Ryan Tedder’s said some things about the new Adele and Beyoncé albums

Ryan Tedder’s been working on forthcoming albums from Adele and Beyoncé (‘LOL’), and now he’s said some things about them both.

“Adele sounds even better than before,” he told the Herald Sun. “I love where she’s at, she’s still my favourite artist in the world. I would press pause on my entire life if it meant I could go into the studio for a month straight with her.”

What about Beyoncé’s album of advert soundtracks?

“And Beyonce’s album will be mind-blowing.”

Hm.

As is the way these days, he also had something to say about Miley Cyrus’ ‘Wrecking Ball’ video:

“I don’t want 12, 13, 14, 15, 16-year-old girls staring at Miley thinking, ‘The biggest asset I have is my body, especially if it’s naked, and the more naked I get the more successful I can get’”.

So there you go.

Adele to explore writing

London - Adele has been asked to write a children's book.

The 25-year-old singer - who has 10-month-old son Angelo with her boyfriend Simon Konecki - has been approached by top publishing company Puffin to pen a story for kids which will be an easy-read for beginners, feature simple images and follow a storyline based on motherhood.

An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: "Adele loves the idea. It won't reveal anything too personal as that's not her style. But the book will be something she can have as a memory of her early days as a mum and also something she can dedicate to her son. Everyone is very excited."

Adele - who won the Best Original Song Oscar earlier this year for her James Bond theme 'Skyfall' - will follow the likes of Madonna, Ricky Gervais and David Walliams who have also had big hits with children's fiction.

Puffin believe Adele is capable of matching the success of J. K. Rowling, the creator of the 'Harry Potter' franchise.

The source added: "The children's book market is flourishing with celebrities and Puffin have watched Adele's huge climb to super stardom.

"Everything Adele touches turns to gold and this would rocket the way J. K. Rowling and 'Harry Potter' did." - Bang Showbiz

Adele feels "too young" to write an autobiography

Adele feels "too young" to write an autobiography

Adele - who gave birth to son Angelo last Septemberwith fiancé Simon Konecki - also feels she needs more "life experience" in order to conjure up a book.

A source revealed to The Mirror newspaper: "Adele's never been a really showy person, so it was always going to take a lot to get her to write her life story anyway.

"But even though she received a lucrative offer, her primary concern was that she doesn't want to write a book about just 24 years. She feels she'd rather wait until she has more life experience to write about.

"She'd never say never, but she did say 'not now'."

The couple recently splashed out on several pieces of art work by infamous artist Andy Warhol for their home in Sussex, Southern England, and plan to add more to their collection.

A n insider said: "Adele and her partner Simon Konecki had the pair of prints delivered to their house in the past month.

"They're Warhol fans and the butterfly works are a good investment as well.

"The Warhols have already been hung in pride of place on the walls of the living room at the huge house.

"The couple are hoping to get more contemporary art for the walls to add to their collection, including paintings by Damien Hirst and Banksy."

21 is key for Adele

21 is key for Adele

The 60 richest young people aged 30 and under, excluding sportsmen, have combined wealth of £4.07bn. Nine of the entries in the Young Rich List are worth more than £75m and make it into the list of Britain's richest 1,000. Adele heads the list of the Richest Young Musicians.

Adele. Music £30m
Adele hasn’t made public the name of her first child, a son born in October, but we do know there’s now an Oscar in the family.

The Tottenham-born singer, 24, co-wrote and recorded Skyfall, the theme song to the latest James Bond movie, which won her an Academy award in February for best original song. That followed the continued success of her album 21. By the end of 2012 it had sold more than 25m copies (including more than 10m in America and 4.5m in the UK) at a time when sales generally are plummeting. It has also

Departing rolls in Illinois Derby

Departing rolls in Illinois Derby

Claiborne Farm and Adele Dilschneider's Departing rolled to a strong 3 1/4-length victory in the $750,000 Illinois Derby April 20 at Hawthorne Racecourse, proving his class after a third-place finish in the last month's Louisiana Derby.

Running on Lasix for the first time, the 3-year-old homebred War Front gelding returned to the winning ways that saw him go undefeated in three straight races before the Louisiana Derby. He closed from off the pace to finish 1 1/8 miles in 1:50.78 under wraps as the 9-5 favorite, and was followed home by 23-1 shot Fordubai and 9-1 Siete de Oros.

Fourteen 3-year-old colts took aim at the big purse.

Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. took a patient approach to Hawthorne's marquee event aboard the Al Stall Jr. trainee, allowing Departing to track along far back behind a pace set alternately by Ground Transport, who went a quarter in :23.10, and Taken by the Storm, who took the advantage for a half in :47.71 and three-quarters in 1:13.03.

"Once he got down the backside, I thought I was on the best horse," Hernandez said. "He was just kind of cruising and going really easy today. He looks like he's getting better with distance."

Steadily moving along the outside from ninth early, Departing picked off horses one by one until he had just three to collar turning for home four wide. The bay gelding kicked clear at the top of the stretch and increased his advantage for a mile in 1:38.15, finishing the final furlong under a hand ride.

Fordubai, racing erratically under the left-handed stick of jockey Diego Sanchez, finished second and survived an inquiry to hold the place by a neck over Siete de Oros and Angel Arroyo. Abraham, Street Spice, For Greater Glory, Narvaez, Dewey Square, Ground Transport, Bells Big Bernie, Show Some Magic, Stormin Monarcho, Taken by the Storm, and Dakota Mac completed the order of finish.

Departing paid $5.80, $3.60, and $3. Fordubai returned $16.60 and $9.40. Siete de Oros paid $5.80.

Bred in Kentucky out of the Pulpit mare Leave, Departing improved his record to four wins and a third from five starts, with earnings of $628,000. Although the Illinois Derby is not worth points on the road to the May 4 Kentucky Derby, the gelding already had 20 points to make the Derby field by virtue of his Louisiana Derby showing.

His connections, however, have indicated they will not wheel back to run for the May 4 Derby. A potential start in the May 18 Preakness Stakes would seem more likely, but even that is up for discussion, said Stall.

"There's no use talking about the Preakness until we see what happens in the Kentucky Derby," he remarked. "There are some good horses there. If they do their thing and scare everybody off, we might do something differently."

Adele becomes Britain’s richest young musician

Adele becomes Britain’s richest young musician

The Rolling In The Deep hitmaker, who turns 25 next month, is number one on the Sunday Times’ annual under 30 rich list for the second year running - despite taking an extended break to recover from a throat operation and to give birth to her first child last year.

Adele’s bank balance has swelled by £10 million in the last 12 months, thanks to continued sales of her albums and the success of her Oscar-winning James Bond theme tune, Skyfall. The new figure means Adele is way ahead of her fellow British musicians under 30 - pop star Cheryl Cole, 29, is a distant runner-up with £14 million, Leona Lewis, 28, and Katie Melua, 28, lag behind in joint third with £12 million, while 26-year-old rocker Florence Welch has earned £9 million. Boyband One Direction has also made an entry on the list after amassing a joint fortune of £25 million. But the chart-topping youngsters will have to start saving their pennies to topple the industry veterans - Sir Paul McCartney and his heiress wife Nancy Shevell lead the way with £680 million.

Robbie Williams not recording with Adele

Robbie Williams not recording with Adele

London: Singer Robbie Williams has rubbished reports suggesting that he will be recording a duet with Adele.

The 'Candy' hitmaker had reportedly roped in the Oscar-winning singer for a collaboration on his upcoming second album, reported Digital Spy.

"She and my wife, Ayda, are really good friends and I'm really good friends with Simon (Konecki), her boyfriend. We're good pals, but I wouldn't ask Adele to sing on my record.

"The whole world wants Adele to sing on their record. I think we'll just leave it as a nice friendship, so that story about a duet is totally made up," he said.

However, Williams, 39, did confirm that he is planning to record a duet with Grammy Award winning singer Michael Buble.

"I can tell you that Mr Michael Buble is on the album. Me and Michael on the same record, I'm so excited! We're going to record a song I've written and graciously, he thinks it's a good tune too and wants to be on it... I am a big fan girl of him.

"He's quite a presence. I'm a pop star, I've got a 'character' and a 'personality' and all that but when he comes into the studio, I stand back and just enjoy him being him," he said.

Paul McCartney still richest musician in the U.K. - Adele makes the list

It pays to be a former Beatle, at least if you're one of the band's chief songwriters. Sir Paul McCartney again tops the list of richest musicians in the United Kingdom. Between McCartney and his wife, Nancy Shevell, the couple has a staggering $1.05 billion fortune.

The annual list, compiled by the Sunday Times, ranks the wealthiest people in Britain and Ireland. McCartney isn't new to the list, as he's been the U.K.'s wealthiest musician since it began in 1989. These days, Paul has some help from Nancy, his third wife. Her family owns New England Motor Freight, a U.S. trucking company that employs over 1,300 drivers.

