While Adam Lambert’s dragging a lady (gosh, what will Out think?) across the floor in preparation for his AMA performance this Sunday, buzz is building for his first music video, the clip to accompany lead single “For Your Entertainment.” A little sneak peek at the video showed up today, and guess what? He’s writhing around in an erotic club with men and women. So there. MORE »

Kris Allen on ‘Kris Allen’
Kris Allen certainly has his work cut out for him. His album is expected to post the lowest first-week sales from an American Idol winner in the show’s eight seasons—not that opening weeks mean everything. (Ruben Studdard’s best-ever first week didn’t exactly herald longevity.) And although Kris beat Adam Lambert for the AI title back in May, Adam seemed pre-destined to become the bigger media darling/pull-quote generator.
But in reality, Allen’s no less passionate about music (and he did win), so we chatted up the soft rock singer/songwriter at Us Weekly’s Hot in Hollywood Party in Los Angeles, the same bash where we talked pop with Adam Lambert. Check out what Kris has to say about his debut album, and what he thinks might be wrong with it: MORE »

What Should the Fall Out Boys Do During Their Hiatus?
So Fall Out Boy is taking a break. Or maybe they aren’t, and it’s really just a sugar-coated break-up? They’re denying it’s anything of the sort, so we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, but in the meantime we have a few suggestions for how Pete, Patrick & Co. should invest their free time: MORE »

The Idolator Interview: Adam Lambert
For your entertainment (and, sure, ours too), we caught up with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen at the Us Weekly Hot in Hollywood party at Voyeur nightclub last night. (The magazine honored both guys in its “Stars of the Year” coverage—Adam was named “Glam God of the Year” and Kris “Victor of the Year.”) Tomorrow we’ll be posting our interview with the adorable and subdued Allen, but for now, check out our heart-to-heart with the delicious little space alien known as @adamlambert: MORE »

Is The Susan Boyle Album Leak Completely Irrelevant?
If an album leaks on the Internet, but everyone’s already pre-ordered it, does it make a sound? The upcoming debut of Britain’s Got Talent winner-turned-America’s-sweetheart Susan Boyle has made its way online. But judging from stealth pre-order sales for I Dreamed A Dream, there may not be many fans left who didn’t already pay for her collection. MORE »

And The ‘Avatar’ Theme Song Goes To…Leona Lewis!
When it comes to big budget holiday season popcorn movies that need a theme song, apparently Avatar director James Cameron feels the 2009 equivalent of Celine Dion is Leona Lewis. MORE »

The Black Eyes Peas Boom Boom Pummel Kathie Lee On ‘SNL’
The Black Eyed Peas hit up Saturday Night Live this past weekend, and also hit (and bludgeoned and pounced on repeatedly) Kathie Lee Gifford. The big letdown was that a.) it was just a SNL skit mocking the Today Show, and not some spontaneous act of rage brought about by rogue, anti-Kathie Lee BEP members, and b.) it wasn’t even the real Kathie Lee, but rather Kristen Wiig’s boozy take on her.

Top 5 Pop Stars Who Should Never Act Again
Mariah Carey managed to validate her acting career by dressing down and taking a humble, supporting part in depress-o-rama indie flick Precious, which opened this past weekend. We can’t believe the reigning champion of Pop Stars Pretending to Be Actresses has done on-screen work people can actually enjoy non-ironically. Brava, Mariah. Our little hoochy-dressed girl’s all grown up.
Mariah’s earned our respect, but there are tons of other pop acts who, to paraphrase Mean Girls, keep trying to make this “acting” thing happen. It’s not going to happen!
After the jump, our Top 5 picks for pop stars who seriously need to leave acting to the professionals: MORE »

Lady Gaga-Beyonce Duet ‘Telephone’ Set As Next ‘Fame Monster’ Single
Today came the announcement from Lady Gaga’s website that The Fame Monster will be released on November 23. It kinda feels this information already made the rounds weeks ago, but apparently it hasn’t been official till now.
Another bit of news: “Telephone,” Gaga’s duet with Beyonce, will follow “Bad Romance” as the second single off the new album. This isn’t to be confused with the remix of “Video Phone,” the other Beyonce/Lady Gaga duet that will appear on the deluxe edition re-release of B’s I Am… Sasha Fierce (also out November 23). MORE »
