American Idol’s runner-up is one step closer to becoming a glam-rock superstar.

Adam Lambert has inked deals with 19 Entertainment and RCA Recordings — and will be working on a debut album that is expected in the fall.

“I’m thrilled that we’ve come to a creative and collaborative partnership and look forward to developing a really exciting album,” Lambert, 27, said in a statement. “We are 100 percent on the same page and are all anxiously awaiting the start of the recordings. It’s going to be ridiculous! Get Ready!!!”

Simon Fuller, the creator and executive producer of American Idol, sung Lambert’s praises in the statement: “To find a talent as exceptional as Adam Lambert is a rare and special event … I am thrilled that American Idol was the platform for the world to discover this brilliant young man. He is unique and unforgettable and a certain star of tomorrow.”

Lambert will record his album this summer while on the road with the other top 10 contestants for the Idols Live Tour, which kicks off July 5 in Portland, Ore.

<span style="font-weight: bold">The press release also encourages fans to check out Lambert on the cover of Rolling Stone, out June 12, for a story in which he has promised “all your questions will be answered” about his sexuality. </span>

they really need to just quit. They did the same thing with Rueben and Clay, yes Rueben won but the way Clay was promoted was ridiculous. I quit watching a while back.

Adam Lambert: I'm Gay and Proud Of It
PopEater

Matthew Rolston for Rolling StoneAfter months of speculation, rumors and suggestive photos, it's finally official:


'American Idol' runner-up Adam Lambert is coming out, telling Rolling Stone magazine that he's gay and proud of it.
Even Lambert himself says that his admission probably won't come as a shocker to many who have followed his rise to fame. &quot;I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay,&quot; he tells Rolling Stone in their exclusive reveal.
&quot;I'm proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It's just another part of me,&quot; Lambert says.
The 'Idol' rocker says that he was tempted immediately after the 'Idol' finale to discuss it, but he says: &quot;I thought, 'I'm going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler,'&quot; he says.
So why, exactly, did he save the news for a major magazine spread? &quot;I didn't want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine bull----. I need to be able to explain myself in context,&quot; Lambert tells Rolling Stone.
&quot;Control of this situation&quot; is very important to Lambert. He feels that &quot;everyone has an opinion of me, and I want a chance to say, ‘Well, do you want to hear how I really feel about all this?'&quot;
During his 'Idol' run, Lambert for a long time was considered the front-runner, winning fans of all types along the way. Hear Lambert and Kris Allen's 'No Boundaries' Battle Here
&quot;I loved it this season when girls went crazy for me. As far as I'm concerned, it's all hot. Just because I'm not sticking it in there doesn't mean that I don't find it beautiful,&quot; Lambert (graphically) tells Rolling Stone.
Lambert even goes on to share his feelings toward sharing a living space with 'Idol' champion Kris Allen. He says that when the show moved them in together, &quot;I was like, 'Oh, s--t, they put me with the cute guy.' Distracting! He's the one guy that I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type – except that he has a wife. I mean, he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100 percent straight.&quot;
All of those older photos that hit the Internet purportedly showing Lambert kissing another man and dressed up in drag? Legit, Lambert says.

You know Boops - maybe it's not so ridiculous.

Seems Clay was what the people wanted. He wouldn't have been as successful as he was if people didn't want him. To me, it seemed like Clay wanted it <span style="font-style: italic">(it meaning the aftermath, not the winning title of Ammerican Idol)</span> more - or at least, seemed like he chased the 'career' more than Reuben did.

He's not my taste - I preferred Reuben but ...

I get your point tho – it’s all a scam.

I stopped watching Idol eons ago. I think the last time I saw it was when Jennifer Hudson or Fantasia won.

I don't get why it's news or newsworthy that this guy is gay.

All along it's been so clear that he's gay.

Just like everything else &quot;these people&quot; have the biggest voice,power and money. Look how many artist have been ripped off of their royalties because of &quot;these people.

Some are starting to wake up and do their own thing,that's why Prince came out with the symbol he said he was tierd of being a slave to the industry.
