9.28.11 Adam News and Info

Happy B-day ilovehawaian!!!!!!!

Heidi and Adam- I think they seemed comfortable and friendly and that Heidi thought Adam was beautiful and had a nice build. It seemed to be like two fashion/model/in the public eye for their striking looks people talking together, and like she was asking him questions she was interested in because of her own experience with that kind of celebrity. How do you feel about people expecting you to be beautiful all of the time? is it a pressure? Do you have to exercise to keep the weight off? And during the questions she said twice that he looked like he "was lucky" with his weight and during the make up question the underlying assumption was that he was beautiful. She also had her arm around him, touched his hair, and picked up his leg so ddnt feel standoffish to me.

The troll- Elton never being out there with his fashion? HA

Adam is being Adam. He will never box himself into one character, LOL. And I don't want him to. He will keep people talking.

The pic- just fierce posing. Funny...not to be taken seriously.

Off to work.

LYNN- Wow! You covered a significant amount of ground in a couple of paragraphs. I need to learn how to do this.

I agree and would add that they reminded me of a borther and sister talking to each other. The end when they grab each other's hands and almost look like the are going to arm wrestle! LOL! I think that interview is adorable!

ITA with Chunkey, rihannasu and so many others. I was gone during the therapy session last night (boo!) and didn't see anything but playful vamping for camera as Adam has done with his friends for years and I didn't perceive anything snippy about Heidi's demeanor. She's a little stilted, perhaps, but seems like her personality. I did eyeroll the makeup question when she tweeted it because it's a beyond stale comment.

I did want to address THIS though:



I don't necessarily think Adam doesn't believe it. What he wore on stage in Russia and Canada show he knows he can rock some tight pants and clothes. But having lived in Hollywood in my late teens and early 20s, I know a bit of the way the culture plays with your head. I was 5'9" and weighed about 115-120 when I was in my Freshman to Junior years in college and used to dance several hours a day. I was in great shape (as opposed to now, lol) and used to get complimented quite a bit.

I knew A LOT of aspiring models and actresses and saw the same dynamic with them consistently. They were stunning, rail thin and often VERY INSECURE. The compliments become addictive to the point that if a day goes by that someone doesn't comment on how great you look, you begin doubting yourself.

Intellectually you KNOW you haven't changed since yesterday, but emotionally you compare yourself to others, etc. It's a major head game. (And no, just because you have a SO, etc. telling you so isn't going to erase that insecurity; they're like your mom, they have to say that )

I think 90 percent of Adam is the HBIC, fierce, confident man we see in every interview, photo, on stage ... but he will always have that 10 percent (which is probably vastly less than the general population, as evidenced by what people divulged last night) that either deflects the compliment or compares himself to others. That may never go away, but I really don't think he feels "insecure" for the most part, per se. Everyone has their moments, of course, but I think he does feel confident in his looks most of the time.

If he didn't, he wouldn't bring more attention to them by playing with all types of different looks and styles. He's amplifying, not hiding. If he wanted to just "blend in," he'd try to downplay his looks as much as possible, which we all know, he does not do.
