Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert was not invited to last night's American Music Awards. That may have had something to do with the controversy this singer stirred up at last year's ceremony.

But fans of the former American Idol finalist were still given a chance to watch this artist in action, as E! premiered an edition of its True Hollywood Story special in honor of Adam.

Detailing his dedication to theater in high school and working its way through his battle with Kris Allen, all the way up until the aforementioned AMA scandal and subsequent Glam Nation tour, the program is a must-watch for Lambert lovers...

... which means they've come to the right place! Sit back, get comfortable and watch the entire Story in its entirety below.

Adam Lambert's True Hollywood Story

True Hollywood Story: Part 2

Adam Lambert paid homage to Jimi Hendrix at a concert in France last night.

And to the countless music fans that have often mistaken the lyrics to this icon's classic 1967 single "Purple Haze."

As part of his Glam Nation Tour in Europe, Lambert treated concert goers to a rendition of this single, switching up the words from "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" to "Excuse me while I kiss some guy." Not merely apt for Adam, the latter verse has been sung so often that a website has actually been created in its honor.

First, Justin Bieber announced the release date for his upcoming acoustic album and also unveiled the covert art for "My Worlds: The Collection."

Now, Adam Lambert has done the same.

On December 6, fans of the former American Idol finalist will be able to download Acoustic Live! and/or purchase a hard copy off the singer's official website.

The disc will feature acoustic versions of singles from his For Your Entertainment, such as “Whataya Want From Me," "Music Again," "Aftermath," Soaked” and "Mad World."

First, Justin Bieber. Now, Adam Lambert.

A few days after that 16-year old singer announced plans for an acoustic album, Adam Lambert has gone ahead and done the same.

In an interview with Australian TV host Dylan Lewis, Adam said the CD will come out "around Thanksgiving time" and explained its genesis:

“We went around Europe in the earlier part of this year... and we did a lot of promos, so I had Monte, my guitar player, and my drummer at the time. We just did very stripped-back versions of the songs. We got our hands on some of those recordings. Then we also recorded some of the stuff from the actual Glam Nation Tour, so it’s going to be a mix of both.”

We can't wait. Check out the 10-minute interview below:

Adam Lambert will soon be receiving the E! True Hollywood Story treatment.

On November 21, the network will dedicate an hour to the former American Idol runner-up, who has amassed both critics and fans since first appearing on TV's highest-rated show.

"I'm an entertainer. To provoke conversation and opinion is part of what I do," Lambert says during an interview portion of the program.

The program will also feature conversations with those closest to the singer, including parents Leila and Eber, brother Neil and friends Anne Powers and Vanessa Grigoriadis.

"I'm very fortunate to have parents that recognized that I was different and recognized how I was special. They didn't ever try to box me in," says Lambert, who also admits that he "lived a rock star lifestyle" during his early days of performing in musical theater groups on cruise ships and throughout Europe.

There's so much more to me than who I choose to sleep with. You are so much more than your orientation. Be strong. Pay attention to the positive.

It's hard to imagine a better role model for confused, at-risk youths than Adam Lambert.

This well-spoken, talented singer is unafraid and unashamed to be true to who he is, yet he refuses to simply be labeled as a gay singer. How come?

Because, as Lambert explains in the video below, one's sexual orientation is such a small part of who one actually is. Yes, it gets better, he tells bullied teens around the world... but only if you stay strong, stay focused and never let the ignorant win.

Adam Lambert did not let protests by the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party ruin his concert in Kuala Lumpur last night.

The second-largest political party in that mostly-Muslim nation had decreed the singer's "gay performances" earlier in the week, while members stood outside the stadium last night and waved banners with messages such as "Muslim students protest gay icon in our country" and "Not our culture."

These people are as unoriginal as they are intolerant, huh?

But this demonstration did not disrupt the gig, as Lambert remained true to his pledge to tone down his act in accordance with Malaysian government guidelines and told the crowd:

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's show is about love."

When Adam Lambert performs in Malaysia on Thursday as part of his Glam Nation tour, he may face a protest by as many as one million residents.

That's because the country's second largest political party, the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party, has come down on the singer and his "outrageous" participation in the "gay culture."

In response to this charge, and that country's strict performance guidelines, Adam Tweeted that he plans to "make a few minor adjustments out of respect for the Malaysian government."

But he then followed up that mild missive with the following, more explicit statement:

In July of last year, Adam Lambert faced a picket from hate-minded members of the Westboro Baptish Church, as they protested his participation in the American Idol Live tour with sick signs and ignorant messages.

Now, the singer is entering into another sad firestorm.

Lambert is scheduled to perform in Malaysia on Thursday, but that nation's second largest political party is demanding the cancellation of the concert due to the artist's ties to "gay culture."

"Adam Lambert's shows... are outrageous, with lewd dancing and a gay performance that includes kissing male dancers," Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) youth leader Nasrudin Hasan told Reuters. "This is not good for people in our country."

In Malaysia, homosexual sex is considered a criminal offense.

The Glam Nation has gone global.

Adam Lambert performed for fans in Singapore and Tokyo this week, bringing his eccentric, talented brand of pop rock overseas. Prior to his gig in Japan, the singer Tweeted: “I wanna slay it tonight in TOKYO!”

He also wanted to swap some serious spit, based on the following photos. We doubt bassist Tommy Joe Ratliff minded being on the receiving end of this smooch, though...
