The remnants of American Idol continue to dominate PopWatch, particularly posts about runner-up Adam Lambert. Seemingly everyone has something to say about the guy (even Clay Aiken). Elsewhere, the usual suspects of Robert Pattinson and The Bachelorette provoked lively reactions from you folks, and rumors of a Buffy movie sans mastermind Joss Whedon proved that show has perhaps the most ardent (and vocal) fan base of any program in recent memory. Here are the 10 stories that lit up PopWatch this week:
10. Missy Schwartz graciously gifted us with leftover snippets from her interview with Idol champ Kris Allen.
9. A friend of Margaret Lyons is watching The West Wing for the first time, and it prompted her to get all nostalgic/jealous and ask: What show do you wish you could see again…for the first time?
8. The machine that is known as Jeff Jensen shared some statue-related knowledge that should hold all Lost fans in thrall until his final column surfaces, in which he’ll tell us what to think about it. Thank God for that.
7. Clark Collis saw Terminator Salvation, and not only understands Christian Bale’s rage, but also just might be done with McG, professionally.
6. As EW’s resident Dancing With the Stars recapper, Annie Barrett is a little petrified that American Idol castoff Danny Gokey may find his way back on the airwaves. Why would she be petrified? Oh, I dunno, maybe because of this.
5. Robert Pattinson walks around without a shirt. Hearts flutter.
4. The Jon & Kate Plus 8 premiere attracted historic ratings. But stories from the show continue to get more depressing. Did Kate really put Jon on a $5 dollar a day allowance? At this point, nothing would surprise us.
3. Chris Harrison blogged about the cocktails, man-bikinis, and the bizarre full-frontal nudity that dominated this week’s episode of The Bachelorette.
2. A Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie without Joss Whedon? Blasphemy!
1. People can’t stop talking about Adam Lambert. Kara DioGuardi fanned the flame of the "is-he-or-isn’t he" discussion on The View, while EW staffer Adam Markovitz wondered whether Lambert is using all of the speculation as a marketing tool. It’s a must-read. Check out Michael Slezak’s interview with the guy, as well as his fuschia-red hair on Idolatry while you’re at it.

I think the highlight of the week with the news of the Buffy movie. Truly shocking indeed.
By the way, why hasn’t EW mention the news about TR Knight.

I was really disappointed by the Terminator film.
But, seeing shirtless pictures of Robert was great.
Anything you are writing or selling about Adam Lambert I am reading and buying. Keep up the good buzz!
Adam lambert is amazing.if u talk bad on him I’ll get u
Adam is so full of himself. No class and certainly arrogant.
Adam is amazing!
I think that the Adam Lambert articles are interesting…there is SUCH a split among American Idol fans…for every positive comment I read about him, I also read a negative one. Personally, I like the guy, and I think he’s talented. But, Kris’s voice is more my taste.
P.S.- the half-naked Rob photos are GREAT.
It’s a shame that that Joss Whedon will not be included, but thank goodness they are even making a movie, I can’t wait. This is a really great top ten list, Anyone can post their own list to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
hey Adam fans, check out http://adamordanny.blogspot.com :]
Adam is the most interesting American Idol contestant I’ve ever run across. There’s just something about him. Kara should shut it though, it’s not her business to make announcements about Adam’s sexuality. She’s just as bad off the show as she is on it.
I’m always starving for more Adam! He’s an amazing talent as well as intelligent, funny and kind.
How about Adam shirtless!!!!!!!!!!!!
forget Robert Pattison, get adam to take his shirt off – he’s gorgeous
patb….In no way is Adam arrogant or full of himself!You really dont know what your talking about!!!!!!!!!!
Adam is the best, ever!
