14 DAY TRIAL // A little over a week ago, word broke that Oprah Winfrey would be having American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert as a guest on her show. Though the host has not personally confirmed this – as she’s not in the habit of talking of her guests before an interview airs – the first details of the interview and accompanying performance have already started to emerge, courtesy of People magazine.
Adam taped his appearance on January 13, but the episode itself will air a few days later, on January 19. Both he and Oprah are very tight lipped about this, but whatever it is that they’re not saying still finds a way to emerge in the media, much to the delight of fans. Thus, they already have a first photo of Lambert with the Queen of Television, as Oprah is often dubbed, as well as several other details on what exactly went down during the taping.
“It’s hardly like Adam Lambert to be anything but upfront, so the recent mystery about his possible appearing with Oprah Winfrey on her show was a bit baffling. But baffle no more. While the American Idol sensation addressed the rumors and Twittered last Thursday, ‘Oprah: def true,’ word from the Winfrey camp reached People to say that the 27-year-old and the media queen taped their interview Wednesday at the Harpo Studios in Chicago. The show will air Tuesday, Jan. 19,” People writes.
“In the course of their sit-down, Lambert – sporting a new haircut – touched upon Simon Cowell’s announced departure from Idol and its possible ramifications for the show, what life was like for him both pre-Idol and after, and his controversial performance at the American Music Awards. The singer also performed ‘Whataya Want from Me’ from his new album ‘For Your Entertainment.’ Also on the Oprah Winfrey Show with Adam: chart-topper Susan Boyle,” People further says.
As we were also telling you over the weekend, both Adam and the Scottish singer taped their Oprah appearances on the same day, January 13, which prompted many to speculate on whether they’d be doing a joint appearance. From that to speaking of a duet between the two best selling stars of 2009 was just but a step – and many took it gladly. Keep an eye on this space to see what becomes of this rumored upcoming duet.
