Adam Lambert made his name on the hit American television show "American Idol" and although he didn't win the competition, he didn't let that stop him.

Adam Lambert is your Connector of the Day.

The openly gay singer and songwriter has so far released his debut album called "For your Entertainment" and has already won artist of the year from the Young Hollywood Awards.

Lambert has also won the choice male in a reality show from the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.

The album also debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 selling nearly 200,000 copies in the first week.

However, although Lambert has achieved a great deal of success, his career hasn't been completely free of controversy.

During a performance of "For your Entertainment" at the 2009 American Music Awards, Lambert was seen kissing a male keyboardist as well as grabbing the crotch of another male dancer.

The ABC network received over 1,500 telephone complaints and Lambert was quoted as saying in "Rolling Stone" that "female performers have been doing this for years—pushing the envelope about sexuality—and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out."

"We're in 2009—it's time to take risks, be a little more brave, time to open people's eyes and if it offends them, then maybe I'm not for them. My goal was not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom."

Here's your chance to ask singer Adam Lambert your questions.

Talk about getting your big break - in less than one year 16-year-old Justin Bieber went from uploading home-made music videos on YouTube to becoming the world's biggest teen pop star.

Justin Bieber is your Connector of the Day.

The Canadian who was born in Stratford, Ontario taught himself how to play the guitar, piano and trumpet from an early age and in early 2007 he placed second during a singing competition where he sang Ne-Yo's "So Sick".

Bieber began uploading his singing videos on YouTube and was soon discovered by music manager Scooter Braun.

Soon after being discovered by Braun, Bieber was a hot commodity in the music world and soon Usher and Justin Timberlake were in competition to have him signed.

Bieber eventually chose to work with Usher and with the help of the r&b artist, released his first single in July of 2009 titled "One Time".

The song was certified platinum in Canada and the United States and reached gold status in Australia and New Zealand.

His first album called "My World" was an instant hit and Bieber has even personally performed for people including President Barack Obama.

In only a short time, Bieber has left his mark on the pop culture landscape - his name is constantly one of the most popular topics on Twitter and his public appearances have been marred by thousands of screaming fans who sometimes get a bit out of control.

On Thursday, the leaders of the three main parties in Britain take part in a crucial televised election debate on the economy. It will be the final debate before the May 6 election.

Who will make it to No 10 Downing street?

The race has narrowed after nearly three weeks of campaigning and Conservative leader David Cameron and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg are locked in a dead heat.

Labour leader Gordon Brown though is still very much in the race and is only trailing a few points behind in opinion polls.

However, after Brown's 'bigot' gaffe on Wednesday, it is unclear how that will affect him at the polls.

We want to know what you think of the debate. Who are the winners and losers? Who do you think will win the general election next week?

The U.S. Coast Guard is dealing with potentially one of the worst environmental disasters in history as a large oil slick drifts into ecologically sensitive areas off the coast of Louisiana .

One of the many dangers of off shore drilling.

Coast Guard officials are even considering setting the massive 80 mile oil slick on fire to try and contain some of the damage and prevent the crude oil from spreading.

Oil is still leaking at a rate of about 42,000 gallons a day from the well, located some 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana. A drilling rig, the Deepwater Horizon, exploded and sank at the site last week.

BP, the well's owner, has been trying to shut off the well using eight remote-controlled submarines, but has had no luck up to this point.

"If we don't secure the well, this could be one of the most serious oil spills in U.S. history," Coast Guard Rear Admiral Mary Landry, head of a joint response task force, said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

The Coast Guard stressed it would never set the entire spill on fire at once. It would instead use a 500-foot-long, flame-retardant boom to gather some of the oil and then burn only the crude inside its perimeter, according to spokeswoman Lt. Sue Kerver.

This disaster is only weeks after President Barack Obama announced that he would open up parts of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean to oil and natural gas drilling.

