Adam Lambert Debuts Truly Outrageous "For Your Entertainment" Album Cover

How The Heck Is Lady GaGa Going To Top This!?

Well, clutch my pearls.

To the six women of the "I Want Adam Lambert's Baby" fan club in Idaho, the American Idol runner-up's just released artwork for his new alum is a clear message that the only thing he could ever be interested in about you is where you got your sparkly lipgloss.

Because wholly rainbows, unicorns and Boy George's eyeliner, the "For your Entertainment" cover makes Elton John look like a bear wrestling he-man.

You know, in case you were still in denial about the whole coming out the transparent closet story in Rolling Stone. What about those pictures of him making out with a naked woman in Details, you ask? Please. They should just call the magazine Don't Tell My Parents I'm Gay.

Admit it, when you first saw the album cover, you thought it was a joke photo-shopped by a secret Xanadu fan with a wind machine on their Christmas wish list. Because you thought that not even Adam Lambert the man who used American Idol to sing "Ring Of Fire" in the style of a creepy Middle-Eastern snake charmer and part-time date-rapist would purposefully think of looking like something a redneck wife of a professional wrestling fan would airbrush onto the back of her fancy "going out" leather jacket on the cover of his first album.

But nope. It's the real deal, as he told his followers on Twitter:

Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It's an omage to the past. It IS ridiculous For those that don't get it: oh well Glad to have gotten your attention. androgyny. Rock n Roll

We get the feeling Lambert doesn't know what "androgyny" means, unless the definition has expanded to include men who look as if they've woken up in a ditch and realized that their fraternity prank involved being stripped, dyed and eyebrow-waxed, while simultaneously getting the deluxe Liza Minnelli Makeover at the MAC counter.

Unfortunately, this means that Kris Allen's album artwork will now probably show him in ass-less chaps and covered in glitter but we'll deal with that when we have to.
