Interview with a Majors & Minors contestant
We want to introduce you to another cool contestant from The Hub's new show "Majors and Minors." Meet 13-year-old, Cameron DeFaria!
Fanlala: What can audiences expect from Majors and Minors?
Cameron DeFaria: They can expect a family friendly, entertaining reality show that informs the youth of our nation that dreams CAN be achieved.
......
F: Do you have any favorite moments you could tell us about, up to this point?
CD: I would probably have to say when we were working with Alex on choreography. We were just doing a normal rehearsal when Evan came in. He told us that we were gonnna focus a little on stage presence and that he thought he had someone that could help us with it. He called for him and ADAM LAMBERT came through the door. I respect this guy so much for putting himself out there and doing what he does. It was such a cool moment working with Adam on stage presence. I even got to play guitar for him when he sang to us. It was pretty insane. He is such an individual and Im glad that I had that chance.

What Would You Do? A Pop Quiz in Fandom Ethics
9/18/2011 by NoAngel
We belong to a fandom that loves secrets and inside info almost as much as music, and where 'ninja' is a respected verb. I'm sure we all consider ourselves to be good people, but it's funny how morals get all relative and boundaries become blurry when it comes to the object of our affection. Always trying to be of service, I've come up with a simple quiz to test your moral fortitude using several scenarios common in Adam fans' fantasies.
1. You stumble upon Adam's lost iPhone at an airport. You:
a. Lock yourself in the nearest bathroom stall and examine every photo, text, email, Twitter DM, and the entire music playlist as though you were a CSI investigator charged with saving the planet from imminent destruction.
b. Do the same as "a" except weep guilty tears the whole time.
c. Interrogate every airport employee at length until you find one who's never heard of Adam, and turn the phone in to this freak of nature without looking back.
2. A genie gives you the opportunity to steal one item from Adam's wardrobe. You:
a. Grab the poncho and gleefully burn it by the swimming pool much to the delight of Sauli's raccoons.
b. Try on and photograph every item in his closet and jewelry box. Send the pics to Gelly for ~research purposes. Pull one thread out of the Dickens-orphan scarf to have bronzed and framed for your Adam altar.
c. Explain to the genie that Adam's clothing choices are his own and you cannot intervene lest you change the future course of humanity, which may well depend upon the poncho.
3. You log onto Twitter only to find that Adam has accidentally followed your account. You:
a. Get wildly drunk and flood him with DMs, advising him on everything from hair styles to relationship pitfalls and professing your undying and fathomless love in haiku form.
b. Open a new Twitter account for flailing, while using the old one to tweet what you hope are amusing philosophical-astrological-popcultural musings for his entertainment.
c. Block his account immediately to protect his sanity from your lack thereof.
4. While driving behind a garbage truck, you see a bag of what turns out to be Adam's trash fall from the vehicle. You:
a. Call every American and Finnish tabloid you know and start an international bidding war for the prize.
b. Grab a pair of latex gloves and dive right in while calculating the appropriate starting price for half-eaten celebrity sandwiches on eBay. Donate 50% of the proceeds to Donor's Choose.
c. Deliver the trash to the city dump yourself and then send Adam a polite tweet reminding him to separate his recyclables from regular waste and suggesting that he compost organic matter.
5. The legendary sex tape comes into your possession. You:
a. Post it on your locked YouTube channel and charge ten thousand of your closest friends a hefty fee for viewing.
b. Draw all the blinds, lock all the doors, and watch it on repeat until you go blind.
c. Program "Mount Doom" into your GPS device and travel at top speed to Mordor in order to destroy the tape forever by flinging it into fiery depths.
To calculate results, give yourself 3 points for each A, 2 points for each B, and 1 point for each C.
5-7 points: Congrats, you qualify for sainthood. Collect your halo and gold star at the door. Also, GTFO of the fandom—you are of no use to us.
8-12 points: You may or may not have the moral strength to withstand temptation. In the immortal words of Whoopi Goldberg, "You in danger, girl!" If it's any comfort, you have plenty of company.
13-15 points: OMG where are your morals???? I’m appalled and distressed and horrified, etc, etc. Please contact me immediately if one of the above scenarios occurs so that I can take the matter out of your hands and provide, ummm… guidance and assistance.
