The American Idol in-fighting continues.

Adam Lambert talked to Access Hollywood yesterday about Clay Aiken's comments about his singing and his subsequent apology, and his response to the situation was awesomely passive agressive.

After stating there were no hard feelings between himself and his fellow Idol runner-up, Lambert said, “I don’t know Clay. I’m glad he’s getting headlines now though, because he wasn’t before. If he wants to ride my coattails about it, good for him.”

Burnnn.

This is going to be a fun little feud until they both inevitably fade back into irrelevance.

Clay vs. Adam......How exciting!!!

Really?....Who gives a crap that two gay guys have taken out their claws, and are taking stupid, arrogant swipes at eachother with them? I mean, really??

Clay Aiken is obviously jealous......OR, he secretly has a huge crush on Adam, and wishes he could "hook up" with him.

And, Adam Lambert......while being undeniably very talented, artistically and musically, I don't think he's all THAT "unique". He's just mimicking the outrageousness of others who have come before him, and who truly WERE unique and ORIGINAL in their time. (Like, KISS, Queen, Aerosmith and others). He seems like he's trying to be a "glam-rock" version of, (and cross between), David Cook and Steven Tyler. It's just a little more difficult to pull off the whole badass rocker thing, when everyone knows you're gay.

I think both of them just need to shut up, and stop their little "girl-feud".

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
