Adam LambertWell, it's official.  Adam Lambert is now openly gay.

In other related news, the sky is blue.

Here's the scoop:

Adam Lambert finally confirms his sexuality in the new issue of Rolling Stone (on stands tomorrow).

"I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay," the American Idol runner-up says.

Look back at the Season 8 Idol's finale most unforgettable moments.

"I'm proud of my sexuality," continues the rocker, who was photographed holding hands with interior designer Drake LaBry earlier this month. "I embrace it. It's just another part of me."

Well, now that it's official, I'm wondering a few things.  (1) Did American Idol producers ask him to keep quiet about his sexuality during the season?  And (2) If they didn't, would it have made a difference if Adam Lambert would have been completely open during the show?

Either way, I know what magazine I'll be buying at the newsstands tomorrow...
