There have been rumors swirling that the American Idol alum Adam Lambert, 27, might be going on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Lambert addressed the rumors via his Twitter page, “Oprah: def true,” and word from the Winfrey camp says that Lambert and Winfrey taped their interview Wednesday at the Harpo Studios in Chicago. The show will air Tuesday, Jan. 19.
In the interview, Lambert touched upon Simon Cowell’s announced departure from Idol and its possible ramifications for the show, what life was like for him both pre-Idol and after, and his controversial performance at the American Music Awards.
The singer also performed “Whataya Want from Me” from his new album For Your Entertainment.
Also appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show with Adam: chart-topper Susan Boyle.

Good Morning America canceled Adam Lambert’s performance for the show’s concert series, his rep confirms.
A source says it was due to the American Idol alum’s shocking showcase at Sunday night’s American Music Awards, where he simulated fellatio with a male dancer, kissed his male keyboardist, grabbed his crotch and flipped off the crowd.
“It was due to his performance and actions on stage,” the source says.
In a statement, an ABC spokeswoman said, “Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning.”
The GMA performance was scheduled for tomorrow. Now, the rep for Lambert, 27, confirms he will instead be on The Early Show on CBS.
Complaints poured in to ABC — the network that aired the AMAs and GMA — on Monday about the sexually charged performance of “For Your Entertainment,” his first single off his debut album.
According to the Associated Press, ABC said more than 1,500 people complained, what it termed a “moderate” response, and the Parents Television Council also said it had heard from many upset members.
“They’re outraged,” said Timothy Winters, president of the Parents Television Council. “They just can’t believe the nature of the content, the explicit nature, and how much graphic content there was.”

Adam Lambert caused quite a stir with his racy performance on the 2009 American Music Awards last night, but he isn’t making any apologies.
The “American Idol” alum’s stage show contained all kinds of sexual moves — from simulating oral sex with a male dancer to kissing multiple people on stage- and he says it’s just too bad if some people didn’t appreciate it.
“You know honestly, if I offended some people… it’s apples and oranges. I’m not an artist that does things for every single person,” Lambert said. “I believe in artistic freedom and expression, I believe in honoring the lyrics of a song, and those lyrics aren’t really for everybody either.”
“There’s a big double standard, female pop artists have been doing things provocative like that for years, and the fact that I’m a male, and I’ll be edited and discriminated against could be a problem,” he explained.
Added Lambert, “People are scared and it’s really sad, I just wish people could open their minds up and enjoy things, it’s all for a laugh, it’s really not that big of a deal.”
