    We don’t need another hero, but America certainly craves another pop idol. After all, the world would be a grim place without Ruben Studdard around.

    Adam Lambert hit rock bottom last week, or at least the bottom three, as America proved it is still incapable of voting with any sense of logic, mostly.

But Tarantino is less qualified than Paula Abdul to be dolling out advice to wannabe singers. Consider it stunt casting in order to boost the…

    And then there was Adam Lambert. From an early age he loved donning drag, so it only made sense that he would go onto be the shining star on “Idol.” And by god, Simon Cowell gave the boy a standing ovation along with the rest of us, basically summing up Lambert’s future on the show…
