Lambert! Dystopian setting! Power ballad! From the soundtrack to the forthcoming disaster-porn epic (and John Cusack vehicle!) 2012! Here are the five most miraculous things about Adam Lambert's brand-new video, "Time For Miracles," from his upcoming album, For Your Entertainment.

1. ADAM LAMBERT HAS TIME TO COORDINATE: On the day the day the world ends, Adam Lambert still has time to dress up like Judd Nelson's character from the Breakfast Club! "No, Dad! What about you!" You've got to hand it to anyone who takes the time, when all is falling down around him, to perfectly match his eye makeup to his weathered Docs.

2. ADAM LAMBERT HAS GRACE UNDER FIRE: It's miraculous that Lambert keeps his cool. My man is STROLLING through some everything-must-go pandemonium. This is the kind of grace under fire (literally) that served him so well on Idol. After the apocalypse, a leader will rise; a confident man capable of singing in the face of total destruction. That man is Adam Lambert.

3. ADAM LAMBERT HAS STICK-TO-IT-NESS: He "ain't giving up on love." Dude! There are cars FALLING OUT OF THE SKY. Trust me, you can feel free to not give up on love, but there won't be anyone left to love because they will all be a.) dead, or b.) running from the falling cars (and meteors and tidal waves). Nothing comes between Adam Lambert and love.

4. ADAM LAMBERT HAS A KEEN SENSE OF URBAN NAVIGATION: Adam Lambert sure has a (dare I say it... yes, I dare) miraculous sense of which skyscraper to sing from. Of all the skyscrapers that crumble, crash, and fall in his "Time For Miracles" video (among the dozens which must also bite it in the film itself), Lambert is on the one that remains strong. They should rename it Lambert Tower. And by "they," I mean the five people on Earth left alive after all this mayhem.

5. ADAM LAMBERT VISITS ONLY CLEAN CITIES: The cleanliness of the streets, post-apocalypse. Um, I'm from Philadelphia. I think we only just cleaned up the trash and detritus from last year's World Series celebrations. No way this city cleans up all the craziness in the time-span of a music video.

Bold, bright makeup looks -- like Lady Gaga's baby pink lipstick, the spring green eyeshadow Adam Lambert rocks on the cover of his For Your Entertainment album cover or the statement-making dramatic deep-dark makeup choices Rihanna makes -- are a fun way to play with color, especially as winter rolls in. But neon looks aren't always easy to achieve. So I called on Doe Deere (that's her above), who's a model, musician, and owner of makeup line Lime Crime.

Doe Deere's constructed an entire modern-day Rainbow Brite universe of unicorns, cupcakes, candy, and cats (not to mention science!) So she's just the perfect person to show you how to properly apply crazy-bright, highly pigmented fluorescent lipsticks and shadows to get the perfect Gaga/ Lambert/ Rihanna/ pick your popstar look.

From the annals of absurdity in consumerism, let us know turn our attention to the forthcoming super deluxe edition of Lady Gaga's The Fame: Monster.

What's super about it? Well, there are eight new jams included, including the new single, "Bad Romance." That would go under the definition of super, I suppose. But what's deluxe?

Oh Gaga -- who just tapped Semi Precious Weapons to open for her Monster Ball Tour,  handed Adam Lambert a song for his new album, For Your Entertainment, and who'll appear on an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl -- Gaga's got deluxe. Included in the $100 package is a book (of Gaga), a Gaga paper doll, some photos, 3D glasses, and a lock of Lady Gaga's hair. Hmm. I will be super-deluxe interested to know how that works out. Gaga's got a lot of fans who are probably willing to shell out $100 for her hair. (Though it is cheaper than jewelry made out of hair.) If there are enough Gaga fans out there unscathed by the credit crunch, Lady could find herself going all Cassie/ Britney soon. The Fame: Monster drops November 23rd.

STOP what you're doing because whatever you're doing is NOWHERE NEAR as important as the precious time you're about to spend or already have spent staring slack-jawed at the glorious artistic masterpiece that is Adam Lambert's just-released For Your Entertainment album cover.

Reactions to Adam Lambert's For Your Entertaiment cover art have ranged from Very Bowie to fan art gone wild to the resurrection of Jem And The Holograms to "gayer than anything man can conceive of."

To be sure, Adam Lambert is fully in on the joke -- he just Tweeted: "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." (Except homage is spelled with an "h." Oh well. He's got singing going for him.)

