Kris Allen
Adam Lambert is gay.
Shocker. Haven’t we heard this before?
The American Idol Season 8 runner-up sets the record straight (pun intended) in the next issue of Rolling Stone."I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear I'm gay." He explains: "I've been living in Los Angeles for eight years as a gay man. I've been at clubs drunk making out with somebody in the corner."
It seems like not a season of American Idol can go by without some controversy surrounding the voting process.
This season's scandal involves AT&T, the only provider through which votes can be sent into the show via text message, handing out free phones and giving lessons on how to text at parties sponsored by fans of Kris Allen ahead of the finale.
Critics say these acts pushed the vote in Allen's favor and away from the season-long favorite, Adam Lambert, who got no such support from AT&T.
Last night American Idol revealed the two contestants who will go head-to-head next week for the title of Idol.
And the finalists are...
Adam Lambert and Kris Allen.
That means buh-bye, Danny Gokey. Anyone surprised?
Adam and Kris will duke it out next Tuesday for the top spot.
This would have been so much more exciting if we hadn't already known from day one that Adam was going to win.

Go, go, Gokey? WTF?! Go, go, get your ass off the stage. Over it.
WTF?! Kris needs to apologize for that flat, out of tune version of one of my fave songs. It was painful. Even his piano notes were wack. Final three? Please. Allison! Come back Mami!
WTF?! I thought the color on my TV was retarded, but it was just the Kardashians' spray tan in HD.
Um. I hope Bono wasn't watching, because he probably regrets his decision to let Adam jack up his song. Ouch. Even Randy had to break it down. But, he'll still win. And yes, he should.
Do you really need a recap?
Don’t we all already know that Adam Lambert is winning?
That’s been a foregone conclusion since jump.
But here’s what happened last night.
Each judge and each Idol got to pick a song to perform.
Danny Gokey sang Paula’s choice for him “Dance Little Sister” first. We can’t stand the sound of Danny’s voice. His gravelly, flat, rasp is so old and all we think when he’s onstage is “dead wife.”

So, I don't think I've ever commented on a Wednesday results show, but AI gave me absolutely no choice last night.
1. Who makes those bloody Ford commercials? And more importantly, how do they sleep at night? They make me want to shoot myself in the face.
Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Danny Gokey comprise this season’s final four.
Taking the stages to sing with Slash and the band, Kris, again, just can’t rise to the occasion, Danny grunts and shoves out the best notes he can, which aren’t that good, while Adam and Allison own the song.
Before anyone was announced safe, Paula Abdul left her judge’s chair to perform her new single “I’m Just Here for the Music.”
We thought they didn’t allow lipsyncing on Idol.
It’s Rock Week, bitches.
For the first time, the final four were paired up to sing duets as Guns n’ Roses guitarist Slash put them through their paces at the Roxy with a full band and none of the usual soft light, hand-holding, Barry Manilow, “Let’s all sing Kum Ba Yah” and try to impress Randy antics Idol is so prone to.
Getting down to business, the Idols are split into two groups with Matt Giraud and Kris Allen on one side of the stage, Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey on the other.
Ryan Seacrest asked Adam Lambert which side of the stage he thought he belonged on. Although he hemmed and hawed for a moment, Adam chose Allison and Danny, thinking they were the better performers last night.
After letting him join them, Ryan announced he was in the wrong group and needed to join Kris and Matt to complete this week’s bottom three.
BURN!
Singing standards made iconic by the Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin, Danny, Allison, Matt, Adam and Kris, the American Idol Top Five, took the stage last night.
Since all the men involved in the Rat Pack are now, sadly, dead, AI busted out Jamie Foxx as their replacement.
Someone pulled some major strings to get that big ol’ plug for The Soloist.
