Adele reschedules North American tourTake heart stateside Adele fans. The British singer has rescheduled her North American tour and included additional dates. The "Rolling in the Deep" singer was forced to cancel her U.S. tour in early June after a bout of laryngitis. "The rescheduled dates will take place during the months of August and October," according to a press release from her label, Columbia Records. "The new tour will include stops in 6 additional cities including Las Vegas, NV, Atlantic City, NJ, Durham, NC, Orlando, FL, Miami, FL and Spring, TX." The Grammy award winning singer's sophomore album "21" has held the No. 1 position on the Billboard album chart for 10 weeks and has been certified double platinum.

  About this blog
Our daily cheat-sheet for breaking celebrity news, Hollywood buzz and your pop-culture obsessions.  |
I've learn a few just right stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much attempt you put to create such a great informative site.
For the people posting hateful and hurtful comments on this article about Adele's weight should stop it NOW! Just because she doesn't look like the other stick thin women who are out there in the public eye, doesn't mean she's not talented. It doesn't matter what she looks like, how much she weighs, the ONLY thing you lot should be concerned about is her talent and the fact that she has written 2 top 10 albums, and currently is more popular than Lady Gaga. Adele's recent album 21, was number 1 in the charts in the UK for 18 weeks STRAIGHT! now can ANY of you idiots top this feat? Take a look in the mirror next time before you start posting hurtful comments like that and think about how YOU would like it if someone said those things about you.
Wow, people on here are quite rude. This woman is wonderful, and her voice is so strong and deep. There's more to a person than his/her weight. Sure, she'd look better if she lost a few pounds, but that's not what matters here. She's a talented woman. To me, talent matters more than looks. You should be ashamed of yourselves for making such negative comments on a person's appearance. Ah, men, men, when are you going to grow up?
Adele is so fat she fell in love and broke it.
Lets see here. adele was able to cancel a show that she probably could have made a large sum of money on. and all you dirtbags that keep bashing her probably cant afford gas money to the cigarette store . wow you dumb %@!~& are alot better off than a thick girl with a little bit of makeup on. oh yea and she makes money singing.
Cruel people commenting. they must have low self esteem. weight doesn't define someone, character does and obviously the rude posters have neither character or class.
@barrymanilow: btw, you rocked on PM last night, still got it and never lost it. You have an open invite to sit in on my show. Real recognizes real and Adele is the real thing! Best wishes to all.
Lady Adele is worth the wait!
Damn this big girl needs to lose some weight. Being ugly doesn't help her either.......
I can't believe how nasty some of you are! I love her voice as well. We need more singers like her in this world instead of this singers who are practically dancing naked on the stage and singing filthy crap that they call music.
To AmazinglyBetterThanYou.................awe thank for the kind words..............I always knew I was amazing, but I didnt know I was amazingly better than you...........now STFU baby
why can't this fatty get it together??
Adele, I adore your voice, your music, your soul. Please have them stop dressing you like a drag queen.(not that there's anything wrong with drag queens. lol). You are gorgeouse without all that crazy old overdone makeup. I want the real Adele back. So you in concert soon.
Im gonna get that beast, that White Whale....THAR SHE BLOWS!!!
Oh haters, she's too fat, needs to lose weight...get over it. The woman is an amazing talent, she writes her own songs and is definitely not the product of the race to the bottom corporate machine that produces craftspeople, not true artists. If you want somebody who looks good in spandex but whose success is because of electronic modification then you have thousands of people to choose from, and keep your hateful comments to yourself. If you're looking for a beautiful artist who is part Aretha, Dusty Springfield, Billy Holiday, Sarah Vaughn and every bit her bad ass self then get on the Adele soul train!
"Amazing" went out with the 80's and all before that...."lackluster" is the new "amazing"...pardon the quotation marks
She's the absolute best, and if '21' isn't one of the best albums ever I'd like to here what is! I think 'One and Only' is one of the best R&B ever, and then there's 'Some One Like You', 'Rolling'... Just can't get over her! I'm a former 'Little Monster', who's committed Adele-tury!
I want to do wet with her.
Who?
Great singer, crappy picture.
Adele is absolutely beautiful as she is, and nobody should try to change her. I hope that she charts her own path, and does not let stupid people try to turn her into a starved little boy. Enough of the skeletons and mediocre that are forced upon us all the time. We need more adults in entertainment, there are already too many children and people who pretend to be children. I wish Adele all the best on her tour, and please keep rocking your own self, we need you to be you!
Maybe if she stops smoking it will help her voice?
She can sing pretty well from the one song I heard. Amazing? No. I guess in an environment where crap music flourishes that when someone good does break onto the scene their sound quite amazing by comparision.
She's going to swim out and rejoin the pod for some quality time, then it's right back to dry land.
People need to lay off Adele for being a plus-size girl. I'm much more interested in this: Why, in this age of entertainment overload, do people go crazy for something that's only "okay?" I bought Adele's album "21" and to my ears, there's two "great" songs on it and a whole bunch of "okay" songs. I don't understand people getting so excited about something that's mostly only "okay."
I like Adele. I just wish I loved her. She's gonna need better songs for that to happen.
Normally I dig fat chix,
but her make-up is a little too Tammy Faye Bakker for my tastes.
