CBS has finally offered an explanation for Wednesday morning's double standard in which they blurred out Adam Lambert kissing another man yet aired Madge and Britney's kiss uncensored.

The statement from the CBS rep reads:

"We gave this some real thought. The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times including many times on morning television. The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated, and for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences."

That's the best they could come up with?????

It still doesn't excuse their blatant homophobia and sexism!

Thoughts???

We're disgusted by CBS and this double standard!!!!!!

As we previously mentioned, Adam Lambert appeared on CBS' The Early Show on Wednesday morning to address the controversy surrounding his kiss at the AMAs.

But!

The network blurred out the image of Glambert kissing his band member even though moments later CBS aired the clip of Madonna and Britney making out at the VMA's completely uncensored.

How is this okay???????

The early numbers are in, and Susan Boyle's first-week U.S. album sales are projected even higher than before!

SuBo's I Dreamed A Dream is expected to sell 550,000 copies this week - 50,000 more than what Billboard previously thought!

You go, SuBo!

And congrats to GaGa, who is expected to come in at #2 this week in first week sales by pushing an impressive 350,000 copies of The Fame Monster (200,000 copies of the EP and 150,000 copies of the deluxe version of the album)!

Glambert rounds out the top three with the expected sales of his debut album, For Your Entertainment, projected at being 225,000 by the week's close.

Impressive!

After his performance on Good Morning America tomorrow was abruptly canceled by ABC after his controversial performance at the AMAs, Adam Lambert was interviewed by Ryan Seacrest on the ordeal.

Here are some HIGHlights:

On the AMAs performance:
"It's choreography, we were dancing. The sexuality of it kind of got a little more extreme when I got up on stage. I think the adrenaline kind of took me over, and I admit it, and i'm proud of the fact that I did get a little carried away. It's just the fact that I'm me and it's a little different for people. It's really not that big of a deal. I'm not a babysitter, I'm a performer."

On the double standard for male and female performers:
"I don't feel I owe anyone an apology for anything. I performed, it was late night TV, I did something that female performers have been doing for years, no different. I do think there's a slight double standard. We've seen female pop performers doing extremely sexual routines for years and all of the sudden a guy does it and it's crazy."

On the cancellation of his GMA concert:
"Obviously I respect their decision, they gotta do what they gotta do. It's too bad, I think there were a lot of fans who were excited to come see me. They probably had a lot of pressure coming at them from certain people who weren't happy about it. I respect their decision - I don't necessarily agree with it, but they need to do what they need to do."

Spoken like a real class act!

We're looking forward to seeing Glambert tomorrow on The Early Show, which booked Adam after GMA cancelled!

Why didn't they release this as the first single?????

It's a hit!!!!

We just bought the new Adam Lambert album and are in LOVE with his song If I Had You.

Produced and written by the genius that is Max Martin (the man behind Britney's biggest hits), the song is pure pop perfection.

Radio will love this song - and U will too!

Enjoy it below.

Sources confirm exclusively to PerezHilton.com that ABC has cancelled Adam Lambert's planned performance on Good Morning America tomorrow.

No official reason has been given for the cancellation.

Translation: The network is upset with Lambert's homoerotic American Music Awards performance on Sunday and afraid of what he will do on live, morning television.

BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!

Would all of this be happening if Lady GaGa made out with one of her female musicians or shoved one of her female dancers in her crotch???

Hell no!!!!!

But, don't stress for Adam, sources tell us he's going to be appearing on ANOTHER morning show tomorrow - The Early Show on CBS - and his song Whata Ya Want From Me has just been added to Z100 in NYC. A huge coup for the Idol alum!

At the end of the day, though, there is no such thing as bad press. All this publicity - which Glambert was hoping for but could never imagine would reach this scale - will only help him!

Although many people loved Adam Lambert's performance Sunday night at the American Music Awards, many conservatives have their panties in a bunch.

Lambert performed his latest single, For Your Entertainment, which included simulating oral sex with a male dancer, making out with one of the male band members and plenty of crotch grabbing.

And according to ABC, over 1,500 people have called to complain about the performance.

Though ABC has classified the response as "moderate."

Others have taken to online forums to bash Lambert's performance.

Wonder how much backlash MTV received when Britney Spears and Madonna had their infamous kiss?

Oh wait, people were loving it!
