Adam Lambert discusses with Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood at the Grammy Awards

Adam Lambert joined Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood and a host of other music industry heavy hitters on the red carpet for the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday night, but this time he was acting as paparazzi.

Adam Lambert's debut album 'For Your Entertainment' was released too late to be in contention for this year's Grammy Awards, but the American Idol runner up still found a way to be a part of the music industry's biggest night. Lambert scored a gig as red carpet correspondent at the event for Entertainment Tonight.

Adam Lambert dubbed Taylor Swift a "tall Glamazon," called Rihanna "sparkly and incredible" and grilled fellow American Idol alum Carrie Underwood on her wedding inspired mini-dress. Lambert also scored some fashion props of his own from Project Runway host Heidi Klum who dug his "shiny" look.

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards were held at the Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles. The Staples Center has been home to the Grammy Awards since 2004. The 20,000 seat arena was built in 1998 and, in combination with the neighboring 'L.A. Live' venue, is the heart of the downtown Los Angeles district that developers are hoping will become 'Times Square West'. The Staples Center was also the site of this summer's Michael Jackson Memorial Tribute Concert.
