Adam Lambert Reconsiders AMA Performance, More Focus On Music

In the aftermath following Adam Lambert’s sexually-charged American Music Awards performance, Lambert seems to be having second thoughts.

“I think in hindsight I look back on it and I go, ‘OK, maybe that wasn’t the best first impression to make again, the first second impression.’ I mean, I had fun up there, I had a good time, my dancers had fun and the band had fun.
“I respect people and feel like people walked away from that feeling disrespected. I would never intend to disrespect anybody. So that was not my intention.”

In regards to ABC pulling him from Good Morning America, Lambert says, “I don’t blame them. I got carried away…They gave me a great opportunity to close the AMAs and I would never want to smack that gift horse in the mouth. I think they were taking a leap of faith having me do that and it unfortunately it didn’t work out as we all thought it would.”

“Ellen:airing 2m.Singing ‘whatya want from me’!,” the singer tweeted today. “AMA performance was a one time event. Goin in a new direction now. Focus back on the music…Don’t worry friends: I’m still gonna be me. Always. W/o appologies. Just gonna experiment differently w how I present myself…I’m learning. ”

Poor Ticket Sales For Chris Brown Fan Appreciation Tour

To the surprise of absolutely no one, tickets for Chris Brown’s upcoming Fan Appreciation Tour aren’t selling very well.

Will Breezy be able to put his attack on Rihanna behind him and save his career or will his lady-beating meltdown haunt him “Forever?”

The disgraced former heartthrob is attempting a comeback with his Fan Appreciation Tour, which kicks off at the House of Blues in Houston next week, but Chris still struggles to fill the small venues he’s set to perform in, industry snitches spill to The NY Daily News. Chris’ tepid ticket sales in a direct result of his vicious attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna last February, industry execs tell the paper’s “Gatecrasher Column.”

“This is definitely not the outcome [Chris' label] Jive Records hoped for. Chris lost a lot of fans after he assaulted Rihanna. And after that whole scandal, he’s not exactly kid-friendly. What parent would buy their children tickets to his concert?”

In related news, Chris’ third album Graffiti has been pushed up a week to Dec. 8.

I wonder if he’s going to tweet on his Twitter about all of this?!

New Music: Chris Brown ‘Crawl’

Chris Brown has released the second single ‘Crawl’ off of his upcoming album Graffiti.

‘Crawl’ is clearly a cry-out to ex-girlfriend Rihanna begging for a second chance, following the domestic assault back in February. Brown sings: “Everybody says we’re through, I hope you hadn’t said it too, so where do we go from here, with all this fear in our eyes, and where can love take us now, we’ve been so far down…so we’ll crawl, until we can walk again.”

I can give credit where credit is due. ‘Crawl’ was produced by the Messengers. It’s a good song and, aside from Brown’s personal connection with the song, listeners will find many ways to relate to the song.

BUT, I still think Chris Brown is pathetic.

Chris Brown Still Has Feelings For Rihanna

Chris Brown has confessed he still has strong feelings for the woman he has been told to stay at least 100 yards away from for the next five years, Rihanna.

The disgraced singer pleaded guilty to assaulting the “Umbrella” hitmaker during a row in February, and he has been told to keep his distance as part of his punishment. But the “Kiss Kiss” star admits he’s still in love with his ex.

Speaking about life after the fight and subsequent legal woes on New York radio station Hot 97 on Wednesday, Brown told DJ Angie Martinez, “We’ve been friends since I was like 15, we got serious when I was, like, 17. Feelings are feelings and they don’t go away overnight, especially if you sit down and be like, ‘Look, I’m (going to) really be in this relationship with you, past whatever the case, past our busy schedules, past us being two of the biggest artists.’ I really care about her.”

Chris Brown Tries To Rain On Rihanna’s Parade

Shortly after Rihanna released her new single ‘Russian Roulette’, Chris Brown tried to steal the spotlight by announcing his Fan Appreciation tour. Classy.

Today, Brown went on air with New York’s Hot 97 The Angie Martinez show and reminded all of us why he’s such a great guy after beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Can you sense my sarcasm?

Brown offered different excuses as to why he beat up Rihanna, but offered no real explanation other than, “I regret every second of it. I’m human.”

Human? It’s human to beat the one you love? I don’t think so.

Brown went on to say that he’s still mad at Oprah, too. After all he’s done with her, when he needed a helping hand, she wasn’t there. Is this guy serious?! You’re an adult, Chris. No one’s going to baby you for the rest of your life. Grow up and act like a man.

Brown promised to continue counseling and said he’d never hit a woman again.

Let’s hope he really means it…

John Mayer Hooking Up With Kristin Cavallari

Just when it seems like nothing can be kept a secret from gossip bloggers and the paparazzi, John Mayer and Kristin Cavallari from MTV’s The Hills have shocked us all!

The two have reportedly been hooking up secretly for two years at a mutual friends house in the Mt. Olympus area of the Hollywood Hills.

But what about John’s public love life during that time? Did Jennifer Aniston know anything about this while she and John were dating?

According to a source close to Kristin, the reality star was hesitant to get involved in anything serious with Mayer “because she didn’t want to be added to his long list of conquests, and they were both dating other people off and on.”

If the two decide to go public with their romance, will John be guest starring on the Hills this season? Or will this not even make the show, proving once again that it’s not real at all…
