that scene in Britney’s “Everytime” video, but much cooler. And make sure to stay tuned until the last shot, which is hilarious and awesome.

Can someone tell me what she’s saying during the French part? Is that even French? I took a semester in college, but, ya know, I was pretty drunk in college. Actually, I took that final wasted — because who the fuck schedules a final exam at 8:30 pm on a Friday and expects a 19-year-old me to show up sober, right? — and got the highest score in the class. I was, like, Parisian that night. I do much better with foreign languages when I’m drunk, apparently. But I’m sober right now, so I have no idea what she’s saying.

I go back and forth between hating Lady Gaga and not being able to deny her catchy songs, but generally I think her over the top, dramatic costumes and stage shows are getting both played out and boring to watch. Being “different” can only be done so many times before it starts to be “the same”, right?

That’s how I feel about this clip from her new video “Bad Romance”. The costumes are over the top, the single sounds synthetic and poppy. Basically, it’s exactly what we’ve already seen all over again. Fans of Gaga might find that this is exactly the type of video they are hoping to get from their favorite artist, but for those of us out there who could still use some conversion, she’s not exactly selling anything new.

I don’t think we’ll see anything like this from her any time soon, but I would love it if Lady G took her (supposedly) great voice and did something mellow and simple with both her song and her video a la Sinead O’Connor and the “Nothing Compares to You” video. If she could still make a splash while cutting back on all the flair, that would be something to talk about.

Betsey Johnson made an appearance at Monday night’s ACE awards and she didn’t disappoint.  As always, she made sure that nothing on her body matched and even gave her ass an advertising opportunity.  It is her style.

Christian Siriano was looking tame and Diane von Furstenberg was looking sensational considering that she was mugged in Spain just a couple days ago.  Marc Jacobs showed up in a kilt and Lady Gaga was questioned in the burglary of Christina Aguilera’s face and Mischa Barton’s thighs.

Last night at the 13th Annual Human Right Campaign Dinner, which supports equal rights for all citizens, Lady Gaga took to the stage to do a cover of the John Lennon classic “Imagine”. Before her performance she said “I’m here tonight to represent those young people that are taking a stand and are going tomorrow to march with all of us.” The march, of course, is the National Equality March in Washington DC, which specifically is supporting the right for all US citizens to enter in to marriage with whomever they choose.

Her rendition of the song is only decent, but worth checking out.
