Adam Lambert and boyfriend arrested

A lovers’ quarrel outside a Finnish gay bar called Don’t Tell Mama ended with the arrest of American Idol star Adam Lambert and his boyfriend, Sauli Koskinen. The fight started in the bar. The Hollywood Reporter says that a female friend tried to get between them and ended up getting slugged. After they were kicked out (don’t tell mama!) the drama continued on the street, where they were both arrested at four o’clock in the morning and held for questioning.

Perhaps Adam should take it easy on the booze. Earlier this year he was reportedly kicked out of Gaga’s birthday party for getting hammered and punching a hole in the ceiling.

Following the incident Sauli wrote on his blog, “Fame is not easy. Celebrities are only human. Love is not easy either, but it is forever. Paparazzi, police stations have back doors, too, go away already.”

Reading between the lines, Sauli is really saying, “Being a fame whore is easy when you’re a trainwreck. Celebrities are not human; they are vodka and botox. Love is easy if you can deep-throat. Forever lasts as long as an American Idol reject — 15 minutes. Paparazzi, we’ll be going out the back door. Meet ya there, boo.”

Following his release, Adam tweeted:”Jetlag+Vodka=blackout. Us÷blackout=irrational confusion. jail+guilt+press=lesson learned.Sauli+Adam+hangover burgers= laughing bout it. :)”