She looks like a clown with all that makeup.
Maybe if she'd stop smoking cigarettes and partying like she did the night before she canceled in my town (Minneapolis) and then giving her fans the old laryngitis excuse she'd have a better chance of making it more than a few nights into a tour. Her voice is her instrument, and I've been in the entertainment biz long enough to know that those that take care of what they are given have a better chance of real, long term success.
W E I N E R ! ! ! ! !
At least the woman did something with her life unlike the people who wasted their time with negative comments. Everyone has flaws. Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler are ugly looking men but they sure had babes left and right in their day. Pavarotti had an amazing voice. And he was heavy also. Janis Joplin was an ugly woman and she had a voice.
Who knew Tammy Faye Baker was alive...or could sing?
Must be a slow day at work when you take time to make jokes about someone weight, and not their abilities.
Speaking of jokes, did you know that Palin bashing as a national pastime is second only to baseball?
She'd be hot if she lost 80 lbs. Then maybe she could stop wearing all black and also get over her awkward stage presence. She IS a good singer.
More like 180.
@Johnny Rotten, you, on the other hand, are perfect just as you are, right? ;-)
Johnny d-bag...
I honestly love Adele. She isn't autotuned like so many of the Industries Biggest Sellers today and she breaks the mold of stick sized girls.
The girl can sing, there's not a question about that. The issue at hand seems to be this: big people are the only ones left to freely discriminate against. For some it is a choice, for some, it is how they are and no amount of work will change them. No one is saying that you have to love fat people or become fat yourself, but let's be human about it, shall we?
Thank you! Well said.
I second that!! Must honest comment on this board.
Indeed!
She is huge so huge that her and Carney Wilson should make love together then rub bellies....yum!
Adele should change her name to Hogetta, begin making love and rubbing bellies with Carney Wilson.
Wow, it amazes me there are such mean and nasty people in the world. If you don't like Adele and her music then why are you reading about her?
They're reading about her because mean and nasty people are everywhere with their noses in everything... ruining all that is kind and good. Have none of their mother's taught them common courtesy and decency? Have their father's failed to teach them good manners as well? "All the lonely people..... where do they all come from."
Personally, I think Adele is gorgeous. Her make up is done for evening wear for the Britt Awards show...she's not on her way to the park for an afternoon stroll. Wake up and pay attention trolls. Come out from under your bridges.
So many idiots around us... so many idiotic comments being posted. Correlation? Yep.
Adele is a mediocre singer...AT BEST.
... then who's better?
Are you frigging serious???????? This girl can sing. And its refreshing to see someone being judged by her abilities , instead of the same (cookie cutter corporate product) that pretty much all sound all the same. Check out the mix on her albums , you rarely hear any overdubbing or processing on her vocals. Most female vocalists today cant make the same claim. This girl brings talent to the game. Liker her or not.
SHE is GREAT... beautiful voice and wonderful songs. I love her.
There are three listed above. Everyone of you is a waste of oxygen.
Oh look the number just doubled. Mariah is the only one above with class.
Im doo dooing in my cereal bowl.
She's an amazing singer. I hope she feels better and adds more shows in Texas ;) Clearly those two are jealous of her and the success she brings. She's beautiful inside and out, unlike the people who try to bring others down with verbal abuse.
you know....as of late..........everyone seems to overuse the term "amazing" lately..........they apply it to everything.....so much so it loses its meaning...............................that's really annoying
Almost as annoying as people who overuse "..."
She's playing Houston (The Woodlands)!! I can't wait :)
Hey at least no one here as mentioned EPIC thats another catch word around latley...that aside Adele is a talent.
Amazingly epic awesome.............
@MadCityBabe: You're amazingly annoying yourself.
Amazing example of epic fail
Beautiful inside? It's just blood and guts... how is that beautiful?
Outside? Get your eyes checked... please.
@MadCityBabe: I think it's time for your nap. It's kind of sad that you can't celebrate the gifts of joy without diluting what it means to someone else. Your definition of "amazing" isn't going to be like everyone else's...Live and let live, dahling...And for the record, I find Adele ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! :)
Mariah, I agree with you 100% This is a true artist that should be judged on her performance and product. From reading previious "reviews", you think we stumbled back to high school. If you're not a fan- fine. Please respect others more than you respect yourselves. It's embarrasing to see so much energy placed on the negative instead of focusing on the surrounding good. I for one think she is a voice that represent many souls that aren't named Brittney, Xtina, etc...
She's beautiful inside and out?? How the F would you know?? Because she's a good singer with a hit album?? PLEASE!
To Lomez ".........................." Go F__ck yourself sweetie :)
Adele is so fat she fell in love and broke it
...yip, yip, yip...drool... ppppfffftttttttt !!!!!!
Classy trigtwit, real classy.
Grow up. Jealous much?
You are a tool!
Clearly you are an idiot.....for soooooo many reasons.
She wouldn't waste her time at Krispy Kreme. How is it that you have made it so far in life with the mentality of a 3rd grade bully
What is your talent? Probably nothing that contributes to society. You must be beyond bitter. Adele has fans that have experienced what she sings about. She is a genuine artist who sings from her heart. I'm beyond estatic that she is coming to The Woodlands!!! Thanks Adele, can't wait to see you!!!
