LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans

Adam Lambert Is Not Your Gay Poster Child!: Adam Lambert doesn't appear to be too happy with his new status as gay America's leading man. "I don't want to be a gay poster child, but I am by default, because there aren't that many," he told USA Today. "Like it or not, it's projected on me. I'm not saying, 'Do what I do.' I say, 'Do what you do.'" Adam got into a recent spat on Twitter with Out magazine editor-in-chief Aaron Hicklin over agreeing to appear on the cover of their Out 100 issue. We think the excessive use of glitter, guy-liner and non-stop screeching could be perceived as begging to differ about that gay poster child label.

WTF! OME Is The OMG?: The AccessHollywood.com staff has been inundated with Twi-lingo from our devoted Twi-Hard readers. Messages from fans filled with lingo like, OME (Oh my Edward), OCD (Obsessive Cullen disorder) and PSD (Post saga depression) have been filling out inboxes. We'd like to suggest OMJ (Oh my Jacob), WWECD? (What would Edward Cullen do?) ROTFWEC (Rolling on the floor with Edward Cullen) - and our favorite - WTF (What the fang!) to also be introduced into the Twi-nacular.

Is Depp Really The 'Sexiest': People named Johnny Depp 2009's "The Sexiest Man Alive," but we couldn't help but wonder... with only one movie released in 2009, "Public Enemies" (which nobody saw!) and "Twilight" mania sweeping the globe - shouldn't Robert Pattinson have been given the crown? Let your voice be heard! Tell us if you agree with Johnny's honor on AH Nation!

    Nor should it you. As far as everything els goes he seems like a good guy just trying to make it in this world like everyone els, cut him a little slack and get on with your lives. When it boils down to it hes still going to be famous from here on out might as well stick him in one catigory (musicly) and be done with it.

    Now I have only listened to 3 of his latest and based on that is where I make my dessiosion that he is a very talented "pop star" but I have yet to hear him blow me away with any good heavy rock ballads Like he could have the potential for but as far as that goes I dont care if hes gay, dont care if hes "the son of M.J.", hes no one personaly in my life so it

    Forget about the fact that hes gay for a second, I knew he was gay before he even came out. Not a big surprise, Now I'm half and half an Adam fan And I will tell you why. His music, I give him credit.. he is talented and it shows, but his image is goth/punk claims he is a "rock star". But his music just doesnt sound like rock to me sounds more like a female pop star shou

    Offensive. You say he is a loser and lacks what it takes to be a celebrity; yet he is one. Are you a celebrity? No, I don't think so, Kinky...lol So I believe you are the one that lacks in that department. Stop worrying about everyone else's lives and live your own. I'm sure you've been judged several times in your life for who you are and what you stand for. Stop b

    That's pretty ignorant of you to compare him to 'gays in your area'. That's just the same as someone stereotyping females or heterosexuals in their areas saying that YOU shouldn't act or think the way YOU do because the people LIKE YOU in their area behave differently. We are who we are and have every right to be that way. Before you type what you think, THI

    He is being himself and catching hell for it. If you don't like it, don't be a fan. It won't cripple him to have one or two less fans. He has plenty more who realize how talented and deserving he is of his fame. You are not God and your opinion doesn't matter. Who are you to judge? No one. Quit wasting time bashing people who aren't like you and have their o

    Just because Adam is proud of being gay doesn't mean that he wants to only be known as a celebrity gay man. He wants to be known for his talent. He is extremely talented and just because you had to "google" him doesn't mean that he's not well known, it means that you don't watch American Idol. It makes no difference what you think about him. He car

    this young man has done this to himself. No one cares if he is gay or not. But from what I have seen in our area~~~~gays don't need to act like deliquents. They don't bring a lot of attention to themselves. They act like pleasant, normal working, people. I hope he is happy with himself and acting the way he does. It just turns some people off to where they don't want
