Red Carpet Spot: The 2012 Brit Awards

The 2012 Brit Awards went down last night in London, with artists like Adele, Nicole Scherzinger, and Rihanna rocking the red carpet. Let’s take a look at who and what they rocked:

Adele Covers Vogue Magazine: ‘I Am Never Writing A Break Up Record Again’

Vogue Magazine snagged her for the Cover of their March 2012 Issue and she is killing it in a 10 page fashion spread. Inside, she talks about how losing her voice helped silence the noise in her life which gave her clarity and also reveals that she has no desire to expand into other areas such as acting. She also drops a bomb in the interview when she revealed it’ll be at least three years before we can expect another album from her and she won’t be releasing anything until it’s better than her last album, 21.

Check out a few experts and her full photo spread below:

On the Man Who Inspired the album 21
“You know, he was amazing. He was great. But it was never going to work. And for ages I was like, As if he deserves any f-cking kudos for inspiring my record. But now, after some time, it only seems right that the person who so far has had the biggest impact on me—has now changed my life for f-cking ever with this album—deserves a little credit. I can do things that I never dreamed I’d be able to do. If I hadn’t met him, I think I’d still be that little girl I was when I was eighteen. And the best thing is, I now know what I want for myself and from someone else. I didn’t know what I wanted before.”

On how losing her voice helped change her life
It was so fast-paced, I could hardly ever even remember the bulk of my day. I think I just needed to be silenced. And when you are silent, everyone else around you is silent. So the noise in my life just stopped. It was like I was floating in the sea for three weeks. It was brilliant. It was my body telling me to fix me. I had so much time to kind of go over things and get over things, which is amazing. I think if I hadn’t had my voice trouble, I would never have broached those subjects with myself. Now I just feel really at peace. And really proud of myself. I’ve never fully appreciated the things that I’ve achieved until now. In fact, my entire life has changed in the last ten weeks. I’ve never been so happy, and I love it.

On not having the desire to become an actress
I did my acting debut on Ugly Betty, and I cannot watch it. I play myself, but I was so sort of uncomfortable that I sound like an American putting on an English accent. I am the worst actress of all time. I’m like a f-cking cardboard box! I’m awful. No, I have absolutely no intention of going into acting or making perfumes. I am a singer. I will stick to what I am good at and not spread myself thin and become mediocre at everything I do.

On having a long-lasting singing career
I’m in it for the long run. I don’t want to be disposable. You’re only as good as your next record. I’m not scared of losing this. I won’t come out with new music until it’s better than 21. I’m not expecting to sell as many records, but I don’t want to release shit. Also, I have nothing to write about! I’d be lying. And that would go against everything I’ve ended up building for myself. So, yeah, I will need at least three years to write a record.

On if it’ll take a brave man to date her
Come on! I’m wifey material! I’m great. No one’s got to be brave. It’s not like, ‘You f**k me over and I’m going to write a record and make you the most hated man in the world.’ I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way. I’m done with being a bitter witch”

Adele's Big Win at the 54th Annual Grammy's

On a big night for Adele, she had a lot to say backstage -- as did the rest of the Grammy victors. Hear what you didn't see on the Grammy broadcast below.

Adele's Big Night: While her millions of fans may have worried about her recovery from surgery, Adele called the procedure "a blessing in disguise."

"Everything is so noisy in my world. I'm so mouthy, it was quite nice to be forced to be quiet," the radiant singer, who took home a ceremony-leading six Grammys, said backstage. "I found great happiness while I was ill."

However, don't look for a sequel to the new Album of the Year just yet.

"Now I'm too busy being happy," she said.

Karl Lagerfeld Blasts Adele as "Too Fat"

Adele has been nominated for six Grammy Awards. Her album, "21," has sat atop the Billboard 200 chart for, oh, about 197 weeks.

Yet these achievements apparently are not enough for fashion mogul Karl Lagerfeld, who went off randomly to Metro US this week, saying of the current crop of female artists:

"The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice. Lana Del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She’s not alone with implants.”

Of course, considering the aforementioned accomplishments, this quote begs the question: Too fat for... what? Not for success and popularity, clearly.

Too fat, perhaps, for the 78-year old Lagerfeld to sleep with? Adele will try to live with that realization. We know it may be difficult for her.

Lagerfeld also commented on M.I.A.'s lewd Super Bowl gesture, profoundly saying of the rapper's raised middle finger:

"Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly – it's not the best behavior. Everybody does that, what's new about that? It's just become a bad habit. People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women."

Adele Says She’s Not Releasing a New Album for “Another 2 or 3 Years”

Even though Adele — recently named Billboard’s “Artist of the Year” — is basking in the success of her sophomore album “21,” which to date has sold over 13 million copies worldwide since its January 2011 release, the 23-year-old London native says she isn’t even thinking about her third album.

In fact, fans of the British singer, who is currently recovering from emergency throat surgery, shouldn’t expect another album from her for another 2 to 3 years.


“I’m really looking forward to some time to do nothing. I imagine I’ll be 25 or 26 by the time my next record comes out, as I haven’t even thought about my third record yet,” Adele told BillboardA. “I’m just gonna lay some concrete, set up home and just ‘be’ for a bit. I’ll disappear and come back with a record when it’s good enough. There will be no new music until it’s good enough and until I’m ready.”

When asked if she had started writing any songs for the follow-up to her 4x Platinum album “21,” she responded, “Nope!”

For those wondering how Adele is doing following her vocal surgery, she said, “The surgery couldn’t have gone better. But because I was singing with damaged vocal chords for three or four months and because of the surgery and because of the silence after the surgery I now have to build myself back up vocally.”

She continued, “It’s gonna be a lot easier for me to sing now. And mentally I won’t be worried about my voice on stage anymore. So I have to get used to that. That’ll take most of January, so February I’ll be singing properly!”
