Music legend Chaka Khan has blasted the mag’s editors as “blind bitches” who “need hearing aids” in a new interview — after they dared to rank her at No. 29 on a “The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time” list behind such belters as Adele and Mary J. Blige. In a lively chat with Andrew Goldman on his “The Originals” podcast for Los Angeles Magazine, Khan complained of the rankings, “These are blind bitches! They are blind as a motherf–king bat! They need hearing aids… These must be the children of Helen Keller!” In the interview, she went off on...

Adele's mega-money residency in Las Vegas started triumphantly on Friday night – but behind the scenes there has been drama, with the singer shunning a luxury suite at a hotel owned by Caesars Palace, where the show is being staged. The iconic Vegas mainstay offered swanky accommodation at the Palazzo Suites at the Rio Casino as part of her deal to sing at the Caesar’s Palace Colosseum for a reported $1 million a night. The suite was said to be a luxury lodging, with a butler thrown in and the plan was for Adele to spend weekends holed up there...

Many have cast doubt on her Covid explanation. Vegas journalist Scott Roeben, who broke the story of her residency, claimed she was insisting on tearing out the sound system at Caesar's Colosseum theater and installing her own. 'Apparently, Adele and her team refused to use the house equipment in The Colosseum,' said Roeben. 'The theatre has a massive video screen, very high tech, but Adele's team insisted upon an entirely new system – a larger screen, essentially built a few inches in front of the existing screen. 'Such demands not only drive up production costs but, at a time when...

Hello! Adele fans who bought tickets to her 13 week run Vegas run on Stub Hub are pretty much sunk for now. It’s not exactly Stub Huh’s fault. It’s unclear when they knew she was going to throw in the towel. But I’ve talked to their people and this is what they have to say: Adele didn’t cancel, she postponed. The wording — through tears — was very specific. The shows are supposed to be re-scheduled. Until that happens, holders of tickets bought on Stub Hub can’t do anything. They can’t re-sell. They can’t get refunds. This includes everyone who...

British soul diva Adele on Friday released comeback single "Easy On Me", in which she shares with the world details of the traumatic six years she has endured since last releasing a record.

"[Adele] doesn't bring all the dancers and props ... she just stood there and sang the song and that's it, and this is why she wins," guitarist said Carlos Santana apologized after the guitarist said that Beyoncé is "not a singer" while explaining why Adele won the Album of the Year Grammy.

Sometime in the not too distant past, the feminist movement began backtracking from its mission to empower women and started dictating what women can’t do. Pro-abortion feminists say women can’t be successful without abortion. Single moms can’t parent children and achieve their career goals. Mothers can’t focus too much on their children’s lives. Mollie Hemingway, senior editor at The Federalist, pointed out a recent example of this after Vogue published a cover story about Adele. Some pro-abortion feminists began criticizing the international singing sensation because she told the magazine that she had found new purpose in life through motherhood. Adele...

Donald Trump has been blowing up the old traditional GOP certainties left and right, and this week he overturned another one. In what seemed like an embarrassing rebuke, on February 1, Adele told the Republican front-runner that he didn’t have her permission to use her songs at his massive campaign events. Adele might just be the world’s most popular singer at the moment, and any normal candidate would have folded his tent, chastened. Not Trump. At his rally in Little Rock, Arkansas two days later the crowd of thousands listened to Adele’s “Skyfall” before Trump’s helicopter landed. A day after...

Receiving the call that school will be closed for a snow day prompts many different emotions. For students and teachers, it's one of the best things about Winter, but for parents it means a full day huddled inside while awful conditions brew outside. We bet when the clever teacher in the video above parodied Adele's hit song "Hello" to cry out for a snow day, she didn't expect a snowpocalypse to arrive. You know how the saying goes: be careful what you wish for! So if you're dreading the arrival of Winter Storm Jonas, here's a little humor (and hours...

