Oh no she di-in’t. Well, she did. But Adam Lambert had something to say about it.

The “American Idol” alum ripped one of his own fans yesterday, in the middle of a performance, after the girl was caught chatting away on her cellphone while the star was trying to sing, reports TMZ.

Lambert was performing a song for iheartradio in New York when he caught the girl talking. He stopped mid-song and said, “Can you get off you’re phone?! You’re yelling into it … wait, sorry, we’re going to start over.”

Lambert further confronted the fan by saying, “Really?! Dominoes … we deliver!” and continued with, “You’re not watching TV honey … it’s a live show.”

After unsuccessful attempts to unseat both Apple’s iTunes Music Store and iPod music player, Sony Ericsson is going after a market it is already established in by combining two of its current products into one.

Announced yesterday was the introduction of the Sony Ericsson W800 Walkman, the first cell phone to include the Walkman name. The device is expected to go on sale later this year and will include a 512MB storage card, allowing for approx. 120 songs.

Sony is looking to battle the likes of Nokia, who struck a deal with Microsoft, and Motorola, who has already announced iTunes compatible phones.
