Alex Lambert leaves If I Can Dream House, Fansite Closes

MJ from MJ's Big Blog posted a link to Alex's fansite which revealed that Alex has left the If I Can Dream House to be with his grandmother who is ill. Visiting the fansite however, we discover that the site has closed it's doors for good because of a dispute with Alex's family.

Alex Lambert tweeted however that he is only visiting, and will be back in the house "soon":

Alex Lambert leaving the If I Can Dream House?

First and foremost on all our minds today – why has Alex packed up his stuff and cleaned out his room? According to Dream Updates, after doing a bit of boxing and working on a new song last night, Alex started packing up his room in the wee hours, including laptop, mic and humidifier. When he was done packing, he went briefly to the garage. On his way back in, someone asked him a question to which he answered “no, not until later”. Justin then arrived home and asked Alex if he’d just gotten in, and Alex said “no, I can’t sleep, just thinking too much”. Later in the kitchen, Justin asked the cameraman Nick if Alex was leaving, since his stuff was packed and his room cleaned. Nick replied “I don’t know, maybe he is going home for a few days.”

UPDATE: From Dream Updates: Gig speaks with Kristen, then announces that Alex is taking a break for family and other reasons. In the second video, captured later Saturday night, Gig elaborates saying that “he has a few things going on back in Texas and wants to go back and deal with those things, and he hopes that it’s all well so that he can come back… not too much of a problem”. Gig also said that Alex’s aunt (who lives in LA) came to pick him up from the house in the afternoon. It now seems clear (based on a phone call he was heard to make before leaving the house) that Alex has asked for a leave of absence from the show to be with his grandmother, who is ill. We do not know if he is still in LA and will be returning to the house briefly to say his goodbyes, or if he has already returned to Texas. Nor do we know how long a break he will be taking.
