Looks like the talented singer will have something other than Grammy awards to cradle since it has been reported that Adele has given birth to a healthy baby boy on Friday!

It seems like only a couple of months that we just started seeing signs of the chart-topping diva’s pregnancybut the report of her child birth came out of the U.K. and PEOPLE confirmed the report with Adele telling them:

 ”We are all over the moon.”

This is Adele’s first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki and we couldn’t be happier for the two of them!

Adele-Skyfall-cover

There have been rumblings for some time that expectant-mother Adele was going to be doing the theme song for the new James Bond film, Skyfall, which was recently confirmed, and before you could get over your excitement, it arrived! And it’s AMAZING.

Bond fans will know there have been plenty of hits and plenty of misses over the years in regards to the theme songs, which have been done recently by artists like Madonna, Garbage and Sheryl Crow. This new one is instantly a Bond classic – and what else would we expect from an artist like Adele!? In her first new track since releasing the monster album 21, she brings it utterly and completely. We think it will be the biggest Bond theme in ages and could nab Adele an Oscar as well!

Listen to the track after the cut and let us know what you think!

Adele-in-Vogue

You can consider us extremely excited about this! We’d heard rumblings awhile back that Adele was poised to do the theme for the upcoming James Bond film, Skyfall, but now it is 99% official. Adele has been spotted hanging around the MGM studios and the track is believed to be the same as the film title.

This will be the first new track from the quite pregnant singer since she released the incredibly successful album 21. Others who have done recent Bond themes include Alicia Keys and Jack White, Madonna and Garbage. We definitely think her voice will suit the seductive vibe a lot of the Bond themes go for.

What do you all think? Is Adele a good choice? What has been your favorite Bond theme in the past? Let us know in the comments!

adele baby bump

Damn, girl! For someone who is so used to covering magazines and reigning over the Billboard charts, you sure have figured out a way to keep a low profile!

She’s only a month away from giving birth, but we’re only just catching the first glimpse as Adele as a pregnant woman.

The Somebody Like You singer stepped out for a dinner at Eight Over Eight in London and sources claim that she’s beaming while waiting for the baby.

“Adele was relaxed and calm, and she and Simon looked really great together,” said the witness. ”She seemed very, very happy. She absolutely does have a pregnancy glow.”

And, according to ‘friends’ of the 24-year-old, it’s not just a new baby Adele has in her life– it’s a new husband as well! People connected with the star say that Adele and her fiance have already walked down the isle together!

Happy and in love… Looks like your excuse of not finding a boyfriend because you’re 5 pounds overweight is invalid, bbs!

Adele UK Vogue cover flop

Giiiirl, watch your throne! It looks like you’re not going to be up there for much longer.

The voice of the generation, Adele, graced the cover of the UK edition of Vogue and according to the magazine’s editor, Alexandra Shulman, it was one of the worst selling issues of all time.

Shulam opened up in an interview last night saying that they expected the issue to be one of their best sellers yet, and were extremely disappointed when the final numbers came in.

“Adele is the most popular woman in the world, but one of the worst sellers we’ve ever had,” said Shulman. “I find there has to be a relationship with the person on the cover that goes beyond how they look. Music stars haven’t sold at all well.”

Is this a case of an idol about to lose her reign, or did people just not want to buy the fashion rag this month? Let us know what you think!

Madonna at Superbowl

Is there anyone in the world who isn’t in love with Adele? The singer manages to still have the #2 album in North America even though 21 has been out for over a year.

It’s no surprise then that Madonna (always one with her finger on the pulse of what is current) has revealed she wanted to work with the British beauty.

In a recent interview, Madge revealed: “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.”

Adele singing

What we can never seem to figure out around the Gossip offices is how anyone is still without a copy of Adele‘s brilliant, Grammy-winning album, 21. With millions and millions of copies sold, after winning a handful of Grammy’s recently, she has stayed at the top of the charts again with a 196% sales increase giving her another 716,091 copies soild. That brings her total to around 6 million copies and has spent about 40% of the last year at the top of the Billboard 200 charts. Also ridiculous is that her years-old debut, 19, has climbed its way to the number four position this week with a sales increase of 135%. Essentially it is Adele’s world and we are just living in it. As expected, the late Whitney Houston’s compilation album Whitney: The Greatest Hits saw a huge increase in sales to come in at the number two spot with 170,294 copies sold. It’s a terrific compilation we’ve had spinning in the office a lot if any of you don’t have it. Now tell us: Do you own 21? Do you know anyone just jumping aboard the Adele wagon now? Be sure to tell us after the cut and check out the brilliant Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Someone Like You.

Adele Sex Tape

Today might be an unnaturally busy day for Adele, which is a little surprising considering her daily life consists of interviews, performances, writing, recording, and a million other time-consuming things. Unfortunately her hands might be full from something a little on the more embarrassing side: Sources claim that an Adele sex tape is going to hit the internet today.

A french website is reporting that a paparazzi named Jean Claude Elfassi has his hands on the alleged sex tape and will be releasing images from it in an attempt to find a buyer for the tape, and to add salt to the wound he’s voluntarily given an image from the tape to Public Magazine to show he’s the real deal.
