Adam admits gay rumors hurt

adamlmainAdam Lambert told Rolling Stone he'd like to have his first album out by the end of the year. What that album will sound like is still anyone's guess, however. He says it'll be a solo album, and not a Broadway album.
When Rolling Stone asked him about whether the speculation surrounding his sexual orientation, including basically being outed by Entertainment Weekly the week before the finals might have made a difference in the final vote, Lambert laughed and said “Probably.”
Lambert has never said one way or the other what his sexual orientation might be, but you still have to wonder how much it might have affected the final vote. During the year, his talent overwhelmed the judges and voters, but during the final two weeks of American Idol you get a lot more casual viewers tuning in for the big announcement. The way I saw it based on the previous votes, Adam could have beaten Kris or Danny. However, when he went to the final three against both of them, his fate was sealed. Supporters of Kris or Danny had already spent the last month talking about how their Idol favorite was better than Adam. Once Danny was out, it was a natural progression for his voters to embrace Kris. I'm not sure that I could blame his loss solely on the question of "Is America ready for a gay Idol?"

Jann Wenner

Jann Wenner changed rock and contemporary music coverage when he launched Rolling Stone magazine. His eye for talent, knack for business and passion for music has kept the magazine on the cutting edge for more than 40 years.

Born in New York City, Wenner was raised in Marin County, California. He began writing about rock in The Daily Californian at the University of California, Berkeley. Frustrated that the genre was not being taken seriously in the media, Wenner left college to start his own magazine.

In November 1967, Rolling Stone was launched with Wenner as cofounder and publisher. He described it as part magazine and part newspaper, with coverage of music, politics and culture.

Wenner conducted interviews with music icons and prominent politicians, including Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend, Mick Jagger, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Barack Obama, and John Lennon after the breakup of the Beatles.

Wenner emphasized on the visual content of Rolling Stone, with celebrities photographed by Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger and Richard Avedon. Wenner’s publications include Us Weekly and Men’s Journal. In 2007, the company grossed more than $33 million.

Wenner played himself in the film "Perfect" (1985) and a sports agent in "Jerry Maguire" (1996). He served as executive producer of MTV’s reality show "I’m From Rolling Stone."

In 1967, Wenner married a woman and had three sons. The couple separated in 1995. Wenner and his partner, fashion designer Matt Nye, have one son together.

In 1983, Wenner cofounded the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. He received its Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994. In 1997, he was inducted into the American Society of Magazine Editors Hall of Fame, making him the youngest honoree.
