Adele Postpones Concert Dates Due to Illness

Bad news for the good folks out west: Due to laryngitis, Adele has been forced to cancel five dates on her current North American tour.

A statement on the singer's website reads:

Adele - Rolling in the Deep (Live)

She was diagnosed last Thursday in Minneapolis, MN, where doctors ordered immediate rest and postponement of that night's engagement at First Avenue. Adele performed on Saturday evening in Denver, CO (Ogden Theater) which proved too early a return to the stage. Adele’s show last Sunday evening in Salt Lake City, UT was postponed last minute when her illness worsened. Adele has also been forced to postpone shows in Vancouver, BC (Orpheum Theatre) on May 31, Seattle, WA on June 1 and Portland, OR on June 3.

The tour will resume on June 4 in San Francisco, CA.

Keep an eye out for news of rescheduled shows. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Pippa Middleton's French Sole on Show: Espadrille Me Up!

Pippa Middleton has something in common with Alexa Chung - in fact, two things. After some doubts over her style icon status, we think that any sartorial parallels with the Chungster lifts Pip's style cred in our eyes. Recently spotted taking in the French Open in Paris, Ms Middleton added classic European chic to her ensemble via the shoes favoured by our friend Lex. Espadrille style wedges in white (of course) were her casual shoe of choice, and like Alexa, Pippa is busting out her favourite pair on multiple occasions. Liking the rope soled, casual-in-canvas style? We found some more star picks, online.

Lady Gaga Album Sales: Huge!

This just in: folks love Lady Gaga!

The artist is poised to become the first singer to sell over one million copies of an album in a week since Taylor Swift pulled off that feat last fall.

Indeed, when the Billboard 200 comes out this week, industry insiders expect the eccentric artist's "Born This Way" to have broken the 1.15 million mark, partly thanks to a promotion ran by Amazon last week when it sold the CD for 99 cents over two days.

How much will Gaga blow away the competition by?

Brad Paisley’s “This Is Country Music” is expected to sit in second place, with sales of around 155,000.

Watch Lady Gaga in action now via our set of videos from her recent Good Morning America appearance. She's a zip-lining, fun-loving talent, that's for certain!

Kim Kardashian and Fiance Make First Public Appearance

With her mother's approval, and with the celebrity gossip world talking about her like never before, Kim Kardashian officially debuted her engagement and her fiance in Monaco last night.

The reality star and Kris Humphries attended the Amber Fashion Show at the Meridien Beach Plaza hotel in Monte Carlo yesterday, the sort of event Kris had likely never even heard of before hooking up with Kim.

As you can see, the couple were seated at table number-23. Which is appropriate. That's the number of millions this wedding special could rake in for the family.

Sexy! The Playboy Bunnies Get a Marchesa Makeover

This is one collaboration we didn't see coming! Marchesa designers Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman have teamed with Playboy for a collection of bunny costumes to celebrate the newest London Playboy Club. Georgina said of the collab, "The Playboy Bunny costume is one of fashion and pop culture's most iconic emblems. We were excited to design our own interpretation in celebration of the Playboy Club's reopening. The Playboy brand is about fantasy and escapism, which are elements embodied in our Marchesa collections." Well, when you put it like that... we can kinda see the connection. The show pieces launched yesterday and will be auctioned to raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness. We took a look at the super sexy range and picked our faves.
