Adam Lambert Wants to Keep the Party Going

Posted by: vincent In: Music

Adam Lambert is a year into the wild ride that began when he emerged out of the pack on American Idol last January.

The guy who parlayed a runner-up finish into an album deal and a reputation for creating controversy was in Toronto on Monday to promote his album, For Your Entertainment.

In an interview with CBC’s Q cultural affairs show, Lambert said he is heeding some advice from Madonna about fame.

“She said, ‘You really have to keep your eye on the prize and put your blinders up,’” Lambert said. “Don’t get sidetracked by what the press is saying about you and what message boards are saying about you and this and that…. Have a goal, have a focus and just stay tuned in on that.”

Michael Jackson

Jacko basks in the applause at the end of his final concert in LA.

MICHAEL Jackson’s death certificate rules he WAS murdered, the News of the World can reveal.

We obtained a copy of the document and an amendment to it – that have never been published.

On the original July 7 certificate deputy coroner Cheryl MacWillie refuses to give a cause of death.
Hollywood legal eagle Michael Flanagan saved a nurse from a murder charge when she was accused of wrongly administering painkiller Propofol.

Murray already has a Houston law firm building his defence. Police affidavits say he admitted loading up Jacko, 50, with Propofol and other drugs in the hours before his death.

The prosecution is likely to use lawyer Patrick Dixon, who helped put Phil Spector behind bars.

chrisbrown (5) According to a judge, Chris Brown is complying with the terms of his probation.

City News Service reports that a Los Angeles judge made the ruling Thursday.

Last summer, a judge sentenced Brown to receive five years of probation and six months of community labor in Virginia (his home state), after he was charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend, singer Rihanna. He was also ordered not to contact Rihanna and keep 100 yards away from her — 10 yards if they both attend a music biz event — for the next five years.

Chris Brown used to be one of the hottest tickets in town, but according to ticket scalpers, Chris Brown is losing his appeal with concert goers.

The “Kiss Kiss” hitmaker played a gig at the Avalon in Hollywood last night, and the show’s sold out status had more to do with the small venue size than with demand for tickets.
