Adam Lambert Q&A: Gaga "Down to Earth"; Gene Simmons "A Dick"

Rolling Stone's new Q&A with Adam Lambert reveals a few more details about his forthcoming album, For Your Entertainment.

On the campy album artwork:

But that's what I was like when I was on Idol! When I did 'Ring of Fire,' that was pretty camp, so I don't understand why the cover is a surprise. People are forgetting me at my wildest--with platform boots and rhinestones around my eyes. Is the album cover that much of a departure?

On Gene Simmons sucking:

Gene Simmons spouted something, that he thought I'd ruined my career by coming out. He's obnoxious, and what a hypocrite--all he talks about is his sex life. He was being a dick--and he's not the greatest singer. I guess he's a good businessman, I'll give him that.

On his favorite songs:

Goldfrapp's Supernature was on heavy rotation for, like, a year. It's electronic, but it has an organic, psychedelic feel to it. When I heard they were working with Christina Aguilera, I was like, aww, she beat me to it.

On working with Gaga:

Even though she seems super-eccentric and out there, as a person, she's really down-to-earth--very New York. The song was a demo of hers from three or four years ago. At the end of the session, we had a drink--and then recorded more after some whiskey. The song captures us partying.

We haven't been totally blown away by his first couple of tracks--from the 2012 soundtrack and the title album track, "For Your Entertainment"--but we still love Adam Lambert for his vocal prowess, style, and oozy sexuality. And we are SO looking forward to the Gaga collab!

Yup, He's A Model: Rusty Joiner

Hey, remember Structure, before it was Express Men? Rusty was one of their models.

Here's his Wiki profile, or you can go straight to his Web site if you want to book him.

Rusty Joiner (born December 11, 1972) is an American male supermodel, fitness model and actor.

Born in Montgomery, Alabama and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Joiner attended Georgia Southern University, where he was a successful athlete, cheerleader, and gymnast for four years. He was discovered by a model scout in Atlanta and spent the next several years modelling in Milan, Paris, and South America. He became well-known in the fashion industry very quickly and modelled for Prada, Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, Levi's, Excedrin and Powerade. Joiner was the official underwear model for Structure from 1998 to 2000. He has appeared on the covers and pages of Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Rolling Stone and Men's Fitness. Joiner also appeared in RuPaul's video Looking Good, Feeling Gorgeous. The February 2005 Men's Fitness cover was his eleventh for the magazine in five years.

Zac Efron's Hot Abs

OK, so we're confused. Zac Efron sometimes looks like a robot used by cosmetology students to test out new pink blushes and lipsticks, and sometimes (OK, just in this Rolling Stone cover shot) he looks like this. [source]

Is this one destined to be a classic? Discuss.
