Leading a guy around on a leash and kissing another was apparently too much for ABC. A rep for the show told TV Newser, "Given his controversial live performance on the AMAs we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning."
Ironically enough, Lambert announced he was gay on "20/20" earlier this year -- which airs on ABC.

TMZ has learned Gaga ordered 80 cheese pizzas for her minions waiting in line for an album signing outside a Los Angeles Best Buy.
Just a couple hours ago Gaga twittered: "Sending all my little monsters little pizzas for waiting all night for me at best buy. I hope you're hungry...eat up I love u!"
Gaga placed the order through a local Papa John's -- and they confirmed 40 pizzas were delivered at 3pm PST today, and 40 more will be delivered at 6. Altogether, the pop star's bill was over $1,000.
For the record, we're told Gaga tipped "very, very well."
Brown was sued by a paparazzo (not ours) back in May. Robert Rosen claimed he fell down a stairwell at an LA Fitness club after being chased by Brown's bodyguards and was then allegedly assaulted.
Brown has just filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- claiming he's not responsible for the injuries because LA Fitness didn't properly maintain and supervise its operation -- we're assuming that means keeping photogs out of the joint.
The incident occurred a month after Brown assaulted Rihanna.
Brown claims ... if Rosen gets a judgment, the cost shouldn't be on his shoulders.
Paula Abdul could barely walk down the AMA red carpet last night ... and it had nothing to do with her state of mind.
The 47-year-old former "American Idol" judge was incapacitated by the train of her Morticia Addams gown and required the assistance of three minions to get her to safety.
Keeping Paula upright is a full time job.

The Victoria's Secret supermodel filed papers early last month asking permission to take on the last name of her husband, Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel -- she was finally given the okay today.
It could have been worse ... she could have changed her name to Heidi Olusegun.
Richie ended up having pneumonia ... and is now being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A., this according to her rep.
Richie's cough-filled testimony on Monday still did the job -- she was granted restraining orders against two paparazzi she claimed caused her to get into a car accident.

Oprah Winfrey insiders tell TMZ Oprah initially planned to announce she was quitting her show earlier than today ... but the decision was delayed for strategic reasons.
We're told Oprah will be making her big announcement tomorrow because it's the last taping day of the show for the rest of the year.
As for the strategic reasons .... one insider says Oprah wants "The Dr. Oz Show" to slip into her time period on ABC when her show goes off the air. We've learned "The Dr. Oz Show" becomes a free agent literally within days of the final curtain for "Oprah." Will ABC buy Oz?
Stay tuned ...

Paris Hilton says her neighbor and cops are mistaken -- she wasn't in the epic driveway fight this morning that sent squad cars rollin' to her house.
Here's Hilton's story: "Doug and I were in bed, sound asleep, when Doug's houseguests from hell got into an argument. We had nothing to do with it. Doug told the LAPD that his guests' fight was over and that we had nothing to do with it."
Ok, sounds credible, except for the neighbor who says he eyeballed Paris in her driveway screaming at BF Doug Reinhardt, and then watched as the two engaged in a mutual shoving match. And then there's the LAPD, who tells us after arriving they actually made Paris get out of bed so they could check for injuries.
Was it Paris? You be the judge.

It happened a few hours ago in the Hollywood Hills. An eyewitness tells us he saw Paris in her driveway and Doug getting in his car, when Paris began screaming, "Don't go, don't go!"
The eyewitness tells us Doug got out of the car and the lovebirds began "shoving each other."
The last the eyewitness saw Paris and Doug go back up the driveway.
According to law enforcement, cops spoke to Paris and left.
David Beckham only wore one shoe out in Los Angeles last night -- because his other billion-dollar foot was wrapped up in a medical boot.
Devastating news for the 8 L.A. Galaxy fans out there who expect Beckham -- and his powerful right foot -- to lead the soccer squad to a championship Sunday afternoon.
So far, it's unclear what's wrong with the foot ... or ankle ... but one thing's for sure -- maybe he shouldn't be carrying the kids around on it?

