The 'Trespassing' hitmaker walked the 'Z' shape red carpet in Manhattan's Times Square yesterday and shared a picture of himself at the event, which he accompanied by an incredibly brief review: "At the WORLD WAR Z premier last night. Film was A+ Was on the edge of my seat!"

'World War Z' is an apocalyptic horror film that stars Brad Pitt and centres on a zombie pandemic that spirals out of control and threatens to wipe out humanity. It will be released in the UK on Friday, June 21. 

Meanwhile, Queen's Brian May recently confirmed that he and Lambert have plans to work together again although he remained tight-lipped on the details of the project. 

Speaking to MTV, May explained that he and Lambert are keen to reunite for another collaboration although it's unlikely to be a tour, despite the fact that the 'Whataya Want From Me' hitmaker stepped into the late Freddie Mercury's shoes and sang for Queen in 2012:

"We are talking about doing something with Adam, probably for TV. He's an amazing artist and a very nice guy. We keep in touch and have a good friendship. We're not talking about touring yet, but we are talking about doing an event."

While Lambert is yet to address the news, he appears to have acknowledged it as earlier this evening (June 17) he tweeted a link to an article about May's remarks and plans.

Watch footage of Lambert performing live with Queen in London last summer below:

May talked to MTV News UK on the black carpet of the Kerrang! Awards and revealed that he and the ‘Gangnam Style’ rapper had brunch in London this week to talk about collaborating.

May said: "I met the guy and we had a very interesting chat.

"He's a very thoughtful man and a significant artist. He's also encyclopaedic about Queen and says the reason he wanted to sing is because he saw Queen at Wembley '86 on video.

"We have a couple of ideas, so yeah I'm up for it."

May also confirmed further plans with previous collaborator Adam Lambert, who fronted Queen for a series of sold-out shows last year.

"We are talking about doing something with Adam, probably for TV,” said May. “He's an amazing artist and a very nice guy. We keep in touch and have a good friendship.

"We're not talking about touring yet, but we are talking about doing an event."

During an interview with NewsRadio 1020 KDKA, the vocal sensation explained that he is more concerned with his integrity as a musician, out gay man and activist for the LGBT community than achieving record-breaking album sales. When asked if his gay rights activism poses a risk to his career, Lambert said:

"I figure in 15 years from now, 20 years from now, I don't want to look back with any regrets. You know, I want to do what I want to do. And ultimately that integrity is the thing that I think is more important than the immediate like sales or, you know, measurable success."

"And I also feel like, you know, between you and I, it's kind of a little bit fun to kind of rile people up."

The singer released his last record 'Trespassing' in 2012 and fans are eagerly awaiting news of the singer returning to the studio.

Speaking to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the 'Better Than I Know Myself' star confirmed that he has been thinking about the next album - but he's keeping silent on the matter. He said:

"I do have an idea [of the next album's sound], but I'm not gonna tell ya."

Lambert meanwhile is due to perform at the Pittsburgh Pridefest event on Saturday (June 15) and he added that he wants to use his fame to promote positive issues and raise awareness. The singer added:

"I feel like with celebrity and visibility and fame, there's a responsibility to try to give back and try to use the visibility for the greater good. It's not all about me. It's about trying to raise awareness and getting people to take action. I'm fortunate to have a really cool fan base and they want to be involved."

The 'Better Than I Know Myself' singer appeared on the veteran comic's TV show Fashion Police last night (June 10) to celebrate her 80th birthday.

Lambert battled it out with basketball star Darius Morris and comedian Gilbert Gottfried to impress Rivers and win a date with the birthday girl.

The singer's shopping spree idea seemingly piqued interest, with Lambert eventually winning the contest. He said:

"We would be sipping champagne, caviar; we would shop the day away. I would take you to get a facial, dermabrasion, a peel, makeup done, hair set - buy you anything you want."

He added that they would then "fall asleep watching Fashion Police".

 

The Friend Movement, which was created to spread "positive anti-bully images through art and media", has launched a project called 'The New F Word'.

Its angle is encouraging people to ditch offensive words such as 'freak' and 'fag' and replace it with 'friend'.

Adam Lambert and LeAnn Rimes have appeared in new images for the project, with the duo seen sticking up blurred middle fingers.

The Friend Movement encourage others to take similar photos and give "bullying the bird".

