Set to perform at the opening night of the Britain’s Got Talent Tour on Friday in Birmingham, Susan Boyle has “really bounced back” from her hospitalization for exhaustio her brother Gerry tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
“I spoke with Susan last night and she was in great spirits,” he said. “She said to me ‘I’m up to do the show’, so we fully expect her to take the stage tonight and the impression I got was that she was doing very well.”
There were rumors that the songbird would not show-up for the first night after she failed to turn-up for rehearsals but she was spotted arriving in Birmingham in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes.
“Susan has really bounced back after her treatment at The Priory and I’m convinced she will take part in the tour,” Boyle’s brother continued. “But it is important that people realize that this is not just the ‘Susan Boyle Show’ and that they are going to see some other great acts performing too.”
He was also re-assured that the American Idol guru Simon Cowell – who is going to manage his sister’s career – will keep her on track after her recent health set-back.
“I was very pleased to hear what Simon was telling me and I’m convinced that they will look after Susan while coming-up with a plan that will promote her career in the Uk and America too,” Gerry revealed. “The most important thing is that Susan trusts him and she is raring to go and to really launch her musical career.”
The Britain’s Got Talent Tour consists of 23 dates around the UK until July 5, 2009, at which time Boyle is expected to fly over to America for a promotional push which will be orchestrated by Cowell.

Posted on Jun 09, 2009 @ 03:31PM - Add a comment
Clay Aiken is not being axed by the charity he helped co-found despite internet rumors saying so, his uncle confirms to RadarOnline.com. The former American Idol star was supposedly being ditched by The Baubel Aiken Foundation which recently filed papers to change their name to The National Inclusion Project.
“There have been a lot of rumors out there but Clay is very much still involved with this organization,” Jerry Aiken- who works for the charity- said. “Both he and co-founder Diane Baubel will remain on the board of directors and they are committed to the charity. We are simply changing the name to simplify things to a name that represents more of what we are about.”
“A lot of people had problems pronouncing the previous name and hopefully the new title will help us with promoting our cause further. But Clay is still very much part of our future plans too.”
According to local records the foundation has registered themselves with the North Carolina Secretary Of State’s office under the new name The National Inclusion Project, Inc. The original foundation grew out of a relationship between Aiken and Baubel whose son Michael Baubel suffers from autism.

Adam Lambert Reveals Crush On Kris Allen
Posted on Jun 09, 2009 @ 02:45PM - Add a comment
Adam Lambert, the flashy vocalist who finished second on American Idol this season, cleared up months of speculation on his sexuality to Rolling Stone magazine Tuesday, confirming what many had already presumed: he's gay.
But the real bombshell came a little later in the interview when he confessed to harboring feelings for his main competitor on the show!
According to the Today Show, Lambert also told the magazine that he had a crush on (and was often distracted by) eventual winner Kris Allen, the Freddie Prinze Jr.-esque Arkansas native whose victory came as a shocker to many.
Never say never, but Lambert's crush will most likely not be coming to fruition anytime soon. Allen has been married to wife Katy for almost a year, while Lambert is hooked up with interior decorator Drake LaBry.

"I'm an entertainer, and who I am and what I do in my personal life is a separate thing. It shouldn't matter. Except it does. It's really confusing."
Adam Lambert Repeat Offender: Recycles Idol Outfits!
Posted on Jun 08, 2009 @ 04:40PM - Add a comment
Adam Lambert, a world famous runner-up, turned out for the Young Hollywood Awards Sunday evening. While he didn't take top prize on Idol, he did nab a trophy for Artist of The Year!
His outfit, however--we're putting it in the bottom three!
Glambert, as usual, attempted a statement in a custom-made jacket and skin-tight black and gray striped pants (from Melrose Avenue boutique Congregation of the Forgotten Saints). The almost-Idol told bystanders that AI hooked him up with an outfit for his special night. RadarOnline.com, however, tracked down his duds and caught the outrageous artist in a not-so-original ensemble!
He's worn this before! On the show!
The too-tight-for-tv pants graced Lambert during a duet with Allison Iraheta, and the standout blazer for an Idol results show! The "new" Elvis-esque hairdo ain't original either, folks!
Is Lambert's fashion sense simply a product of Idol- prolly not, the wacky styled guy was in dresses and platforms way before he became a singing sensation.
FYI- He wore those clothes in front of millions of viewers! To think we wouldn't notice!
