In this week's issue of Rolling Stone, Lambert admits that he was so attracted to Allen it was "distracting."

Hey, Adam is only human, just like the rest of us! He’s not made of stone.
ahhh, give us more Allison LOL
Watch the embedded clip. Around the 43/44 second mark, Adam kisses Paula on the cheek…and then kisses Kris on the ear. Sneaky sneaky. :0)
KRADAM LIVES! Im glad Kris was so cool about it
Well, I’m glad he’s cool about it. No need to freak out over something innocent, it’d probably make him look bad if he did. And it would actually be more awkward if a female contestant said she had a crush on him, cause Kris is a married man, and that would probably make her suspicious…
By “her”, I mean his wife, she’d probably be a bit jealous, and that would be ugly…
Love them!
That was why Adam was happy that Kris won! http://bbwdatingsingles.com
Seems like Paula had a few drinks before this interview. Not that I have a problem with that.
I am sooooo happy that Kris didn’t react like a homophobic twit.
Guys should be flattered if other guys find them as attractive as girls do. It doesn’t mean you’re gay if you thank the guy for the compliment. Just kindly state that you ‘don’t swing that way,’ or whatever the current slang is.
Kris handled it wonderfully, and I hope this teaches some of the teens and tweens how to gracefully accept such a compliment.
You gotta love these guys!
This is an AWESOME performance:

I highly doubt Kris didn’t know Adam thinks he’s attractive. The guys are friends and Adam has probably told him that before.
I wanted Adam to win Idol because he was so very talented. I am still a big Adam Lambert fan, but I am liking Kris Allen more and more everytime I read an interview with him. He is so confident and secure with himself,is certainly not a homophobe, and I absolutely do not believe there is a ‘mean bone in his body’. His wife is so fortunate to have him for her very own. Kris is a true treasure. I’m glad he won now. He’s just terrific!
To those Kris fans who are moronic homophobes. Take a lesson in class. I’m no a fan of Kris’s music at all, but you cannot deny the fact that he is a class A gentleman. You cant blame adam anyway. Kris is hot.
Once again E.W. this is not news. Just another one of your Adam is gay and Kris is not jabs. Good for Kris but it would be so nice to see an article about Adam on here thats just about his career. After all Slezak we know you are gay, but i never see you write or talk about that.
Umm…you read SO much into Adam’s quote that didn’t exist!! He relayed his initial impression of his roommate situation in a joking manner. We all know that during the course of the show they became like brothers. Give me a break. btw. Kris is awesome for thinking its hysterical, which I’m sure is how Adam’s words were intended. Why oh why does the media twist words and spin stories that don’t exist?
I really love both of these guys and it is great to see how open and understanding they are. I hope they do an AWESOME duet together. They could teach a lot of people about tolerance. I think Adam’s man crush on Kris is adorable- and Kris’ response to it even more so!
How is this news lol. Wow…A.I. been over for like a month, and still writing about it.

If Adam had said that he DIDN’T have a crush on Kris then we would all know that he was a big liar. What gay man wouldn’t have a crush on him? Kris is hot, sweet, hot, charming, down-to-earth, and…did I mention hot?
How delightfully typical of Kris that he would react in such a charming fashion to Adam’s “crush.” I would think it was hilarious too – he’s right on. Kris is a classy guy.
Well, Kris and Adam are both class acts (not to mention Allison,) which is more than I can say about a certain other top four contestant…
kris, totally cool and classy as usual. and that is my favorite kradam clip btw.
Yay. LOVE Them. Glad you went to New York. Go KRADISON
Who the hell cares? lol I think my straight best friend is cute but whatever! More importantly, Kris is SO short! lol
Does anyone know which of the idol contestants Adam didn’t get along with? In an interview he said he wouldnt say until after the tour. I’m just curious.
So…did the Gokey interview fall through? It would be a little embarrassing after being so ugly to him all season?
So did the Goken interview fall through? Would be embarrassing to watch – after the way EW ragged on him all season. Wasn’t a fan either.
Guys having crushes on guys ,perfectly normal…same thing with women
i’m with adam, kris would’ve been all mine if i roomed with him. i’d love to shower with him!!! ha
