Kara DioGuardi Outs Lambert, Adam Disses Aiken

Given all the recent talk about American Idol‘s Adam Lambert, you would have thought the Season 8 runner-up was actually the winner. Maybe these two new tidbits will now put some of the chatter to rest.
Is Adam Lambert gay?
Even though it was believed the 27-year-old might soon reveal that answer to Rolling Stone magazine, someone else may have already done the work for him. On today’s episode of The View, judge Kara DioGuardi said Lambert’s sexuality has never been a mystery.
“I don’t think that Adam was ever in [the closet]. You know, I think he was always openly out.” Kara told the co-hosts. When Barbara Walters questioned that statement, Kara added: “From what I’ve seen on the various forms of things, I do. I never thought he wasn’t.”

Clay Aiken Not a Fan of Adam Lambert’s

UPDATE: You can read an apology from Clay Aiken here.
What is that saying—“Those who can’t do, teach”? Or is it—“Those who have no record album criticize those who will”?
Despite being busy with many other things in his life right now (like guesting on America’s Next Top Model or hanging out with his son), Clay Aiken found time to weigh in on the recent American Idol 8 results. And while some might have guessed that he would have supported the more flamboyant artist, the Season 2 finalist actually had very few kind things to say about Adam Lambert.
In a recent posting on his website, the Spamalot star admitted that his opinion of Lambert was based solely on one song. (He thought his “Ring of Fire” performance was “contrived, awful, and slightly frightening.”) He also basically claims the second place finisher was too polished, pretentious and not a “real” person.

Megan Joy may have lost a husband…but she’s (inadvertently) gained an interesting fan base.
When the finals for American Idol began last week, the producers thought an adult hotline was the only X-rated thing they would have to deal with. Of course, that is not the case.
By choosing to drop her ex-husband’s last name, Megan Joy (formerly known as Megan Joy Corkery) gave Googlers a reason to be confused. Seems a Megan Joy already exists—in the porn industry.

DWTS Champ Dating Ousted American Idol Singer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Hook-ups,
Mark Ballas is a fast mover…on and off the dance floor.
Earlier this week, the one-time Dancing with the Stars champ stepped out with the new woman in his wife: American Idol‘s Joanna Pacitti. Although most people only recently became aware of Pacitti (primarily because of her dismissal from the reality competition), it turns out she and Mark have “been friends for a long time.”
At the premiere of the new Jonas Brothers movie, the 22-year-old showered praise on his new girlfriend. “She is the most supportive person in my life and she’s been great,” Ballas stated. “We get to spend a lot of time together [and] we do pretty much everything together.”
Pacitti also spoke warmly about the 22-year-old dancer/singer. “We both get each other and understand schedules and even on a musical level, I’ve never met someone that’s so passionate about music…that’s what I live for so it’s amazing to be with someone who gets it.”
According to the couple, the two started dating eight months ago. For those trying to do the math, that would mean Mark had moved on approximately a month after he and Sabrina Bryan split.
