Adam Lambert on Early Show: I'm Not a Babysitter
Turns out ABC had nothing to worry about. After all, it's hard to be raunchy when you can hardly move.
Adam Lambert managed to keep things pretty PG during his performance on CBS' The Early Show this morning, but there was really no way he could have sexualized his musicians and dancers when the stage was so teeny-tiny...and he had no dancers.
Still, the star said he has no intention of apologizing for his much-discussed performance at the American Music Awards and wants to get one thing straight: he and Elisabeth Shue don't have much in common.
For one thing, the American Idol runner-up is no babysitter.
"I'm not a babysitter. I'm a performer," he said.
He continued to discuss the "double standard" that exists between the reactions to him and other pop stars's performances Sunday night, listing Eminem's lyrics, Lady Gaga's antics and Janet Jackson's crotch-grabbing as arguably equally as shocking. He thinks his sexuality may have something to do with it.
Is Kristen Stewart the Next Maxim Cover Girl?
Ashley Greene is on this month's cover of Maxim, so could her Twilight costar Kristen Stewart be next in line? Maybe!
"I don't think you can forsee anything Kristen Stewart is gonna do, honestly," Ash said of her famous castmate last night while celebrating at Avenue. "She's very mysterious."
So what does the men's mag say about the possibilty of having K.Stew on the cover?
Sandra Bullock Gets a Chola Makeover
Usually when Sandra Bullock gets a makeover, it's to become a beauty queen or some sassy Southern mom saving lives. But on Lopez Tonight, George Lopez transformed America's Sweetheart into a chola, which is kinda weird, we know. Now we gotta watch more often. Does he do this to all his guests?
Naturally, Sandy B. rocked the Sharpie brows and lip liner because, lets face it, she can do anything.

Yes, but what do these famous people look like with no cosmetics? Find out in our Who's Cuter Without Makeup? gallery.
Roman Polanksi Granted Bail but Still in Jail
Sorry, Kirstie Alley. It seems the Free Roman Polanski Brigade has won out. Or has it?
A Swiss court today accepted the Oscar-winning filmmaker's $4.5 million cash bail deal that would allow him to leave a Zurich jail for house arrest and electronic monitoring at his Swiss chalet.
Naturally, Swiss authorities aren't so keen on the idea of letting their prize catch go, given his history of running from the law. Two previous requests by his attorneys were rejected outright.
This time, however, the price was right. But the 72-year-old won't be getting his Thanksgiving yet. The Justice Ministry says it will continue to keep The Pianist director in lockup while it considers whether to appeal the bail decision to Switzerland's highest court—officials have 10 days to decide whether to challenge his release.

Backstage at DWTS: Mya "Disappointed," Donny "Numb" and Judges In Shock
Attention, astronauts: If you see a huge beam of light coming from somewhere near Donny Osmond's house in Utah, be not afraid.
"I'm probably putting it on top of my house with a spotlight on it for all the world to see," Donny told us tonight of his shiny new disco ball trophy.
We hung out backstage after tonight's live season finale of Dancing With the Stars, where Donny was crowned the winner and was downright giddy.
"I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy right now!" he sang out. "I'm on cloud nine!"
And he wasn't the only one beaming...
Carrie Ann Inaba Trades Judges' Chair for Hospital Bed
Spending all season craning your neck over the judges' table is good for catching illegal lifts, but not so good on your already arthritic neck.
As Dancing With the Stars' prettiest judge (sorry, Bruno) practices the former and suffers from the latter, Carrie Ann Inaba will be undergoing the first of what may be several surgeries this morning in order to relieve the pressure caused by her spinal stenosis.
"I have arthritis," she told People. "The space around my spinal cord has become compressed. I have been locked. My neck was so stiff. We're hoping this procedure will relieve that.
"I'll be fine and if this surgery goes well, I may have another one in the future."
The curse spares no one, people.
And just like her show's dancers, who know from speedy recoveries, Inaba plans to be back on her feet in no time. Along with fellow cofounders Katie Holmes, Nigel Lythgoe and Adam Shankman, she plans to be in attendance at the Dizzy Feet Foundation's Celebration of Dance fund-raiser this Sunday in Los Angeles.

