Adam Lambert’s “If I Had You” Video, Where “You” Equals “Bucket of LSD”

I once had a dream that an alien lionness grew long, muscular legs, and metal shoulders, put on tails and a tophat, fed me 500 pounds of acid and then, hand in paw, led me into the dry icy forest where me, her, and dozens of male dancers with glow sticks did backflips and magic tricks under the light of the stars.

Did I say dream? Sorry, I meant: Here is the official music video for Adam Lambert’s “If I Had You.”

We were wondering what our day was missing, then we realized the answer was “Giant Post-Apocalyptic Rave.” So thank you. This is the best thing I’ve seen since OMG CAT RAVE. (link via @karenplusone)

SECOND G-LANCE: Lance Bass Goes Glambert

By Michelle Collins

Is Lance Bass ganking some of Adam Lambert’s swagga? That smokey eye is winking us yes. It didn’t take much to transform Lance Bass into an Adam Lambert lookalike. Photographer Mike Ruiz is responsible for the following photoshoot, which incorporated jet black lipstick, eye makeup sillyputtied off a tranny’s face, and a faraway green-eyed stare that somehow rings empty; hollow. Lance Bass was not cut out for this look. But God bless him for trying.

Sidenote: We will spend the next 9 hours perfecting this eye-makeup. Why is it only female impersonators can ever get this look done right? My smoky eyes are the Virginia Slims to the above Marlboro Light 100s.

Adam Lambert Finally Finds His Keys

By Michelle Collins

It’s been a while since we’ve checked in with talent supernova Adam Lambert, who has been touring the globe like a veritable Jules Verne promoting his hit album “For Your Entertainment.” But when we came across these photos of Adam from an unknown photoshoot over at ONTD, we thought, what better time to reminisce back to the good ol’ days of almost a year ago, back when American Idol was still exciting, and Adam was still coming out of his spiky leather dinosaur egg shell. We miss those days. We want them back. Those of you lucky enough to get tickets to his tour, you will relive those days soon enough.

But until then, here are 7 photos you can wallpaper tile your monitor at random.

SIMI-LEBRITIES: Sister From Another Mister!

By Michelle Collins

Halle Berry looks f**king unbe-f**king-lievable as a 43 years infantile newborn-faced actress. But at first glance, maybe it’s just us, butttt we couldn’t help but notice that Ms. Berry seems to be rocking “The Adam Lambert” in this series of photos as she peruses some World Expo somewhere. We honestly thought it was

We hope both of these beloved celebrities cradle the above comparison, and nurture it into a full blown New York Minute sequel.

Ed. Note: This is obviously not the first time I’ve used this title.

American Idol: Ryan Seacrest Laughs While Dunkleman Hangs Himself

By Michelle Collins

American Idol welcomed back an old friend last night, the chicly exuberant and coyly daring Adam Lambert, who exceeded most anyone’s expectations as mentor to the Season 9 Idols. Most celebrity mentors don’t want to ruffle too many feathers by being over critical of the contestants; Adam, on the other hand, is the feathers. He’s been through the reality contest’s wringer, he knows what the judges want, and perhaps most importantly, he knows that this season is pretty much hopeless. If these kids have any hope for a career once the show ends, they should approach Adam much like Beatrix Kiddo approached Pai Mei in Kill Bill 2, and refuse to get off stage until their vocal knuckles are bleeding.

Overall, Lambert’s critiques could only take this mostly talent-questionable crew so far during the evening’s Elvis themed episode. You can read my thoughts on the episode over at my liveblog of the show. No, what we really came here to talk about was:

What was up with Ryan Seacrest last night?

From his hypersexual tongue innuendo (which Lambert wasted no time in pointing out), to his odd little dance before Andrew’s performance, to — perhaps the biggest no no of them all — touching Mr. Schuester’s (Matthew Morrison’s) SACRED FEDORA, to mentioning DUNKLEMAN, something was off. Way off. We bring you video evidence of Seacrest’s odd behavior last night, and ask you to leave your guesses as to what Seacrest was on last night in the comments. Could it be the hardest working man in ho-biz is cracking? We pray no. We love Seacrest the way babies love their gay dads: A heck of a lot.

