Adam Lambert 24/7 News

GEEZ....I look like a debutante next to this guy...maybe I could hire him to hang out with me for contrast. On second thought, maybe not, he IS scary looking....JAK

I am sorry, but that is a mess. Not nice to make fun of old people; not even at holloween. Who knows, maybe his Grandma helped him get dressed. I will not laugh. Now he needs an old partner. Oh my!

omg this is scary!!!

HA! Is he wearing Depends? Lmao

Who is Colton Haynes? I have heard the name. Is he the guy from Idol?

Oh, so not funny.

Colton Haynes is a TV actor. He's in that TEEN WOLF show. He's cute.

He actually looks like someone that was hurt in a car accident. Not a good look.

Whoa, this is a bit too drastic for me but I really like Adam's Ali Baba genie costume. I like all the jewels, the turban and brocade cloak. That interview he gave at Halloweenie is very funny. He said genies don't smile and then a cameraman cracked a joke and he immediately gave the widest genie smile and spoke some Indian-twang words...so like him, can't hold back tickles. lol! He wears the most royal-looking turban ever seen. Mmm might Adam be enticing Bollywood...Adam can do sexy bhangra and his Indian twang is not bad. lwl!

Thanks. I wonder if his Grandmother is living? If so, she might have helped him with the the costume.

Making fun of older people that can't help the ageing process is just not funny to me; sorry. It is like making fun of someone that is cripple. Which many old people are. I know, it is just a costume. Just can't help it; not funny to me. I have worked with seniors and, this is a first for me, don't see the humor. Sorry.

Adam look beautiful. Now that is good taste in a costume. Adam always does it better!

Adam always does things with class and good taste; and sensitivity towards others.

I respect Adam so much; I bet he had a ball last night. He looked fabulous.........

Boo! It takes stones to leave the bathroom looking like that. O Happy Halloween.

Just want to add here a thank you to Admin and say I am looking forward to this site being better than ever as we share our interest in Adam Lambert. It's a great adventure I'm proud to be a part of.

LOL I guess that's the sexy grandma look? Who needs to go in for a bikini wax? Oh my.

It will be so much nicer here without us spending our precious time defending Adam against lies and disrespect. I look forward to posting about all the good things happening to Adam, as it should be. Thank Admin.

Mean't to say Thanks Admin. at
@ll:35 PM, had lef s off of Thanks.

That's disgusting.

Not clever or funny at all.

Sorry Adam, to laugh at an older persons plight , comes under bullying. This might be just a costume to you, but for some it is real life, and not funny at all. It's on the level of someone dressing up as a blind person, and using a white cane, might come across as funny, but the reality is not funny at all.

LOL, Adam is liking a picture of a typical fan of his. What's the big deal?

If you are a typical fan, do you look like this?

8:55 PM

Agree with you completely. Will Adam laugh also to his own parents, when they will be old people and perhaps needs a diaper and a walking stick?? So vulgar...

Was this guy part of the charity event, Halloweenie?

That picture is anybody's worse nightmare! Draw the line here........

playing devil's advocate here...young people simply cannot relate to getting older..they have the mindset that they will never grow old (a rude awakening is in store for them)..I seriously doubt that there was any intention to make fun of senior citizens..just a costume..I am old and I can find the humour in it...if Adam had thought about it maybe relating to his mother, he would not have found it funny..

JAK here.......I'm old and I'm not offended by someone dressing up like an old woman. I use a cane or walker or transport chair on occasion. I find the Depends rather tasteless but I think being outraged is a little much. And no I don't use them...yet!

Before the days of 'store bought' costumes we made our own, the idea was to dress up as something you weren't so boys dressed up as ladies, young or old, girls dressed up as dads or grandpas......hat, pipe, tie, wrinkles drawn on, flour to turn your hair white, fake moles or warts...a sheet could be a ghost, a pillowcase could be dyed tan with tea, arm and neck hole cut out and fringed at the bottom was an instant Indian dress. If you were a tramp with ragged clothes and your belongings tied up in a red bandana and tied to a stick you were not making fun of the elderly, the homeless , ghosts or Indians. You were playing 'pretend'.

Since when is an old person an object of pity, I resent that idea! If you are old, you are already a winner in the game of life. You're still here, thru all the grief and pain and joy and accomplishments and loss and victories you have overcome you survive. I'm here today, if tomorrow my shelf life runs out, so be it.....WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER? Not me.....it hurts! But right this moment I consider myself the luckiest girl in the world, miseries and all! Age is natural not pitiable. Lighten up.

Adam is not laughing at the person in the picture. He says he likes the picture; which means he accepts even what most people think is ugly. He's also pointing out that everyone may eventually arrive at this stage with all the infirmities and ugliness, and yet he picks this picture. Because he accepts that he too can become this person some day though he's so beautiful now. I did say it looks drastic from the Halloween aspect, but I understand why Adam picked this picture now. He is sending out a message of acceptance, ugly or beautiful, young or old, healthy or sick as represented by the picture. And more pertinently he feels empathy towards those ostracised, like himself too, even though he's so beautiful, and others in worse situations for whatever reasons. It's okay not to like the picture, nothing wrong with not liking it but also accept it from Adam's viewpoint. That in a nutshell is what acceptance is. Bottom-line: Adam is not making fun or joking or being rude.

This is not about pity, it's about disrespect.

@JAK We have a stand off. You resent my gut reaction and I resent you telling me what and how to think and feel.

@6:28am
Agree. Sadly, it's also in very poor taste.

