Adele's wealth has risen by $22 million in the last 12 months, making her the richest young musician in Britain.
The 23-year-old "Someone Like You" hitmaker has risen to the top of the Sunday Times Rich List thanks to the huge success of her album 21, which sold in excess of 20 million copies worldwide.
"Adele's been the success story of the past year by a mile. You only get an Adele once every ten years. It's success on a ginormous scale," Steve Redmond, of the Entertainment Retailers Association, told The Sun.
Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis and Katie Melua are all in second place with an impressive $19 million, while Adele's fellow Brit School alum Jessie J has made her debut appearance on the list for those aged 30 and under, with a fortune of $8 million.

Whitney Houston’s Death Caused by Accidental Drowning
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Obituaries,
Foul play has been ruled out in Whitney Houston's death.
The 48-year-old singer was found face down in the bathtub with a bloody nose and the remnants of cocaine nearby at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 11 and the Beverly Hills Police Department cited cause of death as accidental drowning, before closing the case today, according to gossip website TMZ.
Although it has been claimed cocaine was removed from her bedroom at the hotel before the authorities arrived to the scene of her death, the BHPD have denied this occurred. According to the final coroner's report, a "small spoon with a white crystal-like substance in it and a rolled up piece of white paper" were found on the counter of Whitney's hotel room, while "remnants of a white powdery substance" were found in a drawer and on the base of a portable mirror. Tests later confirmed the powder to be cocaine.
She had two superficial abrasions on the left side if her forehead, one on the bridge of her nose, and several other small abrasions on her body - although there were no signs of foul play.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Style,
Rihanna is "obsessed" with Gwyneth Paltrow. The "You Da One" singer is a huge fan of the Oscar-winning actress and says she's very envious of her lifestyle and her amazing body.
"I'm obsessed with Gwyneth. Honestly, what is it not? It makes me so jealous all the time ... her body ... I'm really jealous of her, I don't even know why I like her," she said.
As well as being impressed with Gwyneth, Rihanna was very flattered when the blonde beauty's husband Chris Martin covered her song "We found Love" with his band Coldplay. "Honestly it's flattering and special to know that other musicians appreciate your music ... To have a band like Coldplay that was just surreal, and if I love it, that's extra points. I know Coldplay, we collaborated together, we worked in the studio, shot a video just recently," she said.
The 23-year-old pop beauty - who recorded the duet "Princess of China" with the band - also spoke about posing in her underwear and say she only feels confident about it because she knows the images will be Photoshopped. "Totally, especially when it's Photoshopped. I'm comfortable in my underwear around the right people," she said when asked if she was comfortable being in her underwear.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Dating, Rumors,
Khloe Kardashian "doesn't know" if sister Kim is dating Kanye West.
Kim is said to be enjoying a romance with the "Stronger" rapper, and while Khloe says Kanye is a close family friend, she has no idea if the rumors are true.
"Honestly, we've known Kanye forever. He's been a great family friend. I love Kanye. I don't know what happens with Kim. I love Kanye. I think they're cute together. I've said that, but, honey, I don't know. You got to get her on the show and ask. Why don't you get them both on the show ask them together? she told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
However, Khloe - who is married to basketball player Lamar Odom - says if Kim and Kanye are together, she thinks they'll make a great couple because they've got such a solid foundation: "I like Kanye. I think Kim and Kanye have known each other for a long time. I think that they're good friends and they're compatible. I think a friendship is where good relationships stem from."

Katherine Jenkins: I Don’t Want to Lose More Weight
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television,
Katherine Jenkins doesn't want to lose any more weight after dropping 21lbs. The 31-year-old classical singer admits the weight has just fallen off during her current stint on Dancing With The Stars.
"I've lost a stone and a half. I'm burning so much energy now that it's hard to put the weight back on. But I like to be curvy so I'm trying not to lose any more. But I do want to be healthy, too - there are so many skimpy costumes to wear. That scares me," she told The Daily Mail.
When she isn't dancing, Katherine relies on jogging and Bikram yoga to burn off the extra calories: "I'm not naturally a person that wants to exercise, but I find running is something I can do wherever I am in the world. I think Bikram is a really good thing, I think everyone should do it."
However, pre-weight loss, the self-confessed foodie insisted she had grown to accept her famous curves. "I love my food, believe me. I'm just never going to be that skinny girl - I've come to terms with it now. I have curves and that's the way it's going to be - you'd better get used to it!"