Adele says Sarah Palin is directly responsible for her career as a singer. Well, kind of. Adele recounted on a BBC special Friday how the former Alaska governor and GOP candidate for vice president made an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" in October, 2008 during the height of the presidential campaign when Adele, then still relatively unknown, was the show's musical guest. That was the episode where Palin and Tina Fey, playing Sarah Palin, famously acknowledged one another during the show's cold opening. "It was one of the most watched SNLs ever and then it was two weeks before the...

A petition addressed to Adele, President Obama, and Billboard on Change.org demands that the singer admit that she has "little talent" and is succeeding mainly because of her white privilege. "Adele sold over 3.38 million copies of her album '25' and the media is praising her as if Adele's success has everything to do with talent," reads the petition, written by Rhianna Jones. "Rather, it's her white privilege that has put her on top," it declares. The petitioners also "demand that Adele donates her money to African-American causes such as #Blacklivesmatter." It's not clear why exactly the petition is also...

According to sources, the 'Rolling In The Deep' hit-maker, who won an Academy Award, Golden Globe and a BRIT for 'Skyfall,' is one of the few artists who were asked to write and record the title track for ' Spectre,' reported the Daily Star.

4-year-old girl seriously injured in a 2013 rock-throwing terror attack died on Tuesday afternoon from complications from pneumonia, a Petah Tikva hospital said. “With great sadness we announce the passing of Adele Bitton, who passed away this evening despite doctors’ efforts to save her. We send our condolences to the family,” the Schneider’s Children’s Hospital said in a statement. Medical staff at the hospital said Bitton’s condition deteriorated after she developed respiratory complications from a lung infection. She was transferred to the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit Tuesday where doctors attempted to save her. Bitton suffered a traumatic brain injury in...

I have so many problems with the latest Band Aid single that I don’t really know where to begin, but begin we must so let’s get going with the fact that two-thirds of the line-up are unrecognisable to anyone over the age of 30 – not least Bono, who in the group photo looks as if he’d rather be anywhere else than at the feet of a YouTube Vlogger (Zoella) and slightly to the left of a bloke who once lost The X Factor (Olly Murs). Still, that’s not really a bearing on the single as such – it’s more...

It’s no secret that the late comedy icon Joan Rivers was no friend of First Lady Michelle Obama. And according to a late interview only weeks before her death, the Fashion Police host banned Mrs. Obama from attending her wake. In an interview with The Sunday Times magazine, Rivers also banned singer Adele, calling her “fat,” and Chelsea Handler, before calling her a “drunk” and a “whore.” At a signing for her new book Diary of a Mad Diva at an NYC Barnes & Noble, a reporter asked Rivers about the possibility of the first gay president, where she replied:...

US President Barack Obama was welcomed in Israel last week with the expected fanfare. Honor guards and photo-ops, handshakes and press conferences. State dinners and children’s choirs, speeches to university students (unless you study in Ariel), and wreath-laying ceremonies were also on the agenda. Whether this was a trip aimed at improving the president’s public relations and popularity, or if the intention was truly to discuss and implement decisions regarding important matters such as Iran, Syria and the Palestinians, while the world’s attention was on Jerusalem, another significant and interconnected story, albeit a tragic one, was developing just an hour...

t's being reported that Adele and Beyonce have been booked to rock The White House on Michelle Obama's 50th birthday. That should be some party . . . It's hard to believe that the politics of the sequester have worked out the way the Obama administration intended. Even their usually-reliable friends in the media have been skeptical, as this report from ABC News demonstrates: Budget Cuts Shut Down White House ToursJonathan Karl concluded the report by noting that the President took a 20-car motorcade to travel a short distance to eat with Republicans -- and suggested that next time he...

President Barack Obama and Michelle used to talk frequently about how the White House was the “people’s house.” In fact, the White House website now carries this quote from the First Lady: “It’s the ‘People’s House.’ It’s a place that is steeped in history, but it’s also a place where everyone should feel welcome. And that’s why my husband and I have made it our mission to open up the house to as many people as we can.” So much for that nonsense. The same week that President Obama’s administration announced that due to sequestration, White House tours would be...