Attorney Blair Berk went solo in court today -- Ryan wasn't there -- and here's what went down:
UPDATE 9:14 AM PT: The judge just granted the restraining order, ordering Uzomah to stay 100 yards away from Seacrest for three years. He was also ordered not to have contact -- direct or indirect -- with Ryan.
Chidi remains in custody -- he's been charged with felony stalking and two misdemeanor counts of disobeying a prior court order.
UPDATE 9:12 AM PT: The judge has read Ryan's declaration and feels Chidi Uzomah's actions were fairly frightening.
UPDATE 8:58 AM PT: It begins! The judge is on the bench.
German authorities confiscated several items from the home, but would not say where Kayalar was or whether or not he had been charged in Germany.
Kayalar allegedly tried to extort Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber, over a photo of their daughter bound to a chair and gagged.
Kayalar has been charged with one count extortion -- he faces two years in the slammer.
In the documents, filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Dr. Tohme says he was promised a certain fee from Michael if he could locate a company to save Neverland Ranch from foreclosure last year.
Dr. Tohme claims he's the one who brought Colony Capital LLC to the table -- the company T says forked over $23 million to save Neverland. Dr. Tohme wants his cut of the deal -- which he claims is approximately $2.3 million.
In July of 2008, Dr. Tohme also says Michael promised him 15% of the singer's "gross compensation within the entertainment industry" -- but T has no clue how much he's owed for this one.
The doc wants in excess of $2.3 million.
The last plaintiffs standing were the parents of the woman who died in the accident. Brandy already settled with the couple's two kids ($300,000 each). She also settled with the other injured driver, Mallory Ham, back in July.
Terms of the latest settlement are secret.
We've learned the LAPD pulled a car over near the home where Paris Hilton and BF Doug Reinhardt live ... and the officers noticed Paris' gate was open. With the whole Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch string of celeb break-ins, cops wanted to make sure history didn't repeat itself.
We're told police went up Paris' driveway, went into the yard and spoke with someone inside to make sure things were ok.
They were, and police just left the scene.

In the papers, filed by his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, Nas is also asking for joint custody of their two-month-old boy.
Kelis is asking for $72,728 a month -- which means they are now exactly $72,728 apart.
Our sources say Dina Lohan has been contacting Lindsay's lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, ever since LiLo's last court appearance last month.
We're told Dina has asked S.C.H. to go to court on Lindsay's behalf and get an order keeping dad away from daughter. We're told Chapman Holley made it clear ... Lindsay is an adult and can apply for a restraining order if she wants, but Dina has no business in Lindsay's business.
Shawn Chapman Holley told TMZ Lindsay has not -- repeat NOT -- asked her to get a restraining order.
It's pretty clear -- Lindsay can't stand her dad ... at least for now. But she's not taking it to court.
Jessica Simpson is unloading all of the aggression Ashlee may have been storing after her character was axed from "Melrose Place" -- slamming the show for "crap" writing and praising Ashlee as the only thing worth watching.
Just a few hours ago, Jessica unleashed the following message on her Twitter page:
"CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap? i have had bad scripts to work with,but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press."
Bitter? Nasty? Catty? Maybe they cast the wrong sister on the show.

It's all scattered in legal documents which Karen McNeil filed today in L.A. County Superior Court in response to the restraining order Justin asked for -- and got -- after she showed up to his L.A. home.
In the nonsensical ramblings, Karen states that she has been targeted by "Babylon witches" who seek to cast their "evil" on her.
In the docs, Karen also mentions several other famous musicians who have also landed a restraining order against her -- including Axl Rose and the guys from Metallica.
Timberlake had argued that McNeil is an "obsessed mentally unstable celebrity stalker, who [Timberlake] does not personally know."
Last week, a judge granted his request for a restraining order against her.
The preliminary hearing in the Anna Nicole Smith drug case is over -- and a judge decided there was enough evidence for the three defendants to stand trial.
We've learned an LAPD unit arrived to Paris' place sometime before 5:00 AM, but by the time cops showed up, the place was absolutely quiet ... too quiet.
Shockingly, it's not the first time Hilton's been accused of pissing off her neighbors. Back in May, cops rolled over to Hilton's pad twice -- in the same week -- after two major noise complaints.
UPDATE: Sources say Paris was NOT staying at the house last night .. and hasn't been for a while. We're told some friends have been using the house for the past few days while Paris has been at her other home in Beverly Hills.
Miley Cyrus had one hell of a summer -- yesterday officials revealed that a 2nd man was arrested near Miley's Georgia movie set ... but this time the suspect is a 22-year-old soldier who allegedly threatened to murder the actress.
The man in the photo is Sean Christian Mathis -- and in June, cops say he rolled up to Miley's movie set in a t-shirt and swim trunks, saw Miley's stunt double and shouted, "Hey, it's Miley Cyrus, I'm going to f**king kill you."
According to the police report, an officer ran down and arrested Mathis for making "terroristic threats" and disorderly conduct. During the arrest, cops say Mathis informed them he was a soldier -- so the cops called the military police. The MPs then took Mathis back to his base. Yesterday, officials announced they will proceed with the case.
As TMZ reported, a 53-year-old man was busted near Miley's set in August for allegedly attempting to stalk the actress ... but yesterday a grand jury found there was insufficient evidence to pursue felony charges against him in Superior Court.