They hope that by doing so, the issue of bullying will be given new levels of awareness.

Writing on his official Twitter page last night, the hitmaker told his 2 million followers that he was about to be given a special award for his "accomplishments and advocacy on behalf of the LGBT community": "Receiving Los Angeles' City of Hope Award from Mayor @villaraigosa this evening. What an honor!"

Lambert also shared a photograph of himself with mayor Villaraigosa on his Instagram page and the City of Los Angeles Heritage Month Celebrations' Facebook page uploaded a couple of snapshots taken at the ceremony (pictured above left and below), which took place at the Los Angeles City Hall.

The Dream and Spirit of Los Angeles Awards were given to Mia Yamamoto, who is a longtime attorney and LGBT activist, and Rodney Scott, President of Christopher Street West/LA PRIDE.

Earlier in May, Lambert was given the Davidson/Valentini prize at the 2013 GLAAD Awards for making a significant difference in promoting equality for the LGBT community and he has also been nominated for an O Music Award, thanks to the enthusiasm of his fan base.

Listen to Lambert's City of Hope acceptance speech below:

The track was penned by the Beat4Feet Music production team and while Lambert belted it out at the charity ball, he took to his official Twitter page earlier today (May 28) and told his 2 million followers that it will be available to re-watch on YouTube, but probably won't surface anywhere else:

"Life Ball song was written specifically 4 this 1 time only costume ball & charity event. It's life was short but will live on via YouTube."

On May 12, however, a tweet was sent from the Life Ball's account that explained the song would be available for purchase, but Lambert is yet to address this statement personally: "As soon as all details have been finalised we'll announce when & where to get the song!"

The 'Trespassing' superstar also shared a few more snapshots from the Life Ball via his official Instagram page (pictured below) that show off his elaborate 'Ali Baba' inspired outfit.

Watch his performance of the song below:

The ball, which is Europe's biggest fundraiser for HIV and AIDS, was held over the weekend in Vienna and had an Arabian '1001 Nights' theme, which the superstar took on board with his stunning costume of a bedazzled headpiece and dramatic sparkling robe.

Writing on his official Twitter page, Lambert revealed his excitement at being there: "Thrilled to be a part of Life Ball! The theme is 1001 Nights and I am playing "Ali Baba" singing a song written exclusively for the event!"

The sang a cut called 'Love Wins Over Glamour', which is an uptempo offering with a dance influence and a great breakdown. Some of the lyrics include: "I seem to be so f**king lucky lately, I've found the key to endless treasure/ My heart is pumping and I like what I see, you give me joy you give me pleasure."

Yahoo! explains that the song was written by the Beat4Feet Music production team, which consists of Martin Gellner and Werner Stranka, with lyrics by Martin, Werner, and Adam.

Candice Glover was crowned Idol winner last night (May 16) as a host of big name stars took to the stage.

She beat Kree Harrison on what was a truly star-studded occasion, with numerous high profile guests performing.

Former contestant Adam Lambert and Jessie J performed with finalist Angie Miller - with the former playing the track 'Titanium' - with the likes of Jennifer Hudson and Emeli Sandé also singing with contestants.

Ex-judge Jennifer Lopez also took to the stage to perform, as did international star Psy.

Vocal legend Aretha Franklin also appeared via video-link to perform with the top five females.

Glover's song 'I Am Beautiful' meanwhile is available to download now.

He has been recognised in the 'Fan Army FTW' category, which celebrates artists with the most dedicated, supportive and involved followings.

Competition, however, is tough as the Glamberts will go head-to-head with the fans of Ed Sheeran ('Sheerios'), Selena Gomez ('Selenators'), Tokio Hotel ('Aliens'), Justin Bieber ('Beliebers'), Beyoncé ('Beyhive' members), Demi Lovato ('Lovatics'), Thirty Seconds To Mars ('Echelon'), and All Time Low ('Hustlers') for the exciting title.

The 2013 O Awards will be held on June 19th at 7pm ET/4pm PT online and there will be a "24-hour livestreamed party to celebrate and honor the artists, innovators and fans that are impacting music, technology and counter culture today."

During an interview with Pressparty last summer, the 'Trespassing' hitmaker explained that he feels united with his fans because they all share common ground: "We all want the same things, we all need the same things, we all fear the same things. We’re just different sexes, but we all kind of go through a lot of the same sh*t."
