Adele live comeback grammys, British chart-topper Adele will make her live comeback at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in just under two weeks, after being on vocal rest since throat surgery sidelined the singer late last year.
The 23-year-old singer tweeted the news to her fans, saying "Ima be, Ima be singing at the Grammys. It's been so long I started to forget I was a singer! I can't wait, speak soon xx."
In a statement, Adele said she was "immensely proud to have been asked to perform" at music's biggest night on February 12 after a three-month hiatus on vocal rest.
It is "very exciting and of course nerve-racking, but what a way to get back into it all," she said.
The two-time Grammy winner, whose second album "21" smashed chart records around the world last year, was forced to cancel U.S. tour dates in November 2011 when she underwent microsurgery in Boston to treat a benign polyp on her vocal cords which was causing recurrent bleeding.
Appearing with her at the 54th Grammy Awards show will be top acts including Coldplay, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Paul McCartney, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.
Adele is also expected to perform at the BRIT Awards, Britain's top music accolades, in London on February 21.

“She’s had a miraculous turnaround,” Santorum said on the call with Florida voters. “We have a long way to go, but she turned the corner and we are very, very grateful.”

He confirmed that his daughter, who the family calls Bella, was diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs and said the family had a “very difficult 36 hours.” The former Pennsylvania senator said his daughter remains in intensive care and will be in the hospital for several more days.

Christina Aguilera Etta James funeral, Hundreds of friends, family and some famous faces paid tribute to legendary singer Etta James Saturday at the City of Refuge church outside Los Angeles, Calif.

Christina Aguilera sang an incredible rendition of one of James’ best known hits, “At Last.”

“There’s a line in this song that says, ‘I found a dream that I could speak to,’” said Aguilera. “And for me that dream all my life has been Etta James. I’ve aspired to sing like her, to be like her, to emulate her notes and her passion and the love for what she did – I could feel it. Out of all the singers I’ve ever heard, she was the one that cut right to my soul and spoke to me.”

Stevie Wonder performed his song “Shelter in the Rain,” a harmonica solo, and led mourners in a rendition of “The Lord’s Prayer.”

Rev. Al Sharpton eulogized James, quoting a statement from President Barack Obama, “Etta will be remembered for her legendary voice and her contributions to our nation’s musical heritage.”

Sharpton called James a “bridge over troubled water.”

Guns N' Roses Announces Six-Date Club Tour, If you've got a predilection for veteran hard rock bands, you're going to love February. The month kicks off with Tool at the Izod Center and concludes with Van Halen at MSG; in between, Rise Against comes to Camden's Susquehanna Bank Center (Feb. 4) and Foreigner plugs in at Count Basie (Feb. 15). And earlier today, Guns N' Roses announced four dates in the area -- Feb. 10 at Roseland Ballroom, Feb. 12 at Terminal 5, Feb. 14 at Webster Hall, all in New York City; and Feb. 24 at the House of Blues in Atlantic City.

Nearly 14-Pound Baby Born in Des Moines, Move over, Glen Davis: the Boston Celtics player's nickname, "Big Baby," might well be stolen by a California newborn.

Matthew Anthony Maldanado weighed 14 pounds, 3.8 ounces when he was born in Salinas, Calif., on May 9, according to NBC Los Angeles.

The infant's poor mother, Emily, was in labor for two days before doctors at Natividad Medical Center performed a cesarean delivery.

"They took him out and the doctor started saying 'damn', so they put him on the scale," Emily said, according to NBC.

Meanwhile, father Jose was given a heads-up that the baby would be big, the Examiner reported.

Baby Maldanado was nearly twice the size of the average American newborn, which weighs 7.5 pounds at birth, according to Parents.com.

Still, Baby Maldanado is a half-pint compared to the biggest baby ever. The Guinness Book of World Records says that in 1878, a Canadian mother named Anna Bates birthed a son who weighed 23 pounds, 12 ounces.

Tom Brady Victory Party, Giants will make Brady pay for planning Patriots victory party. INDIANAPOLIS — Tom Brady knows full well the Giants will be coming for him again. And again. And again.

