So now that American Idol star Adam Lambert's officially not Fox's golden champ, is he finally gonna start freely talking about his mysterious sexuality out in the open? Turns out, he already has say some:

Most Awful Celeb contestant Perez Hilton (who's holding pretty steady, mind you—look out, Octomom!) dished to us last night, postfinale at nightclub H.Wood, that the seemingly silent Ad's already out 'n' proud: "He's not in the closet. I went to a party he had last week, and he was openly gay with me there. If he was really concerned, he wouldn't have done that."

Perez states he also met "his boyfriend. Very cute. I think he works in fashion or design."

P.H.'s nemesis, Carrie Prejean, musta thrown her often shirtless back out jumping for joy during last night's finale—now gays in California can't marry or win American Idol. So how did Ad lose?

Is this rocket science? All the religious Gokey fans moved their votes over to the more "traditional" (read: safe) contestant once Danny was outta the picture. Think they were gonna let a gay (and Jewish, mind you) Idol reign supreme?

Please! Voting for a black president and a gay Idol just can't happen in the same six months; Americans don't progress that fast. But the worst of it? Southern pumpkin Kris Allen couldn't even bother to cry when they said his name. We were robbed of our first gay Idol winner and of a sob-worthy dramatic finish! Good riddance to this totally backward season, we say.
