We’ve seen Adam Lambert looking sexy and cute, so why he’s hell-bent on turning himself into the gayest looking man alive is a mystery to us. This tweezed-to-death new look just screams SUPERQUEEN! And he looks 30 years older! We don’t know whether Adam is trying to steal Matt Damon’s role as Liberace’s lover, or he’s warming up for an appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race, but we’re hoping he comes to his senses.
The more we see of Prince William’s fiancee Kate Middleton, the more impressed we are. She appears to be a great natural beauty with a model’s figure. Even her hair seems to be all hers. Designers everywhere are salivating at the prospect of having her wear their creations. Given her royal future, Kate will have to give up her fishnets, sequins, and baseball caps. We were particularly amused to learn that the Queen officially announced the couples modern engagement on Facebook and the royal Twitter site.
Hollywood has been trying for years to get a movie about Queen singer Freddie Mercury made and the last we heard, Johnny Depp was front-runner for the role. Johnny would have been great, but we’re delighted to hear that Sacha Baron Cohen has landed the role! Actually Cohen bears the closest resemblance to Mercury, who was of Indian descent, and born in Zanzibar. And Sacha looks good in spandex, too. Robert DeNiro is one of the producers finally getting this show on the road. The script covers the band’s early formative years up to the magnificent Queen performance for Live Aid in 1985. Freddie died tragically of AIDS in 1991 but his health decline won’t be part of the film – it will end on a high note. Paramount got the rights to the best Queen songs so this will also be a feast for the ears.
Much fuss is being made over Adrian Grenier’s new short haircut. We think it does wonders for his eyes and updates his look. Besides, he plays an ACTOR on “Entourage” and real actors don’t have exactly the same haircut year after year – unless they’re not working! When Adrian saw the paparazzi coming, he handed his drink to his female companion.
Melanie Griffith was chatting with musician/actor Michael Des Barres (who seemed to be keeping a low profile with that scarf on his head) when she spotted the photographer and pointed him out. Michael has never been known to avoid a camera. Little known fact: Back in the 90’s after Freddie Mercury died, Michael was invited to take his place as lead singer with “Queen” but he turned the offer down, saying he wasn’t the right type.

Last year we were hearing all sorts of gossip about a Freddie Mercury bio movie that Robert DeNiro’s Tribeca Productions was set to produce. Freddie, the fabulously flamboyant lead singer of Queen who wrote most of their hits, died of AIDS in 1991. He was a fascinating rockstar with a propensity for spandex. Few people realized that he was an Indian born in Zanzibar who idolized Jimi Hendrix and Liza Minnelli. (Click here to watch him perform.) Johnny Depp was frontrunner to play Freddie in the movie and Sacha Baron Cohen was supposedly under consideration. Last we heard the script was being reworked. Who do you think should play the legendary Freddie Mercury?
