Gossip Sucker

Even though it really is no secret that Adam Lambert is gay, “American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi has let the cat officially out of the bag.

I’m not sure why Adam feels the need to have people “speculating”, but DioGuardi wasn’t aware that it was some big secret.

When DioGuardi was asked by Barbara Walters whether or not Lambert’s sexuality may have influenced the voting audience of “American Idol”, she said, “Well, first of all, I hope not….because we should be judiging on talent and viability in the music industry and they both had that.”

She added, “I don’t think that Adam was ever in [the closet]. I think he was always openly out.”

I agree, given that the picture above was released while he was still in the competition.

Yes, next season, all of the judges will remain the same. Contrary to popular belief, the new fourth judge, Kara DioGuardi will also be returning to the show’s next season.

It was rumored that one of them would be leaving the show, but he says he’ll back for at least one more season.

When asked if he’d back back it 2010, he said, “Yeah. It’s been…the best eight or nine years of my life. I’ve had the best time, there’s nothing to complain about, we’ve got on really well.”

When also asked about DioGuardi, he said, “I’ve got to know Kara now and I like her…She’s cute.”

To stick the final nail in the coffin, he confirms that all of the judges will be returning next season. He adds, “Everyone’s going to be back. Absolutely.”
