Adam Lambert addressed the issue of his sexuality in an interview with Rolling Stone: “I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay.” Bet you didn’t see that one coming, huh?

Lambert stated that American Idol bigwigs told him to keep mum about his sexual orientation until after the show was finished and that he had a crush Kris Allen, who he describes as being “the one guy I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty, and totally my type–except that he has a wife.”
