Grown Up Gossip & Internet Villainy
The Queen of New Boring has come under attack for having the temerity to get all pelvic and grunty with a man who might not be entirely divorced from his estranged wife.
As if it wasn?t enough that she can't get through a day without a million more people buying her album, she's had to take to her blog (which is a step up from taking to Twitter, at least) to tell everyone that
a) he's not married and b) it's none of their goddamn business.
You might not enjoy the music of Adele, but when award season rolls round, she won't have enough room in her bathroom to show them all off. With six Grammy nominations and probable Brit nods, she's likely to sweep the board.
You can't escape Adele?s music due to her success, and so, an extensive tour was always on the cards.
However, major chunks of the gig schedule were thrown into chaos when her voice took a turn for the worst. We imagine that punters wouldn't want to see her sing through a robotic voice emulator on an iPhone. It might ruin a subtle ballad if she sounded like a Smash robot.
Adele, the most successful British singer since the last British singer did well in the United States of America, has been having problems with that throat of hers. Mainly, the terrible singing that emits from it.
Sadly for Adele’s bank manager, she’s been cancelling gigs left, right and centre because there’s something wrong with her.
As such, she’s had to had surgery on her throat. THERE IS A CHANCE SHE’LL NEVER SING AGAIN! JUST IMAGINE!
Some people hate James Corden. They want the ground to break open and swallow him right up, with all the ?stupid? ?comedy? things that he says. His amiable, cheeky chappy demeanour just rubs people up such the wrong way that not only would they not piss on him if he was on fire, but they would probably light sparklers on his burning corpse and start a carnival.
Imagine the things you'd see. The sights and sounds of burning fat spitting on possibly e.coli contaminated hotdogs. Lovely.
Whereas on the other side of the coin, there's people who adore the ground that he walks on and will happily tune into whatever he does. These people would probably not piss on him if he was on fire. They would probably phone the fire brigade and stand idly by and bite their nails waiting for Dennis the Fire Engine to turn up. Maybe taking a picture and uploading it to Twitter, or that fancy new Google Plus. Technological mavens that they are.
Us, well we wouldn't say one way or another how we feel about James Corden. You don't come to Hecklerspray for angry reactionary prose about things. Imagine, right? Right.
Imagine just for a second that you're Adele. You wake up to the contractual Lazy Susan of creamed pastries and important news.
As you separate your breasts from clapping together when you roll over to the eclair sideboard, you hear that someone on the X Factor is totally stealing your shtick and that song that you've rammed down so many throats that the Nation doesn't have a gag reflex anymore? Well the video is out. You?d probably have a celebratory glass of whole cream as you sit down to watch it.
Aaaaaaaaaaand, end scene. Well done everyone. Take five and grab something from the green room.
Adele seems to split people into two camps. The first is the Oooh! She’s like a proper singer! She’s not like those thin, manufactured ones! She’s a proper soul singer! She’s a real person! The other is the She Makes Really Boring Records And I Just Don’t Get The Fuss camp.
Of course, there’s a third group which sneer I Don’t Have Anything To Do With Popular Culture Because I Do My Own Thing And Feel Vastly Superior And Simultaneously Ostracised By It, but the less said about those bores the better.
However, there’s a fourth camp now. They’re called the Gah! We’re So Bored Of Hearing The Same Song That We’ve Actually Banned It. Let us explain.
Adele. She’s not thin is she? We’ve all noticed and most people don’t really care. They never have. They may well think her music is duller than stagnant dish water, but her waist? Never even considered it.
The single most irritating thing about Adele is that she’s omnipresent. You can’t move for hearing her mawkish take on balladry. She’s basically a more-credible Westlife. It’s all earnest, doe-eyed faux-pain channelled through that feeling of being a bit teary after a few drinks, watching someone sing something slightly emotional on a karaoke.
However, bringing up her weight is none other than the girl herself, who for the millionth time this week, has underlined that she’s comfortable with the way she looks.
Jay-Z, a man we all like even when he makes records that seem a bit crap, is planning on making Adele ‘massive’. Can anyone think of a joke for that previous sentence? Like, Adele is pretty massive as it is. She’s really big in America… she’s huge everywhere! So where’s the joke?
No matter, J-Hova wants to make a record (nb ‘Records’ are the outdated format that has retained cool despite late, post-modern surge from cassettes. Look ’em up) with the Rolling In The Deep singer, presumably, to provide an apocalyptic chorus on something.
Unless, godferbid, he’s going to make her rap. Jeez. That’d be awful. We already have to suffer Plan B, Example and Professor Green with their awful mockney stylings, innit guvnor me pickledy pear, oi! That’s how cockerney folk talk isn’t it?
If you want to be the best, and you want to beat the rest, dedication’s what you need. Thanks for sticking with us through the trumpet solo. In order to break as many records as Adele has, you need to be dedicated to your craft and willing to make sacrifices in the pursuit of success, records and warbling on about how bloody cockerknee she is.
One thing she is more than willing to sacrifice is her own appearance.
Which is lucky because she looks like a cross between Christina Hendricks and the forest moon of Endor thrown into a slow cooker with all the make-up ever manufactured by human hands.
Heidi Montag isn’t just a plastic surgery obsessive who won’t rest until she’s a giant, featureless, undulating glob of flesh.
She’s also… um, hang on… she’s… oh, apparently she’s a singer now, too. Until now, Heidi Montag’s claim to fame was that she was a star of The Hills which – if you’re counting – is sandwiched between ‘murdering prostitutes’ and ‘soiling yourself in front of the pope’ on the scale of worthwhile claims to fame.
But now Heidi Montag has decided to become a singer, and has just released Superficial – an album that cost $2 million to make and is, in Heidi’s opinion, as good as Thriller. Want to discover what Superficial sounds like? Then you’re a dreadful human being and you don’t deserve the ears you were born with. Also, it’s after the jump.
