Adam Lambert's Kissing Act at AMA

Stop slamming poor Lambert. He just happened to kiss someone from the same sex during his final performance at American Music Award on Sunday.

Over 1,500 complaints have kept pouring in on Monday against the American Idol Adam Lambert. The singer is charged with a kissing act with a male keyboard player during his performance. Besides, it was way beyond ABC’s expectation for one of Lambert’s dancers to stick his face in the singer’s crotch while he sang the S&M-themed performance of “For Your Entertainment”. The act was edited by the channel as the awards show was broadcast on a tape-delayed basis on the West Coast on Sunday.

“A lot of what I do is kind of freestyle. That’s how it was on ‘Idol.’ That’s how I perform. I like to have a framework, and just do stuff. So that kind of came about because of the connection that I had with that dancer”, the dancer explained to The Associated Press about the choreography.

Shart comments that sounded more hostile circulated online about the “American Idol” glam rocker’s performance. While Lambert followed the song’s lyrical theme, “It’s about to get rough for you”, he started to fondle one dancer and briefly pulled two dancers around on a leash.

Back in 2003, Madonna and Britney Spears briefly locked lips during the MTV Video Music Awards, raved similar outrage among the fans. Lambert had been openly gay and spoken about how provocative male performers could be onstage. There is no reason why the American Idol winner should be so largely criticized for an act of his choice.

In an interview with CNN, the singer told he is hurt and that his kiss was “in the moment”. Lambert also added that if if people were upset about it, “That’s a form of discrimination and it’s too bad”.

Timothy Winters, president of the Parents Television Council exclaimed that the people whole complained about Lambert’s kissing act are outraged and, “They just can’t believe the nature of the content, the explicit nature, and how much graphic content there was”.

Winters also added, “”These programs are wholly unsuitable for children now and it’s pathetic, given the amount of economic support that children and teenagers bring to the industry today”.

Ken Tucker, an entertainment Weekly writer, was sensible enough to speak in support of the singer.  He praised Lambert for raising the popularity of the show and for being “an event unto himself”. “As a TV viewer, I thought Lambert’s performance was a gas, a delight, a blast of brash vulgarity in the midst of merely ordinary vulgarity”, he also added.

Matthew Gilbert, a Boston Globe television critic, thought the act to he “pretty harmless”. He wrote on a blog, “It’s all posing and mugging and selling, not real honest provocation”.

Lambert was later quoted as saying in an interview with AP, “I had fun, my dancers had fun, the audience that was in the Nokia (Theatre) had fun. Anybody else who was watching it and enjoying it, thank you for being entertained. There are a lot of double standards as far as that goes. We’ve seen female pop and rock performers do that for the last 10 years. They’ve been very provocative, owning their power and sexuality. You just don’t see men doing it very often. And I’m hoping to break down that double standard with this number”.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears is back to news and this time with a new controversy. The singer fumes a message for the critics who blasted her performance while she was on her first tour of Australia. Britney stated that it’s all for the fans.

It is reported that her her first Australian performance last weekend was boring, stiff, mimed and lacking interaction with the audience. Spears’ manager along with the tour promoter hurried to support the U.S. pop singer after much of those present took a leave from the show due to the same.

The 27 year old pop diva was back to rebuild her career after much of a roller-coaster personal life that created controversial headlines, has responded to the outburst.

“I hear there is a lot of controversy in the media about my show. Some reporters have said they love it and some don’t. I came to Australia for my fans”, said Spears that has been widely criticized by the Australian media.

Paul Dainty, the promoter of Spears’ Australian tour, have been quoted as saying earlier this week that the criticism roused by the media about Spears’ lip-synching and a lackluster performance had left her “extremely upset”. He also claimed that it was a total fabrication to suggest that fans stormed out. The debate over lip-synching has been surrounding Spears since she arrived in Australia last week.

Spears’ personal website and Twitter account was flooded with personal messages from her thousands of Australian fans, who stated the her comeback as “amazing,” “awesome” and “brilliant”.

