Adam Lambert: Dating? No. Clubbing? Yes!
Josephine Santos, PacificCoastNews.com
Adam Lambert and his boyfriend, Drake LaBry, may have recently called it quits, but that doesn't mean the singer is on the market.
"I'm so busy with all this stuff and with the record that I'm really just focused on the music right now," Lambert told us last night at TV Guide magazine's Hot List Party at the SLS Hotel.
Not that he doesn't enjoy having a good time. Lambert was spotted after the TV Guide bash hanging at Hollywood's Bardot nightclub. In addition to chatting with Samantha Ronson, I'm told he appeared quite cozy with "a blond model-like guy in his thirties."
OK, now we can talk about the music...

Kris Allen says there's no need to worry about Adam Lambert after his split from boyfriend Drake LaBry.
"He's doing good," the American Idol winner, 24, told us yesterday at the People's Choice Awards nominations announcement. "He's obviously not completely happy about it, but I think it was just something that needed to happen."
As for any competition brewing between Allen and Lambert...

Aaron Carter didn't exactly get spanked by Karina Smirnoff because he's lacking in the Twilight appreciation department, but she did give him a good talkin'.
Earlier this week, Carter got a lot of flack from Twi fans because not only didn't he do cartwheels for being compared to Robert Pattinson on Dancing With the Stars, but he admitted he still hadn't seen Twilight.
"I told Aaron, 'Don't put that out there. What if Rob does the next season of Dancing With the Stars?! I want him to come and dance,' " laughed Smirnoff.
As a little extra incentive for Pattinson, Smirnoff said she plans to watch Twilight with Carter as soon as the season is over. "Then we're going to tweet about Rob's great performance," she told us last night at the Genlux, Ford Models and Madison Kelly fashion party in Beverly Hills.
While we love our DWTS, we can't imagine Rob will be signing up for the show anytime soon.
Besides, Smirnoff isn't exactly lacking in the romance department…

If anyone out there is still holding out hope that Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff will get back together, there's probably a better chance of seeing Tom DeLay doing a jive on next week's Dancing With the Stars.
It just ain't happenin', folks!
Maks made that pretty clear when we caught up with him at last night's Free the Slaves Freedom Awards at the University of Southern California's Bovard Auditorium in L.A.

Listen up, gentlemen! Audrina Patridge is available.
She and Aussie BMX racer Corey Bohan's two-month romance is dunzo.
"Yes, she is single," Patridge's rep tells me.
This isn't the first time Audrina and Corey have broken up. They briefly dated in 2008, and he even appeared in four episodes of The Hills before they reunited this summer. No word on what did them in this time around.
Patridge, 24, was solo at last night's Auto Club Speedway's Pepsi 500 party at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, where she talked about her final days on The Hills…

Talk about uncomfortable situations!
Dancing With the Stars professional hoofer Edyta Sliwinska says she's not looking forward to being on set with Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff when the new season kicks off later this month.
"It's going to be kind of awkward to work with them, because we all have to be in the same environment and very often in the same room or even sitting next to each other on the same couch," Sliwinska told us this week when she and her celeb partner, Ashley Hamilton, stopped by the 9Planet Universe event in Los Angeles.
"It'll be awkward because I'm friends with both of them."
In fact, Sliwinska saw Chmerkovskiy just the other day…

Jessica Simpson is sporting a new diamond ring today.
No, she and Tony Romo haven't reconciled with an engagement.
Ms. Simpson hit a listening party in Hollywood last night for An-Ya, a Russian pop singer signed to Joe Simpson's music label. Before the night was over, Jessica walked away with a $10,000 5-carat ring from party host jewelry designer Pascal Mouawad's Black and White Diamond Collection.
"If you didn't already know Jessica just went through a breakup, you really would have no way of telling from the way she was behaving at the event," an eyewitness reported. "She really seemed happy."
While Jessica refused to do media at the soiree, Papa Joe gave us an update on his unlucky-in-love offspring.
