Just as Kanye West and Naomi Campbell were setting up for a quick snap at the Cannes gala for amFar, '80s pop star and former Culture Club frontman Boy George must've just happened to walk by and decided that he, too, should be in the picture -- so he jumped in the middle of the shot at the last minute.

At least, that's what it looks like. Man, Georgie is awesome! Who does that? The "Karma Chameleon" (and real life Auntie Mame figure) hasn't done a whole in the last couple years -- other than serve community service and lend guest vocals to Mark Ronson's stellar Record Collection album -- but if this picture is anything to go by, we believe he has a bright future ahead of him in photobombing.

Check out some of our favorite Boy George photobombs, including the time he showed up at the arraignment of Jack Ruby:

Or when he was lurking around Times Square after World War II:

Or, last of all, when he starred in Titanic:

We salute you, Mister George. Keep on keeping on and never give up on getting in that photo -- no matter what.

When Adam Lambert isn't busy hanging out with Boy George or making out with Ke$ha, he's doing what he does best -- performing.

It wasn't so long ago that Glambert visited the VH1 studios and delivered a stripped-down "Unplugged" performance of songs like "Mad World," originally recorded by Tears For Fears, and "Music Again," off Adam's album For Your Entertainment. He even took the time to explain the inspiration behind his newest single, "Whataya Want From Me," as seen in the video below.

For a closer look at Adam's performance, check out our exclusive flipbook and be sure to watch the interview below.

Plus, in case you were wondering, that is former Yellowcard drummer Longineu W. Parsons III banging the skins. I know, I know ... You can sleep much easier tonight knowing that tidbit of information.

Shame on me for sleeping on La Roux (that's a figure of speech -- I didn't actually sleep ON TOP of the British electropop twosome Elly Jackson and Ben Langmaid for an electropop threesome) up until a few weeks ago. And it turns out I was like the ONLY one asleep at the keyboard because they've opened for Lily Allen, The Guardian is all over them, they just played All Points West this past weekend, and they got a Mercury Award nomination.

If you're into Robyn (and I AM!) and/or Yelle and miss '80s androgynous powercrossdressing -- think "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?"-era Boy George meets M.I.A. (meets Tilda Swinton), La Roux will make this your SUMMER OF ELECTROPOP. And TRUST: "Bulletproof" will be in your head for A MONTH. AT least. Of course, that could be because I've listened to this song about once every 15 minutes for the past week.

Watch La Roux's live performance of "Bulletproof" from yesterday's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.

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.

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"
