Adam Lambert Refutes Rumors

Adam Lambert was the guest on “The Jay Leno Show” Monday night, where he talked about how his life has changed since he was on “American Idol,” his performance at the American Music Awards, and the release of his first album, “For Your Entertainment.”

“I mean, how hasn’t life changed since ‘Idol?’ It’s wild. I have people that are so supportive of me that are buying the CD,” Lambert said.

When asked about the new season of “American Idol,” which is set to start again in January, Lambert said that it would be a completely different experience without Paula Abdul being one of the judges. “I think Paula’s amazing. It’s bound to be different. She provided so much warmth and positive critiques. Simon’s great at what he does. He’s hard on people. Paula’s the flip… she provides positive reinforcement,” shared Lambert.

Lambert also talked about how supportive his parents were about everything—from his short-lived college career, to his performance at the American Music Awards. “My parent’s have always been really supportive like when I decided to drop out of college after five weeks,” Lambert said. “My father was always supportive. My mother was always supportive. They were always there for me and… I know they’re very proud”

Lambert also addressed the rumors that have been said about him. For one, he has not started a makeup line. “I might, but I haven’t yet,” he assured Leno. Another rumor was that Lambert’s father was mortified by his performance at the American Music Awards and the two are not speaking. “That’s a rumor… I think Bill O’Reilly perpetuated that. Lovely man. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. My dad and I were laughing about it…so that was a rumor,” Lambert sad.

Lambert ended his appearance on “Leno” with a performance of “Whattya Want From Me,” a song from his new CD “For Your Entertainment.”