Other notables on the list are Adele, as the richest musician under 30, worth over $46 million. One Direction steps up as the boy band with the biggest combined wealth, at $38.5 million. The full list will be published April 21, but there's no indication where, if at all, Ringo Starr lands.

Adele Achieves Big Accomplishment in the UK

Adele has been named the richest young musician in the UK thanks to the £30 million fortune she has accrued. The 24-year-old singer comes in at number one on The Sunday Times Rich List of 2013, topping fellow British singers Cheryl Cole and Leona Lewis. This is Adele's second year on the top of the charts—she came in at number one with her £20 million paycheck in 2012. The £10 million increase has everything to do with the success of Adele's James Bond theme song, "Skyfall." No wonder she can deck out her house in Andy Warhol art!

Adele has splashed out £15,000 on arcade machines for her new house.

Adele has splashed out £15,000 on arcade machines for her new house.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "She is kitting out her place with the latest mod cons. But she's still finding room for quirky gizmos such as the arcade machines.

"They'll have pride of place in her new games room."

Adele and her partner Simon Konecki are preparing to move into a mansion on the coast of Sussex, Southern England, and have spent £2 million renovating it.

Adele has long been a fan of games and toys, renting a property with a vintage bowling alley inside when she appeared at the Oscars in February.

She also reportedly had three full-size snooker tables in the house she lived in before buying her new mansion.

Gaming aside, Adele is also planning to take her driving test to help her get around after putting it off due to the phenomenal success of her album '21'.

A source said: "She's never taken a test because of her busy schedule over the past few years. Now she's back in the country she wants to use her downtime to finally pass her test.

"She may have various awards to her name but all she wants is her driving test certificate. There will be no sports cars though - she is eyeing up a more family-friendly car so she can carry the whole clan."

Rumor Has It: Is Adele Planning a Secret Wedding?

Adele is as famous for her love of privacy as she is for her beautiful voice. Last year, she announced her pregnancy when she was well into her second trimester, and she has yet to confirm that her baby son’s name is Angelo (though her name necklace and new “A” tattoo are pretty solid hints).

So it stands to reason that this mum would keep mum about her wedding plans as well. But a source tells Us Weekly that she and fiance Simon Konecki are busy putting together a super-secret affair.

“She’s been planning it for a while and is very involved,” says the insider.

The wedding is supposedly set for summer or fall at the couple’s new home in the seaside town of Brighton, England.

We can totally see Adele tying the knot in a romantic beach ceremony at sunset, with little Angelo decked out in a toddler tux. The guests might include Jennifer Lawrence, who apparently struck up a friendship with the singer during the Oscars last month.

The timing would also be right – no conflicts with awards shows, recording schedules or baby due dates.

But as with everything else personal in her life, Adele isn’t breathing a word about whether she is, in fact, going to caterer tastings and trying on gowns.

We’re kinda hoping that this is one rumor with more than a grain of truth.

Adele 'Persuaded By Robbie Williams Over Move To LA To Avoid Spotlight'

Adele 'Persuaded By Robbie Williams Over Move To LA To Avoid Spotlight'

Adele recently insisted that she would never move to America but it looks like she has been easily persuaded by her BFF Robbie Williams to consider a move to Los Angeles in a bid to avoid the spotlight and raise her baby son in a better environment.

The 'Rolling In The Deep hitmaker, who won her first Oscar last month for 'Skyfall,' has reportedly been taking the advice of Take That star Robbie on the best locations in the sunshine city on where to bring up her six-month-old son, away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi in the UK.

Adele, 24, is said to be keen on moving into a gated community where she can build a studio to work on her third studio album.

“Adele can see the benefits of bringing up a child in the US,” a source told The Mirror, adding: “They can be outside, enjoying the weather and loving life out of the spotlight.

“Adele and her man Simon are looking at a pad in one of the exclusive gated communities of Beverly Hills because Robbie and Ayda have told Adele that she would be able to have enough land not to feel too trapped and she could have the privacy she so desperately needs to enjoy life.”

The insider continued: “Los Angeles is a great place for children to grow up and she intends on working a lot more with a new album.

“She could afford to put a studio in her house. That way she could beaver away on new music without having to worry. Apparently, with her reported £20 million fortune, Adele isn't too bothered by the price tag.

“She knows she’s extremely comfortable with money and her lifestyle is very chilled and stress free,” the source said.

