Adam Lambert’s sexy photo shoot for Details


It’s a testament to the sheer mainstream power of American Idol that a gay man with an unabashed affection for eyeliner and nail polish has emerged from this year’s competition as a new American sex symbol. “I think it’s beautiful,” Lambert says. “That’s the way it should be. It shouldn’t matter what a person’s sexual preference is—it doesn’t change their appeal.”
In the end, Americans of every persuasion proved defenseless against Lambert’s vigorous pelvic exertions. “When I’m onstage,” he says, “there’s definitely a sexual energy that goes into it.” Indeed, he gyrated his way through performances like Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” with a libidinous abandon that’s rarely seen on prime-time network television. Moral Majority types found his style scandalous, but Lambert offers no apologies.
“I have no problem telling people, ‘You know what? I’m not your babysitter, and I’m not your church,'” he says. “They go, ‘Jesus loves you, too.’ One time I just blurted out, ‘I’m Jewish, okay? I don’t need another crucifix! This is not an appropriate gift for me!'” He laughs. “I know people are coming from a good place, but it can be offensive. Like, ‘Thank you, I’m not Christian! I don’t read that book.'”
