Adam is off for a mini-break in Aspen with Markus Molinari and some other friends. I think we are certain to see some pictures from this weeks festivities plus some promotion for the new Bootsy Bellows Aspen club. It open on December 16, 2013 and has been packed since opening. [Marcus, as most Adam fans know, is on of the owners of Bootsy Bellows and if also a long-term and close friend of Adam, Katy Perry and many other LA glitterari.]

Plaid seems like it is everywhere this season, but Adam is one of the few who make it look good. The above photo was from Milan Fashion Week Spring 2013/2014. www.jasmology.com/blog/blog/milan-menswear-fashion-week-street-style-2013-2014/ 

OBFIP?

Adam is making plaid look good! I guess I will might have to redefine my view of this colorful fabric. Prehaps we now have OBFIP (Adam fans circa 2009 will get this OLFIP reference - since some Adam fans dubbed Kris Allen as "Our Little Friend In Plaid" OLFIP during the Idol era. Hard to imagine that Adam would end up being the Idol who showed how to make plaid look stylish.



In any case, love Adam but do not expect me to replace my signature black with plaid just because it is a hot fashion trend he has embraced. Yes, plaid has moved beyond the boring safety of the classic flannel shirt and school uniforms and may be hot, but it's still just a "not" for me.



Adam in Plaid is quite another thing -- well Adam makes almost anything look good.



More Adam News....


Adam's #3 Rank on Forbe's Top Earning Idol Lists seems to surprise many

One of many similar reports...

Although the Forbes estimate is not particularly accurate, it is directionally correct and is the kind of report that give reporters and reads the impression of who is successful and who is not. Coming in a #3 with $5 million will leave the impression of someone who is successful -- and, in this case, change some perceptions, in a good way.

Brian May gets all-clear following prostate cancer scare

Queen artist confirms there's 'still some mysteries to solve' but celebrates news by heading back into the studio, where he and Roger Taylor have been working on previously unheard music featuring the late Freddie Mercury...

After a succession of "urgent" tests, Queen's Brian May has been reassured that his prostate is cancer-free. While "there are still some mysteries to solve" with regard to the guitarist's health, May said he is celebrating an end to last month's cancer scare.

On his blog, May recalled the recent conversation with his medical specialist. "He said, 'I have good news,'" May wrote. "'The result of your prostate biopsy is here, and we did not find any cancer cells.'"

May does still seem concerned with his health. He is "in the clear," he wrote, only "as far as that vital organ is concerned". Still, "it's a great relief" and the 66-year-old said he is "[taking] a moment to count [his] blessings". "I celebrated in the studio with a cup of tea. Hey - I know how to rock!"

May's studio time is clearly paying off: he and Roger Taylor have been digging through Queen's unfinished recordings, adding new instrumentation for a possible release. In addition to recordings featuring the band's late singer, Freddie Mercury, and their former bassist, John Deacon, there are also tapes from Mercury's 1980s sessions with Michael Jackson.

"The track we dusted off today has the four of us, Freddie, John [Deacon], Roger and myself, playing together on a track we'd all forgotten about, that was never finished," May wrote this weekend. "It sounds so fresh ... and, well, it's crying out to finally be brought into the world. What's great is nobody has got a hold of this and leaked it. How brilliant is that? ... This is something shiny and to all intents and purposes NEW."

"I can't help but feel a buzz," he went on. "I'm energised again. It's nice to be putting the Queen hat on again for a while. This year will be interesting, to say the least."

In a December interview with Canoe, Roger Taylor said that Queen will probably reunite with 31-year-old singer Adam Lambert for some shows in 2014.

This music timeline will make you feel ancient
Posted by Daniel Bromfield on Wednesday, Jan. 15 at 12:00 pm.

With every passing year, the young begin to feel more ancient. Nirvana is classic rock, Uncle Phil has passed on and many of this year’s incoming high school freshmen were born in 2000. Perhaps nowhere does time flash by more quickly than in the fickle world of popular music. Here are five musical events you might remember from five years ago and 10 from 10 years ago — even if you forgot how much time has passed since then.

2009:

1. Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” hits number one (Jan. 8) after the slowest climb to the top by any pop song in history — 22 weeks. If you really want to feel ancient, remember that her debut album The Fame came out six years ago.

2. Kris Allen beats Adam Lambert for the title of American Idol (May 20). Last we heard from Adam Lambert, he was collaborating with Queen and breaking down barriers as the first openly gay artist to debut an album at number one on the Billboard chart. Last we heard from Kris Allen, he beat Adam Lambert on American Idol.
