CBS LANDS LAMBERT AFTER ABC CANCELS GIG

Adam Lambert's racy American Music Awards performance cost him a gig on "Good Morning America," but he will perform live on ABC's morning rival, CBS' "Early Show."

Lambert was to sing today on "GMA," but the network said yesterday it was canceling the openly gay singer because "we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning." While singing at the awards program on Sunday, Lambert kissed a male keyboardist, fondled a dancer and had another dancer briefly stuff his face in Lambert's crotch.

The glam rocker finished second on "American Idol" this spring.
