Adam Lambert caught up with Billboard at Z100′s Jingle Ball concert event last month at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where the ‘American Idol’ season eight runner-up talked about how he puts together his look, looking forward to moving forward after his controversial AMA performance that got him in trouble with ABC, the new albums from fellow ‘Idol’ finalists Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen, getting to sing with Queen and KISS on the ‘Idol’ finale, and what he’s got planned for 2010.

Adam Lambert was featured on Barbara Walters’ ‘The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009′ special on ABC the other night - but the most fascinating part, Babs refused to air footage of the ‘American Idol’ season eight runner-up’s infamous man-on-man kiss. She did show a girl on girl Lady Gaga kiss when interviewing the ‘Poker Face’ singer. Watch a TMZ segment on the double standard via MySpace below.

Adam Lambert took what many thought was a rehearsed tumble during his ‘For Your Entertainment’ performance at Sunday’s American Music Awards, but the ‘American Idol’ season eight runner-up tells MTV News the fall wasn’t on purpose. “Literally, as it happened my foot got caught in the stair,” Lambert explained. “I hit the platform, and I didn’t know what was going on. … I felt like when you spray a cockroach, and its legs are up in the air. That’s what I felt I looked like.”

The singer added, “And I’m like, ‘I bet I look so ridiculously crazy,’ And when I went back and watched it, I was like, ‘Oh, ninja roll, cool! That worked out.’”

Adam Lambert appeared on ‘The Early Show’ in New York City on Wednesday morning (November 25), discussing his controversial performance at the American Music Awards and the network that aired the broadcast dropping him from performing on ‘Good Morning America’ in response. Lambert echoed comments made to KIIS FM’s Ryan Seacrest yesterday, feeling no apology is warranted for his ‘For Your Entertainment’ performance. He said that “if it had been a female pop performer doing (his) moves that were on the stage, I don’t think there would be nearly as much of an outrage. I think it’s because I’m a gay male.”

Watch the interview, his performances of ‘What Do You Want From Me’ and ‘Music Again’, questions directed at the ‘American Idol’ season eight runner-up, and comments from his mother below.

Adam Lambert’s man-on-man kiss and a provocative head-to-below-the-belt dance moves during his ‘For Your Entertainment’ performance at Sunday’s ‘American Music Awards’ had the west coast censors scrambling to edit. But was Adam’s kiss with 28-year-old keyboardist Tommy Ratliff planned? ‘Access Hollywood’ correspondent Shaun Robinson spoke with the ‘American Idol’ season eight runner-up backstage at the event in Los Angeles.

Asked about what ended up to be editing of his performance for west coast viewers, Lambert said, “If it’s edited, that’s discrimination. I will be a little disappointed because there is a little bit of discrimination going in this country. There’s a big double standard, female pop artists have been doing things provocative like that for years, and the fact that I’m a male, and I’ll be edited and discriminated against could be a problem.” Watch the interview below.