American Idol Liveblog: Of Mics and Mentor

By Michelle Collins

Tonight’s American Idol is a very special one, as it features Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert as a real life mentor. I think we can all agree that this season’s Idols have a lot to live up to. For example, hitting more that 2 out of every 5 notes.

We’ve had two glasses of wine at Grand Lux Cafe and bring you this liveblog from the “comfort” of my parents’ bedroom in Miami. In other words, it’ll be a sh*tshow. Here we go!

8 PM: Seacrest sounds drunk. And we just remembered Michael was saved last week. Well, worse case scenario, if he gets booted again he can always create a brand of lip balm made out of his own saliva.

8:04: Lambert got a hold of the side-hair laminating machine. My mother things he looks fabulous, but I can’t help but be distracted by Matthew Morrison of Glee‘s fedora in the background. If Carmen Sandiego is still where in the worlding, we found her.

8:05: “My tongue is not nearly as talented as yours.” — Ryan to Adam. Seacrest is throwing his balls high in the air tonight. American Idol is back people, and it is gaayyyy! We love it.

8:06: Crystal Bowersox is starting the show tonight, meaning it’s all downhill from here.

8:07: Sorry, it’s impossible to liveblog when my Mother is slapping her giant slipper against the tile and talking about what a great show Smoky Joe’s Cafe was. “That’s the song!” *snap snap* “slipper slap* “That’s it!”

8:08: Crystal’s killing it. “Let me tell you, Gloria Estefan can learn from her. Gloria Estefan sucks!” — Mom

8:10: Simon is speaking, and again, in the back, is Mr. Schuester’s fedora. Hat’s show biz.

8:15: Andrew Garcia just is not that great. And thank GOD Adam is being honest about his rendition of “Hound Dog.” “It needs more punch.” — Adam. Here, use our fist.

8:17: He can hold that microphone and strut cross the stage all he wants, but we are busy dirt napping it up. We wonder if his neck tattoo is there to cover up his Frankenstein bolts.

8:20: Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison should always sit behind Simon. Watching them feign shock at his comments is more entertaining than the performers. Have we mentioned that we’ve already seen tonight’s Glee? And it’s amazing? Great.

Adam Lambert Gives Japanese What They Want: A Giant Glitter Penis

By Michelle Collins

This week, Adam Lambert finds himself in Tokyo, Japan while on promoting the release of his album “For Your Entertainment” in Asia. And, it seems, Adam is already well aware of how you get a gaggle of Japanese people to fall in love with you. The steps are pretty simple:

Step 1: Cover yourself in leather and spikes.
Step 2: Wear liquid silver pants that make your crotch look like it was sent back from the future to kill another crotch.
Step 3: Paint your face up to look like a beautiful geisha of indeterminate gender.
Step 4: Basically be more Japanese and insane than any other person in Japan. (*Note: This step is impossible.)
Step 5: Rake in the ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥¥ ¥ ¥!

Looks like he followed all of these steps and more while performing at Club Eleven in Tokyo. Stare at the above GIF while listening to his album and snorting glitter off of the fur-tipped ear of a Lynx and it’s like you’re there. Check out more photos below.

EXCLUSIVE: Adam Lambert Gets “Unplugged”… and We’re On The Scene!

By Michelle Collins

When you hear the name Adam Lambert, plenty of words come to mind. Glamorous. Larger than life. Talent explosion. Cod piece. But perhaps one word that has never been previously associated with Lambert is “Unplugged.” In fact, if there’s one thing the guy is, it’s “Plugged.”