Anyway, I LOVE ridiculous. I LIVE by ridiculous. And I love that the art direction for For Your Entertainment was basically like "Um, so, let's take Prince's Purple Rain album art, Rihanna's Rated R cover art, and Steel Panther's Death To All But Metal cover art, add Kate Gosselin's wig but spray paint it blue, mkay? But let's ALSO paint Adam's nails black too, because that's always symbolically dark." I also love that it looks like the kind of mural you'd see airbrushed onto the wall of a crumbling skating rink. The only thing that truly makes no sense is the budget-looking font used for Adam Lambert's name. I think my accountant uses the same font. Boring! MOAR SPARKLES PLZE!

Therefore, embracing all that is fantastically fun about camp, and admitting that it's great to worship at the altar of glam and Glambert, here's how YOU can get Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment album art look! JUST in time for Halloween!

+ NEON YELLOW/ GREEN EYESHADOW: Try Bloody Mary's Neon Yellow eyeshadow. Apply liberally to corner of eyes after making cat-eyes with hardcore amounts of black eyeliner. The more the better. Then make a sullen but beautiful pouty face. (Watch Tidal-era Fiona Apple videos for inspo.)

+ SHEER PINK LIPSTICK: I believe "baby pink" is the look Adam's going for. NARS' Roman Holiday completes the pretty picture, no? And so appropriately titled!

+ KATE GOSSELIN WIG: I mean, that's exactly what's going on here. Get a Kate Gosselin wig, some blue spray paint, and then spray the f+++ out of it.

+ SPARKLY STAR GLITTER: Because you've already come this far. Makeup For Ever's star glitter was pretty much invented for Glambert.

+ RAZOR: All excess body hair was shed for this shoot. Do it like you mean it. Because it's time for miracles, y'all.

No, straight girls, it's not "Time for Miracles." Adam Lambert didn't wake up straight this morning. He's just messing around with a naked lady in his steamy hetero (???) shoot for the November 2009 issue of Details magazine. In the Lambert-tastic issue, Adam discusses coming out, and getting depressed in 2006, after the end of his first relationship in 2006.

"I got out of my first relationship, and I was kinda downward–spirally," he says. "I was destructive... just numbing myself out." He started partying at nightclubs like Hyde and sleeping around a bit—or as he describes it, "being a slutbag." He was also drinking, "smoking a s**t ton of weed," and doing coke. "It was everywhere," he says. "And I'm not gonna lie, I had some fun, but it's never worth it the next couple of days physically."

The totally honest Adam Lambert is the Adam Lambert I absolutely love. And I love that he's not afraid of his power over hopelessly obsessed women who could care less if he's gay. But is his very George Michael-in-"Father Figure" (um, ahem) girl-focused Details photo shoot a subtle backpedaling into the closet?

Obviously he's role-playing, and clearly there's FAR more to Adam Lambert than his sexuality (that talent! THE HAIR! and, seriously, the nice-guy factor), but why can't we just Adam Lambert be gay? What's up with the chicks when we all know Adam Lambert's into, well... something that isn't that girl...

Check out more photos of Adam Lambert in Details after the jump. And what's your take on Adam's Details photos?

The "American Idols Live!" tour may be done and gone -- booooo -- but Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, and Allison Iraheta are onto bigger and better things. Adam Lambert is putting the gloss on his debut album, featuring the Twitter- and Idolsphere-busting single, "Time For Miracles" from the upcoming disaster flick, 2012. Kris Allen is living life as a winner, about to release his debut, and covering his favorite shower song, "Hit Me… Baby One More Time." Meanwhile Allison Iraheta's "Friday I'll Be Over U" could catapult her into the ranks of Pink, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, and Fefe Dobson (and did I hear a little Berlin in there? "The Metro," anyone?)

But let's look back at a time when it was easier to get Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, and Allison Iraheta all together in the same room (without Simon Cowell, hm?)

Check out this Walmart Soundcheck interview with Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert, and Kris Allen, to see the always amicable Idols, on the "American Idols Live!" tour, discuss spending life on the road together, and the good-natured teasing that goes with the territory.

