i can't. i simply cannot.
even then, a middle finger is still the least of our concerns when it comes to anything. murderous violence and the objectification of women are both ok in primetime but a middle finger isn't. i can't. i simply cannot.
I don't get the hype about her flipping the bird I totally understand she was annoyed by being cut off...
I don't know why it's okay for Adele to publicly flip off, but other performers are ripped apart for it.
http://www.imnotobsessed.com/2012/02/24/adele-to-perform-in-olympics-closing-ceremonies/The Olympics will be held in London this year, and the music director is planning a lineup of “fabulous” British music for the closing ceremony, which means Adele is on the list! The music director shared his plans:
“Without saying we have booked anyone, it goes from Elgar to Adele. It is not just a pop concert, it is not just a classical rendition. It will be everything that we think is fabulous about British music.”
The singers reportedly will be paid only one pound to make their contracts legally binding. The costume designer explained:
“The performers are just happy to be asked to perform at the closing ceremony. Plus, we just didn’t have the budget to pay them.”
Sometimes, it’s not about the money. I love the Olympics and can’t wait for summer to get here to see them
he first thing Jennifer Hudson did when she ran into Adele backstage at the Grammys was congratulate her on her impressive haul. The second thing she did was offer weight-loss tips, which annoyed Adele. Hudson, a Weight Watchers spokesperson, pulled Adele aside at the Grammys and offered to be her fat-fighting mentor!
A source told the Enquirer, “Jennifer congratulated Adele on her six trophies but then added, ‘I used to be heavy just like you and gosh, Weight Watchers saved my life! I can hook you up.’”
Although Adele was outwardly gracious, friends say she was seething on the inside. She huffed about Jennifer, “The nerve of that woman!” Adele has made it known she’s happy just the way she is – at 165 pounds – and doesn’t intend to diet.
This isn’t the first time Jennifer’s zeal for losing weight has backfired.
“Her heart is in the right place, but her preaching is starting to get on people’s nerves,” said the friend, who added that Jennifer may have been motivated by jealousy. “I’m sure seeing Adele become the belle of the ball at the Grammys got under her skin. Meanwhile, Adele has made it pretty clear she doesn’t care what Jennifer or anyone else thinks about her or her weight.”
