Straight Up Now Tell Me

National Enquirer (October 26, 2009) concern-trolls homophobia on American Idol by postulating that Ellen's presence will keep Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest from gay-baiting each other. If I'm being honest...I don't buy it. 

Judge Not

The announcement of Ellen DeGeneres as Paula Abdul's replacement has "divided Idol fans." Really? Come on, people—just because Ellen's not a musician? Neither was Paula Abdul and you liked her fine.

The Homosexual Gourmand

TV Guide (June 29—July 12, 2009) features 90210 star Matt Lanter as one of TV's hottest bods:

From In Touch (July 6, 2009), I must admit that this is a side of Kris with which I'd like to be in touch:

The same issue provides a peek at pre-Madonna Jesus Luz, who was literally a boy toy:

Literally, Coming Out

Adam Lambert...out and about.

The Homosexual Gourmand

Justin Gaston reveals a tattoo and his discomfort with some of his past undies modeling ("It's not something my mom would be proud out") while continuing to beat the "I-am-Christian-hear-me-roar" drum in Details (June/July 2009):

James Denton is chest my type, as spotted in Globe (June 8, 2009):

People (June 8, 2009) provides us with two examples of why even though the better man lost, Kris Allen is still the cutest Idol ever:

Adam Lambert Finally Answers "The" Question!

I wish Perez had given Adam Lambert a hot minute to actually come out—it appears he is about to do so on the cover of Rolling Stone, so all the teasing he's doing is actually funny, not frustrating. It always seemed obvious to me that Lambert would be that rare and special thing—a gay person who admits it while simultaneously seeking to entertain the world. He never struck me as a Sean Hayes douche.

Adam Lambert Tops Kris Allen...In Bed?

It's really funny and more evidence that Adam will be explicitly talking about being gay shortly. Maybe he's waiting to do it with a "bang" (from above) on the cover of People or Time or...hey, Adam, throw The Advocate a bone!

Win, Lewis Or Draw

Above, former American Idol contestant Blake Lewis's Tweet back to Bret Wolfe regarding his preference—which was for Adam over Kris. This Tweet could be psychologically analyzed, considering Blake, too, was the subject of gay rumors (a PhotoShopped pic of him with partner in bromance Chris Richardson fanned the flames), and there is a wistful note to the "I knew that Kris was going to win."

Or it's just a factual Tweet.

Also, is Lewis doing L.A. Pride???

UPDATE: Here is the person he Tweeted it to, reacting to his response:

Yes, Wolfe is a gay porn star. I'd still like to know if Lewis is doing L.A. Pride!

Adam & Steve

Kris still strikes me as embarrassed he won, but if they can get along I guess Adam's fans will have to move on, too.

Glam Slammed

American Idol has officially jumped the shark. Sure, Kris is adorable, sure, he can sing some  songs well. In fact, I would be happy with him as #1 in most other years, or at #2 this year. But winning against Adam Lambert? A joke. I believe Adam will go on to have the more, er, fruitful career (which might have, er, queered the deal for him). But I think it's also time to stop watching—even one-eyed, as I do—a show on FOX that is so easily manipulated by Bill O'Reilly (who's...on FOX) for purposes of instilling in viewers the importance of $$$VOTING$$$ and $$$TUNING IN EACH YEAR$$$.
