With everyone all is-he-or-isn't-he-ing over American Idol finalist Adam Lambert's sexuality, we here at the MTV Buzzworthy Blog are firmly entrenched in Team Glambert and could care less if he's gay or not as long as he keeps keeping his glam gun set to stun.

But friends, Adam Lambert wasn't the first man in music to get glittery and glossy, wield an eyeliner pencil, nor keep his skin positively pristine.

And so, to celebrate Adam Lambert, the most glam man (or woman!) on TV, let's take a look at some of the glammest guys in music history!

From Prince to Perez, from the Backstreet Boys to the most glam Jonas Brother of them all, see who else made the list!

Boy George: The godfather of early '80s glam, Boy George and the Culture Club -- their 1982 single, "Do You Really Wanna Hurt Me?," off the album Kissing To Be Clever, went to #1 in a dozen countries -- were never afraid to play with musical genres, gender, or with makeup, obviously. Unfortunately, Boy George tumbled for drugs and false imprisonment of a male escort and is currently in prison. Whoops! Video: Culture Club | "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?"

Marilyn: One of Boy George's contemporaries, British pop star Marilyn, born Peter Robinson, also saw brief gender-bending fame in the '80s. Marilyn was featured on the 1984 all-star Band Aid jammy-jam "Do They Know It's Christmas?," had a massive falling out with Boy George, and claims that he had an intense affair with Gavin Rossdale back in the day. Gavin denies his involvement with Marilyn, but one thing that's undeniable was that Marilyn was the master of the perfectly arched brow -- the killer app in any glam guy's tool kit.

Backstreet Boys: The liberal use of lip gloss, eyeliner and, hair products that the Backstreet Boys featured in their 2005 video, "Just Want You to Know," was strictly due to the fact that they were portraying fictitious '80s hair band, Sphynkter... or was it? And I defy you to find something NOT glam about zebra car seat covers. Video: Backstreet Boys | "I Just Want You To Know"

Freddie Mercury: No one pushed the glam envelope (glamvelope?) harder or farther than the late, great Freddie Mercury. Known as one of the most commanding, theatrical, and flamboyant performers of all time, even David Bowie considers him one of the edgiest performers ever. Equally at home in a tight t-shirt and jeans or a skin-tight court jester's catsuit and a crushed velvet cape, Freddie Mercury popularized the cop 'stache and ambiguous sexuality while unintentionally paving the way for Lady Gaga to appropriate her namesake from Queen's 1984 hit, "Radio Gaga."

Bill Kaulitz: Please. As IF we would leave Bill Kaulitz off a list of glam guys. The trademark hair and makeup alone are award-worthy, as is the fact that his life is one big series of angular, intense, and amazing poses. Also, Bill deserved his own giant tongue just for the makeup he wore to the MTV Tr3s Los 2008 Premios Awards. Video: Tokio Hotel | "Monsoon" Live on TRL

Perez Hilton: Though he's worn a most un-glam tenty Sherlock Holmes cape... thing... and a Hello Kitty shower cap... and shorts that looked a lot like lederhosen, the self-proclaimed Queen of All Media earned back tons of glam points when he wore an ARETHA HAT, designed by Mr. Song Millinery, to his South By Southwest party in March 2009.

Kanye West: Aside from hanging out with a guy who wears an Aretha Hat and spending an inordinate amount of time fantasizing about models, when he's not ruining awards shows or claiming he's not gay, Kanye West spends an inordinate amount of time discussing fashion, attending fashion shows, and basically giving himself over to fashion. And being very very fashionable. He also changed his name to Martin Louis The King, Jr. and was recently named hip-hop's best-dressed man. Video: Kanye West | "Gold Digger"

George Michael: Shown here catching a nebulous orb of glam, George Michael's been and stayed glam throughout the years. Whether prancing about in nut-huggers and a pro-life t-shirt and doing the jitterbug (see: the entire "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" video) during his Wham! days, or being all James Dean-y as Faith-era George Michael, George wrote the prescription for the perfect rugged-glum look: well man-icured facial hair, sculpted brows, sunglasses, and earrings. And speaking of prescriptions, George Michael's affinity for drugs and public toilets led to some majorly un-glam photo opps. Whoops! But, hiring Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell for his 1990 video, "Freedom '90," was one of the glammest moments in guy-glam history.  Video: George Michael | "Freedom '90"

As you may recall, Tuesday's Buzz Bites included this item: Gavin Rossdale, who continues to be inexplicably, unmanageably studly, has just released a solo video that uses the oldest trick in the book to up his man-babe factor. It stars his and Gwen Stefani’s 2-year-old son Kingston. Well, that wasn't quite true.

It turns out, first of all, that Gavin Rossdale's studliness needs no upping. The ex-Bush beefcake is topless for half of the video in question, and he's in better shape than most sculptures. Secondly, Kingston is hardly a star, but he does flash his smushy, sweet little celebaby face at the 2:23 mark.

Now, on to the business at hand: Gavin Rossdale's "Forever May You Run" video is awesome on a variety of levels. For one thing, It includes excessive running, and dude kiiinda runs like Steven Seagal. No offense Gavin. You look great.

Next, Gavin's new video incorporates themes from all of your favorite movies. It opens with an angry Jerry Maguire-ish corporate walk-out, fades into a Forrest Gump running montage, which gives way to a dangerous Lord Of The Rings mountain scenario and culminates in a Hillside Singers-style '70s Coke commercial (which is sort of like a movie).

The song itself is classic Brit-rock. Soft sentimental verses lead into anthemic choruses, which in turn erupt into thumping minor-chord bridges with off-kilter tempos and searing, reverbed guitar solos. Think Snow Patrol + Oasis / U2, only topless, ripped, and sprinting through a busy intersection. Got it? Good. Now watch.

+ A hilarious new Twilight knock-off does a great job of helping us non-vampires relate to Edward Cullen's insatiable animal hunger for Bella. Watch Twilight - With Cheeseburgers! (Perez Hilton)

+ In honor of Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo's new DVD/EP, Not Alone -- Rivers Cuomo & Friends Live at Fingerprints, a clip of an incredible in-store performance has been leaked to the Internet.

In case you haven't noticed, Gavin Rossdale and his wife, Gwen Stefani, aren't your average old married couple. For one thing, they're not particularly old. For another, they both happen to be (a) gorgeous, (b) talented and (c) completely in love. And since they don't seem to be headed towards a messy celeb dee-vorce anytime soon, we're thinking the closest these two've ever come to a custody battle is divvying up the rights to super-talented music video director, Sophie Mueller.

According to Gavin, Mueller -- who's directed tons of Gwen Stefani/No Doubt videos -- was also the brains behind his latest video, "Love Remains the Same." Which means you have her to thank for those super-steamy shots of Gavin in the shower. (You're welcome!)

+ Judging by the name of Nas' (presumptuously-titled) new single, "Black President," we're guessing he's not exactly voting McCain. (MTV)

We will now freely admit to having a slight residual crush on Gavin Rossdale (a.k.a. Mr. Gwen Stefani) dating back to the early '90s, when Rossdale and his then-band Bush came out with their breathy single, "Glycerine."

But that doesn't mean we're biased when it comes to reviewing "Love Remains the Same," the first video release off his new LP, Wanderlust, which drops next month. And what this song lacks in pure, unadulterated Seattle-inspired grunge, it more than makes up for with gritty, black-and-white broody mood lighting and gratuitous shots of Rossdale in the shower. (Hollerz!)

Turns out the Kilburn, London native is still the soulful, raspy-voiced rocker we've crushed on for years. In fact, he seems to have gotten hotter with age. And no doubt, his wife would agree.
