Look what amazing Adam Lambert is doing now!
October 27th, 2014 by Lisa McGarry.
Adam Lambert is perhaps one of the most charitable and philanthropic celebrities around and this week, once again, he’s proved that he’s always happy to help for a good cause.
The former American Idol star has previously thrown his weight behind safe water charities, anti bullying campaigns and of course a whole raft of LGBT organisations but this week his focus is on families who have battled cancer.
Adam has joined with 50 other celebrities in signing a stunning, limited edition, Epiphone PR-150VS acoustic guitar and the instrument will now be auctioned off with the proceeds being donated to “a family who have experienced a personal battle with cancer,” according to his official website.
Lambert appeared on hit Fox musical TV show Glee earlier in this year, which may have been when he leant his signature to the cause, as a number of his former co-star have also signed the guitar. Other stars include Taylor Swift, Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus.
Meanwhile, Adam has been using his celebrity to help boost the profile of other, newer, stars once again this week and after heading to see British singer Jessie Ware in concert in LA, he tweeted about the event saying:
“@jessieware killin it in LA tonight. Mad respect. Gorgeous set.”
Adam was taking some time off from recording his own album, which is expected to drop in the next six months and the star recently revealed that he’s signed with a new record label and taken his music in an entirely different direction from what fans may be used to.
The hunk will soon be heading out on the road again with Queen, so is hoping to get all his writing and recording done before his tour restarts. Is anyone else ridiculously excited about finally getting some new tunes?

Adam Lambert Gives Us One Truly Fabulous Costume And A Performance At Matthew Morrison’s Halloween Party
October 27th, 2014
If you’re anything like me, chances are you were patiently waiting for Halloween to roll around this year for one very important reason: Adam Lambert‘s Halloween costume.
Every year he goes all out and every year his costumes are awesome. This year Adam went for a Rocky Horror themed costume in honor of Kelly Osbourne‘s Rocky Horror themed birthday, and, of course , it was awesome.
Also, can we talk about how busy he was in that costume this weekend?
First there was Kelly’s party, then there was his Glee co-star Matthew Morrison‘s party, presented by Freixenet, where he not only looked fabulous, but also performed. I know, what a gem. Adam gave the crowd a performance of “Another One Bites The Dust”. You can enjoy a quick clip below.
Basically guys, Adam Lambert won Halloween. Well, him and Colton Haynes. Once you launch the gallery, you’ll see why Colton is also winning–and you’ll get to appreciate Adam. Yay! Side note: I love those curls.

Matthew Morrison Celebrates Birthday with Epic Halloween Party -- See the Costumes!
A ton of stars got the jump on Halloween this weekend, with costume parties going down in Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday night.
While celebs like Hilary Duff, Cindy Crawford, Tim Allen and more got wild at the Casamigos bash in L.A. on Friday (see those photos here), even more got crazy at "Glee" star Matthew Morrison's birthday/Halloween soiree the following evening.
This is the fifth time the actor has held a costume party to celebrate his b-day, this one going down at Hyde Los Angeles.
Morrison and new wife Renee Puente dressed up as John Travolta and Uma Thurman's characters from "Pulp Fiction" -- and were surrounded by friends with equally inventive costumes. Celebs dressed as superheroes, animals and Riff Raff from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" all made appearances as the bash, but none was as impressive as the actor who went as Princess Fiona from "Shrek."
Covered in green paint, this actor was totally unrecognizable at the party. Who is he? Find out in the gallery here: www.toofab.com/2014/10/27/matthew-morrison-halloween-birthday-party-costume-photos/#sthash.h5bF5k0o.dpuf

Queen's Roger Taylor Talks Solo Work, Hopes Band Will Record With Adam Lambert

Roger Taylor is taking a minute to shine a spotlight on his work outside Queen.
The drummer has two collections of his solo work coming. Best, due out Oct. 27, features 18 selected tracks ranging from his 1977 rendition of Parliament's "I Wanna Testify" to his 2013 album Fun On Earth, as well as material from his side band The Cross that included guest appearances by Queen mates Freddie Mercury and Brian May. That will be followed on Nov. 11 by The Lot, a boxed set of all of Taylor's solo material on 12 CDs and one DVD, including a 64-page hardbound book.
Queen to Release New Album, Unreleased Freddie Mercury Songs
Taylor tells Billboard that going solo "wasn't a case of drummer-itis ... it was just that I felt capable of doing stuff on my own and I thought I'd like to do something that was just mine and not always being part of a band."
With the upcoming packages, Taylor says, "It's very weird, but it's very sort of satisfying for me to have all the stuff I've done by myself in one sort of neat package. It's very nice. It feels like I can draw a line and move on."
He'll next be moving back into Queen mode. First up is Queen Forever, a compilation coming Nov. 11 that includes three unreleased tracks, including the late Mercury's duet with Michael Jackson, "There Must Be More to Life Than This."
"It was really something the record company wanted," Taylor says, "and we did have these three tracks that have never been heard, so we tried to put together an interesting collection."
Queen Forever comes in both single- and double-disc editions, and Taylor says there's another track that Mercury and Jackson recorded together, but Queen hasn't received permission to release that.
"Obviously with different companies involved, it's quite complicated," he notes. "We seemed to resolve something and we have permission to release this one track, but it was not the easiest (negotiations). And I think, what a shame -- Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, two great talents, neither of them is with us anymore."
Brian May Launches '40 Years of Queen' Ebook
Queen + Adam Lambert, meanwhile, is gearing up for more work after touring North American and Australia this year. The group kicks off a European tour Jan. 13 in the United Kingdom, which Taylor predicts "will be interesting for Adam because I think he's more known in the States and places like Australia than he is in Europe."
"But it's been fantastic everywhere," he says about the previous touring. "Every night, every place we went, the reception was tremendous and that was a delightful surprise just to think that after all these years we can still go out and do it. But it was great with Adam, I have to say. He really fitted in beautifully."
And, Taylor says, he's hoping for an opportunity to see if that fit extends to the recording studio for some new music together. He says,
"I think it would be a very interesting experiment," he says. "It would be nice to just go in and see what came out. I don't know if it would be an album or anything, but I think it's too good a marriage to jsut let it go at touring. I'm sure we'll do something. His voice is so extraordinary, and it's a beautiful instrument. I think it would be nice."
Taylor adds with a laugh that, "I guess we better come up with some material. We've sort of mentioned it, yeah, but not in a serious way. I think we'll probably get this [European] tour over with and maybe come up while we're touring, 'Do you want to go in and try to write something?'"
Duets Featuring Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury to Be Released
Taylor adds that the group did film a show in Sydney and also recorded audio every night, which will result in some sort of release "that will be out there at some point," though no details have been determined.
