Adam Lambert Responds to Teen Mom, Twitter Backlash
Two simple sentences have landed Adam Lambert in a bit of trouble.
Yesterday, the singer - likely motivated by the recent struggles of Amber Portwood - Tweeted that Teen Mom is depressing to watch.
Today, he was took to the social network again in response to the reaction of some of his followers, many of whom apparently took issue with Lambert's stance. He wrote:
Lambert was more than just snarky, however. He was also explanatory, adding:
"I'm not saying that all teen moms are white trash. Don't misunderstand. Yet, most of the ones on that show seem to be. I do, however, think they're are being exploited a bit."
They are being well-compensated, of course, as Amber made $280,000 from MTV last year. What do you think of Adam's statements?
Adam Lambert on Teen Mom: So Depressing!
Guess we know on which side Adam Lambert stands when it comes to our THG debate on Teen Mom...
With the MTV show making a number of headlines these days - from airing a controversial abortion special to Amber Portwood going to jail... and pretty much sucking as a human being - the singer has chimed in on the series with the following Tweet:
This Teen Mom show on MTV is so depressing. I know it's "real life" but shouldn't there be programming that inspires kids to shoot higher? #glorifyingwhitetrash
Adam Lambert won't be watching Teen Mom. Can you blame him?
Adam Lambert Pushes for Change
Recently going on record with how difficult it can be to balance life as an openly gay man with life as a a recording artist, Adam Lambert stopped and combined both worlds this week.
Prior to performing "A Change Is Gonna Come" in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, the singer told the crowd:
"The thing about the song is, it's amazing that it was originally intended for civil rights, and ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't noticed, the gay and lesbian community is in a civil-rights movement right now."
Adam then detailed his own experiences with discrimination before moving into a heartfelt rendition of the single. Watch it all unfold now:

Adam Lambert on Homosexuality, Career: It's a Balancing Act
Since he first graced the American Idol stage, Adam Lambert has handled the topic of his homosexuality with grace and maturity.
That's continued to this day, including a recent visit to France, where a reporter asked Adam if he gets bothered by how often his sexual preference comes up in interviews.
"It doesn't bother me," he said. "When I'm abroad, people mostly ask me why they talk about it so much in the U.S.! And it's normal, because there are very few openly gay artists. I just don't want it to overshadow my music, and this can be the case because of the media, who have a tendency to sensationalize the issue.”
Lambert was also asked about the single "Aftermath," which seems to focus on the issue of one coming out.

Adam Lambert Reacts to Grammy Nomination
Adam Lambert was awoken by something a lot more exciting than his regular cup of coffee last week: a phone call that informed him of a Grammy nomination for the single "Whataya Want From Me."
"I was so excited," the singer tells The Hollywood Reporter of his reaction after learning he was up for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. "After our call, I saw that a bunch of friends and family had texted and written emails."
Lambert is up against Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars and John Mayer in the category.

Celebrity Hairstyle Showdown: Adam Lambert vs. Kourtney Kardashian
We apologize to Adam Lambert and his supporters.
We're huge fans of this singer and hate the idea of comparing him to someone as talentless as Kourtney Kardashian. But we have no choice. When we see celebrity hairstyles this similar, we're obligated to poll readers over who does it better.
Especially when both styles honor the master of the poof, Snooki herself. So we hope Lambert lovers take this with the grain of funny salt with which it's intended and cast their vote now...
Adam Lambert: In Purple, Pot-Filled Haze
Adam Lambert often lights up whatever city in which he performs.
This is typically due to impressive visual effects that have followed the artist around the globe on his Glam Nation Tour. However, in Amsterdam last night, Lambert took the concept to another level, appearing to smoke marijuana on stage.
The pot comes out around the three-minute mark of another Purple Haze rendition, as Jimi Hendrix would certainly wouldn't approve of this drug use. So would the city itself, which has no laws against marijuana.
Watch, see for yourself and decide if you're cool with the sight of Adam puffing away in front of fans:
