Kris Allen’s Festive (And Drunken?) Dubstep Christmas Video
Thu Dec 1 2011 by Robbie Daw
Was Kris Allen hammered when he and his friends made this video, which features the American Idol winner getting his groove on and repeating the words "dubstep Christmas" over and over? Let's hope so. And let's hope he also lays down a few dubstep jams for his next album! As for the slight (?) undercurrent of racial tension between his two buddies toward the end the clip, well — let's leave that out of the creative process, Kris.

The music world was rocked by the still unexplained death of Amy Winehouse at the age of 27 this week, and Idolator readers were quick to express their sadness and shock. Other topics that sparked heated debate among pop fans include a preview of Adam Lambert's VH1 'Behind The Music' special, and the possibility of Katy Perry matching Michael Jackson's long-held record of scoring five number one hits from the same album. Head below to see what our always-on-the-ball readers had to say about these developments. More »
Adam Lambert (and Kris Allen) Open Up On VH1’s ‘Behind The Music’
Wed Jul 27 2011 by Becky Bain
Adam Lambert is currently at work on his sophomore album (alas, with no Xtina duet), and though all we really want from the nicest guy on Twitter is new tunes, other people are mainly interested in hearing him talk about his sexuality. (Hasn't this been covered enough?) In a preview clip from his upcoming Behind The Music episode, Glambert discusses being presented as a stereotype on American Idol, while simultaneously having to keep quiet about being gay. His Top 2 challenger and the eventual winner of Season 8, Kris Allen, was also interviewed for the VH1 special to discuss his time competing against Glambert on the show. Watch below. More »
Kris Allen Goes From Reality Show Contestant To Judge For Kidz Bop
Fri Jul 22 2011 by Becky Bain
Kris Allen apparently hopes to catch some of the career rejuvenation bestowed upon new reality show judges Jennifer Lopez and Blake Shelton. The American Idol Season 8 champ will serve as judge and mentor for Kidz Bop's 2nd annual Kidz Star USA Talent search, which seeks aspiring singers aged 15 or younger for their web-based competition. Unfortunately, Kidz Bop most likely found Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" too appropriate, as no such cover exists to add to this post. Shame. [Via THR, PopDust]
