Sorta OT.....Rihanna and Kanye were the half time entertainment at the NBA All Star Game. She wasn't completely horrible but it does make you appreciate Adam's vocals so much more. Our boy can sing live.

I have to admit, I am really disappointed they didn't both have the aqua board shorts. When they unpacked it would have been a LOOL moment! Did Q3 go to bed? She would be EVER SO HAPPY to see Adam is these! Sauli looks great in the aqua board shorts. OMG Adam looks so ????????, I don't even know what to say. Yes, I do, but, will not put it in writing. 8-) Q3 comment -- don't ya know -- I never sleep! HA! Couldn't resist! 12.33AM ET drop in! |

Sorry, have to disagree with whomever doesn't think they are pap pix. I also uploaded the Hawaii/Bentley pix and they came with the same automatic description. He's the description from the Hawaii pix and we know those were paps. See the similarities:
EXCLUSIVE: Adam Lambert hits Starbucks with his mother in a Bentley while in Waikiki, Hawaii. The pop star was in a great mood as he exited with his coffee and then headed off down the road. Lambert was also spotted along the side of the road on the famed
They even had the same font. And the description was so long that it was cut off. Seems like the description in a magazine. It's quite unusual for an individual to put such a long explanation on their photos.
And why would the hotel say "rumored boyfriend".
Definitely pap pix.

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. Um, anyone who wins a trip has to pay taxes on it. Sure, it's possible they're pap pics, but why would they wait a respectable length of time and go for something totally innocuous like jet ski pics? |

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. I think it's just fun specualtion. I don't think anyone here thinks they have any say in when, where, or with whom Adam works. And it's not just AI because I've been hoping for a new Bob Seger CD for almost 4 years now and I also wish P!NK would have that damn baby and go back on tour, because seeing her once wasn't nearly enough! :-/ ETA: Susie, because Jet Skiing was the only time Sauli and Adam left their room !! LOL!  They had a lot to catch up on! ETA Again: As long as they aren't private pics, off his Facebook, I don't care where they came from, Paps, resort, fans, ..... They are no more "revealing" than any of the ones from Saulis visits in LA. |

Could they be both part of the Bora Bora package and paps pictures? Adam could agree to be photographed in Lieu of the trip. The resort agreed to wait until Adam was gone before they sold them to the tabloids. Win/Win
Would Adam still have to pay A gift tax if the photos paid for the trip? Could it be income from A public appearance?

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. Yes, Adam is the first time I have fallen into the stalker category. :  Yes, I am familiar with resort photographers, not in this league though. Hubby used to scuba dive, in the Bahama's he and his dive buddy had their picture taken on a dive with a friendly grouper named "Frankie". Frankie was very friendly, loved to eat sausages the divers fed him, after three years Frankie was gone, the best guess was he was either caught by a fisherman or shark bait. Anyway, a dive photographer would go down with all the divers to take their pics with Frankie. He posed for free (except for the sausages) Pretty cool Adam is getting to cash in, so to speak, on some of these celebrity trips! |

Guys, if you look at this pic...  ...on adam_pictures site bit.ly/eAR5FM --where you can enlarge -- and then you look at the third guy in the pic... look at what's written on his shorts. Jetpics or something like that. It seems real obvious to me that these are agreed upon pics. They're not "private" cuddling sessions or anything remotely intimate or embarrassing. They're just Adam and his boyfriend on jetskis while on their amazing semi-comped (?) vacation. I am not even slightly surprised that they were released. Nor am I surprised that Splash and other celebrity news sites would add THEIR OWN captions. I am amazed that pages might be spent discussing where they came from instead of just enoying the pretty! ;D  I love his new board shorts! And he looks sexy as hell. If I remember, that's exactly the topic P.1 started with this morning, right?! |
