Entertainment Weekly

Well, maybe I’m a little ashamed to admit it. But this is what I wrote to Entertainment Weekly yesterday in response to THIS cover:

To the Editor:

I have been a devote EW reader since issue #1, but seeing Adam Lambert on cover was the first time I literally screamed with glee when I pulled the magazine out of the mailbox (and I may have done a little happy dance too). Adam rocks my entire universe. This 40-something mom doesn’t care whether he’s gay, straight, or attracted to aliens from Mars. I just want him to keep on singing.

You know what, I didn’t even embellish this one. I was flipping through the mail and actually did squeal and clap when I saw Adam on the cover. Glee just bubbled out of me. Glee, I tell you. I couldn’t help it.

I am insanely late to the American Idol party. It’s been going on since, like, the Stone Age, but I only started watching it this season. I have no idea what my problem was. I am happy to watch countless hours of television that is infinitely more mindless than AI. I think I couldn’t figure out why it would be necessary for this show to be on more than once a week. I was confused and slow. But now I’m addicted. I can’t even tell you how many hours I have wasted spent reading articles about the Idols, watching YouTube videos about the Idols, downloading songs, texting in votes, etc. Something was clearly missing in my life, because I sure as heck jumped right onto the AI bandwagon.

As for dear Adam … he scares me.  In real life I’m much more of Kris girl, but Adam is so smokin hot, he deserves to win. Props to EW for giving Adam the love he deserves.
