OMG he is so adorable. Just wanna take him outof the video and squeeze him. Oh my so cute!
Anyhow, this is OT. Probably you guys saw this on twitter. But for those who don't have twitter, this one DJ guy from one of the radio stations in L.A. KRLA 870AM made a horrible tweet about Adam. Fans started sending him tweets about his nasty tweet by condemning him. He wrote this apology blog to us fans sort of now putting us down. If you want to write a comment read his apology and some of fans' comments then write your own comment. Here is his blog:
I'm goofy over babies and we haven't had any in our family close enough for me to cuddle in a long time. Riff is a winner....I want one. I'm very good about not pressuring my grandson to find "the girl" but everytime he cools on a relationship I mourn the ex. They still send me cards and stay in touch. Maybe I'll volunteer to be a "rocker" at nearby hospital baby nursery. I need to satisfy my baby blues! .....JAK
Little Riff is adorable! As to the DJ's twitter, I just wrote on the other thread that he sure didn't know Adam, nor did he know what he was getting himself into when he said what he did. To say that about someone you admit you've never heard or seen is despicable. The Glamberts are out in force. Maybe Adam will wind up being on his radio show. Maybe this jerk will learn something.

First Look: Adam Lambert as Mentor on 'Majors & Minors' (Exclusive) by Shirley Halperin
"Episode 2 of the junior talent show airs tonight with a debut appearance by perma-mentor Brandy. Coming soon: the "American Idol" alum and glam heartthrob will offer advice to the next generation of pop stars. It’s not quite American Idol, or even American Juniors, Simon Fuller’s ill-fated one-season attempt to showcase the raw talent of kids ages 5 to 13, but Majors & Minors, airing on the Hub network Friday nights, certainly has plenty of buzz on its side.
Credit the dozen or so proven pop stars and songwriters that have been enlisted by show creators Evan “Kidd” Bogart and his brother Tim, including permanent mentor Brandy, who makes her debut in the second episode, hitmaker and OneRepublic singer Ryan Tedder, Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am, Leona Lewis, Avril Lavigne and Idol alums Jordin Sparks, Jennifer Hudson and ADAM LAMBERT, the latter pictured here in a still from an upcoming episode. Show producers are staying tight-lipped on when Lambert’s episode will air, no doubt to ensure the Glamberts keep tuning in, but his presence is already being touted as a highpoint of the show’s inaugural season. Says Evan Bogart: “[Adam] specifically wanted to work with the kids on stage presence and delivering the right performance. Even when you're not the person singing, what you're doing, how you're interacting with other people on stage, how you're being a part of it when you're not the center of attention. And then when you are the center of attention, how you grab that, run with it, and then pass it off.” All topics in which Lambert boasts expert knowledge. Haven’t had a chance to catch the show yet? THR has your primer: First, it’s important to understand that Majors & Minors is not a competition show and, while it involves some element of judging, it’s not the cut-you-down and send-you-home-crying kind. In fact, no one goes home. Instead, the kids learn to work as a group. Vocal parts are sketched out factoring each participant’s tone and talent, they’re coached by the illustrious Debra Byrd, one of very few principal characters who’ve worked on Idol since day 1, and guided by Brandy, who in episode 2 gets so teary hearing the kids run through an original song called “One World,” that the group gives itself a collective pat on the back, as if to say, “mission accomplished.” Of course, singing in unison without an accompaniment is just the beginning of the process. The kids are then outfitted with in-ear monitors, state-of-the-art staging and lights and a killer performance space. It’s basic training for a career in pop music, which of course includes the requisite dance moves (cutie contestant and Youtube star Josh Metzler, 15, has already made it clear that if he were a character from Glee, it would be Finn with his two left feet), impressive solos and the occasional overreaching vocal run. After all, not everyone can grow up to be Christina Aguilera, but the fun is in trying to get there, while also learning the ins and outs of the ever-evolving music business. "
@Anon 12:26 AM I had read the "apology" offered by Ryan Duggan of KRLA and wrote a reply to him but was unable to post it before his apology blog was taken down. The replies that I read from fans up to that point were articulate, reasonably respectful, thoughtful, but to the point. His apology was indeed half hearted, patronizing, and completely ignorant of who Adam is, what he stands for, and he offered up advice to Adam's fans to basically get a life and do something positive for others instead spending all of our time on Twitter. He has no idea. Those who were able to respond to his blog post made sure Mr. Duggan was aware of Adam's charities, the fan participation in them, the fact that Adam is a good man with a fabulous voice, and the fact that Mr. Duggan's comment was unwarranted and misplaced, especially given the fact that he stated in his "apology" that he had never heard any of Adam's music and he really didn't even know who he is, even though he obviously knew enough to use his name and wish him to be trapped in a burning building. His apology was really not one at all. To make it even more bizarre, Mr. Duggan is one of the directors of "Monks Without Borders", and who professes, among other things, to believe in "protecting the powerless, practicing radical COMPASSION and NONVIOLENCE, and always working toward reconciliation. Ryan also believes that EVERY HUMAN BEING is a sacred multiplicity of miracles, infused with the Divine Essence, an emanation of God" (from his profile as Assistant Director). Rather ironic, I would say, that he would say that about Adam, given this statement.
This is Ryan Duggan's original tweet, the one that left so many people upset. He says he meant it as a joke: I think not.
@RyanDuggan: Twitter suggests I follow @ adamlambert - I wouldn't follow him into a burning building... unless it was to shut the door after he entered.
Sad.
By the way, his apology is still out there. I saved it,as did others, along with the replies to it if anyone is interested.
I just posted this article here, and its disappeared (probably went to spam..happens sometimes with longer posts) so I'll do it again! Great article about Majors and Minors, with an emphasis on Adam..