Pink

After Britney Spears, now it’s Pink with a circus themed show. And the pop singer regrets staging the show for her ongoing world tour “Funhouse.” She is being constantly compared to Britney, who launched her “Circus” tour in US early this March.

Pop singer Pink is taking her world tour to the United States this summer. But, she has come under the eye of critics who are accusing her of copying Britney’s “Circus” tour. Both Britney and Pink’s tours are based on the title of their latest albums. Both the singers have dancers in colorful costumes, acrobats, and wild acts in their stage shows.

Pink, however, denies copying Britney. Her album released last year just weeks before Britney’s album release, and she is emphatic that she was oblivious to the trend. “Had I known that certain other people were going to base their latest thing about circus things, I probably would have went into another direction. I was six months before that and didn’t really understand that it was a trend that was happening. I’m pretty out of the loop,” said Pink.

So there is another ‘circus’ coming your way!

Britney Spears

Pop diva Britney Spears is perplexed on coming to know of a property millionaire´s claim that he is engaged to her.

The superstar was romantically linked with a dancer on her Circus comeback tour. A few weeks after her return from the tour, a 40-year-old land developer John Sundahl announced that he has been dating her on and off since they met in rehab in 2007. He also added that he and the superstar are planning a spring wedding in Germany. This story comes from an interview that was given by Sundahl´s personal pilot Lance Chase to the National Enquirer.

This is what Chase said in the interview: ¨Britney and John used to date, but they reconnected after her show in New Jersey, and now they’re engaged. He got down on one knee in a Subway sandwich shop in Santa Monica (California) a week ago and proposed with a $4.5 million marquise-cut diamond. They plan on getting married at his aunt’s farm in Germany in six weeks.¨

New York Daily News approached the millionaire himself to get the story verified. And, he backed it up.  “Britney doesn’t want to do anything until the tour is over. She wants press for her tour and not for an engagement.”

Britney, however, was surprised to know about her own marriage. It was news to the popstar, who divorced hers econd husband Kevin Federline in 2007. Her representative has ridiculed Sundahl´s claims and has said ”Britney is not engaged. She did not get proposed to at Subway – she is currently on tour – she is not getting married on a farm in Germany. Oh, and she has not been abducted by aliens.”

Britney Spears

Getting her personal and professional life back on track costed Britney Spears legal fees amounting to $2.7 million. Of that, $417,000 was the price she had to pay to divorce Kevin Federline, and win over the custody of their children. The pop star had been married to Kevin for two-and-a-half years.

The legal costs were shown in papers filed by attorneys who were appointed by Britney’s father Jamie Spears to settle matters with Kevin in court. Fees given to the lawyers alone totaled $1 million. Lawyer Geraldine Wyle wrote “Since the initiation of the conservatorship, as a result of the concerted efforts of Mr. Spears as well as the professionals involved, all aspects of Ms. Spears’s life have been stabilized and continue to improve.” Now that the legal matters are over and Kevin is out of her life, Britney’s life and mental health is improving noticeably. She has got her children back; she is on the ‘Circus‘ tour; she is out of her troubled marriage. Price well paid!

Britney Spears

Britney Spears was in Miami for her “Circus” tour. A few hours before she took the stage, the young pop singer visited a group of sick children at Miami Children’s Hospital.

The surprise visit turned out to be more than pleasant when the pop diva donated a sum of $100,000 to the hospitals Big Apple Circus Clown Care program. The program has medically trained clowns who visit the kids and put on little shows at the hospital for the children.

The 27 year old star posed with the ill children to click photographs on her visit to the hospital. She spend a considerable amount of time there talking and laughing with the children before hitting the stage. She played the American Airlines Arena, which became a big hit that night.

“She took pictures with the kids and gave them autographed pictures. The kids were so excited to meet Britney, and having her here was a great distraction for them”, said the hospital spokesperson.

And now Britney brood is all excited and lending their support for the pop songstress.

These included “I’m a Slave 4 U,” “Toxic” and “…Baby One More Time” and of course “Womanizer”.

Britney Spears stunned the audience by entering in a slammer. The 27 year old pop star descended from the ceiling and dove into “Circus” and then “Piece of Me,” off of 2007’s ‘Blackout’.