“Her personal life very much comes first right now.”

During her acceptance speech at the BRIT Awards in February, Adele denied she was moving to the US: “I’m not living here by the way, just in case you think that, I’m coming home!”

Adele shared a photo on Twitter showing her recently-received Oscar (won for singing the theme from "Skyfall") standing proudly next to a matching mini-statuette for her baby boy.

The little one's souvenir "Oscar" reads: "Best Son."

"...and we're home! What an epic trip. Thanks for having us, Hollywood!" she wrote.

Adele, 24, has not yet revealed the name of the baby boy she welcomed in October with boyfriend Simon Konecki.

The Oscar isn't the only hardware she picked up during her time in Hollywood -- in addition to her Academy Award win (she also performed during the ceremony), she picked up a Golden Globe for best original song for "Skyfall."

Adele, James Bond Movie: Singer Tapped to Write Another Theme Song, Talks New Music Plans

Just a week after Adele's "Skyfall" (the title track for the 27th James Bond movie of the same name) won for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards, she's been tapped to provide the theme song for the next James Bond film as well.

According to Britain's The Sun, producers want the singer to work on music for the films the way Shirley Bassey did, who sang various songs for Bond movies including "Diamonds Are Forever", "Moonraker" and "Goldfinger."

A source told the paper, "Producers are thrilled by how well the song has been received and hope Adele's presence on the next film will replicate that success. They want her to become as synonymous with Bond as Dame Shirley."

Although it looks like Adele will be pretty busy working on the Bond music, it might be some time before we hear a follow-up to 21. She recently said she will only release a new album when she has "something to sing about." She explained, "They'll [new songs] come when they're ready."

Joan Rivers Made Fun Of Adele’s Weight On ‘Letterman’: Did She Cross The Line?

Joan Rivers Made Fun Of Adele’s Weight On ‘Letterman’: Did She Cross The Line?

Look, we love Joan Rivers around these parts. She’s a national treasure, and she’s an old pro when it comes to crossing the line. In fact, she’s one of the best at making distasteful jokes. So when she appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday night (February 26), in her post-Oscars celebrity-skewering wheelhouse, we knew things might get ugly. But, like, in a good way. Alas, Joanie decided to roll off a string of fat jokes about Adele. Didn’t she learn from the Melissa McCarthy “hippo” debacle?

All comedians know, if you’re gonna do the fat joke in this day and age, you better do it in a novel way. Joan Rivers did not do it in a novel way last night: ”What is her song? ‘Rolling in the Deep’? She should add fried chicken.” You can just picture the drummer awaiting his cue for the rimshot. That was followed by, “She said, ’My throat, my throat, I don’t know if I can swallow.’ And I said, ‘Oh, you can swallow.’” Comedy? Watch it below.

To be fair, Rivers makes fun of her own physical attributes later in the interview, so she’s equal opportunity with this stuff (as anyone familiar with her material knows). But, yeesh. If it’s go big or go home, she should’ve left those punchlines at home.

Music Industry Grows First Time in a Decade on Digital Adele

Music Industry Grows First Time in a Decade on Digital Adele

The worldwide recorded music industry’s revenue grew 0.3 percent to $16.5 billion last year, the first increase in more than decade, as more people downloaded music

and used online streaming sites.

Adele’s “21” was the best-selling album and Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” was the best-selling single, an industry group representing music labels said in a

statement today. Digital sales rose 9 percent to $5.6 billion and now account for about 34 percent of total revenue, according to the International Federation of the

Phonographic Industry.

The improvement is welcome for an industry battered by piracy, the shuttering of record shops and declining sales of CDs. Digital sales of music now account for the

majority of record companies’ revenue in countries including the U.S., Norway, Sweden and India, the IFPI said.

“These are hard-won successes for an industry that has innovated, battled and transformed itself over a decade,” said Frances Moore, chief executive officer at IFPI.

“They show how the music industry has adapted to the Internet world, learned how to meet the needs of consumers and monetized the digital marketplace.”
Streaming Music

Major services for downloading and streaming music have proliferated and are now available in more than 100 markets, while subscribers to online music services

increased 44 percent to an estimated 20 million in 2012, the group said. The European digital market grew faster than average at about 20 percent in 2012, the IFPI

said.

Still, the industry has a problem with unlicensed music services using tracks without permission. To halt such sites, Internet service providers, search engines and

advertisers need to cooperate, the IFPI said.