No one says it's about pity...we don't need to show pity. I'm talking about empathy meaning feeling the pain of someone's sufferings and that is not disrespectful. Showing a drastic picture of this aged, infirm person, is actually focusing rather than turning a blind eye. It brings people's attention to it and not about disrespect or pity. It provokes and makes people think rather than sweep everything supposedly pitiful, ugly under the carpet.

Lam-my

Some of you are missing the joke of the costume. It's a guy dressed up as an old lady going out in her bra, camisole and bikini panties. Pretty sure little old ladies don't really do that.

Is dressing up like a cowboy insulting to cowboys?

Also, just because Adam liked his friend's pic doesn't mean he is making a commentary on senior citizens.

It's a Halloween costume, lighten up. Save your outrage for blackface.

With respect Lam-my, you don't know how or what Adam was thinking when he "liked" this picture - none of us do.

I did not say I know what Adam was thinking. I specifically said I accept his viewpoint and try to "understand" why he liked the picture not that I know his actual thoughts. To understand someone's viewpoint means to try and figure out why and not that I specifically know what he was thinking. And with my 4-5 years of following Adam closely, I deduced why he liked the picture. Understanding and making deductions are thought processes and I based mine on background knowledge of Adam's character, such as his kindness, respect for the elderly and fighting for those ostracised or less fortunate. Such a person could not have made fun of the supposedly ugly, infirm person shown in the picture.

Lam-my

I'm deducing Adam is like me and quickly scrolls through and likes friends pics because they are friends and without much more thought than that. IG likes are not intended to be carefully thought out public statements.

@6:53 AM
To bad he didn't dress up as a nudist. Now that would have been funny.

here we go again with all the snipping and sniping...can't we all just get along..you can't please all the people all the time..

Well, he has thousands of IG pictures of friends; this one caught his attention, precisely that's why he says he likes it; perhaps it's thought-provoking and original. Adam always picks things that stand out. But the point of contention here is not about the likes. You are digressing! Rather he's being accused of being rude, disrepectful and even vulgar, goodness gracious...which I say he's not...this is the line of the argument.

Lam-my

Lam-my, regardless of the reason or depth of the "like," we agree, it was not rude or disrespectful.

As Adam would say, it's not that deep.

7:41, there was someone at the Halloweenie party with a trenchcoat and "censored" labels over the important parts ;)

8:09.....Okay, fair enough.

Lam-my

Why is lambertlust posting this?...* i wonder*

@ 6:42.....okay I accept that.....but what I resent is the idea that old people are pitiful! I was stating how I feel.....JAK

The moment we are born we begin to age. It's a fact of life. It's not disgusting, disrespectful or rude. It's life. Some people are old at 25 while others remain young at 90. I prefer to think of myself as young at 73 because I am lucky to have good health, love, family and friends.

I laughed out loud at this picture because it is funny. It's a costume, a characture if you will. I don't look like I did when I was in my twenties. I earned every wrinkle on my body having the time of my life at whatever time in my life it was. When you lose your sense of humor you lose your sense of self.

There is nothing I would change in my life and no time I would want to relive. I have no regrets and many memories of lots of fun and good times. I hope that you youngsters will too as you grow older. You oldsters might want to rethink your lives. I'm sure you can come up with happy memories of great times.

My mother used to say "If life throws you lemons, make lemon meringue pie not lemonade - it's soooooo good."

@ 3:21 ...<3....<3....<3.........JAK here..........are you a secret sister? We possibly had the same mother. Mine was a pip!
Yours sounds pretty good too. Those vintage women were great. Mine would take me to school in the AM....go home, design, cut and make magical clothes on her sewing machine. Pick me up, skate, bike, play jacks or hopscotch with me and in the evenings slide on a slinky gown, brush her Rita Hayworth tumble of curls and sing with a USO band at whatever army post my Dad was stationed at....life was good. Not easy but good. At 83 the day before she died she could still out walk me at the mall. She died in the middle of a funny good natured rant about her doctor's lack of a bedside manner....she had the nurse and I laughing.

Like you I have love, family and friends, good health has escaped me, but when I had it I used it up in a whirl of adventures...no regrets. My "glory days" are far behind me but the present is pretty darn good. Old age isn't frightening to me.....it's just inevitable. I'll soon be 78 I'm hoping to hang around to see 80.....it might be cool!

Actually it's okay whatever you feel about the picture...whether you laugh because it looks whimsical or you don't like it because you think it's disrespectful. It's all subjective because this is a Halloween do. The whole argument started when some started attacking Adam, which is not fair; perhaps he sees it as provocative, whimsical or funny. I personally wouldn't pick this picture because it seems too overdone and actually might kill the objective of being bizarre or attention-grabbing if that was the intention. It did catch Adam's attention though. Like when I first saw it, it didn't quite register what this costume wants to achieve...not subtle and aesthetically not my cup of latte. lwl! So go ahead and feel that it's disrespectful...nothing wrong with one's genuine perception of the Halloween do. But not fair to say Adam is rude, disrespectful and vulgar just because he likes this picture...not so accurate to judge a person based on his likes or dislikes; I'd rather base it on his real character.

I doubt Adam or the person in "costume" meant to make fun of the elderly. I can laugh at just about anything except a disabled person young or old. I saw what my elderly mother went through before she died. It is every elderly person's fear to wear depends. It usually means you're at the end. I have seen the fear firsthand - it is devastating. When I became ill, I saw a community of young and old patients in pain and suffering. It is not pretty to see a young person in this condition believe me. Yes, they were alive but suffering. I guess it's all about one's point of reference. Again, I'm sure Adam and his friend just saw the joke in it. However, in real life, this is no joke. Never meant a person say, guess what, I wear depends now-what fun! Sorry, did not mean to preach...just thinking of Mom ...nancdruuu2
