 Adam Lambert: A fan of Johnny Weir
Some of the Canadian broadcasters might not be sold on U.S. Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir - but "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert is a fan of the colorful athlete.
"I'm glad he's a trailblazer", Adam recently told Access Hollywood about the skater who placed sixth at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in Men's Figure Skating.
Popular singer Adam Lambert, who is known for his own outlandish performance theatrics and extravagant costumes, said he's glad to see Johnny being true to himself.
"He's comfortable in his own skin, clearly," Adam continued. "And he's expressing himself. I think that's what art's all about."
Lambert said it goes with the trailblazer territory, as for the flack that Johnny has received from some in the press.
"Whenever you do something that hasn't really been done...You're going to get love," Adam said, adding, "[And] you're going to get hate."
When an Access Hollywood correspondent caught up with the headline-making skater in Vancouver, he responded to the comments of two Canadian critics, who made homophobic remarks. One even asked if the skater's gender should be tested.
"Every little boy should be so lucky as to turn into me," Johnny told Dorothy without batting an eyelash. "And that's all I have to say."
