As tied up as we are in waiting for legislation to catch up with our humanity, being a gay man can be supremely liberating. This is especially so on a behavioral level. (I assume this is similar for queer people of all and/or no genders, but I'm just speaking from experience here.) To be at peace with your queerness is to allow yourself to do whatever the fuck. We're not really expected to adhere to the heteronormative confines of masculinity, so why should we? Getting over the fear of being called a faggot really opens up the possibilities of how you represent yourself – you can be as masculine and/or as feminine as you are and/or see fit at a moment's notice. We still have to mind our environment (so, like, ease up on the lip liner in Uganda), but given the right place, we are freer than most.

When I saw this sign offering $20 for the current issue of The Advocate, the very serious older brother of the gay publishing world, with Adam Lambert on the cover, I thought it was a joke. After all, this is the current issue. But no. It seems the gay singer and mascara addict is creating a worldwide magazine shortage.

It's Gaga's party, and she'll make Glambert cry if she wants to. Lindsay Lohan swears she wasn't drunk when she fell outside a bar in New York. Brangelina goes on a mini-vacation. It's TGIFriday gossip.

Last night's American Idol was a result show, which, though rife with human suffering, is sort-of boring to recap (Ashthon went home. Bye, Ashthon!). Instead, let's compose an open letter to former contestant and last night's guest, Adam Lambert!

Last night we saw our first individual elimination and the contestants were once again reminded that this is going to be no easy feat, to keep their wits about them and make it to the end. Was it a fair elimination? I think it certainly was.

Inspired by an earlier conversation about the book The Art of Manliness, the hosts of The Talk quizzed guest Adam Lambert. When asked if he could carry someone fireman style, Lambert responded by throwing host Sara Gilbert over his shoulder.

Adam Lambert has been accused of battery after getting in a tussle with a Miami paparazzo. A friend pulled the be-hatted American Idol runner-up off the photog, but not before he suffered some dino-damage. Bonus action shot after the jump.

A correction ran this weekend, for an Adam Lambert concert review from last week, stating that the American Idol runner-up didn't just kiss his (MALE!!!1!) bassist, he licked his lips. And had his own lips licked. Thanks, Times!

Lindsay's favorite non-alcoholic beverage is alcoholic! Lady Gaga shocks another sports stadium. Snooki throws a drink. Good Morning America has a gay kiss double-standard. "Kidnapped" Jeremy London's story keeps getting dumber. Saturday's Gossip Roundup is advancing to the next round.

America's favorite bedazzled skinsuit wearer, American Idol runner up and former Wicked chorus boy Adam Lambert, has a new song out about boots and dancing and eyeliner and he's just released the notly anticipated music video. It's confusing.

Yay for double elimination! That's how this show should work always. Yes last night two of our dear friends went home and we couldn't be happier with the results. Well, maybe a little.

On last night's gregarious gay Elvis-themed extravaganza, we American idol worshipers were treated to the mentoring stylings of what is perhaps the show's most ludicrous contestant. Adam Lambert, what's your function?

Guess what! Tonight, at 8:00 PM on FOX—and for 88 minutes—your Top 9 American Idol hopefuls will perform live for your votes before tomorrow's double elimination. And Adam Lambert is the mentor! More inside, plus your open thread.

Gaga sues the ex-boyfriend suing her—he didn't invent her, he took advantage of her. Kate Winslet moons for a dead ex. Tiger's sext ex has more where those came from. Saturday gossip is the one that got away.

The announced guests for Jay Leno's second show back at 11:35 are snowboarder/cannabis enthusiast Shaun White and television personality Sarah Palin. Which is a weird enough couch. But is the musical guest going to be Adam Lambert?

Paris Hilton's mans and ex-mans got into a fight and hopefully punched each other in the face. Adam Lambert and Ke$ha sucked face. Susan Sarandon got puked on by a tranny. Hillary Duff: engaged. Presenting your Saturday Morning Gossip Roundup:

Is "fishers of men" a euphemism for cruising? Adam Lambert kisses a girl. Shakira makes fetal position sexy. Lil' Wayne has eight root canals. The guy who punched Romney is a famed rapper. Friday gossip wants to drill, baby, drill.

Bill O'Reilly does a segment at the end of every show, where he picks out who he thinks is a "Pinhead" and who is a "Patriot." It's as funny as it seems. But tonight, O'Reilly heaped praise upon the Glambert!
