NEW YORK, New York -- Adam Lambert might have been edited by the American Music Awards and canceled on by "Good Morning America," but he has a champion in Rosie O'Donnell.

"There's a triple standard, not only women, but gay people," Rosie told Access Hollywood Monday night at her Broadway Extravaganza at the Palace Theatre in New York City, referring to the controversy surrounding his AMA performance on Sunday, which was edited for the west coast feed of the awards show.

"He's an out gay man and he's out in the world. He's allowed to be as flamboyant as he wants to be," Rosie continued. "I'm proud of him and I think he's a very talented guy."

Despite receiving some flack for the musical elements of his headline-making performance, Rosie thinks the "American Idol" season eight runner-up will go far.

"I think he's going to have a huge career," Rosie told Access. "And I thought [his AMA performance] was fantastic."

    FLAMBOYANT: Elton John, Liberace, Tom Jones, Cher. I cant see them stuffing someone's face in their crotch. Class vs. Ass, that's all.

    rob, suppose your little tantrum is ok for kids to view. No, violence won't harm them more than watching two people of the same sex kiss. Therein lies the whole hypocrisy of your "argument"

    Stinky Stinky Stinky!!!!!!!!!!! No one: straight...gay...bi..has the right to do ANYTHING they want. If it is offensive, then it's offensive. And it was! I was tuned in for the music, not his commentary on gay sex. If that's what I had wanted, I would have been watching PORN. Shut up Rosie! Stop pushing your agenda on the rest of the world.

    I don't mind the gay community but they can be annoying as hell sometimes.
