The French paparazzi magazine Public is claiming they have a sex tape of Grammy winner Adele and are releasing uncensored stills from the film tomorrow. The tape was allegedly filmed by her ex-douchebag of a boyfriend Slinky McSlinkernuts.

McSlinkernuts is upset because she has gone on to be a multi-millionaire Grammy winning songstress who wrote 21 about their toxic relationship and he wants a cut, but isn't getting it. Gee, do you think she was on to something with the album? I'd say so. This is his 'revenge'. I hope his McSlinkernuts fall off if this has any truth to it.

Adele tweeted 'I hate the paparazzi' yesterday. Her fans love her unconditionally despite there being scum like this in the world and she will go on to be even richer and more famous and McSlinkernuts will always be a douche. See how that works?

However Adele has fired off a lawsuit to the magazine with her lawyers releasing this statement:

"We are informed that the French magazine Public has today published images which it claims show our client in a sex tape. Our client has not appeared in a sex tape as it (is) claimed in the article. Our client does not appear in the photographs.

"Such claims are untrue and grossly defamatory. Our client is taking legal action in relation to this matter."

After her huge win at the Grammys in which she won in each of the 6 categories Adele was nominated, a Vogue interview came out that mentioned she was going to take 4 to 5 years off to enjoy her life and especially time with her new boyfriend. You can imagine how upset her fans worldwide were at that, but Adele has cleared the air saying it will be more like 5 days of rest before heading back into the studio:

Oh goodness!! I’m absolutely flabbergasted! In between laughing my head off, welling up, needing to sit down and trying to maintain an open fire (which is pretty much impossible huh!?) I keep having flashbacks to Sunday night. The most incredible night of my life. Thank you to you all, I am so overwhelmed, it’s the strangest feeling. I have constant butterflies and goosebumps, it’s wearing me out but I LOVE it! I’ve been sleeping a lot but the minute I wake up I burst out laughing and it starts all over again.

I forgot to mention so many people by name on the night, and for that I’m sorry. I will say thanks to your face when I next see you. I was totally unprepared. Despite the phenomenal year, I swear I didn’t think I had any chance. All the categories were full of people I adore with brilliant songs, records and performances. So not in my wildest dreams did I think to actually prepare anything proper to say just in case.
Thank you to everyone who enjoys my music, and to all the “daydreamers” (i love that you call yourselves that. I read all your messages and threads from time to time and you crack me up x) it seems like you pass 21 on and want people to hear it and it’s because of that that it’s evolved into something that we should all be very proud of. All of this is yours – the songs, the shows, the moments like this. Not that there’s any other moments like this one, but you get my drift…. Ha!

The night itself was so amazing, I met so many incredible people and everyone we’ve lost this year were on our minds and in our hearts and it was lovely to remember them all together as fans and friends.

I’ve a few days off now, and then it’s the Brit Awards here at home and then I’m straight into the studio.BOYYAHH! 5 years? More like 5 days!

Thank goodness!! I can't imagine having to wait another 5 years to see what this amazing lady has in store for us! Are you relieved?

Adele was the big winner at last night's 2012 Grammy Awards winning 6 awards including the coveted Album of the Year and she performed her powerhouse torch song Rolling in the Deep letting her fans know that she was BACK from throat surgery and better than ever.

For someone who has had crippling stage fright I would say that is a thing of the past. I absolutely loved how after her performance she just took it all in. She looked around the Staples Centre at everyone standing and cheering  for her in what had to be one of the most surreal moments of her life to date.

When she won Album of the Year:

"I want to say thank you to Rick Rubin for teaching me about quality control," the singer said after thanking her mother. She was overcome with emotion at the beginning of her speech but gathered herself before continuing with her touching acceptance remarks.

The album is based on "something everyone's been through — a rubbish relationship," she added.

Can you imagine the dude this album is based on? I'd say she's the one that came out ahead and she is not looking back!

Did you watch the Grammys? Whose performance did you love?

For the first time in seven years the music industry has seen a surge in album sales that included both digital purchases and track sales (up 20% and 9% respectively). You have powerhouses like Adele, Rihanna, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lady GaGa, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez and our girl Britney Spears.

These women put out top albums that dominated the radio play of stations as well as touring and television performances (think award shows for sure).

Adele's very first album 21,sold 5 million copies. Katy Perry's Teenage Dream album has seen 5 singles top the charts which ties Michael Jackson's record. Total downloads for Katy: 15 million downloads. I'm not sure how much an artist earns but I'm thinking she's pretty filthy rich at this point.

Her BFF Rihanna put out two albums in the year, racking up 1.9 million in sales and then of course there are her very creative concert performances that seemed to make headlines of their own.

Jim Donio, president of the National Association of Recording Merchandisers (they are responsible for tracking the market) says:

"These girls have become brands on a global scale," says Donio. "They're all dominant in their own way and bring with them an interesting cross-section of fans."

Not to mention music that is worth listening to! To think that the music industry has been in a 'slump' since 2004 and because of these incredibly talented women the industry is starting to turn it around! This is just the beginning. Imagine what 2012 brings us?

That's not to say men didn't contribute to the surge in the industry. Of course they did without question, but in an industry that hasn't really seen female domination of this size, I'd say this is the beginning of some very big things for women in music.

Christina Aguilera may be a household name because of her powerhouse vocals, but she also can get star struck my those that she admires. Singer Adele is such a person that Christina admires. Christina attended Adele’s concert last night in Los Angeles and tweeted the above picture:

Me & Adele. “Someone Like You” is my favorite! Beautiful to see all her fans sing it tonight! love u Adele

She also included the one below with:

Another with Adele after LA show. Love her!

It’s nice to see girls supporting one another in the same field. I love that Christina is such a person. These ladies are two of my very favorite singers!