So when our boss broke the news that Adam would be the first of many musicians to headline the resurrection of VH1′s Unplugged series, mere days before the actual taping, and that I would be the only member of the press allowed past the rhinestoned curtain, well… looks like someone unplugged my enthusiasm for life and living and simply being.

The taping was on a Saturday afternoon, which means (for those historians of you out there) that it directly followed what experts refer to as “Fun Drinky Drunk Times on a Friday Night.” And not just for me, it seems, but for Lambert as well, who joined up with former Idol allies Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta for a very special Rock This Town concert mere hours before his Unplugged taping. It seems the only people not out the night before getting trashed in the privacy of someone else’s bar were the 40 or so fresh faces waiting in line outside of the studio, whose faces beamed like little glow worms waiting to meet their glowy lord and savior.

Slowly but surely, these super fans were filed into the studio, filling up the 3 exclusive rows of seats roughly 4 inches away from the microphone that would soon be on the receiving end of a vocal ecstasy tablet. And, much to my surprise, the production assistant who was seating people grabbed me and placed me right smack dab in the second row, aisle seat. “Well,” I thought, “this should be interesting.”

Check out Lambert’s “Unplugged” performance and an exclusive BWE.tv interview with the man, the legend… ahead!

EXCLUSIVE PEEK: Adam Lambert Goes “Down The Rabbit Hole” Tomorrow on Unplugged!

By Michelle Collins

Tomorrow, March 10, VH1.com is unveiling the first artist of many to take part in a brand new season of “Unplugged.” That artist is Adam Lambert. And while tomorrow we plan on bringing you his entire performance along with a first person behind-the-scenes account, it seemed cruel to withhold everything until it’s online air date…

So we figured why not give you a taste of what’s to come? And what better song to whet your fappetites with than Adam’s VH1 Unplugged version of “Down the Rabbit Hole,” his acid-inspired bonus track from For Your Entertainment that seems ever so timely, given that Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland made the entire GDP of Estonia in 3 days flat. Check BWE.tv tomorrow for Adam’s entire performance as well as a short printerview with yours truly…

UPDATE: Ahead, Adam talks about the experience of taping VH1s Unplugged!

EXCLUSIVE: “VH1s Unplugged” Debuts on March 10 with Adam Lambert!

By Michelle Collins

Sometimes, requests are made of me here at VH1 that are nearly impossible to grant. One such request was made a couple of weeks ago, when I attended a super-exclusive taping of the premiere of VH1s Unplugged, the award-winning music series that is returning with eight all new episodes for VH1, MTV and CMT. The performer? None other than Adam Lambert, our most beloved American Idol contestant ever, who had not only planted his sparkle-seed in our earholes from the moment he opened his 24K-gold lips, but had also managed to stick a feather-cork in our heartholes following our two interviews together. (You can see those here and here.)

Finding out that Adam would be kicking off Unplugged was huge. Finding out that I would be the only member of the press allowed inside was unprecedented. But learning that I had to wait a little while before I’d be able to talk or blog about the concert was, simply put, torture. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks dabbing my forehead with a white hanky Al Sharpton style with anticipation…

But good news: On March 10… Adam Lambert’s Unplugged will be upon us, the first of eight episodes which will also feature Phoenix (for MTV), The Script (for VH1) and Reba McEntire (for CMT).

And the better news? I CAN FINALLY TALK ABOUT IT. Stay tuned next week for my exclusive recap of VH1s Unplugged: Adam Lambert, featuring fan reactions, recaps of the songs, hilarious behind-the-scenes tidbits, and an interview with the man himself, where we talk about the hard hitting issues. Mainly… hummus. You won’t wanna miss it.

Check BWE.tv next week for our exclusive recap and more photos from the concert… And again on March 10 for footage of the performance!

Unplugged has been made possible by Starburst, who joins the line-up as the exclusive partner for the upcoming season of Unplugged. Do like I did in middle school, high school and today and eat some. (That’s my own official Starburst tagline, by the way.)
