LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Is Adam Lambert becoming an American Idol judge? An Adam Lambert American Idol judge role is being pursued by producers, insiders report to E! Monday. Adam Lambert and American Idol have been negotiating his return to the show as a judge. But who would Adam replace as a judge on Idol?

American Idol has reportedly been keen on adding the superstar to the show as a new direction is taken in the production. E! sources report that producers believe the show needs to reinvent itself yet again. Reportedly, some criticism has centered upon whether last season’s judges were not critical enough of performers.

One E! source claims Randy Jackson could be let go. “Randy is great, but he’s part of the old Idol. They want to keep the soul of the show but have a new look, and for that reason he may well not be part of the new line up.”

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – The Adam Lambert dispute with Colwel Platinum Entertainment took a new turn earlier this month. Last year, Colwel Platinum Entertainment retained attorney Joseph Golden to bring a lawsuit against Lambert regarding 2007-2008 music tracks. In January, Golden claimed that his client, Colwel, and Lambert were negotiating a possible settlement of the case. But settlement was thereafter not reached. Lambert filed his own response to the suit seeking a jury trial in the matter. LALATE can now report that Golden is no longer representing Colwel, having been replaced by a new attorney Edwin F McPherson.

In January, Golden and Lambert’s attorney agreed in a court document that a possible settlement might be reached. “The parties’ transactional counsel have negotiated and agreed upon the material terms of a settlement of this action of all the claims asserted herein.” They also wrote “The negotiation and agreed upon material terms of that settlement are reflected in a series of emails between said counsel between November 15 and December 21, 2011.”

But ultimately Lambert and Colwel didn’t reach a settlement, as previously reported on LALATE in January. As a result by mid January, Lambert made clear that he would fight the Colwel case. Lambert filed a response to the lawsuit seeking, if he prevails at trial, an award of his costs, disbursements, and attorney’s fees.

But on February 18, the same Colwel counsel that believed a settlement would be reached in January was replaced in the case. Joseph Lee Golden has now been replaced by Edwin F. McPherson.

The lawsuit against Lambert concerns a series of songs that Adam performed between September 2007 and June 2008.  Adam claims that the recordings were made for “demo” purposes only, and that in no way did Adam ever intend his alleged demos to made into an album or sold commercially.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Adam Lambert is not Queen’s new frontman. Adam Lambert is not going on tour with Queen. A published British tabloid report today about Adam and Queen is false, Lambert told news and fans moments ago. Earlier today, LALATE reported skepticism about the report published about the American Idol singer. Now Adam has taken to Facebook to confirm the British tabloid took his words out of context.

In a news statement moments ago, Adam stated “Oooh them clever reporters takin my quotes outta context.” Lambert added “I haven’t confirmed any guest appearances. I was talking about the EMA’S.” Lambert doesn’t mention Queen nor the tabloid that made the false allegation (Daily Star). Lambert later added “That being said, I’m truly flattered by your jump to such glorious conclusions Mr. journalist!!”

Fans reacted to the Lambert news with comments like “the most important thing is that you know what you have said… You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone… Those ones who matter don’t mind, those ones who mind don’t matter.” Another added “Don’t worry Adam some reporters have nothing better to do than make up stuff and they don’t listen not all.”
