10 OF 12 ANNA & ADAMKendrick and Lambert actually became friends as teenagers, before hitting it big. In a 2010 interview with Ryan Seacrest, Kendrick recalled seeing her pal at a party the year before. "He told me, 'You can't tell anybody but I tried out for American Idol and I got through Hollywood Week,'" she said. "I was like, 'Okay! You can't tell anybody but I just booked this movie [Up in the Air] with George Clooney!'" A year after that, they met up and "were like, you know, it's been quite a year for both of us," the actress said. Saw an interview with Anna where she said Adam was the first friend she made when she moved to LA to become an actress!

HA! I found the whole article here whole article here - it's about bands who have replaced a member to varying degrees of success. The one thing I disagree with, however, is "desecration of legacy". The Paul era is one that gave fans the chance to experience Queen music (along with Free and Bad Co music) live, and it made a bunch of fans happy during that particular time. The reviews were not quite glowing, and The Cosmos Rocks is an album that all parties involved would like to forget about, but absolutely NOTHING that happened in the QPR era has wrought any damage to the Queen legacy. What Freddie and Co built was not torn down by Brian and Roger touring with a frontman who did not quite fit. In the end, the QPR era will be a minor footnote in Queen history, largely forgotten by the general public (anyone who did not attend a show). No "legacy desecrating". The same logic applies to QAL - what's happening now does not at all change what's happened in the past. I always feel my blood pressure rise when people complain about "MUH LEGACY THO!!!", because there is nobody thinking anything less of historical Queen other than the basement dwellers who spam the youtube and Queen Facebook page comment sections. If anything, QAL is enhancing the Queen legacy because it's getting more people into Queen music AND it's generating incredibly positive press for all parties - Brian, Roger, Adam, and Queen as a band (their songwriting, live productions, and staying power (no pun intended)).

EM.ES @emes79 33m33 minutes ago Top 10: Who is the Most Eligible Bachelor of 2015? www.out.com/bachelor-list-2013/2015/3/02/outs-most-eligible-bachelors-2015 … SURPRISEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
We provided a list of 100 of the most dateable guys on the planet and asked you to vote. Here are the results. For the second year in a row, Adam Lambert was voted the Most Eligible Bachelor with a landslide of votes from his loyal fans. Claymates tried to steal the top spot by bombarding the site with votes, but nothing could catch Lambert, who stayed steady with over 28% of the total votes. Newly single Chris Salvatore clocked in at No. 3 (he was No. 2 last year), followed closely by (also newly single) Johnny Weir. Tyler Oakley made it into the top 5 (although people continue shipping him and Troye Sivan, a new entry at at No. 10). But in our book, all these guys (and many more) are wonderful winners. Enjoy...until next year! Check out the rest of the Top 10 Most Eligible Bachelors below (in reverse order): 1. Adam LambertI really can't imagine CA having much of a following still but I never followed him so I know nothing about his fan based other than they seem to vote like crazy. Clay has a group of very passionate fans on Facebook and they organized a campaign to get Clay to #2. They did not even try to take over #1. Clearly OUT noticed that the votes were coming from the same group of people. I know that Adam was getting all kinds of voters based on just searching for people who posted about voting for him.

So many variables and good stuff to come. Going to be a hard long month waiting, perhaps they will throw us a few crumbs to keep us hyped. Plus we don't know when in April.

Here's an amazingly close up video of FBG from the Sheffield show, shot by my friends who were right in front. Enjoy!

Where in American Idol's season will we be when Adam's single is released? Wouldn't an appearance on AI be a natural fit? I just want to see AFL on my TV...anywhere, anytime! Fallon would probably want to duet BoRap with Adam. I like Ellen just fine, too. My 86 year old Mom never misses her show, even in reruns...would always call to tell me when Adam was going to be on Ellen...like I didn't already know! Too sweet & cute.

If anything, QAL is enhancing the Queen legacy because it's getting more people into Queen music AND it's generating incredibly positive press for all parties - Brian, Roger, Adam, and Queen as a band (their songwriting, live productions, and staying power (no pun intended)). Funny, but I disagree with both you and the author of this article. I think Q+PR and the failure of this and many other collaborations to come close to the height of Queen's live greatness helped the legacy of Freddie and Queen. Not just Paul, but Robbie Williams, Elton, Jessie J. etc. also fail to capture the spirit of this music and a Live Queen concert. (I think George Michael came the closest but based on the video there was no magic there.) I think that Q+AL is different than Queen -- in many ways. For starters, there was no new music in Q+AL -- it was a greatest hits concert. But these shows do remind me of the spirit of the Queen concerts from 1977-1981 which I consider the peak of Queen live. Yes, there was that one moment when they returned to greatness in 1986 but from 1982 - 1985 was not the best of Queen. Hot Space electro disco urgh!, and then no one on stage looked like they were having fun for The Works and the Magic tours. For me, one of the best things about Q+AL was how much fun everyone on stage was having, how happy they were to be there, and to see Brian and Roger so happy was a joy. ** I have a lot of respect for Paul Rodgers. Yes, that Q+PR thing did not seem to work. And post Q+AL, Q+PR looks a bit drabber and ill begotten. But Paul is a great blues-rock singer and I think this rating is too harsh (except for that album which is awful). ** I think Adam is the perfect fit for Queen's music -- partly because he is a nice person who is willing to show his appreciation for the opportunity to be on stage with Queen, partly because he can sing this music gloriously and mostly because he is so different from Freddie that he transforms the music into something new and incomparable and current. Finally, I think it must be so amazing for Brian to hear some of the songs he wrote that Freddie struggled with -- and Freddie himself said that some of the songs Brian brought him made his vocal chords bleed because they were so hard to sing -- be sung by Adam. It was like they were written for Adam to sing -- WWTLF, Save Me, TSMGO, Dragon Attack, IWIA. I would really like to hear Adam sing "Too Much Love Will Kill You", "White Queen (As It Began)" and "The Prophet's Song". There are also three other Queen songs that feel like they were written for Adam: STL, CLTCL and DSMN. (There were also perfect Freddie songs.) And someday, maybe I can hear Adam sing "Nevermore" and "You Take My Breath Away". But are Freddie compositions and closely associated with him but I think these songs should be sung, and sung often, and sung well.

