'Idol' Adam Lambert asks fans to 'give up' birthday for charity
Quote :
The singer, who turned 30 today, took to his Twitter page to tell his followers all about his new charity venture.
He wrote: "Today is my birthday, and for my 30th I'd like you all to help me change the world."
The American Idol star requested that his admirers ditch receiving presents for their own special day and instead put the money toward providing the gift of clean water to those in need.
The ambassador for charity: water explained more about his philanthropic idea in a fan club message.
"It means that when people ask you what you want for your birthday, you tell them that you'd like clean water, and ask them to donate money, 100% of which will directly fund water projects."
The mission statement on the organisation's website explains that "charity: water is a non-profit organisation bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations".
The For Your Entertainment star added: "Wait until you see how amazing it feels, and together, I bet we can raise over a million dollars, which will bring thousands of more people clean water.
Birthday Boy Adam Lambert Talks Hunger Games Appeal, Possible Acting Career

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Adam Lambert earlier this week in Los Angeles, where we chatted about the usual: his new album, Trespassing, it’s awesome first single, “Better Than I Know Myself,” and our mutual obsession with The Hunger Games. Yes, in addition to being handsome and talented, Adam is also a total YA nerd. Stars are just like us, guys!
Adam had no idea that he was a fan favorite to plan Cinna back before the movie was cast. “I definitely identified with the character when I read the books,” he told us, adding, “I think Lenny Kravitz is gonna be rad.” When we pressed him on his allegiance to Team Gale or Team Peeta, Adam told us, “I didn’t know there were teams!” He added, “I think the thing that was really clever about the books is that, much like Twilight, it really divides the two. They’re both really good guys, for different reasons.”
[Let's pause for a brief swoon break over Adam referencing Twilight.]
We also asked Adam if he’d ever given thought to a movie career (cough, the new Les Miserables movie, cough). “Yes, if someone wanted me to do it,” he said. “I grew up doing a lot of musical theater…and I think much of my last album was me playing a character. But I like music so much, and I think singing is kind of my gift, I think. But sure, why not!?”
Byron will now post his videos from the recent interview with Adam in L.A. one at a time starting on the 1st of Feb until the 7th. More details as and when.

Adam Lambert, Trespassing — March 20th
The glam’s been gone for too long, and there’s only one person who can bring it back. As one of the most memorable American Idol performers — he single handedly made the 2009 American Music Awards newsworthy, after all — Lambert’s new single “Better Than I Know Myself” makes us miss that musical theatre-nourished voice more than ever before. We can’t wait to see what the over-the-top star has up his glittery sleeve...... See the full list
