When I woke up this morning I was hit with a powerful thought: cherish this moment because I don't know what the rest of the day's going to be like. I walked outside, sniffed the crisp ocean air, then started my typically hectic day: answered emails from Fender Guitars, Irvine Welsh, Avicii, The Grammys (my label Sumthing has the 1st video game soundtrack ever nominated), Anita Baker, Simian Mobile Disco, and one of the funniest dudes on the planet Russell Peters. I took my medication - some of you may not know that I've had an aggressive battle with cancer - then I wolfed down breakfast. When I say, "I don't take life for granted," it's not hyperbole. Death has jumped on and off me like "Fire jumps off Jim Brown." ~Richard Pryor I celebrate life every day and today I had good reason to celebrate. My charity the We Are Family Foundation announced many of the artists for our upcoming gala. This year's gala has suffered many setbacks - from Hurricane Sandy, venue rescheduling problems, to a number of unforeseen deaths of close friends. Our modus operandi is: we try and give the most with whatever resources are available to us. As I was counting my blessings I recognized our greatest resources are our people. They give when they don't have to which never ceases to amaze me. Some of this year's amazing people are our Unity Award Honoree Adam Lambert (who came to international prominence on the highly rated TV show American Idol), Taylor Dayne, Kathy Sledge (the voice of the song We Are Family), Grandmaster Melle Mel, Anita Baker, CHIC and uber comedian, MC, and turntablelist Russell Peters, guaranteeing yet another incredible show after eleven years. The great many people who selflessly help us in our mission to try and help make this world a little better for those that don't have it as well as some of us are my American Idols!

Nile Rodgers: We Are Family Foundation to honor @AdamLambert on Jan 31 - This may be our biggest gala celebration ever! Tickets Information: http://wearefamilyfoundation.eventbrite.com/
Adam Lambert is a style and hair chameleon! Glamberts unite! American Idol contestant and pop super star Adam Lambert changes his style as often as he can, and he just won’t stop! Take a look at Lambert through the years from his AI days to now.
All American - Adam has an adorable side! Remember when we first met him on American Idol Season 8? He’s all smiles in the photo with a more natural look. This was before we knew him as “Glambert.”
Business Casual - Adam channels Ferris Beuller in a more relaxed snap of the star. Can’t forget about the shades! Adam’s a little more grown up here, as he walks the red carpet in style.
American Idol - Adam looks in his element as he pounds out one of his hits with highlights and a more casual look. Notice the yellow polish. Adam loves taking risks with his fashion and style, and always finds a way to push the envelope. The polish adds just the right flare.
Most Futuristic - Adam channels the future in this getup with over sized glasses and highlighted tips. His shoulder pads add a broader look to the star. His style changes so quickly it’s hard for us to keep up!
Silver Fox - Adam sits front row as he looks onto the runway with his classic look, and trendy grey hair.His white short sleeve tuxedo inspired top pair perfectly with his newly gray hair and blue eyes. Sophisticated!
Fur Real -This is fur-real! Adam’s style is red hot in this fiery red fur top as heperforms one of his hits.
Cutest Couple - Adam Lambert and Kelly Rowland work it on stage as Adam sports a more modern look in a splatter crop jacket and heavy chain necklace.
In a recent interview with Music Week, British songwriter Steve Robson talked about co-writing Christina Aguilera‘s duet with Blake Shelton, “Just A Fool.” Robson revealed that the song was initially pitched to Pink, but then Adam Lambert recorded a version. Lambert’s version was scrapped from his album “at the last minute,” before making its way over to Xtina. Oh, to hear that Lambo take!
