Hmm, so what's this about? Found this on hooplamagnet. A German blog saying something about a double album with Adam and some guy named Steve Cook called Paramount Sessions.

Link: musik-magazin.blog.de/2011/09/16/adam-lambert-steve-cooke-neues-doppelalbum-paramount-sessions-video-11858648/

Google translate:

Grammy-nominated singer Adam Lambert (American Idol) and winner of the Hollywood Music Awards and Media Steve Cooke interpret ten rock ballads on the new double album "Paramount Sessions".

The result is the complete album by the artist directly at Paramount Recording Studios in Hollywood.

Adam Lambert and Steve Cooke are working together here with a top-class all star band: On guitar Monte Pitman (Madonna, Adam Lambert, Prong) on bass, piano and keyboards Marcus Brown (Seal, Madonna, Tina Turner) and drummer Steve Sidelnyk (Seal, Madonna). As a special guest is Phil X (lead guitar, by the way also for Bon Jovi). Steve Cooke's CD produced Grammy-Winner Bob Cutarella (also produced for Slash, Les Paul and Celine Dion).

During his incredibly successful performances at American Idol Adam Lambert captured the hearts of Americans with songs by Johnny Cash and Queen surprised, then pop interpretations on his debut CD, and proves with this album his talent for rock ballads.

The album is easy listening for all fans with a clear recommendation, perhaps comparable to Maroon 5 or Matchbox 20
Also caused a stir two videos: "Radio" and "Gravity". In "Radio" plays Steve Cooke and Adam Lambert Band, Steve Ferrone on drums (drummer for Tom Petty).

It continues to be exciting: two songs from the double album for this year's Hollywood Music Awards and nominated media. Including "Best Video" (radio) and "Best Song" (Gravity).
Behind the Album Dublyn Jones, the author of all 20 songs.

EDITTED BY Q3 FOR CLARITY.

This is NOT "The Adam Paramount Sessions" -- the Citizen Vein recordings of about 12 Adam + Monte songs. This is the unreleased indie album.

Looks like that got managled because Adam Lambert is referenced in the press release associated with Monte Pittman.

Steve Cooke recorded a totally different album -- and Monte played guitar on that album. Info here: top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=70351

Steve Cooke's album also features international artists like Monte Pittman, (guitar Madonna/Adam Lambert), Madonna's/Seal's rhythm section, Steve Sidelnyk on drums and Marcus Brown on keys and bass. Additional musicians are Ric Fierabraci on bass and Phil X (Bon Jovi) adding some special guitar licks.

******

Wiki is correct on this one: Steve recorded a new studio album in 2010 at Paramount recording studios in Hollywood California. For this album "Radio" (produced by 2x Grammy award winner Bob Cutarella), Steve is backed by an all star band including Monte Pittman on guitar (Madonna, Adam Lambert, Prong), Phil X on lead (Tommy Lee, Methods of Mayhem, Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Alice Cooper etc.) Marcus Brown on bass, keys (Seal, Madonna, Tina Turner etc.) Steve Sidelnyk (Seal, Madonna) and Niki Haris (Madonna, Sheryl Crowe) on backing vocals. The album was written and produced by Mick Jones and engineered by 2 time Grammy winning engineer Alfonso Rodenas.

Dunno if you peeps are even thinking about this any more, but I'll add whatever little additional light on this that my German-knowledge might shed...

Just to clarify, cause the google-translation seems a bit mangled:

The claim is that this is a double album jointly called "The Paramount Sessions"--ten songs performed by Steve Cook, ten completely separate songs performed by Adam, all backed by the Monte Pittman all-star band, and all supposedly written by Dublyn Jones. Songs have a light-rock kind of sound.

This isn't worth much, of course, and not even the article's author gives it much authority. A knowledgeable German fan commented beneath the article that this seemed unlikely as Adam's own album was coming out early 2012, and informed the author of the background--the Adam/Monte recordings of Citizen Vein songs which Monte probs wanted to release but about which Adam was understandably hesitant (thus said German fan). The fan wanted to know the author's source. Author responded: "The source is a press release from Coldwater Entertainment/Gonzo Multimedia. For now of course we have to trust them. However, I haven't found any further indications of this on the Web, either, and have asked for further details on the situation."

We'll see if anything comes of this. But I'm totally with Q3 and the rest of you on doubting it all...Just thought you might like a tiny bit more info, from a German speaker...

OH, and I'M SO ONBOARD with an Adam/Missy/Timbaland situation. You know, in case anyone is listening and counting votes!

Ohh - that was just posted on my RL Facebook from a good friend! :/

ETA: Will watch - I have several gay friends who grew up in Mormon homes! Thanks!

I remembered reading the article at the time and his name rung a bell. Just finished the movie. You will be appalled. Seriously, everyone should watch. It has so many levels to it and the whole time, I'm thinking how incredibly brave Adam is

One of the most chilling parts is when they retell the circumstances of a young man who committed suicide inside the Mormon Church. He was gorgeous and seemingly bright and sweet. A former church member told about how tortured he was as a child: "For every birthday, when he blew out the candles, he wished he would no longer be gay. He would not let himself watch his favorite TV show or go to a birthday party if he was still having 'those feelings.'"

He went into the church and shot himself in the mouth and left a computer-generated do not resuscitate order.

His parents wrote a book afterward siding with the church. They said the entire family all felt a "profound sense of relief" after their sweet, gorgeous, amazing son committed suicide.

They were going to be in the documentary, then backed out.

Cried from just what you wrote! :'(

Why can't we hold parents who wish death upon their own child responsible for that child's death? They probably have driven their own child to that point. How can a child have a will to live when its own parents feel that it was better if it were not alive? And no way this child did not know its own parents feelings in that matter. They probably taught it that way too.

This stuff makes me so upset.

We throw a mother into prison who accidentally took her eyes off a child for two seconds and an accident happened and not that I am condoning any negligence, but where is the balance. These parents willfully let their child go down that path to so much self-hate and lack of acceptance that the child killed himself?

Then these parents are glad their kid is dead, brag about their "religious belief" and are considered for a documentary. They should be behind bars, imo.
