"Adam Lambert didn't watch the grand finale of American Idol, the show that launched his music career, last night (April 7). He was too busy shooting his role as Eddie in Fox's TV movie remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, set to air this fall. "I know. I'm so sad I missed it," he tells Billboard at 3:30 a.m. at the Toronto soundstage. "I'll probably go find it online somewhere. It is bittersweet because if I hadn't have been working on this, I would have definitely been there. But I was on the show two weeks ago, which was good."

MORE EXCERPTS from the interview (linked above)

NOTE: Minor grumble: The interviewer failed to mention Adam's U.S. "The Original High" Tour dates in the recap of what Adam's been up to since the beginning of the year.. Hoping she'll update the article with that important bit of info! The man is BUSY!!!!! Phew!

Lambert, 34, was the runner-up on the eighth season of the popular franchise. He went on to earn a Grammy nomination, release three solo albums and tour the world fronting Queen.

"I needed some sort of shortcut to the people. And I hoped that Idol would do it for me. It was the right thing at the right time."

On Saturday, he flies to London to do some press and then resumes his tour in Amsterdam on Tuesday, which will take him all over Europe and the U.K. for about six weeks. "Then I get a little break from staying overseas, and then I start doing festivals again with Queen in the summer," he says excitedly.

A new solo album isn't in the cards just yet. Maybe at the end of the year, he says. "When I have a whole break and I can just be home for a little while, I'd like to start working on some new music if I can.

"And I do things, not even in a public forum, like decorating: I bought a house this year and I love creating my environment. We're designing our backyard and working with a landscape architect. I love all that."

Interesting! Is there a "we" in the remodeling? Bet he's putting in a pool!

That's exactly what grabbed my attention - the "we".
Hmmmmmmm - he could be talking about the architects or designers, but ...
wouldn't it be lovely if he meant someone else?

When I saw this in the morning, I immediately saw those 2 words, but I was at work and couldn't leave a comment.

I keep going between his mom and a new friend. I just can't figure out when he has time for a boyfriend. When you look at his touring schedule it is jam packed and if someone was staying in the bus, I'm sure we would find out somehow!
