Turns out Anna Kendrick told Seacrest on his radio show that she and Lambert "saw each other at party about a year ago and he told me, 'You can't tell anybody but I tried out for American Idol and I got through Hollywood Week.' I was like, 'Okay! You can't tell anybody but I just booked this movie with George Clooney!' We didn't see each other again for a year and finally we saw each other at the Critics' Choice Awards and the SAG Awards. We were like, you know, it's been quite a year for both of us."
Wouldn't that be a trip? Adam Lambert at the Oscars! Hey, if you don't have a date-date to take, a really fun friend is the next best thing.

Anna Kendrick was nominated for a Tony Award (second youngest ever), a Drama Desk Award and Fany Award (best actress featured in a musical) for her performance where she originated the role of Dinah in High Society on Broadway. Her spectacular performance landed her the Drama League and Theatre World Award.
She was a lead performer with Cabaret's Kit Kit Club at Carnegie Hall Live in My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies (1999) (TV). She also had the privilege of working with director Scott Ellis and choreographer Susan Stroman at the New York City Opera House with Jeremy Irons amongst many more celebrity status actors, playing the role of Fredika in "A Little Night Music."
Anna work-shopped Jane Eyre & The Little Princess for Broadway and starred in the feature film Camp (2003) with director Todd Graff. She has been traveling around the world for the premieres. Her manager, Kim Matuka, at Online Talent Group, has been working with her exclusively since the age of 10. " I always knew Anna was special....it just took a little longer for the industry to realize that."
Anna Kendrick, Oscar nominated actress for the hit movie “Up In The Air”, wants Adam Lambert, American Idol runner up, to be her escort for the Oscars. Anna and Adam have known each other for a long time and are friends. It seems these two friends have kept in touch and both have had a fantastic year in the spotlight with Anna landing a role in “Up In The Air” and Adam being runner up in American Idol and also having a hit album. Anna said when asked about taking Adam to the Oscars, “Um, he’s a good time. He’s fun. He’s a really, really fun dude.” What a great way for two new stars, who have been long time friends, to celebrate their new found fame than going together to the Oscars. Anna Kendrick gave a stellar performance in “Up In The Air”, which also stars veteran actor George Clooney, and we hope she wins the “Best Supporting Actress” award
.
Although if she wanted to defect from the mainstream, other similarly dazzling red carpet baubles could also include Rufus Wainwright, the Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, and Brit-pop huckster Will Young, because well,
why not? Sadly, they’d all probably be harder to convince along for the ride.
But do any of these men have any kind of deep intimate connection to Kendrick? The type that may find them and Kendrick watching
Mean Girls on a stormy Sunday night and splitting a
Ritter Sport bar? Probably not. But since when were the Oscars about staying within your comfort zones?
