“American Idol” Season 8 alum Adam Lambert is set to drop his new disc set, “Glam Nation Live” on March 22. The disc contains the performer’s August 31 show at the Clowes Hall in Indianapolis with stage direction from Doug Spangenberg. The disc contains 13 live cuts and performances, 11 of which are live versions of Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment” singles including the chart toppers “If I Had You” and “Whataya Want from Me”.

Clips from the disc set can be previewed via the Vevo YouTube channel starting tomorrow, February 11.

Adam Lambert, “American Idol” runner up from season eight, will be releasing “Acoustic Live!, an EP of five songs on December 6 from his website along with all of the digital service providers. Physical copies, in limited numbers, will also be sold from Lambert’s site exclusively.

Fan’s pre-ordering the EP at Lambert’s website will immediately receive an acoustic version of “Whataya Want From Me” along with a lithograph limited edition poster featuring the cover art from the EP.

If his man-to-man lip-locking moment at the American Music Awards last year has shocked audiences from a more liberal country such as the United States, then expect an uproar if Adam Lambert dares to do the same stunt in a tightly religious and conservative nation such as Malaysia.

In a report by British newspaper The Guardian, the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party has utterly appealed to the 28-year old openly gay “American Idol” season 8 finalist to tone down, or better yet tame down, his performance so as not to directly encourage the homosexual lifestyle, a lifestyle that is strictly forbidden in Islam and is also not condoned by other conservative and religious groups.

TMZ squealed the news of American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert allegedly taking a paparazzo down while vacationing in Miami on Thursday after the photographer reported the incident to the local police station at around 10:30 that evening.

A picture of the incident have surfaced on the internet where Lambert is seen trying to grab the camera from the photographer, which is in contrast to the complainant’s claim that he was “knocked to the ground” by the singer, of which a picture still has to surface.

Earlier today MTV Video Music Awards nominees were announced. Lady Gaga received a record setting 13 nominations, while Eminem received eight and Florence and the Machine received five. Justin Bieber only received one nomination. Wait a minute, the kid is having his very own 3d biopic but only gets one nomination?

Adam Lambert didn’t get any nominations. Glam Nation members are angry that the ex “American Idol” contestant didn’t receive at least one nod for any of his videos such as “If I Had You” where Lambert rocks out while sporting a mullet ponytail on what looks to be a “Twilight” movie set along with a cast that looks like they are from “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome” and “Moulin Rouge.” By the way, that’s a compliment.

Lambert fans, of course, are not the only people irritated with the VMA nominations. Fans of Rihanna, who received only one nomination, Britney Spears and the Black Eyed Peas all are voicing their objections via Twitter and blog comments. The Twitter tag #MTVFAIL is growing in popularity.

It’s not easy to be Adam Lambert. Not only would you have to put layers of eyeliner and black mascara and be leather-clad in every show but you would also have to be numb and stay ignorant amidst the very offensive messages being thrown at you every night, right outside your concert venue.

This is the exact scenario from Lambert’s “Glam Nation” show last night, July 15, at the Midland Theater in Kansas City, MO. The show was sold-out, as usual, but it also called the attention of all the artist’s conservative and religious haters – all five of them.

Based from the photo that Lambert posted, there were only indeed five protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church outside the Midland Theater and one of them, sadly, is a child (isn’t he a wee bit young to be caught up in such a morality mess?). From “hate” to “fag” to “coward”, all these signs could really piss anyone who’s not new to such, but Adam Lambert took the high road instead.

Soon after graduating from “American Idol”, Adam Lambert’s career took off a hundred fold. He released his debut album, “For Your Entertainment”, months after the talent show came to a close and has proved to be a chart-topping success for the out-of-the-box performer. Right now, he is busy performing all over the US and Canada for his “Glam Nation” tour, with his most devoted fans really taking the time out to see every one of his shows, wherever it may be.