The plan includes lifting a 20-year ban on drilling off the Virginia coastline as well as conducting seismic tests to test the viability of off-shore drilling locations in parts of the Atlantic and Gulf.

We want to know what you think.

In light of the latest disaster in the Gulf of Mexio that has the potential to become the one of the worst environmental disasters, should off-shore drilling be completely banned? What steps should be taken to make sure an oil spill like this doesn't happen again?

The axis of the automotive world has shifted east.

How powerful has China become?

Forget Detroit and the troubles that have beleaguered U.S. automakers. While the global auto market has contracted through the financial crisis, vehicle sales in China have soared - with Chinese sales eclipsing the U.S. as the world's top auto market for the first time.

The importance of China to global automakers is evident at Auto China 2010 in Beijing. The show, which runs through May 2, is the stage from which automakers from Japan, North America, Europe and China have unveiled 89 new models.

The World Bank has also just agreed to increase the voting power of China, giving it more clout than the major European powers like Germany, France and the United Kingdom individually.

In terms of voting power, China has a 4.42 percent, just behind the United States and Japan.

While many western countries struggle to recover after the recession, China has been able to continually post startling growth rates.

Early last year, China posted a gross domestic product growth of 8.7 percent.

We want to know what you think.

Has China become the world's main economic superpower?

The London marathon is truly one of the greatest races of all time. I’m a person that loves a challenge and I certainly love an adventure and my race yesterday was certainly that.

Krsna Harilela at the end of the London marathon.

The first half of the race was fine. At the half way point I thought I'd pick it up a bit - I was feeling great so I thought why not?

Then mile 17 came. My stomach full of sickly sweet sports drink and candy got caught up in a wave of nausea and I made for the next set of toilets.

At that point I knew my chances of hitting my time target were out the window... so what do you do? Just jog along and enjoy it.

It wasn’t easy to get my legs going again, but once I did, the experience totally changed for me. I ran past a bottle of London Pride, chased a banana and got overtaken by Sherlock Holmes!

I talked to people, patted them on the back and strangers encouraged me whenever I stopped. London became a melting pot of human kindness and that was the best place to be... all of us putting our body through this hell but all for a good cause!

To the amazing runners I met along the way - WELL DONE! To the soldiers running with the 26lbs on their back - I salute you - and to those who fought illness to be there yesterday I honor you for your courage.

The war wounds are worth it and lessons were learned. Putting on my pajamas took as long as my last mile (long). I inherited my first black toe nail (which kinda makes me feel like a tough-guy), but the bling of the medal just makes all that fade and has put the silliest grin on my face.

I will take 4:28:17 for my first marathon, thank you very much!

I will take pride in the knowledge that I'm 0.1% of the population that completes a marathon in their lifetime.

And I will always remember the day I started my journey leaving my flat alone but ended with well over 36, 000 runners.

Now to put my feet up and rest.

Pope Benedict XVI will not call off a trip to Great Britain despite a leaked Foreign Office memo that made "foolish" suggestions about things he could do while there, the pope's spokesman reiterated.

Should the pope's visit to the UK go ahead?

• No

"As far as the Vatican is concerned, the case is closed. There never was the slightest doubt about the trip," the Rev. Federico Lombardi told CNN.

The British government apologized over the weekend for the Foreign Office memo suggesting that the pope could launch Benedict-brand condoms or bless a gay marriage when he visits the United Kingdom later this year.

The memo also includes suggestions that the pope ordain a female priest or launch an abortion clinic - both of which are forbidden by Roman Catholic doctrine.

Many of the ideas in the document are "clearly ill-judged, naive and disrespectful," the Foreign Office said in a statement Sunday, which referred to the memo as "foolish."

The writer of the memo "has been transferred to other duties. He has been told orally and in writing that this was a serious error of judgment," the Foreign Office said.

We want to know what you think. Was the memo meant as a joke? When does a joke go too far? How should the writer of the memo be disciplined?
