English chanteuse, ADELE swept the Grammy Awards Sunday night and told Vogue she’s done with singing about breakups and heartaches in her music.
And look at that cover photo! Bet Karl Lagerfeld’s biting his tongue again for calling her “fat.”
Adele showed up her detractors by winning all six awards she’s been nominated for, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year. And for the first time since her vocal chord surgery last year, she performed in front of an audience, singing “Rolling in the Deep” from her album “21,” the best selling album of 2011 with more than 17 million sold…
First Lady MICHELLE OBAMA soundly beat late night talk show host, JIMMY FALLON at a fitness challenge held at the White House. Hmmm…what’s all this with the First Lady wanting to best the country’s gab specialists at physical fitness?
Last week, it was push-ups with Ellen DeGeneres, now it’s hula-hoops, dodge ball, tug-of-war, and a potato sack race with Jimmy Fallon. Whew! Wonder how Michelle Obama gets all that energy to compete, and still win…because oh, yes…she won again…
“Extra’s” MARIA MENOUNOS lost a Super Bowl bet when the Patriots lost last Sunday, and made good on it by stripping down to a string bikini in Times Square. In freezing winter weather!
Menounos, 35, earlier made a bet with with “Extra” reporter AJ Calloway saying she’d wear a bikini in Giants’ colors in the middle of Time Square if her team, the Patriots lost the Super Bowl. Fortunately for Calloway (and for all of us who got to see Maria in a string bikini), the Patriots fell to the Giants on Sunday, so here’s Maria covered in a bikini, a million goosebumps, and not much else…
MADONNA gave a dazzling special effects-filled, but strangely lethargic Super Bowl halftime show. Can’t blame the old girl…she’s 53, after all.
Maybe we still can’t forget that dynamic 2004 Super Bowl performance where Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson imprinted that wardrobe malfunction into our retinas forever. But who can discount the time when The Rolling Stones dominated halftime in 2006, Bruce Springsteen in 2009, and last year with Usher and the Black Eyed Peas?
KELLY CLARKSON delivered an Idol-worthy national anthem at the 46th Super Bowl at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, reminding us all that this is exactly how we rouse pride in our nation.
Which is more than we can say about the more famous and veteran celebrity performers who’ve given their own twist to the Star Spangled Banner…intentionally or not…forgetting the lyrics, flubbing the lines, or rendering the national anthem as a heavy metal number…
JUSTIN BIEBER went and wowed fans with his topless skateboarding antics outside a recording studio in Miami last night. The guy sure loves to show off when the mood takes him.
In fact, he not only delighted the huge group of girls, photographers, and other hangers-on outside the gates of the Hit Factory, he drove them into a frenzy with his skateboarding striptease. All done with a mischievous smile on his face. If we didn’t know it, it looked as if he wanted to show off the progress he’s been making with his workouts…because it isn’t the only shirtless exhibition he’s shown to the world of late…
