UPDATE: Adam Lambert is no longer persona non grata at ABC. The network confirmed that the saucy singer will perform on The View next Thursday, a day after being feted as one of Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009.

Turns out GLAAD is pretty pissed.

In response to some confusion over what it's actual stance is on ABC nixing a total of three Adam Lambert performances following his racy prime-time showing at the American Music Awards, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has two words: Double standard.

"We appreciate ABC's commitment to gay and transgender inclusion in other programming," GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios said in a statement Friday, the alliance's third in two days.

"However, let us be clear that GLAAD remains steadfast in our assertion that Adam Lambert is being subjected to a double standard by ABC as an openly gay performer. We do not support ABC cancelling Adam Lambert's past and future performances. We urge the community to reach out to ABC and express their concerns that Adam Lambert is being subjected to a double standard."

We were in fact wondering why GLAAD, whose feathers are so easily ruffled, had seemingly accepted with ease ABC's assertion that it was axing Lambert from Jimmy Kimmel Live and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve because his AMA performance "differed greatly from his rehearsal."

Well, apparently GLAAD didn't accept anything. Which is not to say ABC is lying. But...Adam admitted that maybe he went "a little too far" and he tweeted that he's "goin in a new direction."

So why can't he help ring in the new year?

Hey, he's already got the body for it.

When the sun has set on The Twilight Saga, Taylor Lautner is going to head up Paramount's possible franchise-starting action flick Max Steel, based on the toys and animated TV series featuring an extreme-sports enthusiast who gets the jump on some bad guys and suffers an accident that leaves him a nanoprobe-ridden crime-fighting machine, E! News has confirmed.

Max's CGI-requiring capabilities include superstrength (obviously) and the ability to alter his appearance or turn invisible.

That's about all we know right now. The casting coup was first reported by Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood.

And so it turns out Taylor's not going to quit working out anytime soon. How disappointing.

• When Rihanna was asked what famous person she would most like to mute, she said Tila Tequila. Good answer, even though Tila barely qualifies as a famous person. Tila saw a chance to score some attention and wrote a long rambling blog post about some Rihanna rumor. Ri-Ri's bullet bra just might come in handy right now.

• Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have taken their self-promotion and annoying wink-wink twittermancing to new levels. Awww or barf?

• So Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift have no sexual chemistry, the body-language expert says so. They're never wrong, and paparazzi photos always tell the whole story.

• Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood are back together. Gross.

• Portia de Rossi talked to The View ladies about gay marriage, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck managed to keep her head from exploding.

Jaimee Grubbs, the only girl to admit to having an affair with Tiger Woods and also share his puny calf complex with the world, participated in a Nov. 8  professional photo shoot in Los Angeles. The elegant results are here (to your left). But now we're hearing Grubbs likes to dabble in DIY topless photo sessions as well.

Shocker, we know. RadarOnline reports that there are at least four nude photos floating around, but sources tell E! News that tons more exist. She sent them to a post-Tiger hookup who is allegedly looking to sell the photos soon. "He's had crazy bids so far," our source adds.

While we don't know if Grubbs sent Tiger raunchy photos, given the X-rated texting going on between the two, it wouldn't surprise us. Plus, it's like Rihanna said, "If you don't send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him."

Tom Brokaw is counting his blessings tonight.

Earlier Friday, the veteran NBC newsman and his wife, Meredith, escaped uninjured from a three-car smashup in the Bronx that left one woman dead.

According to a statement released by the couple, they were in the far left lane on the Bruckner Expressway when the driver of a green SUV, trying to avoid a spool of cable running loose in the right lane, lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane, forcing a mail truck into the Brokaws' path.

"As the mail truck careened into the Brokaw lane, Tom hit the brakes hard and skidded along the median. When the mail truck catapulted the median the Brokaw vehicle slid into it," the statement read.

"Neither Tom nor Meredith were injured but tragically the driver of the SUV was thrown from her vehicle and killed. Tom and Meredith are greatly saddened by this loss of life."

The SUV had plunged off the highway to the ground below, according to the FDNY, which said that another man was taken by ambulance to the hospital with serious injuries.

Katt Williams needs a hobby that doesn't involve law enforcement.

After having been arrested at least three times in the last three years, the otherwise-quite-successful comedian upped the ante and has been arrested two times in the last two months.

And that doesn't include being detained for questioning at a Wal-Mart in Newnan, Ga., today.

Per TMZ, Williams, who's facing burglary and trespassing charges for what he has called a mixup between him and "two stupid detectives," was arrested earlier this week over an issue with his bond.

He posted $41,150 bail last month after being accused of breaking into his friend's guest house and stealing cash and rare coins.

Today, however, Williams got off without seeing the inside of a jail.

There will be diapers for Maya Rudolph.

The former Saturday Night Live player and her filmmaker beau Paul Thomas Anderson welcomed their second child together Nov. 6, a daughter named Lucille, People reported Friday.

Rudolph and Anderson, a five-time Oscar nominee for writing, directing and producing, are also parents to 4-year-old daughter Pearl.

They revealed in May that they were expecting again, right around the time Rudolph was playing pregnant in Away We Go with John Krasinski.

"I feel like everyone who has had more then one [child], says you should do it," she said in an interview with ET Canada. "It's nice to have this experience."

It doesn't get much more wholesome than this.

Proving that they are in fact the antidote to oversexed, oddly tatted teen stars, Taylors Swift and Lautner continued their campaign of low-key and PG canoodling last night, cozying up on—and OMG off!—set.

While, save for the odd trip to the hockey rink, the only lovey-dovey Tay-Squared sightings we're normally privy to take place in front of the Valentine's Day cameras, last night was apparently date night for the dynamic duo.

Fresh off of dominating the Grammy nominations and box office, respectively, the couple started the day by filming a few more scenes for their star-studded romantic comedy before leaving the set together in Lautner's no doubt New Moon-funded gray Porsche Turbo.

They wasted no time in getting their hibachi on, dining at nearby Japanese fave Benihana before making their way, parental entourage in tow, to the nearby Menchie's. While there, the Taylors, along with Swift's mother and bodyguard, all dug into some self-serve frozen yogurt, but not before taking time to pose with fans.

It's so sweet, you could get a cavity just thinking about it.
