Are you freaking kidding me? Have some balls ABC - do you really think that Adam would do raunch and roll on a morning show? He was good enough to have on this summer - and he was a perfect gentleman. Way to show your cowardice - idiots!~

This article is the first official report I have read about the GMA cancellation; prior to this there was a ton of internet "rumor". IF this is true and it was GMA's doing based on compaints about his AMA performance it is downright sad and a travesty. I am still waiting to hear an explanation directly from Adam or his "people" as to the reason: maybe they requested the change. 1500 complaints out of millions of viewers is nothing. GMA will not know what hits them when Adam's fanbase hits them with thousands of complaints over thsi cancellation. Fans are travelling from the West coast to NY to see his performance!! I'll await an explanation from Adam before I sound off.

Adam's bandmate Tommy tweeted that it wasn't canceled. Don't be so quick to believe rumors.

No Way!! This is an extremely dumbass move by ABC/GMA! I know TONS of people who were going to watch just BECAUSE Adam Lambert was performing!! What kind of world are we living in?? It is no longer the USA but rather the USSR! Censorship of this kind is nothing short of UnAmerican! I will no longer tune into GMA either...I don't need their narrow-minded crap in my life! Get over it people, it was one damn performance! Damn!

Tommy has no clue. I have multiple friends who have called the Hudson Theatre and confirmed that Adam's performance there is CANCELED.

I hope he has been canceled. His "shock and Awe" performance had no awe!! Bad vocals and simulated sex on Primetime TV is not appropriate.

That's a shame but I saw this coming after Adam's performance at the AMA's. He's a newly discovered talent not established yet who decided to use the AMA's for a coming out performance. I think most people weren't upset over the kissing, but pulling a man in front of your crotch to insinuate oral sex was going too far. I just hope this is a blip and he will learn from his mistakes and go on to have a long career.

Adam wanted to be controversial, but that doesn't play in middle America over coffee. I'm not surprised. If he wants to do a Madonna/Britney thing he should wait until he's a household name. He ain't all that. Sorry, baby.

Dick Van Patten Releases His Memoir '80 Years In the Making' 2009/11/17
Posted: 11/24/2009
I read Eighty is Not Enough from cover to cover last week and loved it! Dick Van Patten offers readers a fascinating insight to his long and very interesting career from Broadway to Hollywood. I found it to be a wonderful read, with plenty of anecdotes and stories that add color to not only Mr Van Patten but many of the actors and co-stars with whom he worked over the years. Its an enjoyable read. I also saw his website http://www.dickvanpatten.net which has information on the book as well.

thanks abc for having the balls to stand up to lambert, american idol, 193 and rca in their force feeding of lambert upon the public... didja know they are so desperate to inflate his 1st week sales of his crappy album that they are giving it away for 99 cents on amazon, and other places across the web... lambert is a joke, and idol machine will do anything, pay anybody off to make it seem he's some big star. don't be fooled people. that author and commenters for not drinking the lambert and idol kool aid. soooo ready for this arrogant jerk to go away. and his nasty and obnoxious fans.

The most beautiful album I've ever heard. Susan Boyle has the voice of an angel when singing "How Great Thou Art" and I'm not ashamed to say I cry everytime I hear it. She puts so much love, faith and belief in this song about the Lord. It really fills you heart and soul with the most amazing feeling. Thank you Susan, for bringing out feelings in me I haven't felt since I was a child... Peace, Safety but most of all Love. I feel human again. All the best to you.

For those that havnt heard yet, the show will air on Sunday nights in the premium 10:00pm spot, starting February 14th. It has a good leadin with Big Love, and should get a good following right off the bat. So far everything that Mark Walhberg and Stephen Levinson touch turns to gold, so hopefully this will too.

Tommy is Adam's bass player, I think he probably has a clue or two. I am hoping it was just cancelled at the Hudson theater and that he will be out in the plaza where Rhianna was today. if not? then that's just sad. anyone who thinks that Adam would do on a morning show, the same thing he does on late night television is just plain stupid.

Damn. But did ABC really think he would pull a repeat of Sunday night's performance over coffee, or are they just trying to make a statement? Adam's a smart guy and I'm quite sure the performance he had planned for Wed. morning was quite different than the one for the AMA's. Sure wish he'd done something a little less in your face Sunday night though. I don't have a problem with him ripping the AI mantle from his body and torching it as he did, but I am sad that his voice did not shine through all the distraction of the theatricality. And now, all the controversy has cost him another opportunity. Well, buy the CD, people. It's very good, very fun and that voice does shine on through!!

Katie Finneran Steps in For An Ailing Kristin Chenoweth in LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I WORE, 11/18 2009/1
Posted: 11/24/2009
I saw Love, Loss and What I Wore on Sunday night (Nov 22) and was crushed when I saw in the program that Kristin Chenoweth would not be performing. However, let me just say that while I have no doubt that Kristin would have done a wonderful job, I was totally blown away by Katie Finneran, who replaced her that night. Her comedic timing was a thing of beauty and her moments of vulnerability so believable that I was totally sucked in. Kristin, I'm sorry you're sick. Katie, you're amazing.

I was there that unforgettable evening. Lea performed following a nice appearance by Jane Lynch and the cast of GLEE. Then President Obama spoke (22-minutes!) followed by Gavin Creel (put that video up too) and then... Lady GaGa! We all woke-up early the next morning for the National Equality March. Amazing!
