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.)


Take a Look at All The People Who Ignored Levi Johnston Last Night

Last night was the GQ Men Of The Year party and soooo many celebs were there.  Everyone from Kate Bosworth who arrived with her new beau Alexander Skarsgard, to Lindsay Lohan who appeared to have a bungee cord wrapped around her head.

Zach Galifianakis was there (you know he’s my fave) as well as Kim Kardashian, Kobe Bryant and Beet’s girl crush, Olivia Wilde.  Tons of celebs — they’re all in the gallery — shared one thing in common.  They all ignored poor Levi Johnston.  Maybe they didn’t talk to him because they think he’s a sleaze for selling out the Palin family, though I suspect the more likely reason for the snub was that they didn’t recognize him with the full face of makeup.

“Steven, he isolates more and more all the time — that’s what gives it away to me that there’s something going on.  I don’t know what that is. I know he’s made some not so great choices and he’s got some negative influences around him now. I love the guy. I just want to see him get some help.”

Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer in a Billboard.com interview, revealing that Steven Tyler has distanced himself from the group.  You can read the whole article here, but it sounds like Tyler may have relapsed.


Tila Tequila Has Totally Lost Her Shit

Oh, guys.  If it wasn’t for the fact that we’re talking about famewhore Tila Tequila, this wouldn’t even be funny.  Tila has totally lost her mind.  Even her own lawyer thinks so.  Tila did a live stream earlier today, stark naked and stark raving mad, talking about everything from her real purpose in life — “I am an angel … because I am here to save the world with my army.” — to the real reason for her homosexuality:  ”People call me an attention whore .. or whatever … but excuse me I’m a grown ass woman and I’m confident in myself …I think a woman’s body is a beautiful thing … that’s why I’m a lesbian … I was born naked … anybody who is against that is gay and in denial.”

Attorney Cyrus Nownejad tells TMZ he thinks the “domestic violence” incident with Shawne in September may have “pushed her over the edge.”
Nownejad acknowledges something is seriously wrong with Tila and he’s trying to figure out how to get her some help.

Tila just took down her Ustream, showing her dancing nude and talking crazy in front of the camera. She also went off on Shawne and his alleged drug use.

Oh, dear God above, please let there be recorded footage of this somewhere.  Please.


I Can’t Properly Express How Happy It Makes Me To Type “Jenna Jameson” and “Oprah” in the Same Sentence

First of all, I can’t believe PotatO Head had an icky porn star on her show.  Isn’t O too busy scarfing down boxes of Potato Buds leading her most pure and authentic life to be bothered with chicks who work the pole on film?  Doesn’t she have a like, school to build?

Nope, Oprah has been wallowing with the common folk all month — she had Sarah Palin on last week … uh, highest Oprah ratings in the past two years — and yesterday she had Jenna Jameson (though, who hasn’t had Jenna Jameson at some point?) on the show.  Jenna tried to play it like almost all of her porn movies were filmed with her ex-husband Jay Gardina.  Jameson claims that doing porn with her husband is the reason her movies were so popular — you could “see love.”  She’s conveniently forgotten about the seven years of sex on film that she was involved with prior to meeting him.

Listen, this is a celebrity gossip blog — it’s a casual setting ’round here.  I’m not going to bury you with my own personal commentary on the pros and cons of porn.  But when Slut Barbie says, with a completely straight face, that she wanted to be the best porn star in the world and wanted to do her job with “dignity” I’m gonna laugh.  ’Kay?  There’s just no dignity in being famous for your on-film blow job performances.  Watch the video of that portion of the interview here.


Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Sure Are Expensive in Brad Pitt’s World

I guess there comes a time in a celebrity’s life when he or she just has enough money.  Brad Pitt — and unrelated, but can we just take a moment to analyze Brangie’s body language in a photo taken last week? — obviously has reached that stage since he forfeited $5M to trick or treat with his kids on Halloween.

Pitt was offered five million bucks to appear at the Grand Prix Ball Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates on October 31st and turned it down.  Well, according to the event’s organizer, Pitt actually accepted the offer but then ended up being a no show. “We were told he would be attending as the guest of the Tourism Development & Investment Company.  But he was a no-show, and nobody seemed to know why.”

Beyonce, Timbaland and Aerosmith are not yet rich enough — they all appeared and performed.


Michael Moore Gets No Love From Oscar

Michael Moore is one of the most commercially successful documentary filmmakers of the past decade, certainly.  Frankly?  The Academy of Motion Picture Arts isn’t impressed.  They don’t care that Moore’s latest accomplishment, Capitalism:  A Love Story,  made $14M at the box office which is a huge amount for a documentary.

The short list of films is determined by a committee of members of the academy’s documentary branch. They watch all eligible contenders and vote for their favorites by secret ballot. The top vote-getters make the short list of potential nominees.

The selections this year are “The Beaches of Agnes,” “Burma VJ,” “The Cove,” “Every Little Step,” “Facing Ali,” “Food, Inc.,” “Garbage Dreams,” “Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders,” “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers,” “Mugabe and the White African,” “Sergio,” “Soundtrack for a Revolution,” “Under Our Skin,” “Valentino The Last Emperor” and “Which Way Home.”

Aw, Michael.  It look like you were just a bit too controversial and now the little designer raisin better known as Valentino is going to snag the coveted award that shoulda been yours.
