It seems like resort PR to me; they took pics with the agreement that they wouldn't be released until after he left. Seems like he would know better than to not post to his FB until he found out who was leaking them. If they were paps, they would likely be time-stamped and they would NOT have waited until he left. This is good news, I didn't see this post when I posted a reply to mys*&@^#r50. I sure hope this is exactly where the pics came from, I would hate for Adam to still be having problems with his private FB account. As much as I love seeing these, it would make me feel bad to know he didn't want anyone to see them except who he chose. After all, this place has to be pretty dang expensive/exclusive so he must have wanted his privacy. If the resort posted them, this is a curiosity question, do celebrities get discounts for promoting these destinations? Well, he was given the trip just for standing in the gifting suite and posing in front of the poster, so that is part of the trade off. He was probably amicable to anything else. The Splash thing does smack of pap photos, but I can't imagine paps would be so courteous as to wait until just after Adam tweeted before releasing; their thing woud be the scoop. Makes more sense that it was part of the package deal. And I'm sure it has been done in the past, but we don't stalk anyone like we do Adam, so who would know? These types of resorts often have photographers to document all your adventures (y'know, like Vegas and cruise ships) and they charge you every five minutes. I imagine IF it was a PR venture, they had their photographers on hand. |

Absolutely. He had to do something for the comp vacay. This was it. Don't know how many celebs would take it if this were the case. Why would he take a trip knowing there would be interruptions? I think the tweet was the promo. Or he agreed that his name could be used in promo such as "Come to the St. Regis, Adam Lambert did". Or even the photo in front of the poster would cover. The trip may be comp but Adam has to include the FMV (fair mkt val) of this trip in his taxable income. He will get a 1099 form. If this trip costs close to $30k including air fare and amenities, he will pay about $12K in fed & state/lcl taxes. edit: I think these are pap pix. I uploaded a couple to flickr and they come with a detailed automatic description, the same way prior pap pix did. |

Discounts??? Discounts???!! He got 3 free nights and free airfare for 2!!! You must have missed that info a few days ago during the specualtion. It was a gift from the Golden Globe (or was it Grammy?) gifting suite! Really? That's a fact? I missed that - wow. So, who foots that bill? The Golden Globes or the resort? I guess the resort doing so makes more sense, right? |

I do not want to come off as the selfish bitch!!!!! |

I agree with her-- paps wouldn't have waited till after After Adam was gone. This was part of the deal for adam. |

Otherwise, why take such a short vacation? That's a lot of flying time for 3 1/2 days of vacay unless you have a reason to get back so soon. No? |

I think it's back to work tomorrow since he mentioned those appointments in an interview. In fact, if the St. Regis package was for 3 nights, that means Wednesday (when they arrived) through Friday with checkout on Saturday. So maybe they flew back yesterday and they were in LA when Adam tweeted yesterday about missing his GNT family. Just a hunch. |

Don't other artist just go about their lives, have relationships, have fun and just make their music.
I don't get why we all think we have a say in when he decides to start on his CD. I mean I know we all want some new music, but why do we think we have a say in his time table?
Maybe it's the AI thing where we feel we have a vote in what he does or how he lives his life.
