Glamberts Shell Out For Advocate Cover
We've known Adam Lambert has coverboy potential since his June 2009 Rolling Stone debut, but this month's issue of The Advocate has sent fans to new levels of mania. The November issue, which features Lambert with purple-black hair, trademark eyeliner and flawless skin (is it MAC, or Photoshop?) is selling for $20 an issue on the streets of Chelsea, and has reached even higher prices on eBay.
Rich, a man who hung posters throughout Chelsea on Monday offering to pay $20 for the magazine, has gotten plenty of offers, and just as many homophobic phone calls. In an interview with DNAinfo.com, he clarifies that he is "definitely not an Adam Lambert fan," but is collecting the issues for a family friend who is part of a clutch of Glamberts in Japan. So far, bids for a single issue on eBay have climbed to $61, with a Buy-It-Now option of $150.
Since The Advocate (Out's sister publication) is a subscription-only magazine, Glamberts may have to go to great lengths to secure their copies. All the more reason to get yourselves a subscription—did we mention you can get Out and The Advocate delivered to your door all year for a paltry $25? Consider it mentioned.

Colwel Platinum Entertainment (Malcolm Welsford’s company) has filed a suit in US Federal court against Adam claiming:
• Adam violated the Idol rules (this is just nonsense because Colwel Platinum and/or “Mr.” Welsford have no interest in this matter.)
[This is just throwing rotten tomatoes.]
• Copyright violation by Adam Lambert: Lambert allegedly uploaded four of those 13 songs to his MySpace page without authorization of the publishing company.
[OMG he did what??? Uploaded songs he co-wrote to a My Space page. OMG OMG OMG.
]• Colwel Platinum is suing Lambert for making a false claim under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act: "Upon information and belief, Lambert, through his authorized agent and representative, knowingly materially misrepresented to Amazon.com in the 'takedown notice' that Amazon's promotion and sale of the Album infringe Lambert's rights."
[Translation -- they want to release BFM.]
What does Colwel Platinum want? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
From the filing:
• The plaintiff also is seeking declaratory relief that it owns a 50% publishing share of the recordings, that it has an unconditional right to promote and sell the recordings, that neither the Music Services Agreement nor the Co-Publishing Agreement was validly rescinded, and that these agreements remain in effect.
What I think….
• Adam will be fine. They can tie this up for years.
• Welsford has played all his cards. After this he can crawl back into his hole.
• NO ADAM FANS will buy this album if it is ever released NO MATTER HOW THEY PACKAGE IT.
• Oh yeah, and Monte is a dead man to me! DEAD.
Here is more detailed info from The Hollywood Reporter.
Lawsuit Alleges Adam Lambert Broke 'American Idol' Rules
by Eriq Gardner, The Hollywood Reporter | November 04, 2011 8:11 EDT
A new lawsuit suggests that Adam Lambert may have violated the rules of "American Idol" when he agreed to appear on the eighth season of the hit reality competition show.
The singer is now facing a lawsuit that alleges that he's still under a Music Services Agreement and a Co-publishing Agreement from a company he worked with prior to hitting it big on "Idol," and that he has violated the company's rights in his mega-selling post-Idol career.
The claims come from Colwel Platinum Entertainment, which has been marketing a new Lambert album entitled "Beg For Mercy."
The appearance of the new album has generated such discussion among Lambert fans that on October 6, Lambert felt the need to tweet: "'Beg For Mercy' project is same as 'Take One'. some songs I worked on 5 yrs ago and never finished. This release comes as a surprise to me…"
Lambert's reps sent takedown notices to Amazon.com, which had the album up for sale, and on October 14, the album was removed for sale.
Now Colwel Platinum is striking back in a lawsuit filed in California federal court on Tuesday.
The complaint sets up the allegations by introducing Lambert as a relatively unknown artist who hit it big in 2009 when he finished as runner-up on the Fox competition show.
Lambert auditioned for the show in 2008. According to the complaint:
"Upon further information and belief, the rules governing appearances on and participation in American Idol when Lambert was a contestant provided, among other things, that contestants were ineligible if 'as of the date of [the] audition, [they had]...a music recording contract...or any other contractual arrangement that would prohibit [them] from entering into a...recording contract..." A violation of this provision was grounds for disqualification."
Lambert accepted these rules, but according to Colwel, Lambert had an operating agreement with one of its divisions, Welsford Music Productions.
According to the lawsuit, between April 2007 and September 2008, Lambert performed compositions that he had written, alone and with others, for Welsford.
On February 12, 2008, a few months before he attended auditions for Idol, Lambert is said to have executed a Music Services Agreement with Welsford. Around the same time, Lambert is alleged to have entered into a Co-Publishing Agreement with Wilshire Publishing Limited.
As a condition of these agreements, Lambert allegedly agreed to record music and "without limitation...[render] all other services reasonably required."
Welsford says Lambert got paid for his work, agreed that the material would be "works made for hire," and that Welsford would have the right to use his name, nickname and biography in connection with advertising and promoting the recordings.
The company says it spent more than $200,000 to produce the recordings and advanced money to Lambert so he could make his living expenses at the time.
Lambert is said to have recorded 13 songs, including one that was ironically titled "MP3's Killed the Record Companies." Lambert allegedly uploaded four of those 13 songs to his MySpace page without authorization of the publishing company.
In July 2011, several years after the original recording session and when Lambert had suddenly become famous, Welsford says it began the final stages of preparing to release the album. Now, having put the album out only to see it taken down, Colwel Platinum is suing Lambert for making a false claim under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act:
"Upon information and belief, Lambert, through his authorized agent and representative, knowingly materially misrepresented to Amazon.com in the 'takedown notice' that Amazon's promotion and sale of the Album infringe Lambert's rights."
The plaintiff also is seeking declaratory relief that it owns a 50% publishing share of the recordings, that it has an unconditional right to promote and sell the recordings, that neither the Music Services Agreement nor the Co-Publishing Agreement was validly rescinded, and that these agreements remain in effect.
Colwel is represented by Joseph Golden.
Lambert and his reps did not respond to requests for comment. A rep for Idol said "no comment."
