Melissa Etheridge predicted this would happen.

She spoke as if she were reading a crystal ball when we chatted at the American Music Awards before Adam Lambert's controversial sex-charged performance.

We asked Ms. Etheridge what advice she'd give to the out and proud 27-year-old glam rock Idol star. Little did we know that her well-seasoned words were a foreshadowing of things to come later that night...

When little Chastity Bono wished television audiences a good night and God bless more than 30 years ago, who knew she'd look so dapper in a suit?

Now Chaz Bono, the daughter son of Cher and Sonny Bono gave his first live interview since beginning the process of becoming a man eight months ago. Some of his thoughts were downright enlightening.

"To me, gender is between your ears, not between your legs," he tells Chris Cuomo on Good Morning America. "I've felt male as far back as I can remember. As a child, it was really clear. I felt like a boy."

He goes on to explain why being a lesbian is just the "simple answer" for him.

Kellan Lutz isn't too worried about the discovery of a photo of him and Peter Facinelli holding hands.

"That one is fine," Lutz told me with a laugh at the New Moon premiere. "It's the naked one of us in the bubble bath that would really get us into trouble."

If only Mr. Lutz was serious. But obviously, he's not...

Alec Baldwin may have admitted to my pals over at Entertainment Weekly that he used an "ass double" for a naked scene in It's Complicated, his upcoming flick with Meryl Streep, but he should know there are people out there who would like to see the real thing.

Like 30 Rock's new hunkster Cheyenne Jackson.

"I'd look at that," Jackson, a Broadway musical star who makes his debut on the NBC comedy tonight as TGS' new castmember Danny Blake, tells me. "Alec Baldwin is incredibly sexy. He's an alpha male."

That doesn't mean the openly gay Jackson wants Baldwin in a biblical sense…

Kris Allen says there's no need to worry about Adam Lambert after his split from boyfriend Drake LaBry.

"He's doing good," the American Idol winner, 24, told us yesterday at the People's Choice Awards nominations announcement. "He's obviously not completely happy about it, but I think it was just something that needed to happen."

As for any competition brewing between Allen and Lambert...

Just Call America's Next Top Model's Miss J "Daddy!"

Typically, the only bombshells on The Tyra Banks Show come in the form of leggy models and busty babes.

We doubt anyone was expecting America's Next Top Model judge "Miss J" Alexander to drop one when he appeared on the show yesterday. Especially not this one.

"I'm a dad," he revealed.

However, his 7-year-old son, Boris, is not his child biologically.

Both he and his ex-boyfriend, Alex, were approached to help a woman get pregnant.

"A French lesbian had asked if we would be sperm donors," he said. "So we thought, 'OK, you want me to do you?' And she was like, 'Oh, I'm not that talented.' So I said, 'OK fine.' So we did a little test tube."

After three tries, the woman gave birth to light-skinned Boris, who is clearly Alex's son.

"I said, 'Oh, Lord. Thank God. No child custody hearings—he's yours," Miss J laughs, although he is still an active part of the child's life.

"Boris" isn't too bad. What do you think are the Weirdest Celebrity Baby Names?

Derek Hough: I'm Not Gay, Though I Almost Played One on TV

It's good to know that Derek Hough can laugh at all those rumors that he's gay.

So much so that he was thisclose to playing a gay character "in a funny little scene" with Courteney Cox on her new hit ABC series Cougar Town. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it because of his Dancing With the Stars schedule.

"It would have been perfect," Hough said. "With all the rumors going around, I thought it would be really funny because it's just not true. But I was like, you know what? If that's what you want to see."

Not so funny, however, was Hough's recent battle with the flu...

Rosie O'Donnell Thinks She and Angelina Jolie Almost Happened

How does one choose between Brad Pitt and Rosie O'Donnell?

We're not sure we know (or want to know), but, at some point, Angelina Jolie was faced with that conflict. At least, according to Rosie.

The talk show icon blabbed to Howard Stern on Sirius XM radio about a time before she was married to Kelli Carpenter and Angelina had tied the knot with Billy Bob Thornton. A romance, she claimed, was a-bloomin'.

"She gave me her phone number," Rosie said. "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through."

Fear got the best of Rosie and she wasn't able to seal the deal.

"I was a little afraid of her," she said. "She's scary in a sexual kind of way. I have dreams about her a lot still."

We'd say "TMI," but our jaws are still on the floor.

The erstwhile Lara Croft isn't the only bone the flower picked during the interview. She also offered some insight into the rocky state of affairs of her marriage, as well as her thoughts on the relationship between Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King.

Watch Out, Balki: It's Risky Business to Accuse Tom Cruise of Homophobia

Tom Cruise Fame Pictures

Turns out Balki Bartokomous is kinda bitter.

Tom Cruise was not only the "biggest bore on the face of the Earth" on the set of Risky Business, according to Bronson Pinchot, but Cruise, who was then pre-superstar status, also "made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments" to him.

"It was like, 'It's a nice day, I'm glad there are no gay people standing here.' Very, very strange," said Pinchot in a lengthy interview with The A.V. Club. The 50-year-old actor made his feature-film debut in Risky Business but is far better known for playing goat-herder Balki on the sitcom Perfect Strangers and gallery receptionist Serge in Beverly Hills Cop—and, of course, for his stint on The Surreal Life.

Pinchot also had singular memories of Denzel Washington ("one of the most unpleasant human beings I’ve ever met in my life"), Eddie Murphy ("very low-spirited, low-energy" on the set of Beverly Hills Cop III) and Bette Midler (she was a "such a bitch" to First Wives Club director Hugh Wilson).

Tom Hanks, however, is "a wonderful and genuine and lovely and down-to-earth person." (A likely story.)

But did Cruise, who if not always the picture of gravitas is at least reputed to be a real salt-of-the-earth type, really make nasty comments to his costar 26 years ago?
