Adam Lambert to Escort Anna Kendrick to the Oscars?
According to the Twitter account of Ryan Seacrest, The New York Times reports, ABC viewers may get another healthy dose of Adam Lambert, as he is a potential date for Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick (Up In The Air) to the Academy Awards this year.
Writes Seacrest on his twitter:
Talked to @annakendrick47...she's been buds with @adamlambert since 18. She might take him to the Oscars...about 2 hours ago from Ubertwitter
Lambert's last experience with ABC, which will broadcast the Oscars, occurred earlier this year on the American Movie Awards. Following a risque performance at the ceremony, in a controversial move, the network cancelled Lambert's subsequent appearances on ABC programs.
Adam Lambert first got the attention of the nation last year during the eighth season of AMERICAN IDOL, for which he was the runner-up. His wide vocal range and unique musical style has helped Lambert land high on the Billboard charts with multiple debuts on the Hot 100 and the Hot Digital Songs charts. His first album, For Your Entertainment (19 Recordings/RCA), recently debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Charts with 198,469 albums sold in the first week. Lambert additionally recorded the soundtrack "Time for Miracles" for the disaster movie 2012, released on October 20, 2009 as a side project single. The song also appears on For Your Entertainment. Lambert recently participated in the American Idols LIVE! Tour 2009 with his fellow Top 10 contestants. He is the recipient of the Young Hollywood Award for Artist of the Year and the Teen Choice Award for Reality/Variety Star. Barbara Walters also named him one of the 10 most fascinating people of 2009.
As an actor, Lambert appeared in WICKED twice, once with the touring company in March 2005 for a six month contract, and then opening in the sitdown Los Angeles production in February 2007 and remaining with the show until October 2008. For both engagements in Wicked,he was a member of The Ensemble and understudied the role of Fieryo, the show's love interest.
The Oscars will take place on March 7, 2010. For a complete list of nominees, click here.
