Adam Lambert appeared on Ellen today and talked about the American Music Awards controversy, saying he might have gone a bit too far:

"I think in hindsight I look back on it and I go ok, maybe that wasn't
the best first impression to make again, the first second impression. I
mean I had fun up there, I had a good time, my dancers had fun and the
band had fun. I respect people and feel like people
walked away from that feeling disrespected.  I would never intend to
disrespect anybody. So that was not my intention."

Said Ellen: "If you're going to be offended by a show of sexuality onstage, then you should be offended by all shows of sexuality."

In related news, the Lambert performance has caused ABC/Disney to tighten its standards: "Disney/ ABC Television Group President Anne Sweeney said that the network will now ask artists for assurances that their stage show will resemble their rehearsals and that ABC will seek contractual obligation to make sure artists stick to those plans."

And, Barbara Walters finds Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga fascinating.

As far as the album's "glam" cover goes, Lambert says, "Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It's an omage (sic) to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don't get it: oh well… Glad to have gotten your attention."

Contrary to the picture some are trying to paint, Adam Lambert and boyfriend Drake LaBry demonstrate they are going strong for the paparazzi in the parking lot of a 7-11.

The video for Lambert's track "Time for Miracles", written for the apocalypse movie 2012, will debut before the Michael Jackson film This Is It, MTV reports:

"Fans should expect a doomsday element to the clip as well. 'There were a ton of extras on the set. What they were doing is they were staging scenes reminiscent of what happens in '2012,'' Lambert said.

Specifically, the 'American Idol' rocker pointed to one sequence in the video where he sings calmly while chaos surrounds him. 'I'm just walking through looking straight at the camera singing the song, and there's a riot going on around me — people being tossed in front of me, looting, you know, people being arrested,' Lambert described. 'That was pretty wild, to try to stay focused on the song while that was happening. But we had fun. It was a good day.'

Recording the song was perhaps more of a challenge. Lambert explained that working with producer Rob Cavallo on the power ballad was fairly intense. '[He] pushed me to the limit,' Lambert said. 'I sang for my life.'"
