Adam Lambert to play Eddie in Fox’s Rocky Horror remake
According to Deadline, American Idol and Glee alum Adam Lambert will co-star in Fox’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show remake, the network’s bid to remind everyone that, hey, Fox was putting on musicals way before NBC dressed Carrie Underwood like a nun and called her an actress. Lambert will play Eddie, the leather-clad, hog-riding rock ’n’ roller portrayed by Meat Loaf in the 1975 cult classic. Lambert joins Laverne Cox as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan as Janet and Brad, Reeve Carney as Riff Raff, and walking six-pack Staz Nair as Rocky Horror.
