When Adam Lambert arrives with his blazer and his beads, bracelets and rings, making noise with a low heel shoe and dangling the car keys, everyone looks and says the presence of celebrity. Some giggle. A gay couple in line gets to speak: "I just want to see if it will get in line."
Adam and friend go straight to the counter of the iPhone 6, where they are greeted by a salesperson. I'm back and I'm nearby. I'm like, people! It's in my nature! Judge me!
The singer, who launched to stardom after participating in the "American Idol" in 2009, evaluates the price of an iPad as a phone chat with the seller.
Adam picks up the phone and makes pro blondie friend questions, smiling the whole time and nods "yes" to all inquiries head to the famous Lambert.
Comes the moment of truth: Adam wants to buy an iPhone 6
He gets to pick the wallet to use the credit card, but the seller starts to say "sorry" several times, trying to explain that he could not make the purchase at that moment.
The singer looks away from the conversation and realizes that there is a huge queue outside the store. The blondie gets a face "only regret" the singer, who warns that the seller back another time. The two leave the store without buying anything.
Do you think celebrity is treated with distinction and sticks queue at the Apple Store? No. It's difficult for everyone. Yeah same for everyone.
But what if it was Beyonce, the queen of the universe? What seller would have the courage to say no?
That's it, folks. I hope you have tanned that our field of graaaaande importance that serves to broaden our knowledge of the world and human beings. After all, we're here for.

She hid her short dark locks underneath a tan beret and wore a deep shade of purple lipstick.
Although they are old friends, Rose recently made headlines by speaking out against the gay community for what she believes has been a lack of support for women's rights.
She said during a conversation on Brett Easton Ellis’ podcast: ‘I see now basically people who've fought for the right to stand on top of a float wearing an orange speedo and take molly (MDMA).
‘And I see no help, and I see no paying it forward, and I have a huge problem with that.
‘There are so many things to help and do, and I see no extending of a hand outside of the gay community to another community, and that's a problem for me.’

Controversy: She recently made headlines by speaking out against the gay community for what she believes has been a lack of support for women’s rights.
Rose added: ‘Gay men are as misogynistic as straight men, if not more so. I have an indictment of the gay community right now, I’m actually really upset with them.'
After a good deal of backlash to her comments, the Tell Tale Heart star issued an apology, published to The Huffington Post.
‘I made a dumb generalization, and for that I apologize,’ she wrote. ‘For everything else I said, no, I will not.
‘…What I want is for gay rights activists to help other disenfranchised groups. These activists are experts while so many other groups flounder. It's time to share the wealth and knowledge.
‘And I will correct myself and my off-the-cuff comment — gay men certainly aren't more misogynistic than heteros, but I've met some who have come damn close.
‘In some ways, it's more damaging, because it's coming from men that have faced so much hate.’

Queen’s Brian May comes to Adam Lambert’s defense: ‘He’s not an imitator’
November 15, 2014

As Queen prepares to perform 25 shows in 10 countries across the UK and Europe in early 2015, Brian May continues to frame Adam Lambert’s contributions as a stand in for the late Freddie Mercury.
“Adam is beautifully confident,” May tells Nik Carter, “but he’s never arrogant. He’s always respectful. He’s always looking for the right way to do things. He brings himself to it, that’s all I can say. He’s not an imitator. He doesn’t need to pretend to be Freddie, in any sense whatsoever.”
Lambert first performed with May and Roger Taylor, the remaining members of Queen, in 2009 as part of the finale for American Idol. They regrouped for a short tour in 2012, then began a lengthier run through the U.S. and into Asia after performing at the iHeart Radio Festival in September 2013.
By the time Queen takes the stage for the 2015 concerts, the group’s association with Lambert will have outlasted his predecessor Paul Rodgers — who took over for Mercury between 2004-09. Founding bassist John Deacon has retired. Mercury died in 1991 from complications related a battle with AIDS.
“I don’t know if it’s a marriage,” May adds, “but it’s a very good affair.”

Boy George thinks Adam Lambert would be more successful if he were British
November 15th, 2014 by Emily H.
Singer Boy George is accrediting Culture Club’s success in the US to being British, suggesting that the group’s nationality “adds extra appeal” to their music.
“I think part of it [Culture Club's success] was the fact that I was from England,” he revealed to The Desert Sun. “You know, like, ‘He’s not one of us. We didn’t create it. We don’t have to take responsibility for it.'”
In the same interview, the eccentric singer also mused whether or not former American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert isn’t attributed the same kind of success because he’s American.
“Perhaps, if Adam Lambert were British, he would have a different impact,” Boy George suggested of the Indiana native. “The Scissor Sisters are American, but they seemed to do much better in England. I think, in a way, my British-ness is a part of my appeal.”
Though Lambert has seen mild success in the UK (his 2009 album ‘Trespassing’ reached #3 on the UK midweek chart), the majority of his notoriety has come from his association with Queen, who he is performing with on ‘The X Factor‘ this year.

Boy George however, who has certainly courted controversy in the past, just cancelled his upcoming UK tour citing a “serious throat condition.”
In a statement to his fans, the Brit said; “I’m devastated but I want to be able to perform to the best of my ability and the specialist has told me that right now that will be impossible,” adding, “I will focus on getting better and see all my fans soon.”
The tour was scheduled to begin on December 1st at the SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow. New dates have not yet been announced.