And if bulletin board material means anything in these Super Bowls, the Giants will have more fuel for their fire, thanks to Brady himself.

Brady last night tried to shrug off his invitation to 25,000 delirous Patriots fans at Gillette Stadium to join him in a Super Bowl XLVI victory after-party. After the Patriots landed, Brady met the national media and attempted to explain.


“It was a pep rally,” Brady said with a smile, as laughter filled the room. “Certainly the players were excited, I know that 25,000 fans who were there were excited as well so ... We had great support home and away. Hopefully we’ll have some Patriots jerseys in the stands next Sunday night.”

NYC subway food ban, A state lawmaker from New York City is pushing legislation to ban eating in the subways in an effort to help cut down on the city's rat problem.

The bill, proposed by state Sen. Bill Perkins, D-Manhattan, stipulates that anyone caught eating in the subway gets a $250 fine, the New York Post reported Sunday.

"I've seen people open up plates of french fries and chicken, and have a grand old meal -- and then discard their stuff on the track," Perkins said. "The question becomes, 'How can we minimize the feasts that rats are experiencing?' By trying to control human behaviors."

However, many transit-users disagree with the legislation.

"It would kind of suck," said Meredith Naughton, 22. "New Yorkers are always trying to make the most of their time and it kind of helps to eat on the go."

Kim Kardashian 'I Wasted Everyone's Time', Should we feel bad about reveling in watching Kim Kardashian's marriage end on national TV via the latest "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" episode? We maybe should. But we do not.

So here it is in all its glory. Kim starts off by saying, "Something just feels so wrong and distant inside. This doesn't feel right." and then she says to Humphries, "Sometimes I just feel so dead inside."

And sometimes - the jokes just write themselves.

Then we see this obviously chemistry-challenged couple out to dinner and have stilted conversations about their "relationship."

"There's so many things that we need to fix, but I have anxiety thinking about the outcome. I know that's not normal," says Kim. Yeah, that's what's not normal.

From the other room, sister Kourtney calls Kim out on her crap, calling her "such a b****" and then Kris says she's not ready for someone to be in her life.

Then Kim cries, oh brother. And says, "I feel bad for him. I feel sad. I feel bad for the guy. I changed his whole life and he fell in love with me and I fell in love with him and now my feelings have changed ... I wasted everyone's time, I wasted everyone's money, I wasted everyone's everything. At 30 years old, I thought I'd be married with kids and I'm not. You don't think I feel bad?"

Hmmm. What do you think, Zappers?

+Jan Brewer Obama,Arizona Governor, Obama in 'Tense' Exchange Over Book, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Thursday evening released a copy of the hand-written letter she handed to President Obama in the confrontational meeting she had with him on an airport tarmac in Phoenix Wednesday.


The meeting raised eyebrows Wednesday when Brewer, who has had a contentious relationship with Mr. Obama for years, was seen pointing her finger at the president. President Obama said reports of the meeting were "blown out of proportion," adding that Brewer simply wanted to give him a letter.

In that letter, Brewer asks Mr. Obama for another meeting and boasts that her policies -- which stand in contrast to the president's policy prescriptions -- have helped turn around Arizona's economy.

"We both love this great country, but we fundamentally disagree on how to best make America grow and prosper once again," Brewer wrote. "I'd love an opportunity to share with you how we've been able to turn Arizona around with hard choices that turned out to be the right ones."

Brewer pointed out that Arizona is now among the top 10 states for job creation, even though it was not long ago at the bottom.

"I'm proud of that hard-won recovery -- the result of many tough decisions, courage and perseverance," she wrote.

In an interview with CBS News Thursday, Brewer defended her behavior. She said that Mr. Obama told her he was unhappy with how she depicted a previous White House meeting in her book, "Scorpions for Breakfast."

Parents and students alike are in an uproar about the school’s recent ban of “open top boots” because kids have been allegedly using the footwear to sneak contraband into class.
