Adele feels 'too young' to write autobiography

Adele feels "too young" to write an autobiography about her life and believes she needs more "life experience" before she pens her own story.

 She'd never say never, but she did say 'not now’

The 24-year-old singer, who was recently named the UK's richest young musician at £30 million, reportedly turned down a seven figure sum offered by Harper Collins to pen her own story as she wants to keep her life stories private from the public eye.

Adele - who gave birth to son Angelo last September with fiancé Simon Konecki - also feels she needs more "life experience" in order to conjure up a book.

A source revealed to The Mirror newspaper: "Adele's never been a really showy person, so it was always going to take a lot to get her to write her life story anyway.

"But even though she received a lucrative offer, her primary concern was that she doesn't want to write a book about just 24 years. She feels she'd rather wait until she has more life experience to write about.

"She'd never say never, but she did say 'not now'."

The couple recently splashed out on several pieces of art work by infamous artist Andy Warhol for their home in Sussex, Southern England, and plan to add more to their collection.

A n insider said: "Adele and her partner Simon Konecki had the pair of prints delivered to their house in the past month.

"They're Warhol fans and the butterfly works are a good investment as well.

"The Warhols have already been hung in pride of place on the walls of the living room at the huge house.

"The couple are hoping to get more contemporary art for the walls to add to their collection, including paintings by Damien Hirst and Banksy."

Alicia keys speaks on family life...

Alicia Keys is more honest about her feelings now she is a wife and mother because she feels more confident.

 It's made everything a deeper, fuller experience in every way. I'd thought about it before but it wasn't really on my radar until I met the love of my life.

 

The 'Girl on Fire' hitmaker - who has son Egypt, two, with husband Swizz Beats - says family life has made her more sure of herself and more comfortable than ever on stage.

She said: "Stepping into motherhood and becoming a wife, I've definitely become more confident. I can express my feelings more honestly.

happy couple: Alicia and Swizz Beatz

"When you're trying to find your way, you hold so much back. Now that wall has gone, I've really stepped into myself. I am able to be more vulnerable and more composed. I just feel calm and comfortable with the shows now.

Alicia married Swizz - whose real name is Kasseem Dean - three years ago, and says it was "divine" to realise she had a "beautiful connection" with her former school friend.

She added in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Strangely enough we've known each other for 12 years - since high school.

"Years later, realising we had a beautiful connection together was just divine."

The 32-year-old beauty also admits it was her producer spouse who first made her think seriously about having children.

She said: "It's made everything a deeper, fuller experience in every way. I'd thought about it before but it wasn't really on my radar until I met the love of my life."

Clumsy Beyonce...

The superstar singer is constantly covered in bruises and cuts because with every music video or energetic dance routine that she does, she inevitably takes a tumble.

She said: "I've fallen quite a few times, so I've learnt how to fall. It's very rare that I'm not bruised in my life. I'm always bruised somewhere - like my legs, my hips, I've hit something, I've fallen...

"We have a joke. Whenever I've had a video that's great, I've definitely bled somewhere - the dancing, and the shoes, and the costumes - it's always a ring or something that slices me. But you've already started so you've just gotta fight through it."

The 31-year-old star - who has 15-month-old daughter Blue Ivy with husband Jay-Z - is famed for her uber-glamorous stage outfits but she admits she grins through the pain in her towering high heels, but kicks them off the second she leaves the stage.

Beyonce said: "I don't feel any pain on stage. The adrenaline, you know, takes over. But when I get off the stage? They come off."

The singer has come under fire from feminist thinkers for the contradiction between her super sexy clothes and her songs promoting female empowerment, but she doesn't understand the logic behind the negative comments.

She told Britain's Vogue magazine: "That's exactly why I can [wear those outfits]! Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything?

"I'm just a woman and I love being a woman. If you're attractive then you can't be sexy, and you can't be intelligent? What is all of that?"

Well that is Beyonce for you, she is human afterall...

Rihanna, Chris Brown and Drake love triangle...

