Adele

And today, Saturday, July 14, we present to you the stupid news of the day! We kind of can’t believe we’re actually writing this, but it’s so hilariously absurd that we just had to share it with you.

In the biggest shocker since Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes announced they were divorcing, we kid, Adele, Nicki Minaj and One Direction have some of the biggest-selling albums of 2012 according to the Neilsen SoundScan. So far. But don’t be surprised if these two stay on top for the long haul, because the youngins and not so youngins seem to love One Direction, Minaj, and Adele.

Congratulations to Adele! The ’21′ singer announced today (June 29) that she’s expecting!

The new unauthorized biography of Adele claims the singer struggled with a drinking problem during her first tour that was so bad it caused her to fall off a stool during a show. ‘Adele: The Biography’ also details her relationship issues with family members and significant others.

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis apparently has a thing for emotional breakup ballads. Kipnis wore a wireless microphone during Wednesday’s Spring Training exhibition game and was heard briefly singing part of Adele‘s ‘Someone Like You’ between pitches.

Adele is just as good at breaking records as she is at singing on them. The British powerhouse’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ just became the biggest digital selling song ever by a woman — and the second biggest digital song ever.

This sounds like a flick we need to see! Katy Perry and Adele are neck and neck for a role in ‘One Chance, the biopic of Paul Potts, the famous opera-singing winner of 2007′s ‘Britain’s Got Talent.’

Surgery? What surgery? Adele is back in action after going under the knife for a throat operation, and her voice is sounding better than ever, as evidenced in this new clip from her upcoming ’60 Minutes’ interview with Anderson Cooper. While chatting with the reporter, Adele treated him to a few a cappella verses from her Grammy-nominated song ‘Rolling in the Deep.’

Adele has been quiet lately because she had to be. After having vocal cord surgery to remove polyps that caused her to table several planned tours, the women behind the best-selling album since 2004, ’21,’ was ordered to pipe down and keep quiet until she healed. So she had no choice. However, she’s made progress and is opening up to Anderson Cooper on ’60 Minutes,’ which airs this Sunday (Feb.

It’s official! Adele is back and better than ever — and she’ll prove it by performing at the Grammys.

Sounds like Adele indeed turned her sorrow into treasured gold — then into treasured platinum, and next week into a Billboard chart record. Billboard reports that amid a week of few new releases, the British chanteuse is slated to top their Billboard 200 chart for the 16th nonconsecutive week, tying the record previously set by the ‘Titanic’ soundtrack.
