Discuss: "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi on Adam Lambert: "I think he was always openly out"

Kooky American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi (is it going to be a rule for every female Idol judge to be "kooky"? ... and yes, I realize "kooky" is being kind) will appear on The View this morning, and holds nothing back when the talk turns to Adam Lambert and that "pink elephant":

Asked by Barbara Walters whether Lambert's perceived sexuality may have influenced Idol voters, DioGuardi said, "Well, first of all, I hope not ... because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry and they both [Lambert and Allen] had that."
"Either way", she said, "I don't think that Adam [Lambert] was ever in [the closet]," DioGuardi continued. "I think he was always openly out."

Kara's honesty and matter-of-factness about Adam is refreshing compared to the tiptoeing that others are doing (i.e. Adam is "flamboyant", Adam is "colorful"), but I wonder how the Idol producers feel about one of the judges breaking the Cone Of Silence?
