In a few months she'll be rolling in diapers. Adele has announced on her website that she and boyfriend Simon Konecki are expecting their first child. The blog post, titled 'I've Got Some News', said "I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx"

Adele, 24, and Simon, 38, were first photographed together in January. The divorced father of one daughter accompanied the singer-songwriter to the Grammy's in February. That day Adele took home six Grammy awards. Later that February she told People Magazine, "I really want to be a mum. I better start." She'd love  to have three sons by the age of thirty.

Good News For A Change... New Music From 2 Of My Favorite New Artists

What is the deal with the 21st Century British Female Soul Singers? Thank the Music Gods for letting the spirit of Dusty Springfield live on, & for having someone to pick up Amy Winehouse when she falls down. Duffy & Adele produce a kind of new Heartbreak Soul that feels good to hear right now. may I share a single by each of them with you?
Duffy is 26 years old & this is the sound that her little Welsh body can produce. Stunning looking & staggerlingly mature music.




Adele's new single is the dark bluesy gospel disco tune- Rolling In The Deep. Adele is an amazing 22 years old. Where does this come from that she can sing like this. I really love this sound.

Adele & cell phones

The husband & I joined the 21st century. We got cell phones. This was another very good lesson in "never say never". I had announced, for years, that I would never live anywhere smaller than Seattle or that was not on the coast...so, I up & moved to Portland! I said that I would never get a tattoo...& we know how that turned out. But, I swore that I would never get a CELL PHONE. Inappropriate cell phone use has long been one of my pet peeves, & most cell phone use seems inappropriate to me. Well damn... now I am entranced with my phone that takes pictures, receives the Internet, is a calendar & reminder, texts & has ring tones! I am addicted after one week! I have been taking random pics of hot guys & though I have never been a "phone person", I like the fact that I can reach the husband whenever I need.
This song is six months old. I still love it & I was thinking about it while using the cell phone this afternoon. Why? I love Adele & I am crazy for this song. She is amazing... the new MaMa Cass? A bit, but sexy & beautiful on her own.
