So this week, Adam Lambert's salivatingly-awaited, serpentine-accessorized Rolling Stone cover issue comes out. And I mean that literally. Yes, it's in this RS interview that Adam comes out of his fabulously appointed, leather-pants-filled closet to announce what all the world already knew: That he is (gasp!) gay.

"I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay," Adam correctly states, adding: "I'm proud of my sexuality. I embrace it." (As if there was ever ANYTHING about Adam Lambert's public persona that seemed shy or self-effacing!)

Yeah, yeah, I know--not so shocking. Not nearly as shocking as Lambert losing on Idol, really. It's not like Adam ever even slightly denied that he is homosexual. This is a guy who, on the most exciting Idol finale ever, not only performed in drag-queen-supplied Bob Mackie angel wings and platform Kiss boots from his "private collection," but also took on the Freddie Mercury role for the gay-rights Queen anthem "We Are The

You may not have heard of Ferras. But if you've been watching American Idol for a while, you may recognize the maudlin strains of his tune "Hollywood's Not America," which was the official farewell song that fittingly soundtracked season 7's Hollywood Week. Here's a clip of Ferras performing the song in the Yahoo! Music studio last year to jog your memory, plus an interview in which Ferras talks about how the song was chosen for the show:

Anyway, I'm sure Ferras was hoping "Hollywood's Not America" would do for his career what another Idol goodbye theme, "Bad Day," did for Daniel Powter's. But, sadly, that did not happen. If it had, I wouldn't have had to start this blog with the sentence "You may not have heard of Ferras," right?

Oh well. To be honest, this MOR ballad didn't really properly represent Ferras's musical style, which was more majestic and grandiose in a total Elton/Mika/Bowie vein. So I am happy to report today that--according to a couple of Ferras's own excited Twitter

My regular readers know that I have just a little a bit of an obsession with Adam Lambert. They may also be aware that I am hopelessly fascinated by Keyboard Cat, the synthesizer-poking YouTube feline whose upbeat yet eerily doleful canned music is currently soundtracking every EPIC FAIL on the Interweb.

(See my blog on Green Day's Colbert Report Keyboard Cat spoof here.)

So just imagine my delight and amazement when I discovered my two pop-culture passions had been combined in one convenient and awesome viral video. Huzzah! The clip below is so funny, it almost made Adam Lambert losing American Idol worth it. ALMOST:

And while I'm at it, here are some of my favorite other Idol-themed Keyboard Cat videos:

Nope, it never gets old...

It was apocalypse-indicating enough when The Hills' Heidi Montag tried to establish herself as a legitimate, pink-bikini-wearing, exaggeratedly-hand-gesturing, beach-romping pop starlet, in that so-bad-it's-bad "Higher" music video lensed by Speidi's lesser half, Spencer Pratt. But now Spencer seems no longer content to remain behind the camera, or behind Heidi's shadow...and so he's recorded his own pop single and video, the dubiously titled "I'm A Celebrity":

Ugh! Get me out of here!

Let me tell you, readers...this song makes Heidi's "Higher" sound like the Beatles' "A Day In The Life." I mean, at least Heidi had the common sense and decency to NOT RAP...unlike MC Spencer here, who recently, psychotically told MTV News: "I've always known that I secretly am the hottest rapper in the game. But I didn't feel the urge until Asher Roth started hitting the airwaves and, no offense to Asher Roth--somebody with some real swagger needed to come into the game. So I'll challenge him. I'll
