Adam Lambert on Boyfriend: "It's Going Really Well"

American Idol runner-up says touring not getting in the way of his romance with Drake LaBry

Adam Lambert may be spending more time on the road these days than with boyfriend Drake LaBry, but not to worry...they're still going strong, thank you very much.

"It's going really well," says Lambert, 27. "It's just fine. We're dealing with [being apart] just fine."

That, of course, doesn't mean he wouldn't like to spend some more time with the 24-year-old LaBry...

"I'm excited for the future...when I'm in L.A. for more than, you know, a day," Adam continues. "It'll be nice."

Meanwhile, Adam's also shooting down a bogus supermarket tabloid story claiming he lashed out at a fan for—ready for this?—smudging his nail polish.

"That's not true at all," he says. "That never happened. Oh my god, I love it! I love how they always go with a 'very reliable source,' 'a close friend of Adam.' I'm like, 'Who?' "

"That's hilarious," he continues. "What's really funny is, if I indeed painted my nails that day, it wouldn't have been at the time when we meet and greet fans...We get ready before the show and we meet fans like a half an hour after that, so that doesn't make any sense."