The number of people using illegal music-file sharing dropped by 17 percent last year as more streaming services became free to use, according to research from New

York-based NPD Group. The practice peaked in 2005 when one in five Internet users over the age of 13 accessed illegal file-sharing sites to download music, the group

said. The figure is now 11 percent.

“For the music industry, which has been battling digital piracy for over a decade, last year was a year of progress,” said Russ Crupnick, senior vice president of

industry analysis at NPD. “Among other factors, the increased use of legal and licensed streaming services has proven to be an alternative for music fans.”

The IFPI also reported today that British songwriter Adele’s “21” was the first album to top the global chart for two consecutive years since the IFPI began reporting

worldwide best-sellers in 2001. Taylor Swift’s album “Red” took second place last year, followed by One Direction’s “‘Up All Night.”

One Direction had two of the top 10 albums of the year and Maroon 5 and Flo Rida each had two songs in the top 10 singles.

Best Original Song: Adele's 'Skyfall' Wins 2013 Oscar

The 85th annual Academy Awards were held Sunday evening and "Skyfall" took home the award for Best Original Song.

Earlier in the show, Adele performed the title track from the latest James Bond movie. Other songs up for nomination were performed as well including "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" from "Ted," sung by Norah Jones. "Suddenly" from "Les Miserables" was also performed as a part of a tribute to musicals of the last decade.
Also nominated was "Before My Time" from "Chasing Ice" and "Pi's Lullaby" from "Life of Pi."

Adele's "Skyfall" was indeed the favorite for Best Original Song. She took home the Golden Globe award for the song.

The 2013 Oscars also featured a performance by Barbra Streisand. It was announced this week that Kristen Chenoweth and Seth MacFarlance would close the show with a musical performance.

The 85th annual Academy Awards were hosted by MacFarlane at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.

She's Not Wasting Time! Adele Said To Be Trying For Baby Number Two

She's already super busy juggling a very successful music career with various high-profile awards ceremonies and being a mum to a four-month-old son - but Adele is apparently already trying to get pregnant again!

As if she didn't have her hands full already, the singer is believed to be trying for another child with partner Simon Konecki because she wants her children to be close in age.

According to reports this morning, Adele, 24, is getting broody again and is desperate to give Angelo a baby brother or sister and has told friends that she is trying to get pregnant.

A source close to the Oscar-nominated star told The Daily Star On Sunday: "Adele has been telling her friends that she is ready to try for another baby.

"She loves being a mum and wants two kids to grow two years apart."

The friend added that Adele's priorities and career aspirations have changed since she became a mum and although she loves her career, it doesn't compare with having a child.

Let's hope she has found some time to get intimate with her beau because it's been a very busy couple of months for the singer, who scooped the Best British Single gong at last week's Brit Awards for Skyfall and walked away with the Best Pop Solo Performance Grammy for Set Fire to the Rain.

Adele is nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar for her Bond theme tune, Skyfall and is due to perform at the Academy Awards in Los Angeles tonight.

But according to sources, she has been battling with severe stage fright while rehearsing for tonight's ceremony with a full orchestra, and is also concerned that she might fall over in her posh frock!

Onlookers said she gave a pitch-perfect rehearsal but told the orchestra: "My dress, it’s very heavy. I mean I struggle to stand in it. Come and feel how heavy it is so you don’t think I’m a wimp!"

Adele 'Considering Las Vegas Residency'

Adele has reportedly been offered a multi-million pound deal that would see her regularly performing in Las Vegas.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday that the singer is considering the offer to enable her to settle in one place rather than tour the world, while she gets to grips with motherhood.

Adele is also keen to record new music and feels it would be easier if she was based in one place. The paper claims she has been picking Sir Elton John's brain on the subject.

"Adele is top of the Vegas hit-list and she's seriously considering it as an option," the source said.

"She wants to get back to performing but doesn't want to go on the road so soon after becoming a mum.

"A Vegas residency would mean she could settle with her family and record her third album all at once. She's been asking for advice from Elton, who has spent years performing at Caesars Palace.

"Adele has been chatting to Elton about her fears of singing live again. Elton's been like a godfather to her recently, helping her settle into life as a superstar and the challenges of being a parent.

"He eased her mind about returning to the stage, the significance of the Oscars and how she should return to playing live as she has such a great gift."

Adele recently picked up the Best Pop Solo Performance at The Grammys - but it was her supposed row with Chris Brown that received more news coverage - which she later went on to deny.
