Happy Birthday, Adam Lambert!

Posted: 30 Jan 2010 01:47 AM PST

Just one year ago, the country was introduced to Adam Lambert on the Season 8 San Francisco auditions episode. Since stepping onto the scene, Adam has become a household name.

With his Top 36 performance of Satisfaction, Adam sailed into the Top 13. His bold song choices and impeccable vocals contributed to his safety week after week, eventually making him the Season 8 runner-up. Soon after Season 8 wrapped, Adam was signed to 19 Recordings and licensed to RCA Records. While touring around the country with the Top 10 on the American Idols LIVE! 2010 tour, Adam was simultaneously writing and recording tracks for his debut album. On November 23, 2009, Adam released For Your Entertainment, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200. As of now, the album has sold approximately 478,000 units in the U.S.

Earlier this week, the birthday boy visited birthday girl Ellen DeGeneres on the set of her talk show to perform Strut in honor of her 52nd birthday.

Happy 28th Birthday, Adam!

Happy Birthday, Adam Lambert!

Posted: 30 Jan 2010 01:47 AM PST

Adam Lambert has a busy weekend ahead of him — style lounges to visit (he's expected at the KIIS-FM Grammy Gift Lounge today), a red carpet to host on Sunday (for America's top-rated celebrity news show, "Entertainment Tonight," no less) –  so he may want to home in tonight's birthday celebration … or not.

"Idol's" poster boy for all things glam turns 28 years young today, and here's hoping it's a happy one!

In honor of this momentous occasion, let's watch Adam "Strut" his stuff on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" earlier this week.

"American Idol Rewind" starts up again Saturday with an encore presentation of Season 5. Need a refresher? It was the year that Soul Patrol mania and McPheever swept the nation, Elliott Yamin proved to be the ultimate underdog, and Chris Daughtry exited early after a truly shocking elimination.

The class of 2006 was also "Idol's" highest rated to date, with the kind of numbers networks can only dream of — especially these days. Saturday's episode kicks off with the Top 12.

"Rewind" is syndicated to 237 stations. Log on to www.tvguide.com/listings to check for availability in your area. And let us know: What were your favorite moments from Season 5?

Kara DioGuardi and Elliott Yamin head to Angola for ‘Idol Gives Back’

Posted: 30 Jan 2010 01:47 AM PST

Elliott Yamin is headed back to Angola for this year's "Idol Gives Back," and Kara DioGuardi is tagging along. "We're going back and Kara is rolling with me," Elliott tells Idol Tracker. "The last time I was there with Fantasia, we visited a school that had this flight of stairs that led to nowhere. They told me there wasn't enough money to finish building the school, so I got Exxon-Mobil to underwrite $100,000 so that the kids would have an adequate place to learn."

Elliott added that his role will be to take Kara around and "show her the ropes." The two will also present a check to Sister Dominguez and continue the "Idol Gives Back" initiative with Malaria No More, an organization that provides mosquito nets to help thwart the spread of malaria.

"This is very special to me," said Elliott. "It's a chance to go over there and show how Malaria No More, Exxon-Mobil and 'Idol Gives Back' are collectively putting that money to work and tangibly show that we're able to make a difference."

Elliott leaves for Angola on Feb. 16. "Idol Gives Back" is scheduled to air on April 21.
