Adam Lambert Gets Arrested, Is Released, Lives to Tweet the Tale
Well, if the old adage about any publicity being good publicity is true these days, then Adam Lambert just launched a genius campaign for his new single, "Better Than I Know Myself." According to The Hollywood Reporter and many other sources, the rebel Idol spent a few hours in a Finnish jail in the wee hours this morning, after an altercation with his Finnish boyfriend, Sauli Koskinen, in front of the famous Helsinki gay club Don't Tell Momma. Adam is currently in Finland to celebrate the holidays with Sauli.
Adam and Sauli were arrested around 4am this morning, after reportedly fighting in one of DTM's back rooms, getting kicked out of the club, and then taking what has been described as a "brawl" to the street. They were subsequently held for questioning for several hours, and news of their arrest rapidly flitted around the Twitterverse and blogosphere. But by the time American Glamberts woke up to the news, they could breathe easy: Adam and Sauli had already been released, and Adam was already joking about it on Twitter.
"Jetlag+Vodka=blackout. Us÷blackout=irrational confusion. jail+guilt+press=lesson learned. Sauli+Adam+hangover burgers= laughing bout it," Adam tweeted Thursday afternoon, Finland time.
Sauli, who is a reality star in his native land (he won the Finnish version of "Big Brother" in 2007), later blogged about the incident as well, assuring fans that he and Adam were still a couple by writing (in Finnish): "Celebrities are people too and fame is not easy. Love is not always easy either, but it's forever." He also assured readers that the "hangover is gone already."
While some reports inflated the incident and said that Adam had become violent against spectators who tried to break up the fight, former Miss Helsinki Sofia Ruusila, who was a member of Adam and Sauli's entourage that night, told the press that Adam merely struck her by accident when she tried to intervene.