+ Since everyone else is doing something vampire-related these days, Henry Rollins figured he'd jump on the bandwagon (along with Iggy Pop and Moby) and star in Suck, a spoof movie about the vampire trend. We seriously hope they get Leslie Nielsen to make a cameo (Dracula: Dead And Loving It anyone??). Pretty sure he's probably booked tho. Watch the Suck trailer for a ridiculous look at Moby, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, and Henry Rollins. (Twenty Four Bit)

+ And for all the Twilighters out there who just can't get close enough to R.Patts and his famous Edward Cullen pout, now you can have him watching over your nibbly bits while you're hosing yourself down in the shower. (Street Level)

+ Leona Lewis is set to debut her sophomore album Echo in November of this year, after being the best-selling new artist of 2008. Seriously excited for this one...

+ American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert has evidently recorded some amazeballs song for the upcoming disaster flick 2012, and this photo shoot he did ain't bad either. He's so oddly attractive, we can't put our fake fingernail on it. (Socialite Life)

+ "Mommmmy, Katy Perry has her lipstick out again!!!" (Seriously? OMG! WTF?)

+ Jack-of-all-trades Queen Latifah has a new song out featuring Busta Rhymes and others AND she has a new album coming out next week. Listen to the track here. (Rap-Up)

+ We hate to say it, but Perez Hilton has a pretty good ear for up-and-coming music, so much so that he's getting his own record label. Yikes. (The Tripwire)

+ FINALLY some good news today... Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have broken up. The kicker is that it was because Tony didn't want to dress up as Ken doll for a "Barbie & Ken"-themed party. Wonder who gets to keep the Dream House?  (Pink Is The New Blog)

+ Like her or not, lady is getting paid: Lauren Conrad just topped the NY Times' Best Seller's List! (StarPulse)

+ It's nice to see all the American Idol kids sticking together in spite of all the anti-gay protesters that are showing up outside their concerts (bashing Adam Lambert). (Popnography)

+ Lady Gaga made history this week, as she is only the third artist EVER to have three songs on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40. (Perez Hilton)

+ This weekend, Lindsay Lohan threw herself at 2008 MTV VMA host Russell Brand and surprisingly enough, the self-proclaimed sex addict said "NO!" (The Superficial)

+ In case you missed it, there was TOTAL DRAMS at last night's Much Music Video Awards in Canada. It was QUITE the spectacle: Lady Gaga had her poker face on, and she had a couple of flamethrowers for boobies.  You won't believe it. (Much Music)

+ Later on in the night, after doing an onstage bit with the Jonas Brothers and then being badgered throughout the night relentlessly by Fergie and Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas about saying mean things on his blog, Perez Hilton allegedly got attacked by the Peas' manager (though we're not really sure why beating up Perez Hilton would make anyone feel better). (Associated Press)

+ Meanwhile, back in the States, Beyonce/Sasha Fierce was kicking off the North American leg of her tour to a packed house at NYC's Madison Square Garden. (Socialite Life)

+ Oh. And just one day after Father's Day, Chris Brown struck a plea deal by pleading guilty to beating the crap out Rihanna back in February. A little probation and some community service? Sure. Why not? (MTV News)

+ This mom hates her life right now: (as if the Universal Music Group needs any more money), a Minnesota mother of two was just ordered by a federal jury to pay $1.92 million to several record labels for illegally sharing 24 songs online. It's like it's 2001 ALL. OVER. AGAIN. (NY Times)

+ Madonna recently doled out some unsolicited career advice to Adam Lambert: "Keep your eyes on the prize." In Madonna's case, prizes are small children in Africa. (E! Online)

+ And as we all pretty much assumed, Amy Winehouse filed papers to permanently park her bony ass in St. Lucia. Do we care?? (NME)

+ Singer Kelis (who is seven months preggers) has filed papers in court to try and squeeze some more money out of her ex-husband Nas. Never mind that she has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry she could sell. eBay it, gurl! For the children! (Bossip)

+ Brooke Hogan has been talking about her mom a lot lately -- and not in a good way! (E! Online)

+ Debunking all those rumors that she is pregnant, Fergie revealed that she put on 17 pounds for a film role with actress Penelope Cruz. (US Magazine)

+ In what seems like a rude-dude move, Katy Perry (real name Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson) has sued an Australian designer by the name of Katie Jane Perry. Who do you think has more of a case? (Agent Bedhead)

+ Oh look! There's media darling Lindsay Lohan Tweeting topless pictures of herself. Thanks, Linz! Seeing that just made gayer than I already am, if that were somehow even possible. (Bitten & Bound)

+ Don't go getting your hopes up, Perez Hilton. Adam Lambert is NOT into you! What's that sound? Oh! It's just Perez getting out his claws. (Parade)
