"Moulin Rouge" truly was a "spectacular spectacular" when it dropped in 2001. That's why on Monday (May 2) MTV News is remembering the film a decade later with "Moulin Rouge at 10: A Spectacular Spectacular MTV News Event." Director Baz Luhrmann will be on hand to recall making the over-the-top film, which resurrected pop culture's love of musicals. And adding to the many celebrity fans who've described the film's influence on them, Adam Lambert spoke to MTV News about his love for "Moulin Rouge."

I'm in a good mood today, a GREAT mood, actually. One of those moods that laughs at things that I suppose are meant to be offensive but come across with such a measure of hilarity and are so preposterous that one wonders if the person saying such things really thought it through. In the fandom of Adam Lambert, we are exposed to such comments pretty regularly. Words and phrases like "over-the-top", "theatrical", and "flamboyant" are tossed around with the intent of turning us off to him, but in actuality, the opposite happens. In a classic post-Idol interview with EW's Michael Slezak, a smiling Adam himself said, "I deserve an eye roll now and then. I'm kind of ridiculous." We have learned to smile, nod, and shrug right along with him. Yeah, Adam's over-the-top. Yeah, he's ridiculous. Yeah, he's theatrical.