You don't have to be working on the dance floor to get injured. Just like you don't have to be a hot young thing to take home the disco ball trophy, right, Donny Osmond?
2010 Won't Be Beyoncé-Free
More Beyoncé? That's sweet dreams, indeed.
The "Irreplaceable" singer hasn't even caught her breath after her latest worldwide tour and she's already booking studio time.
Thanking those British fans who came out for the tour closer at Trent FM Arena in Nottingham, England, the Bootylicious One said: "This is our last show for this tour in the U.K, so hopefully, I'll see you all in a year with a new album."
The 28-year-old songbird is working with Grammy-winning songwriter-producer Rodney Jerkins, who reportedly helped pen several of the tracks. Her last album, 2008's I Am...Sasha Fierce, has sold more than 2.5 million copies in the U.S.
While she hasn't announced a release date for her follow-up, there is new Beyoncé music coming soon. She guests on Alicia Keys' The Element of Freedom, hitting stores Dec. 15.
Dancing With the Stars: A New Winner Raises the Disco Ball
Wait, Kathy Ireland was on this show? What the heck is Tom DeLay doing here?!
Oh right, the Dancing With the Stars finale is when a whole season's worth of contestants come out of the woodwork and remind the viewers just how right they were in casting these folks aside long ago.
With that behind them, Donny Osmond, Kelly Osbourne and Mya gathered tonight for one last spin around the floor and awaited to hear who would be bringing the illustrious disco ball trophy home for good.
Kelly danced the Viennese waltz more gracefully than ever; Mya brought new sharpness and confidence to her and Dmitry Chaplin's nerd-meets-seductress jive; and Donny performed his Argentine-tango ass off, somehow managing to look intense but not hammy.
But as Len Goodman said earlier, "There can be only one."
Party Patrol: Ashley Greene Vamps, Rihanna Parties
The first stop on tonight's soiree schedule is Maxim's bash for cover girl Ashley Greene at Avenue in New York City.
Avenue is same spot where I spotted Rob Pattinson and Kristin Stewart getting cozy last week, but we won't get a repeat performance tonight. Robsten has returned to L.A., so we'll have to make do without them. At least Chaske Spencer is in attendance, representing the New Moon wolf pack.
While Ashley doesn't arrive until an hour and a half past the start time, the guest of honor appears looking hot in a black cap-sleeve dress and rocking some cleavage.
The Twilight Saga's Alice Cullen tells me about her transformation from vampire to vamp for the mag's cover....

J.Lo's Ex: There's "Maybe One Spanking," but I'm Not Selling a Sex Tape
Ojani Noa says he's moved on since his brief marriage to Jennifer Lopez more than a decade ago.
Minus the 12-year-old home movies he's peddling and his desire to make a feature-length comedy that touches on their courtship, that is.
Noa, 35, has admitted to trying to sell footage of himself and Lopez from back in the day, but, he added, there is no graphic sexual activity on the video—and therefore no one should be making such a big deal about it.
"They think I have a sex tape with her and that I'm trying to sell it," Noa says in an exclusive interview with E! News. "My tape is from our honeymoon, the wedding, us hanging out. There's no nudity—maybe one spanking.
"There's moments of her fighting with her mom...couples having fun and kissing. If someone has a sex tape, it's not me."
Can Michael Lohan Go to Jail for Phone Call Leaks?
How can Michael Lohan keep leaking taped phone calls and not to go jail?
—Brandee, via the Answer B!tch inbox
Oh, he could go to jail, all right.
Michael Lohan—who has the dubious honor of both media whore and child-star pimp—has reportedly leaked telephone conversations he had with daughter Lindsay Lohan, ex-wife Dina and frenemy Jon Gosselin. Dina has reacted by calling Michael out as the scum he is, as has Lindsay, who prefers the term "loser."
And she's even asked her lawyer to look into all legal options, including criminal ones that could possibly land Michael in the slammer.
Here are the details...

See the First Three Minutes of House's Wilson-Centric Ep!
Fox's hit medical-mysteries series House is mixing it up next week, and you Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) fans are going to love the twist!
Instead of Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) being the lead investigator on a health crisis, sidekick James "Jim" Wilson is the man at the center of the show, and Celebrity Jeopardy! standout/The West Wing star Josh Malina plays the patient who Wilson must save.
As executive producer Katie Jacobs told us earlier this year, "We have this upcoming episode where House is to Wilson as Wilson is usually to House. Like he'll be in the middle of something and House will drop by, or he'll go see House in the middle of a differential diagnosis meeting, and we'll never even know what they were working on. I'm excited about it."
For an exclusive sneak peek video of Robert Sean Leonard's star turn, which airs Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. on Fox, press play above!
