Ryan Seacrest says he supports Adam Lambert’s decision to come out. 

The American Idol host was asked about Lambert as he left a restaurant opening in Los Angeles Wednesday night.  Seacrest said, “I think it’s good because he can be the guy he is.”   Ryan added,  “He’s cool… I like him.”

On a lighter note, when Seacrest -ever playful with paps — was asked if he’d buy Lambert’s c.d.,  he quipped: “Hopefully, I can get it for free.”
