You Thought So!

The VH1 Divas special is shaping up to be a kick ass show. A new exclusive promo poster was recently released featuring the lovely Jennifer Hudson who was just added to the line up of incredibly talented singers. Jennifer joins her fellow American Idol alums Kelly Clarkson and Jordin Sparks, as well as Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis and Adele. Veteran divas Sheryl Crow, Cyndi Lauper, Melissa Etheridge and Martina McBride are also slated to perform on the live broadcast which will air on September 17. I will surely be tuning in to this. It’s like an orgy of music goodness from all those fantastic females.

Paula Abdul recently announced on her Twitter that she will be hosting VH1’s Divas Live come this September. Congratulations to her for nabbing a great gig. The former American Idol judge said “Hi guys! im really excited 2 announce ill b hosting this year’s “Vh1 Divas”!The show will be live on Sept 17th @ 9 pm EST.” Some of the big name performances slated for the special this year will be Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Adele and Miley Cyrus. Maybe they can get Paula to have an opening dance number for the show. So who’s excited to see Paula working again?

Grammy nominated Brit songstress Adele has succeeded where many have failed. The singer has found success in America and has charmed Vogue boss Anna Wintour. Adele will be appearing in an upcoming Vogue spread shot by photographer Annie Liebovitz. At one of her fittings, Adele was called by Miss Wintour. Adele said of the meeting “It was just like ‘The Devil Wears Prada.’ It was amazing. I was really frightened and I went in and she was so nice. She was like, ‘What labels do you like?’ I was trying to make up these designers that I was quite sure I had read in ‘Vogue’ or something before.” The Vogue editor even offered to Style the singer for the Grammys this Sunday.

Adele has not had the best of luck with men – you only need to listen to her heartbreaking No1 album 19 to work that out.

So I was chuffed when the teen songstress finally found a fella — even if it was the daftly named Slinky Sunbeam from up-and-coming indie act The More Assured. They pair met earlier this year and had a whirlwind romance.

But now the larger-than-life singer has been dumpedfor a stick-thin model — ahead of the release of her single Cold Shoulder later this month.

Bassist Slinky — who I would love to see introduce himself with a straight face — is now dating the equally crazily named Burberry model Morwenna Lytton-Cobbold. They have been joined at the hip since hooking up at a London party last month.

And just when I thought the follow-up to Adele’s soulful debut album 19 was going to be an uplifting record about the joys of falling in love.

My source revealed: “Adele and Slinky met in February and really hit it off. They are both huge characters and had each other in stitches. It was really sweet. They started dating and Adele really thought the relationship was going somewhere. She was really into Slinky and it was great to see her so happy. She’d had a bit of a drought when it came to men, despite all her success. But then after about a month she headed off to America to do some gigs and promotions. She hoped Slinky would be waiting when she got back. But he didn’t hang around. He traded her in for a skinny model.”

I think young Slinky may have made a mistake here.

Adele is a brilliant lass. I love the way she doesn’t conform to showbiz stereotypes — and appears to own only one jumper.

But the real losers here are the children — for if Slinky and toff Morwenna have kids I doubt they’ll be called John or Jane…

Are you tired of having to get your tickets refunded because Amy Winehouse decided not to show because she’s too drunk to perform? Well here’s the solution for that – say hello to Adele.

Much like the troubled ‘Rehab’ singer, she has a wisdom far beyond her years and a voice tinged with a sweet sadness that you can’t help but be instantly drawn to. She also happens to be from London. Everyone is pegging the up-and-comer are the new Wino, minus the drugs and self-sabotage of course. Lots of people are predicting good things to happen for Adele come 2008.
