Enjoying a shopping trip alongside his mother, Adam Lambert was spotted picking out outfits at SkinGraft Designs in Los Angeles on Thursday (June 11).

Checking out the shop’s selections, the former “American Idol” runner-up was also being filmed by 20/20 for an upcoming show.

Meanwhile, Adam recently took the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and he couldn’t be more excited.

In the June edition, Lambert finally put an end to all the rumors about his sexuality in the new issue, verifying that he is gay-and he has no regrets.

“I’m really happy with it. The cover looks great. It was great working with [photographer] Matthew Rolston,” Lambert said. “And the title – ‘The Liberation of Adam Lambert’ – I do feel liberated. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.”

Many people wanted Lambert to come out publicly sooner. “It’s not like I was holding back before,” he explained. “I was being myself, but it’s nice to have everything out in the open.”

And although he may have come in second, that didn’t hold him back at all. The 27-year-old has received a record deal to RCA Records this fall.

“I’m thrilled that we’ve come to a creative and collaborative partnership and look forward to developing a really exciting album,” Lambert said in a statement Tuesday. “We are 100 percent on the same page and are all anxiously awaiting the start of the recordings. It’s going to be ridiculous! Get ready!”

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert has inked a recording contract with RCA Recordings and will be working on a debut album – set for release this fall.

“I’m thrilled that we’ve come to a creative and collaborative partnership and look forward to developing a really exciting album,” the 27-year-old glam rocker said in a statement Tuesday. “We are 100 percent on the same page and are all anxiously awaiting the start of the recordings. It’s going to be ridiculous! Get Ready!!!”

Adam will record his album while on the road for this summer’s Idols Live Tour with the rest of this season’s Top 10 contestants.

“There are no longer any rules in terms of where the world’s next superstars may come from,” Barry Weiss, chairman of the RCA/JIVE label, remarked on the new signing. “We are thrilled to be getting involved with Adam Lambert as we all at RCA Records believe he is one of those rare, future global stars.”

Controversial American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is making headlines this week – and this time it has nothing to do with speculation surrounding his sexuality. The musical theater aficionado has become the talk of this year’s post-Idol publicity tour for how difficult he is to work with.

“He is such a diva. Rude to everyone – from fans right down to the lighting folks,” an insider told MSNBC’s The Scoop on Wednesday

“A-list celebrities have come through here and been infinitely more polite,” said another person who worked with Lambert during a stop in New York.

Adam will have to drop the divalicious ‘tude pronto, if he hopes to make a powerful impact on the charts in the future, says one music producer who asked not to be identified. “No one sells that many records these days to be able to get away with that kind of behavior. To be a success you need literally everyone in your corner.”

This season’s American Idol runner-up, glam rocker Adam Lambert, will finally put all the speculation over his sexuality to rest when he publicly “comes out” as gay in the next issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, The NY Post is reporting.

Hitting the talk show circuit, Adam Lambert was spotted paying a visit to “Live with Regis & Kelly” in New York City on Wednesday (May 27).

The “American Idol” runner-up got a big surprise upon arriving, as the show’s program director, Art Moore, just so happened to be dressed up in his likeness.

In related news, while Lambert is continuing his life of music, he also recently said that he would love to shift into the movie world.

Lambert spilled the news about his future, saying, “Obviously I’m concentrating on recording as opposed to movies, but I would love to go in that direction eventually. A lot of people mention the Elvis [Presley] connection and in the heyday of Hollywood, artists got to do everything. They did music and they did film. Something like that would be amazing.”

Meanwhile, Adam will be releasing his debut album within a year, and has even bigger dreams than the movies. He says he would also like to get involved with the former Guns ‘N’ Roses guitarist Slash.

“This guy is so rad,” said Adam. “Who knows? Maybe we’ll be able to record with him in the future. I would love that.”
