ADELE FIGHTS THE TEMPTATIONS OF LAS VEGAS

Her residency at Caesar’s Palace is a monumental hit, but spending weekends in Las Vegas is NOT doing Adele’s diet any favors. The talented songbird dropped a ton of weight since she first made a splash in 2011 with Rolling In The Deep, losing nearly 100 pounds from her heaviest. She still looks great, but is complaining to pals she’s having a hard time resisting the fine dining, 24 hour room service, and endless buffets that living even part-time in Las Vegas offers. She’s back to wearing mostly black flowing gowns on stage until she loses the extra pounds.

CAN ADELE CARRY ON ALONE?

Adele posted a LONG message for her followers before this weekend’s opening performance in Las Vegas. She admitted she has NEVER been more nervous before showtime during her career. Almost a year ago she postponed this Las Vegas residency at the LAST minute, with lame excuses about set decor etc. In actuality, it was the absence of her American boyfriend Rich Paul that most likely caused her to cancel. She admits to being obsessed with Rich – says she has “never been in love like this.” Rich IS with Adele for this opening weekend, but will he be there for the rest of the run? Adele has already spent half a million dollars on air purification machines for her dressing room and the stage to pamper her voice. But will the boyfriend, who has a job of his own, be THERE for her as much as she needs him?

ADELE’S HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON HER BOYFRIEND

Adele’s love life is a never-ending source of fascination. We didn’t realize that in January when she posted that last-minute tearful video apologizing to fans because she had to cancel her Las Vegas residency (“my show ain’t ready,”) she had a LOT going on in her life. Number one problem was her boyfriend, sports manager Rich Paul– he wasn’t around when she needed him. AND she was in the middle of buying Sylvester Stallone’s 21,000 sq ft mega-mansion (12 bathrooms!) in Beverly Hills for 58 million dollars at that same time. It turns out, maybe cancelling was the RIGHT thing to do, because it all ended well. She has rescheduled the Las Vegas performances for 48 million dollars, and Rich has moved into the huge house WITH her. She got what she wanted.

WHAT IS ADELE’S BOYFRIEND REALLY THINKING?

Adele and her boyfriend Rich Paul are vacationing in Italy and in this photo they are boarding a yacht to soak up the sun with friends. By all accounts, Adele is crazy about Rich, (she says he’s “hilarious” and “smart.”) but his feelings are not as clear. Remember, right before Adele canceled her residency at Caesar’s Palace, she admitted she was miserable because Rich was working and unable to be with her to prepare for the opening. HE was the problem. Rich manages LeBron James and other NBA players and has a very busy schedule of his own. It was a tearful drama when Adele announced to fans that she called off the Las Vegas series of shows just 24 hours before. She immediately flew to Rich’s Beverly Hills house and stayed there until he calmed her down. Looks like she’s the clingy and emotional one, and Rich is the sensible one in this coupling. All in all, Adele’s happiness seems to depend on how her romance is going with Rich. Obviously he’s fond of her and has fun in her world, but he’s walking on eggs, juggling his job and trying not to upset her. Not exactly a match made in heaven…

ADELE’S BOYFRIEND HAS AN ULTIMATUM

You already knew that Adele’s problems with her boyfriend Rich Paul contributed heavily to the cancellation of her Las Vegas show. Her shouting and crying on the phone with him during rehearsals was evident to everyone on the set. After she called the show off and taped her tearful “the show ain’t ready” message to fans – she left Vegas and went directly to Rich Paul’s Beverly Hills house to try and fix their situation. UK papers are saying she won’t leave until he promises NOT to break up with her! Paul is LeBron James’ sports agent, among others, and he happens to be a very busy man. That’s why he wasn’t in Las Vegas with Adele when she was prepping the complicated show. He’s got a difficult situation on his hands…

ADELE IS LYING TO HER FANS

When Adele abruptly canceled her four month Las Vegas residency 24 hours before the first show, she tearfully blamed Covid among the cast and crew, plus delivery delays. (Of course other shows had managed to survive thru those same problems!) Most revealing was the fact that Adele CANCELED her residency instead of POSTPONING it – implying there’s more to this than meets the eye. The truth is coming out in bits and pieces. A source at Caesar’s Palace where she was rehearsing said Adele couldn’t get through a single rehearsal without passionately calling her boyfriend Rich Paul and crying and shouting into the phone. Relationship problems? Was the pressure for a huge extravaganza more than she could handle? Has her stage fright returned? It’s a disaster for Caesar’s Palace and Adele is not being honest about the situation. (And this isn’t the only thing she’s lying about- more on that later)

SPEND A PRICEY WEEKEND WITH ADELE

Brace yourself for some PAINFUL ticket prices. Adele is appearing at the Caesar’s Palace Colosseum starting on January 21 thru April 16 and she’s doing two shows per weekend. The singer, who’s already worth 220 million,(and complained that it’s too expensive to live in London) is expected to earn $680,000 PER NIGHT! Not including the sales of Adele t-shirts and merchandise, of course. Superfans can buy a “Weekend with Adele” (including two shows and a hotel room) for from $952 to $12,244 for the best seats. Regular concert tickets START at $400. To put this in perspective, Britney Spears took home $475,00 per night in Las Vegas. Is Adele the highest paid singer in the world? She’s the female Frank Sinatra

CHEERS TO ADELE AND HER NEW LOOK!

Wow! One look at the photo Adele posted of herself on her 32nd birthday says it all – she is incredibly pleased with herself. Imagine the fun she’s going to have shopping! For months, Adele has been working out religiously and watching everything she ate. Her determination paid off with a whole new body! Yet SOME people want to spoil this moment by whining that “your weight doesn’t determine your beauty” or that celebrating weight loss sends a negative message about body image. Ridiculous. It so happens that a slimmer body is usually healthier and Adele did it the HARD way – by improving her lifestyle. SHE’S happy so let’s be happy FOR her – and inspired by her too!

SHARON STONE IS EXCITED ABOUT SPENDING THE EVENING WITH ADELE

Sharon Stone and her friends are more than ready for a night of fun at the Adele concert at the Staples Center. Adele has an eight night sold out run in LA and both her shows and albums are leaving major performers like Beyonce and Taylor Swift in the dust. People simply can’t get enough of Adele’s sensitive lyrics and just plain beautiful music. No state of the art spectacles like most concerts. Adele has been in LA long enough this time to experience a few things and onstage she declared her love for Bristol Farms – the upscale celebrity grocery store. (It’s our favorite too!)

ADELE LOOKS FIFTY POUNDS HEAVIER

Thanks to this dress she wore to The Brit Awards, anyway. It’s a luscious color on Adele, but that’s the only nice thing that can be said about it. Style-wise it looks like she’s wearing a tent. All those boxy frilly layers and giant sleeves give her the shape of a refrigerator. And we have SEEN her better clothed at other recent events looking shapely and attractive. The most popular singer in the world needs a new stylist.
