LAMBERT BLASTS SIMMONS OVER 'COMING OUT' CONFESSION
AMERICAN IDOL star ADAM LAMBERT has fired back at criticism he received from GENE SIMMONS, calling the KISS star "obnoxious" and "a d**k".
Simmons criticised Lambert for 'coming out' as a gay man shortly after Idol wrapped in May (09), claiming the big reveal would hurt his career.
Lambert ended weeks of speculation by declaring his sexuality just days after he lost the 2009 show finale to Kris Allen and Simmons insisted he should have kept the information to himself, because his homosexuality will now overshadow everything he ever does.
The KISS star said, "He killed his career because now the conversation is not about his talent but about his sexual preference. He's done."
But, as he prepares to debut his first album, Lambert begs to differ - blasting Simmons in a new Rolling Stone interview.
He rages, "He's (Simmons) obnoxious, and what a hypocrite - all he talks about is his sex life.
"He was being a d**k - and he's not the greatest singer."

I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I also believe in
decency, self-respect and being discreet. The public dont want to know or see
on the newspaper or internet about Adam Lambert's personal life. His personal
life and sexuality are private. But it seems that Adam is enjoying the
limelight of his fame, but I wonder if its going to cause self destruction in
the long run.
