Tom Jones and Elvis Presley never had to go through this: overzealous “American Idol” fans have shown their adoration for contestant Adam Lambert by throwing sex toys onto the stage, Lambert told Kristin Dos Santos of E Online.

"It's going further, and somebody threw onstage a red-leather tasseled whip … then the next night, I got one that was made out of, like, purple fur. It's getting really S&M," Lambert is quoted as saying.

"It interesting," he adds. "I got some glow-in-the-dark handcuffs. It's really getting creative. It's exciting. I think they really want me to play with these toys during the number. I'm glad it was a soft material and wasn't anything hard. I'm not really into S&M."