Drake has opened up about her relationship with Rihanna saying he treated her with respect.
The Canadian rapper briefly dated the 'We Found Love' singer during her split with Chris Brown and Drake believes this is one of the reasons he and Chris - who is still on probation for beating Rihanna up in 2009 - are feuding.

Speaking on Elliot Wilson's 'Keep It Thoro' radio show, he said: "At one point in life, the woman that he loves fell into my lap. I did what a real [man] would do and treated her with respect. She's not up there talking down on me."

Drake - who famously had a brawl with Chris at New York's W.i.P. Nightclub in June 2012, which left a number of people injured including Eva Longoria's former husband Tony Parker -also blasted Chris' rapping abilities.

He said: "I don't want to hear that man rap. Nobody wants to hear me rap against him. I really do this. Let him put out that, whatever, 'Project X' or whatever he's working on and I'm going to put out that real s**t for the people.

"Nothing good can come out of that situation.

"His insecurities are the fact that I make better music than him. I'm more poppin' than him."

PREGNANT KIM KARDASHIAN...

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian seem to be following in the footsteps of hollywood’s leading power couple- Jay-Z and Beyonce. They fell in love and now she is pregnant and whats left is for the to tie the knot and I don’t see that happening anytime soon with Kim’s divorce drama.

The 'Kourtney & Kim Take Miami' star - who is six months pregnant with her first child with her boyfriend Kanye West - is thrilled her baby bump has finally popped but is continuing to maintain a healthy weight by working out regularly and indulging her sugar carvings with frozen yogurt.

A pregnant Kim Kardashian

A source close to the 32-year-old reality TV star told gossip website TMZ.com that Kim is nowhere near 200 pounds, despite reports by In Touch magazine that she "can't stop eating", and weighed in at 151 pounds during her most recent check up with her doctor last week.

The brunette beauty was recently said to be planning a post-pregnancy weight loss DVD and is already looking at signing a big money deal to slim down after the birth.

A source previously said: "Kim can't wait to squeeze her famous butt back into her trademark skinny jeans.

"She's been talking to various big companies about a bootylicious workout DVD. In true Kim style this would be sexy latex cat suits and lashings of make-up for a ghetto style hip-hop work out.

"Although Kim loves being pregnant, like most women she has struggled with her changing body shape.

"A work out DVD would be the perfect incentive for her to shed those extra pounds and inspire others."

A string of female stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Helena Christensen, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Molly Sims have defended Kim's weight critics recently.

Gwyneth said: "I think that women should support each other, especially through pregnancy, it's a difficult time and I think Kim Kardashian looks absolutely beautiful.

"And we're supposed to gain weight when pregnant -- that's how God intended it."

Whether fat or not, Kim still looks fabulous and I think it is particularly sad how society is obsessed about beauty, i mean all the hype going on about her weight, come on people... she is pregnant for goodness sake!!!!!

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrate annivessary in style....

Some say they are the power couple of Hollywood and they have proved beyond doubt that they are indeed the golden couple. People are always persimistic about celebrity couples as they usually break up soon after marriage but these ones have survived against all odds...

The couple - who have 15-month-old daughter Blue Ivy together - tied the knot in an intimate New York ceremony in 2008 and jetted off to Havana at the weekend to celebrate five years of marriage

They dined at La Guarida restaurant, where the crowd outside called their names until Beyonce, 31, waved from a balcony.

Waitress Silvia Fernandez said: "She was beautiful, without a drop of makeup, very natural. What happened with the people was incredible."

Beyonce recently claimed friendship is the key to her strong marriage with Jay-Z, 43.

She said:"We were friends first for a year and a half before we went on any dates. We were on the phone for a year and a half, and that foundation is so important for a relationship. Just to have someone who you just like is so important, and someone [who] is honest.

"I would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man. It just gives me such a foundation. [He's helped me] on so many levels."

May the love birds continue to be an inspiration to many couples out there and may they stay happily married forever...
