ETA: Thanks, NoAngel. Poor guy. Stung by a horde of angry Glamberts. I was checking his @ replies both right after he posted and this morning and I think both he and Toby were greatly exaggerating the 'horde of angry glamberts'. There were two or three 'huh are you trying to start something?' comments, and several 'lol, no that's his boyfriend' ones, but not a pile-on IMHO. LOL, rabbit, I did exactly the same thing and it was FAR from a horde--I didn't see ONE angry or rude comment, just some corrections. Maybe it seemed like a lot of comments to him compared to other celebs he's tweeted about--but it was NOTHIN' by Glambert standards.  And Aleksandra, re your paid appearance questions, I can't imagine a club would require him to do anything but SHOW UP-- with whomever he wants -- and do whatever he wants. I can't believe anyone would tell him how much to drink or whether to "make out" or not. If they did, I'm sure he'd laugh his ass off. And there's no photographic evidence that he made out with Sauli last night, either. Tweeters SAID he did, but I'd like pic proof! ;D They'd been apart long enough, I'd think that'd come naturally.  ETA: Rabbit, what happened to your post? ??? |

I linked him to my post and he says that the GM told him it was not a paid appearance. Eh, who knows. Doesn't surprise me, I kind of think Adam would not necessarily be comfortable with those pay for show deals. I'm sure he probably did some when 19 was managing him but I would think he might see this more along the lines of supporting his community. The club gets the exposure from him being there and he gets the chance to test his songs. Kind of like when he said he didn't get paid for all those photo shoots and they were done for exposure. I honestly think he is a hot enough property that he could get paid for those shoots if he demanded it. I know with U2 if they interviewed with magazines and the photos were just candid shots no money changed hands but for more formal stylized shoots they did get something extra. A couple of the mags they did confirmed this. Do we think Adam went rogue with his songs? |

Are we thinking the awesome climb towards the top for BTIKM MV in the UK might be at least somewhat powered by curiosity on the part of UK fans with respect to "who is this guy that is playing with Queen?" And once they see that vid, well, resistance is futile. ;D  ;D ;D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D But Adam also did a lot of UK promo and ChartTV showed his GNT video.... so maybe a combination of them. ;D |

LOL I do notice these 'reporter' are very sensitive on twitter. Then they get defensive, say something nasty and start a storm. At one point I kind of thought TK and this guy were one & the same.....still wonder. On the other hand, I cannot believe after all this time the angry glamberts have not learned not to engage. I do think it is much, much better and therefore am surprised, but it get them more hits & RTs. I wonder if the papz/reporter vs fans scenarios like these play themselves out in every fandom... I am thinking that the "reporters" should be used to this stuff...Is there anything "special" in our reaction that other fandoms do not display? |

Twitter is a place infested with all sort of delusional culprit and twitterland itself become more colorful than the Paps. |

So there ya go. My take-- the celeb game is a business like any other. I'm sure Adam's club appearance was a paid venture, and getting seen/papped is part and parcel of it. Goes with the territory, and Adam (and we) are mostly lucky that he's a hoopla magnet and people care enough to put him in the gossip rags. As we know to our sorrow, Adam can stay under the radar and out of sight when he wants to. Last night wasn't one of those times. If it was the paid venture, which I believe as well, who determines the next: 1. who he goes with 2. if he's allowed to get waisted or not 3. the type of appearance (he played his music, right) 4. and to my utter horror, what he will serve the photographers with. I mean, did he make out w/ Sauli because he was paid to do so, to get photographed like that ? Pretty sure he just has to show up and be friendly. |

ETA: lol I deleted my early post because I realized that perceptions are pretty subjective. |
