Melissa Etheridge predicted something like this might happen.

She spoke as if she were reading a crystal ball when we chatted at the American Music Awards before Adam Lambert's controversial sex-charged performance.

We asked Ms. Etheridge what advice she'd give to the out and proud 27-year-old glam rock Idol star. Little did we know that her well-seasoned words were a foreshadowing of things to come later that night...

Kellan Lutz isn't too worried about the discovery of a photo of him and Peter Facinelli holding hands.

"That one is fine," Lutz told me with a laugh at the New Moon premiere. "It's the naked one of us in the bubble bath that would really get us into trouble."

If only Mr. Lutz was serious. But obviously, he's not...

Alec Baldwin may have admitted to my pals over at Entertainment Weekly that he used an "ass double" for a naked scene in It's Complicated, his upcoming flick with Meryl Streep, but he should know there are people out there who would like to see the real thing.

Like 30 Rock's new hunkster Cheyenne Jackson.

"I'd look at that," Jackson, a Broadway musical star who makes his debut on the NBC comedy tonight as TGS' new castmember Danny Blake, tells me. "Alec Baldwin is incredibly sexy. He's an alpha male."

That doesn't mean the openly gay Jackson wants Baldwin in a biblical sense…

Tom Ford is giving it up.

In what is probably his most revealing interview, the former Gucci designer didn't hold back when talking to writer Kevin Sessums for his new Advocate cover story.

First up, Ford's battle with depression. He says he had a serious midlife crisis when he turned 40.

"I have always struggled throughout my life with depression," Ford, now 48, says. "I've never made any of this public because…well…I'm not one to wear any of this on my sleeve. When someone would come into my office in the morning and ask me how I was I'd always go, 'I'm great! I'm great!' But I wasn't great."

Also not great? Not being able to marry his longtime partner Richard Buckley…

It's good to know that Derek Hough can laugh at all those rumors that he's gay.

So much so that he was thisclose to playing a gay character "in a funny little scene" with Courteney Cox on her new hit ABC series Cougar Town. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it because of his Dancing With the Stars schedule.

"It would have been perfect," Hough said. "With all the rumors going around, I thought it would be really funny because it's just not true. But I was like, you know what? If that's what you want to see."

Not so funny, however, was Hough's recent battle with the flu...

Kissing Hayden Panettiere on Heroes didn't come as a complete shock to Madeline Zima.

"I had an inkling," Zima told us yesterday at Hollywood Life's Hollywood Style Awards at the Armand Hammer Museum in L.A. "I did always play my character a little bit with some kind of secret—whether it was that or something else still remains to be seen."

So what was it like locking lips with Claire-Bear on the episode airing tonight? Mostly business as usual...