TMZ has learned Chris Brown has been getting pretty close with a new woman recently -- and this one is a very bad girl.
The woman in the photos is Natalie Nunn, a contestant on the next season of a reality show called "The Bad Girls Club" -- which features women with behavioral issues.
Nunn has been out with Brown a couple times in the last few weeks -- most recently at a roller-skating party on October 16th.
In her bio for the show Nat says she "enjoys cruising in her sugar daddies' expensive cars and painting the town red with her cool celebrity friends."
She has an interesting interpretation of "cool."
UPDATE: Brown just Twittered on the subject: "Tmz..omg.... U guys have nothing better to do. And by the way. I don't mess wit that girl."

The Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch allegedly downloaded photos of Mariah Carey and Rihanna on a computer they used to target celebrity victims.
One of the photos -- obtained by TMZ -- shows Rihanna wearing diamond stud earrings. The Mariah pic shows the singer wearing long, dangling earrings.
There is no evidence the gang burglarized either Rihanna or Mariah. As we first reported, there are pictures of other stars who the Burglar Bunch allegedly did hit, including Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge.
We are putting a gallery together of other celebrities whose photos ended up in the alleged burglar's computer. We'll publish that gallery first thing tomorrow morning.

According to the testimony, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor kept a hidden stash of important medical records pertaining to Anna Nicole at his lawyer's office and at his home. The judge says this could be interpreted as "guilty knowledge" -- or the intention to commit a prohibited act.
Dr. Kapoor has already pled not guilty to illegally supplying Anna Nicole with prescription drugs.
A Georgia grand jury said prosecutors failed to present sufficient evidence against 53-year-old Mark McLeod to support the felony charge -- but he still faces two misdemeanor charges of criminal attempt to commit stalking and disorderly conduct.
McLeod has been in custody since August 4 -- where he remains -- when police arrested him near the set of Miley's movie "The Last Song" for the second time.
According to the police report from McLeod's first arrest, he told officers a number of disturbing things about Miley -- like how he was destined to be with her and how he had "thousands of pictures and letters to Miley on his computer."
In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan, Campbell's former management company, Moodform Mission, claims in 2008, the model suddenly stopped paying them their cut of the profits from Naomi's body fragrance lines.
But Campbell's lawyer, Marty Singer, tells TMZ the whole thing is "ridiculous and absurd."
Singer continues, "The lawsuit is nothing more than a preemptive strike since Moodform knows that my client has substantial claims against Moodform and their principals for millions of dollars for breaching their fiduciary duties among other acts of misconduct."
No word on how much moolah Moodform is lookin' to rake in.
Beyonce and Jay-Z dropped $1200 on lunch at Nello's in NYC yesterday and left a $500 tip ... because they can.
Accompanied by an entourage of about ten bodyguards, we're told the music super tippers ordered white truffles, lobster salad and a bottle of Dom.
Think about that while eating your Mickey D's Happy Meal today.

Liz Taylor saw an advanced screening of the Michael Jackson docu-film "This Is It" last night -- and to say she liked it could be the biggest understatement of all time.
Taylor went to Twitter just moments ago where the star of such Hollywood classics like "Cleopatra," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and a ton of other iconic films wrote the following statement about "This Is It":
"It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen."
Liz continued, "I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again."
UPDATE: Taylor is blasting Tweet after Tweet ... she just referred to Michael as a "modern day prophet."
