Lorenzo Zanirato - Life and thoughts

NEW YORK - WILL he, will he rock you? Adam Lambert won't rule out a stint as the new frontman of Queen. The legendary band has expressed interest in employing the 'American Idol' runner-up's formidable vocal skills, and Lambert is a big fan of the group once fronted by the late Freddie Mercury. But the 27-year-old California native said in an interview Tuesday that he'd feel torn about joining the band. 'That's a tough question because, honestly, how do you say no to being in Queen?' said Lambert, sporting his trademark dark nail polish and blue-streaked hair. 'I mean, that's unbelievable. But at the same time, I do have my own thing to do right now, and that's my goal. So if I could, I would try to do both. That's the honest question. I would try to do both. I would love to perform with them anytime they wanted me to but I also have my record to do. So, we'll see....

LOS ANGELES - THE finale of US television's reality show 'American Idol' ended in a shock upset on Wednesday as a clean-cut underdog defeated a glam-rocker seen as the overwhelming favourite. In a result that stunned viewers of the singing contest that has become a pop-culture phenomenon, Kris Allen, a 23-year-old from Arkansas edged out Adam Lambert, a quirky, make-up-wearing actor-singer from California. US media had hyped the showdown as a smackdown between contestants from conservative 'red states' in the shape of Allen, versus the liberal attitudes of 'blue states' personified by the flamboyant Lambert. An estimated 100 million viewers dialed in votes to settle the contest following a special on Tuesday where both singers performed a series of songs. Wednesday's finale saw guest performances from stars such as Rod Stewart, Cyndi Lauper, Carlos Santana and the Black Eyed Peas. Allen went back to his country roots in a performance alongside Keith Urba...

BUCHAREST : British band Depeche Mode announced Thursday it was cancelling four additional concerts in Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia, amid fears over frontman David Gahan's health. "Depeche Mode have been forced to cancel a further four shows on their Sounds of the Universe tour due to further complications from singer Dave Gahan's severe bout of gastroenteritis," the band announced on its website. "Dave is currently undergoing further tests," it added. The band had been due to perform in Bucharest, Sofia, Belgrade and Zagreb between May 16 and 21. The concerts could still be rescheduled at a later date, it said. Depeche Mode, one of Britain's most successful and longest-lived bands, already cancelled long-awaited gigs in Greece and Turkey this week after Gahan was rushed to hospital shortly before going on stage. - AFP/il

YANGON - MYANMAR democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi was driven from her house to prison on Thursday to face charges over a US man who swam across a lake and spent two days at her home last week, witnesses said. A convoy containing her car and several police vehicles swept out of the 63-year-old's lakeside residence in the main city of Yangon just after 7.00am (0030 GMT, 8.30am Singapore time), they said. Heavy security was in place and police sealed off the road to the house. Witnesses said about 15 minutes later Aung San Suu Kyi's car entered the notorious Insein prison on the outskirts of Yangon, where she is due to appear in court in connection with the incident involving the American. Her party earlier said she was expected in court at 10.00am. US national John Yettaw was detained by police in the military-ruled nation last week for gaining uninvited access to the 63-year-old Nobel Laureate's off-limits lakeside residence in Yangon and s...

BEICHUAN, China: Gong Guilin lost both his legs in last year's massive Sichuan earthquake. Now he dreams of becoming a Paralympic tennis player. One year after the quake struck, hope is slowly returning to Gong's life, as it is for millions of other survivors, but for many the will to move on is mixed with a sense of indelible grief. "I like tennis best, but I play basketball and like riding the bike," Gong, 20, said, showing off his new artificial legs. "My goal is to go to college. I want to participate in the All China Handicapped Games and then advance to the International Paralympics." But on the eve of the first anniversary of the quake, the tragedy still haunts the survivors of the 8.0-magnitude quake in this mountainous region in southwest China's Sichuan province.