I certainly have no ninja skills when it comes to Adam's movement....BUT I can add/corroborate some of the Queen content! My replies in red: Queen-world, on the other hand, is much easier to get info from. Partly because there are some many people involved. Hot Queen + Adam Lambert rumors -- there are dozens! Here are my favorite RUMORS -- the bolded ones are the ones where I have direct info from someone in a position to know. The regular font ones are second-hand info. --- > Have they (Brian, Roger and Adam) already been in studio? I am told no, they have not been in studio together for a Queen project. My source does not have any idea about Adam's album, just Queen projects.I concur. B,R and A have NOT been in the studio together. With that being said, I'm being told that B & R may be begun the slow process of tinkering with ideas towards songwriting. Nothing big....BUT it's still a sense of moving towards some eventuality. I've been told it's all been on an individual basis as of now. > Will they work on new Q+AL music? Seems possible to me but a very good source close to Queen-world tells me Adam's schedule does not permit this to happen now. My source says he has the impression that Adam does not want to be involved with any new Q+AL releases until after TOH has been released, promoted and he sees what happens with his solo music.Being told that all involved do want to do something but I agree Adam is now concentrating on his efforts before he can even think of committing to anything further than RiR/South America/Live DVD in the QAL world. Everything else is kind of let's see what happens in a few months. One step at a time kind of thing...> Almost confirmed but not official: They are touring South America in September - 3 country, mini tour - Brazil (RiR official), Argentina, Chile. They will not announce other tour dates until after RiR tickets are on sale for a month. So do not expect to hear about other dates until May. Argentina might be a stadium show. Again I concur - NOTHING announced until RiR is on sale for a month. They have toyed with a stadium gig...but I've heard that the stadium gigs wouldn't happen til later. From what I hear SA is going to be big arenas....I could be wrong.> There is a persistent rumor that Queen-world is planning a stadium/big outdoor set version for some big event NOT RiR for Summer 2016 in London or the UK. Glastonbury 2016 seems to be in the mix. I have heard this as well. Many of the big festivals have been wanting to get Queen for a while with or without Adam. As far back as 2009 they've been trying for some UK type festivals...At this point though Queen isn't doing any big shows without Adam....A one off appearance with Foo Fighters wouldn't beout outruled because that is a guest appearance with friends, not a tour or full on concert.> RUMOR They will go to South Africa after South America -- so they can finish the world. A close friend got this bit from a Queen source. 50/50 shot here is what I'm hearing.> RUMOR The Live DVD will be released in early 2016 and there will be a super deluxe version. The DVDs will include performances from 4 concerts plus footage and BTS stuff from many locations. I was told by a Queen-related source who is working on DVD that this could be the best Live Queen release ever. They have amazing footage and audio recordings to work with. (That end bit could be just hype or true.) This is kind of what I'm hearing too....although the ending bit sounds like typical Queen camp hype. Not saying it's not...but saying that it's always said. Right now part of the issue is that Queen is working on the next archive release first - one reason it'll take til 2016 to get it done. I believe they are working on Hammersmith 75 at least if not including it in some kind of Live Killers Box Set. I think they figure if they can wait til 2016 they can include bits from RiR. And I don't think it's 4 full performances. I think it would be the equivalent of one show but maybe taken from a few different sets. I could be wrong there though.> RUMOR There will be another Q+AL Big Tour -- I am told that they will not decide until the dust settles but that Q+AL will continue to perform. I am told that a lot depends on Brian's and Roger's health, their willingness to take on another tour, and promoters ability to get insurance. A source in Queen-world tells me that a mini-tour in 2016 and a couple big TV events is more likely. *** I honestly believe that Adam is also a bit of a wildcard here. If TOH is huge, he can do a solo arena tour and Q+AL looks less attractive. If TOH is not huge, Q+AL may look really attractive. I'm being told B&R did have a blast...Roger is ready to go tomorrow despite him being tired. He really kind of looks at it as what else am I going to do? He never sets the world alight with his solo releases and I think that kind of hurts a bit so he tends to not want to do them. He puts his soul into the releases to not get much feedback so he'd almost rather would not do it but he knows the crowd is there for a big Queen show so he is ready. Brian wants to do it but Brian wants to do everything - I wonder if he takes a little time away if he may get distracted...we'd have to see. I ALSO agree on Adam. I long ago said that a lot will hinge on ToH. If ToH is huge than he's going to be pressured to follow it up and promote and might not have as much time for QAL. If ToH goes the way of say Trespassing (Big opening but a big petering out) than Adam will have more of an open schedule...and as we all know a Queen tour will definitely pay his bills AND how does that work with a studio recording. I think Rog and Bri will say that you can only tour on Queen nostalgia for so long, so something new artistically will be necessary to move forward. > RUMOR Adam has some conflict for Q4 2015 and is not available to do much with Q+AL until 2016. A close friend got this bit from a Queen source. *** I did not hear this. But it could be right!

Amen! I have nothing but respect for Paul. Paul, even before Adam, got Brian and Roger to play together again! The UK/European/South American portions of the tours were sellouts and most people who went have said they had a great time. I know I did. AND I *STILL* think Cosmos Rocks is a bit underrated. It's not a classic and all 3 men have done better but it was a bit of a weird marriage and it's still worthy of a spin.
