    Imagine if you will, Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga driving across the country together. If they were to stop at a roadside diner somewhere on old Route 66 in bumfuck Arizona, the patrons would be fascinated.

    @Magister: I lead cross country trips for a living and on everyone of our tours in the Southwest we stop in a little, funky, Americana town on Route 66. There's a cafe there that I always have my passengers eat at (because I get comped) that is run by two of the most local yokel guys you'll ever meet. No one ever believes me when I tell them that the guys are together. (They have no problem believing that they also sell great weed.)

    @twoeightnine: That's why I chose old Route 66 and bumfuck Arizona; The locals would definitely talk about them after they're gone, but while they are there, Gaga-Lambert would get nothing worse than sideways glances because they're so damn fascinating.

    I've said it before on this site and I'll say it again, the largest single block of ad money in the world goes to Television. And not by a small margin. TV remains the most effective way to reach your market in a measurable way; ad airs, sales go up. Not like with the web and all its fuzzy bullshit metrics.

    I really hope the kid's fifteen minutes can go another five for the sake of everyone so invested, but I don't find the fact that he'll be on a show partially-owned by Barbara Walters to promote a Barbara Walters-owned, Barbara Walters Special, all that surprising.

    ETA: ...or maybe it's fascinating?

    In reply to GLAAD-Handed, Castle-Storming Adam Lambert to Come on The View
    Lambert seriously strikes me as attempting to be "spokesperson of the gheighs", when in fact he seems to me to be the least attractive candidate for this position. It seems that he can't decide which way to play his sexuality so that it gets the most publicity. Then when he hears "gay it up a little" from the blogs, he interprets that as "face-hump a dude on a network television awards show and piss off a whole bunch of people". Go away, please, Adam, you're making the rest of us look like fameballing twatwaffles by association.

    @seyswho: Or you could just mumble "Adam who?" every time someone brings him up. That's my approach, having never knowingly heard one of his songs.

    I doubt his shiny star will last very long in any case.

    @seyswho: I don't think he's trying to be a spokesperson for gays. He's trying to become a popular performer who is also gay. And that's precisely why GLAAD isn't mounting a stronger defense. They want him to be more political.

    He's not acting as a group advocate but as a group member. Instead of message points, he wants the freedom to express himself however he wants. Of course, that's the stated goal of gay equality, so in the long-term, he's doing more for gays than GLAAD. But now, he seems politically awkward and embarrassing.

    @FlowChart: Good points, that makes a lot of sense. It just seems like he can't find his sexuality "groove" - like he's trying too hard to be liked by everyone (when that will never happen), and in turn he's creating the exact opposite effect. Of course, really, all of this would probably be a moot point if he could just sing and perform worth a damn.

    The catfight that breaks out between Lambert and Elizabeth Hasselbeck should be worth the time wasted to watch the show.

    @Lysergic Asset: Are all us gays obligated to watch that show now that GLAAD got him on (or whatever they did ... or more likely didn't do)?

    Damn. Guess that means I have to go out and buy a TV now. Being a gay is so hard!

    PS - If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Glambert for that one, even though Hasselbeck did eat nothing but algae and lillypads in Australia for a month a few years ago.

    @Nigerian Business Executive: Ha! As a not gay ("straight but not narrow") woman, I don't know about the gay obligation factor. I think it's a lot of pressure to put on someone so relatively young and emotionally volatile: Adam Lambert, you are hereby anointed the herald of the homos... it's a really delicate balancing act. I hope he pulls it off.

    Also: I could not possibly think any less of Hasselbeck, so I hope he wipes the floor with her and her retro 1950's housewife prejudices.

    Ugly Betty, Modern Family , Grey's Anatomy, Brothers & Sisters and Susan Lucci's daughter-character on All My Children, along with if you want to go historically, the original Ellen and Rosanne.