Joke? hahaa! GLAMBERT`S can handle this,like alway`s!!
More news: Tim from @_PennyRoyal Silver made the announcement on Twitter that the $1 million total Adam Lambert charities milestone has been reached which included $40,000 for the Peace Pendant. He posted this video to thank and inform the fans. He will be making the announcement of the grand prize he offered, at 12 noon Pacific time today on twitter..
Thank you glitzlady! I love reading positive responses by the people in the biz about Adam! As I am not a competitive person, I am glad to hear the kids are all staying & just learning & expanding their talents. That's what life should be about, learning from each other, I know my writing skills& knowledge of the Internet & pc skills are not as good as others, but I'm always grateful to you & to other fantastic writers for such wisdom & mastery of these abilities. Thank you ,to you all, love being here & reading your words. Mwah!! K Ps, I love Adam so much, his voice cannot be beaten down by the bad, the evil of this world, the hate, ... Because Adam is magical & an amazing human being Nothing or nobody really matter! that's what magic does to you, that's what Adam does to me! He is a part of me like my family is a part of me, & we know no matter how bad things can get, that love is always there. Adam is love, strongest word EVER! Mwah!! Mwah!! K
that dj says he didn't know Adam? I think his tweet is 10x more weird if he tweeted it about someone he didn't even know. practicing radical compassion and non violence? He's a comedian too?
Thanks, Glitzlady, for all the info you posted about the dj tweet. I had not heard or seen any of this. So much for Mr. Duggins and KRLA remaining on my favorite radio stations in my car. What a disgusting and cruel thing to say about Adam! I just can't understand why a person would be so mean??? His half-hearted apology is not quite good enough, is it?
I love Adam for the person and talent that he is. Poor Mr. Duggins doesn't have a clue. Well, we Glamberts do and our loyalty for Adam remains steadfast.
Riff Cherry is adorable! HaHa! great rhythm. I hope Adam saw this video. It brought a huge smile to my face.
Tonight is another episode of Majors and Minors,yaaaaay! Adam should appear soon. I'm recording every episode just in case.

What a disgusting tweet. :-( The least the author of it should do is apologise to ADAM!!
It was a pathetic apology to Adam's fans too.
I'm goofy over babies and we haven't had any in our family close enough for me to cuddle in a long time. Riff is a winner....I want one. I'm very good about not pressuring my grandson to find "the girl" but everytime he cools on a relationship I mourn the ex. They still send me cards and stay in touch. Maybe I'll volunteer to be a "rocker" at nearby hospital baby nursery. I need to satisfy my baby blues!

OT - Does anyone know if Adam will be appearing on Majors & Minors tonight?
Whether that jerk knows Adam or not, it's a monstrous comment to be made about anyone.
Riff is gorgeous.
This is a really great article from The Hollywood Reporter talking about Majors and Minors, which highlights Adam, has two pictures of him:
