Adam Lambert dances, gropes his way to controversy

Adam Lambert, second place finisher on season eight of "American Idol" put on quite the performance at the 2009 American Music Awards on Nov. 22.

Lambert busted out some of the crazy vocals he was known for on the show, but also went a bit further than he ever did on idol. Several of his dancers were dressed in leather and one was on a leash. Lambert put a dancer's face into his crotch and simulated a sexual act that caused caused ABC to cut to an overhead shot of the audience and kissed a male dancer.

First a marriage, now a show: "Jon and Kate Plus 8" officially over

After much speculation of the show ending, or being called "Kate Plus 8" instead, the series finale of “Jon and Kate Plus 8” finally aired on Nov. 23. TLC gave the show a one hour time spot from 9-10 p.m.

The show opened with Kate talking about the fact that the children got to do and see things they otherwise wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for the show. She seemed very grateful for the show and also very sad to see that it was ending. She said her goals are different than Jon’s and her number one priority is and always will be her children. Kate said that she is stronger than she ever thought possible and now knows who her true friends are. She never envisioned how the show would end, but she thinks it ending now is too soon. She also mentioned the fact that the children do not know about Jon's girlfriend.

Jon spoke of the fact that he met Kate when he was 20, got married at 22, had children at 23 and only felt free after the divorce. He admitted that he still has some growing up to do, takes some of the blame now and will be there for the children no matter what.
