Your Gay of the Week: Adam Lambert, "American Idol"

After earning a standing ovation/ovulation from the judges for his cover of a cover of "Mad World", American Idol hopeful Adam Lambert has once again emerged from the Gay of the Week fray as this week's gender-bendy, impressively savvy victor.

To find out by what margin Adam bested the other challengers, read on. And be sure to check back in on Friday when a new crop of hopefuls throw down the gay gauntlet in the name of network supremacy!

Why he won: Sure, photos of Lambert making out with another guy and video of him talking about how he's not into girls have gossip tongues wagging more than they do for the usual Idol contestant. But I have a feeling that it's Lambert's talent, smarts and gigundus bronze balls that have really won the hearts of the gay voting public ... and hence, the crown.

Oh, and by the way: I'm heretofore pronouncing his last name "Lahm-behrrrrr", as in, "Is Adam Lahmbehhrrr a fan of Stephen Colbert?" Or, "I wonder if Adam Lahmbehhrrr prefers brie or camembert?" I invite you to do the same.

How he won: Lambert trounced the competition by pulling a whopping 56% of the votes. Coming in a distant second was wacky twin Zac from As the World Turns, followed by gay cop John Cooper from Southland, who earned 19% of the votes. Squeaking out a measly 2% of the votes was Bruce from Krod Mandoon.

Past wins: This is Adam's second time in the throne.

We'll see you on Friday, when your votes will determine who will enjoy gaydom's most sought-after piece of headgear next week!
