'American Idol' winner Kris Allen has said that he doesn't mind runner-up Adam Lambert receiving media attention because he thinks he "totally deserves it".
According to Parade, Allen said: "Adam is definitely one of those people who garnishes media attention."
"He's different, and he's something completely different from 'Idol' and so I think he deserves all that stuff. And for me, I'm totally laid-back and cool."
"Being on the cover of Rolling Stone, he had something to say and they wanted to be the ones to say it. That was his way to do that."
"I don't have any problems with it at all. I think Adam totally deserves it. I don't feel like he's stealing my thunder," he said.