Marc Anthony Files for Divorce from Jennifer Lopez
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Marc Anthony has filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The former couple - who have four-year-old twins Max and Emme - separated after seven-years of marriage last July. Now Marc, 43, has started proceedings to officially end the union, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the split.
People Magazine reports that in papers filed at Los Angeles Supreme Court on Monday, the musician asks for joint legal and physical custody of the children, and for spousal support to be denied if Jennifer, 42, asks for it.
Since parting ways, the pair have remained friends and continue to work together on reality show Q'Viva! The Chosen. However, Jennifer - who has now moved on with 24-year-old dancer Casper Smart - admits the break-up has been a painful process:
"Without going into detail ... it's just really, really sad. And look, we are still going through it, and it's emotional sometimes and difficult. We're still friends - and we're parents. But it's going to take time. It's tough. But for the most part, I feel very proud of the way we're handling it. I really do. We are doing the best we can for the kids."

Now the 33-year-old Maroon 5 front man admits he is flattered by her attention, although he is determined not to read too much in to it: "It's very, very flattering. It's very flattering and very sweet and it was lovely to hear. But I'm not going to let it get to my head," he told Access Hollywood.

Kris Humphries: Kim and Kanye Deserve Each Other

Kris Humphries thinks that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West "truly do deserve each other."
The basketball star was devastated when his wife Kim announced their split after just 72 days of marriage last year, but although she has recently started dating rapper Kanye, Kris has told friends the pair are perfect for each other.
"One of Kris' favorite songs of Kanye's is his hit single, 'Golddigger.' Kris especially likes the chorus of the song, 'Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger/When I'm in Need/But she ain't messin' with no broke n****s.' Kris is having a lot of fun listening to that song, and he thinks that Kanye and Kim truly do deserve each other," a source said.
However, Kris has reportedly instructed his lawyers to find out if Kim bought any gifts for Kanye during their ill fated marriage as even though California is a no-fault divorce state, if a spouse spends money on a lover while married, the other person is legally entitled to recover those funds. "Kris absolutely wants to know if Kim spent money on Kanye while he was married to her. If Kim took Kanye out to dinner, bought him any gifts, etc., Kris wants to know how much she spent, if anything at all. Under the law in California, Kris is legally entitled to that money and he deserves it, if it can be proven," a source said.

Seal Files Divorce Papers
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Seal has filed divorce papers seeking joint physical custody of his four children with Heidi Klum.
The "Kiss From A Rose" hitmaker filed his papers at Los Angeles Superior Court today in response to Heidi's divorce petition last week which sought joint legal custody with visitation rights for Seal to the couple's kids Leni, seven, Henry, six, Johan, five, and two-year-old Lou, but sources close to the pair say this is merely a technicality and there is no custody fight expected. Seal, 49, and Heidi, 38, both cited "irreconcilable differences" for the end of their almost seven-year union.
Following the announcement of the couple's separation, Seal revealed the pair had "grown apart" and he insisted he still loves the Project Runway star.
"You just grow apart after a while. She still, in my opinion, the most wonderful woman in the world. I think our priority was to remain civil and do this thing with dignity. We still very much love each other. To say that neither of us were grieving would be an out and out lie, and I don't mind telling you that. I think the operative here is that we are civil to each other and we both have a tremendous amount of respect and love and we try and do this with as much dignity as we possibly can."

Christina Aguilera’s Boyfriend ‘Happy with Her Body’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Dating,
Christina Aguilera's boyfriend is "happy with her body." The 31-year-old actress is known for her fluctuating weight, but Matthew Rutler - whom she met on the set of Burlesque in 2010 - thinks she looks great, whatever her shape.
"Matt is happy with the way she looks, however it is. Even when she was looking heavier, he would always say, 'She looks gorgeous to me,'" a source said.
The couple got together shortly after Christina ended her five-year marriage to Jordan Bratman, and a friend claims no one expected their year-long relationship to become so serious. "We thought it was going to be a quick, seat-of-your-pants romance, [but] it's turned into something special," the insider said.
A driving force behind their success is believed to be Matthew's bond with Christina and Jordan's four-year-old son Max. "He recently surprised them by taking them to Cirque du Soleil's Iris show. They had a blast," the source said.
