Adam Lambert Will Sing Lady Gaga's 'Applause' On Upcoming 'Glee' Episode

You Glamberts better put your hands up, and make 'em touch because the "American Idol" alum is coming to "Glee" and he's ready to blast some Lady Gaga on the McKinley High students.
That's right everyone, gay worlds are colliding as Adam Lambert is set to guest star on the fourth episode of the upcoming season of "Glee" and will perform Gaga's latest single, "Applause."
While there were rumblings online that Lambert would guest star as a drag queen and sing Gaga's "Judas," it looks like changes have been made (reportedly per Lambert's request) and he will no longer appear in drag.
Lambert's episode will be the fourth in the season and will also be the installment following Cory Monteith's memorial episode, which will address the death of the actor, and by extension his character, Finn.
Aside from prepping for his guest turn on "Glee," Lambert has also been keeping busy this summer by recording a track for Avicii's debut album, splitting from his record label and sitting at the center of rumors he would return to "American Idol," but this time as a judge.
Lambert's version of "Applause" should be a memorable cover if nothing else and if you have any doubt that he can pull off Gaga then check out his fierce wig wearing (see the picture).
"Glee" returns to Fox on Thursday September 26 at 9pm.

Ex-footballer crowned Mr GayItalia

26-year-old Giovanni Licchello, a former footballer from Brindisi, has been crowned Mr Gay Italia 2013.
Licchello, an Iraqi refugee, who fled his home after his family asked for him to be killed because of his sexuality, was awarded a special prize for bravery after being left scarred for life when he defended a gay friend who was beaten in a nightclub.






 
He spent two years in Germany before moving to Turin, where he was taken in by a gay couple.
“I had two dads,” Licchello told the judges. “They looked after me and gave me the opportunity to study and work.”






 
The award for Mr Gay Smile went to 39-year-old Michele Ratti, a maths and physics professor from La Spezia in northern Italy. He has been “openly gay since University and proud of it.”

 



The competition was held at Mamamia gay club in Tuscany and is now in its 17th year.
It’s happening as politicians resume a debate over an anti-homophobia law following the suicide of a 14-year-old boy in Rome who was bullied for being gay. Politicians and gay rights groups have now called for tougher punishments for those involved in hate crimes against homosexuals.
 

Obama named ‘hero of Russia’s gay rights movement’ by The Moscow Times

President Obama met with LGBT activists in Russia during his G20 trip to St Petersburg

President Barack Obama has been named one of Russia’s top gay rights heroes by The Moscow Times.
The US leader was placed at number five in the paper’s “5 Heroes of Russia’s Gay Rights Movement” photo gallery.
Moscow based LGBT campaigner Nikolai Alexeyev topped the list. Campaigners Dmitry Isakov, Igor Kochetkov and Anna Anisimova were ahead of President Obama.
Mentioning PinkNews.co.uk in its write-up of Mr Obama, The Moscow Times said: “American authorities have long raised questions about human rights and LGBT issues in Russia, and Obama sent a clear signal during his visit to St Petersburg for the G20 summit, where he organised a meeting with human rights and LGBT activists amid a busy schedule and ongoing negotiations regarding the conflict in Syria.
“The meeting was attended by investigative journalist Yelena Milashina, lawyer Ivan Pavlov of human rights organisation Memorial, and human rights activist Boris Pynstintsev, among others. Originally scheduled for 40 minutes, his meeting eventually lasted for 90 minutes.”
Earlier this month President Obama met with nine LGBT activists during his trip to St Petersburg for the G20 summit. He was so “energised intellectually and inspired” by their talks, the meeting lasted twice as long as expected.
Last month, in an interview with Jay Leno on NBC’s Tonight Show, President Obama was asked about the implementation of homophobic censorship laws in Russia.
The president replied saying he had “no patience for countries that try to treat gays and lesbians and transgender persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them.”
Russia has said it will enforce the legislation when it hosts the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
