So... what is Adam upto today? Filming? Going to a wedding? getting some sleep? Some (all?) the cast are in Toronto. He may very well be as well. His time is very limited for the next several months. The wedding is almost certainly around the weekend of March 19th and is in SoCal. So looking at the calendar, he films this week, possibly a few days in midMarch before the wedding or after QAL is done for the summer (not likely imo). |

Isn't celebmix one of those sites like examiner.com where pretty much anyone can write an article? I saw the first few comments under the Sam Smith article yesterday and while they did all question why Sam and not Adam, they weren't horrible. I don't know what happened later or on Twitter. But it is embarrassing as a fan to see a lot of this stuff. I don't know if it hurts Adam in the long run. Every fandom has its extremes. The truth is the truth.. delusion is not the truth.Whatever celebrix is or not, the article sure insulted Adam by not recognizing his great contribution to music and to LBGTQ charities . Celebrix gave credit for much of what Adam has done to somebody else who didn't deserve it.Kind of like rewriting history. I think you missed my point. Whether the article was delusional or not, the comments I saw, while questioning why it wasn't about Adam, weren't abusive. I don't know if there were worse things on Twitter and that's what the celebmix tweet was about. My point was that (I think) ANYONE can be a writer for that site, so whatever is there needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Fans look silly overreacting to it. And while Adam has done a lot and helped open doors, there are others who did and are doing things in their own way. Maybe they take it as an insult that we consider Adam to be the trailblazer. I don't want to get into an argument, I just don't understand the outrage and the need that seems to come up all the time for fans to get so defensive on Twitter. |

Ok I guess I did miss the point and you have a very good point about Celemix. A grain of salt is a good thing. I guess I'm a bit thin skinned when it comes to Adam.. I did respond above that my walk cleared my head and I thought of others resenting Adam for getting credit ,while they did not .. So I guess The more the better in helping the LGBTQ Community. |

Whle I am in full agreement about havinga fan identifiable name being problematic, singling her out is not really fair. Nile did a long twitter exchange with quite a few folks, pro and con. Her comment was one of many through the course of 45 minutes or so of tweets. She is just a teen, was not disrespectful and later apologized to him in case he felt hurt by her comment. Twitter is the devil! I embrace the fourth wall separating celebs from their "fans." Nile didn't really single her out, tho, IMO - it's not like he intruded on a conversation between her and her friends/"followers"(?) - she singled him out and, as if they were best buds or something, and tweeted "can I be honest? I didn't like your performance." Niles responded. Who really knows who anyone is on line - I see people questioning if she really even is a teen or not, but whoever, however old, if a person tweets out, anyone can tweet back if you don't block. Niles wasn't disrespectful to her, either. He made a point. I may not have been clear, I did not say that Nile singled her out, I was commenting on hers (at that point of my reading the thread) being the only one of the series posted. Later more of the complete conversation was added. Actually pretty much everyone truly participating in the tribute discussion portion of that conversation was civil, it was some of the others, the twitter police, that came bounding in and escalated things. Twitter is indeed the devil! Or maybe just a tool for devils?:-)))) |

Were those tweets from Celebmix about attacks towards them and abuse towards SS deleted? I don't see them there at all. And yes, they are total click bait ....and will take articles written by basically anyone willing to write something. Researched or not. Yes they are deleted. Is the site clickbait? Of course it is, do note though that they are routinely quoted here when they post something nice about Adam, including the followup article. So they are either worthy or they are not, it would be disingenous to accept them as news worthy here only when we agree with their message. Oh believe me, I have noted that they are quoted here when they post something nice........... and I roll my eyes at them and their ilk. Anything from a Wordpress blog or Pressparty and many others I can't recall the names of ATM etc. are just throwaways IMO. If it isn't tied to a legit publication/major news paper/magazine it isn't anything to get excited about. YMMV |
