Adele Is Pregnant and 'Over the Moon'

Adele Is Pregnant and 'Over the Moon' - Adele, the world's biggest-selling pop star at the moment, didn't want the gossips saying "rumor has it," so she announced on her website today that she is pregnant. The site crashed due to a large amount of traffic after the news was revealed.

"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together," the note on her website states. "I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx."

"Simon" is Adele's boyfriend Simon Konecki, the head of the charity Drop4Drop which brings clean water to developing countries. The two have been dating since last year. She told Vogue of Simon earlier this year.

"He's wonderful. And he's proud of me, but he don't care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me. I don't think I would have gotten through the recovery for my [vocal cord] surgery if it hadn't been for him," Adele told the magazine.

In February, Adele told "People" magazine, "I really want to be a mum," adding that her goal is to have three sons by the age of 30.

Perhaps the bun in the oven will help inspire some new, happier Adele lyrics. In February, the first picture was revealed of the man responsible for her woeful "Rolling in the Deep" hit. ( Good Morning America )

Adele Announces Pregnancy on Her Website - Adele & Simon at the Grammys [photo: WireImage]Adele may have made a name for herself singing songs of heartbreak about ex-boyfriends, but her lovelife now seems to be going swimmingly, and in the future, she'll probably be crooning lullabies instead. On Friday via her website, the 24-year-old Grammy-winner announced that she and her boyfriend, 36-year-old Drop4Drop charity CEO Simon Konecki, are expecting a baby.

"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together," Adele posted. "I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx"

Adele and Simon met and began dating in the summer of 2011, although they did not go public with their relationship until January of this year, when Adele once again made an announcement on her website, to clarify rumors that Simon was still married. She wrote: "This is the first and last time I will comment on the details of my relationship with Simon. Contrary to reports and headlines in the press, Simon is divorced and has been for 4 years. Everyone in our lives separately and together wish us nothing but the best, and vice versa. These are the facts. Take care and see you all in February xx"

Simon Konecki has a 5-year-old daughter from his previous marriage to fashion stylist Clary Fisher. This will be the first baby for Adele. Congratulations to the happy couple! ( Stop The Presses! )

Madonna reveals she wants to collaborate with Adele

'I would love to work with her': Madonna reveals she wants to collaborate with Adele - Last month she defended Adele when the young singer was ridiculed over her weight by designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Now, Madonna has revealed that she not only wants to work with the talented Londoner, but she also planned to perform with her at the Super Bowl.

The 53-year-old is a big fan of Adele and had planned to have her join the impressive line-up at the Super Bowl halftime show alongside Nicki Minaj, MIA and Cee Lo Green.

In an interview to be aired Friday 20 April on ITV1’s Daybreak and Lorraine, she revealed just how impressed she is with Adele.

When asked if she would work with the Rolling in the Deep singer she said: 'Yes, I would love to. I would love to meet her, I think she’s brilliant, I love her.'

She continued: 'I wanted her to be in the Super Bowl with me, but I think she was having her throat problem or throat operation or something.'

The Queen of pop hinted that a stage performance between the pair could still happen at Hyde Park this summer where she is set to play a one off date.

Madonna was quick to stand up for Adele when Karl Lagerfeld dubbed her 'a little too fat', last month.

Bad girl: Lourdes was caught smoking and got in trouble with her mother

She told The Sun: 'That's horrible. That's ridiculous, that's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard...

'Adele's a great talent and how much she weighs has nothing to do with it.'

While Madge may be gushing over Adele, she confessed that she has no idea who One Direction are and never watches shows like X Factor.

She said: 'I haven’t seen them yet, no, sorry. Slap my hand.

While her daughter Lourdes is more likely to be a fan of the boy band, the teenager found herself in trouble this week with her mother.

The 15-year-old was caught lighting up while she loitered around with male friends in New York last month. The legal age for smoking in America is 18.

When asked how she reacted, Madonna, 53, admitted she 'wasn't very happy.'

'I'm probably not as tough as I should be,' she told the Today show. 'I think I need to be maybe tougher.'

'Every day is a negotiation, but cigarette smoking I'm not very fond of,' she added. ( dailymail.co.uk )

Grammys celebrate Adele, honor Whitney Houston

Grammys celebrate Adele, honor Whitney Houston - The 54th annual Grammy Awards show began as a tribute to the late Whitney Houston, one of the music industry’s most successful and decorated female vocalists. It eventually turned into a coronation of another gifted singer, Adele.

Sunday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the 23-year-old British soul singer born Adele Atkins won Grammys in all six categories in which she was nominated, all for her album “21.” She won the three biggest awards: for album, record and song of the year.

Adele delivered a spectacular version of “Rolling in the Deep” on Sunday night at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

It was also a good night for the veteran rock band the Foo Fighters, who took home five Grammys, including one for best rock album.

Also notable: Justin Vernon, who performs as Bon Iver, was the unlikely winner of the Grammy for best new artist, beating better-known artists like Nicki Minaj, the Band Perry and Skrillex. The “Bon Iver” album also won the Grammy for best alternative album.

Kansas City was represented hours before the official telecast aired. The Grammy for best small ensemble performance/classical went to Steve Mackey for “Lonely Motel,” which featured a performance by Eighth Blackbird, the 2012 Barr Laureate Ensemble at the UMKC Conservatory. And Prairie Village native Joyce DiDonato won the Grammy for classical solo performance for “Diva Divo.” Former Kansas Citian Karrin Allyson was nominated in the jazz vocal category for “Round Midnight,” but that Grammy went to her label mate Terri Lyne Carrington for “The Mosaic Project.”

Houston, who died unexpectedly Saturday night in Los Angeles, was mentioned several times during the telecast. She was also honored toward the end of the show when Jennifer Hudson performed one of Houston’s biggest hits, “I Will Always Love You.”

But much more than a tribute to Houston and an awards pageant for the best albums of 2011, the show was a live-music extravaganza. The actual award presentations were kept to a minimum: six. The rest of the night was handed over to a variety of live performances.

The first of those opened the telecast: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed the fiery “We Take Care of Our Own,” a anthem for the economically dispossessed. After that, host L.L. Cool J offered a prayer for Houston, a six-time Grammy winner he called a member of the “Grammy family.”

Then came the live performances, in rapid-fire progression. Most involved pairings or collaborations between two artist or groups. Some worked, others didn’t.

Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt paid tasteful respect to the late Etta James with a cover of “Sunday Kind of Love.” Jazz pianist/singer Diana Krall and Joe Walsh of the Eagles accompanied Paul McCartney as he sang “My Valentine,” a track of his new album of standard covers.

Among those that didn’t work: Rihanna and her collaboration with the British rock band Coldplay; the Beach Boys, including Brian Wilson, and their performance with Maroon 5 and upstarts Foster the People; and Minaj, whose performance of her new single erupted into a confusing mix of live music and taped footage that paid homage to “The Exorcist.”

The best live performances went to Adele, who delivered a spectacular version of the song that won record and song of the year, “Rolling in the Deep,” and to Glen Campbell, who rescued his own tribute, joining country stars the Band Perry and Blake Shelton on “Rhinestone Cowboy.” ( kansascity.com )
