Adele just went M.I.A. An angry Adele gave the middle finger at the Brit Awards for music Tuesday night in London, two weeks after rapper M.I.A. gave the same obscene gesture at the Super Bowl halftime show. It happened as Adele, 23, was picking up the best album award to go with her solo female honor and was giving her acceptance speech. "I am so proud to be British and to be flying the flag," she was saying when host James Cordon interrupted her to introduce 90s British pop band Blur.The crowd booed and Adele digitally expressed herself.

British pop star Adele has vowed to spit at her estranged dad, Mark Evans if she ever sees him again.

"I was actually ready to start trying to have a relationship with him. He's f**king blown it. He will never hear from me again," the Grammy winner told Vogue US.

Evans spoke to a tabloid last year, suggesting that his famous daughter has issues with men because of him.

"It makes me angry! To come back after 10 years and be like, 'Maybe her problem with men comes down to me'. It's like, 'F**k off! How dare you comment on my life?' It makes my blood boil," Adele said.

The Rolling In The Deep hitmaker strongly believed that her dad was paid to do the interview.

"There's consequences other than just getting a bit of f**king money that lasts you half a year. It blows my mind. 'I love her so much.' Really? Why are you telling me that through a newspaper? If I ever see him I will spit in his face."

Adele's dad left her when she was three years old due to alcoholism.

On Sunday, Adele collected the largest haul of Grammys ever won in a single night by a British female singer. But aside from the awards she received from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States, the 23-year-old pop-soul diva has racked up yet another coveted honor – the cover of Vogue.

Adele looks gorgeous on the March 2012 issue of the magazine in an image, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, meant to be sexy in a glamorous way. Apart from the cover featuring the Rolling in the Deep singer with windswept hair and in a low-cut black lace top, there’s a wide variety of other photos inside. The article, written by Jonathan Van Meter, is also impressive. It explains why Adele is loved and admired by millions of people: she’s just so down-to-earth and real.

In the interview, the British songstress reveals that her ex-boyfriend changed her life in ways she never imagined, and she’s never writing a breakup record again. Here are some excerpts taken from the fashion bible.

On her ex: “You know, he was amazing. He was great. But it was never going to work. And for ages I was like, ‘As if he deserves any f***ing kudos for inspiring my record.’”

On her current boyfriend, Simon Konecki: “He’s wonderful. He’s proud of me, but he don’t care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me. I don’t think I would have gotten through the recovery for my surgery if it hadn’t been for him.”

On awards shows: “I hate the red carpet. I don’t feel insecure, I just feel like, Oh, I don’t want to do this. I literally get a stomach cramp. At the VMA’s last year I felt really out of my comfort zone because there were so many superstars there. But that’s been the case from day one. I never feel like, Oh, yeah, I should be here. And I was missing my best friend’s hen night. So I was a bit bitter that I wasn’t there, to be perfectly honest.”

On her favorite artist, Beyoncé: “She’s been a huge and constant part of my life as an artist since I was about ten or eleven. I love how all of her songs are about empowerment. Even when she’s married and Jay-Z put a ring on it, she releases ‘Single Ladies.’ Go get yours. Go get what you deserve. I think she’s really inspiring. She’s beautiful. She’s ridiculously talented, and she is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.”

German fashion designer—and more notably, the head designer and creative director for Chanel—Karl Lagerfeld was a guest editor for Metro Paris today, and took it upon himself to give his (very frank) two cents on different topics...like Adele and her figure.

Oh, but she wasn't his only target.

The 78-year-old's opinion on Adele was brought up when asked about his thoughts on new American singer and songwriter Elizabeth Grant, or better known by her stage name—Lana del Rey.

"I prefer Adele and Florence Welch," he said. "But as a modern singer she is not bad. The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice. Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants."

Adele has broken The Beatles and Pink Floyd'albums record in the United States.

Her ‘emo’ second album, 21, spent 16 weeks at the top of the US Billboard 200 chart,

She has now matched the success of the soundtrack to the 1997 film Titanic, but beaten The Beatles Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' and Pink Floyd's The Wall', both of which topped the US charts for 15 weeks a piece.

Adele now has the record for the longest running US chart topping album by a British artist.

British singer Adele made Billboard history on Friday when she became the first female singer to be named top artist, have the top album, "21," and score the top single, "Rolling in the Deep," all in one year.

The 23-year-old chanteuse was followed in the top artist group by No. 2 Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga in that order, while Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars rounded out the top ten.

"I think one of the things that sets me apart from other artists who have had the same kind of success is that my life isn't speculated about" by the media, Adele said in an interview with Billboard.

Tye Comer, editor of Billboard.com, attributed Adele's success to her being a "breath of fresh air" in a market saturated with pop artists cut from a "certain cloth," like Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.

"Her success is really inspiring because it shows that there is still room in the music industry for an artist to make it with true, raw talent," Comer told Reuters.

"It's not necessarily always about the outrageous outfits or flashy videos, but an amazing voice coupled with the right song still has the ability to turn the ears of millions of people and keep them interested," he said.

Adele's smash hit album "21," which was described by Billboard's Julianne Escobedo Shepherd as a "break-up requiem," was written in the aftermath of the singer's failed relationship, and it features underlying themes of love, heartache and moving forward.

"I'm incredibly private but I'm also incredibly honest, and I think that creates a kind of 'meet in the middle' respectable ground," said the singer.

The singer's rousing soul and blues-fused single "Rolling in the Deep," which was named the No. 1 song, beat pop and dance tracks like LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," Katy Perry's "Firework" and "E.T." featuring Kanye West, as well as Pitbull's "Give Me Everything."

Adele, who earned six Grammy nominations last week, was also named top female, while rapper Lil Wayne was awarded top male and Wiz Khalifa was the best new artist.

Adele's voice has given her the biggest success this year — and the most trouble. The singer will have throat surgery  and has now canceled all tour dates and promotional appearances for the year.

Columbia Records announced that the Rolling in the Deep singer will have surgery "to alleviate the current issues with her throat." A full recovery is expected.

Earlier this month, the 23-year-old canceled a U.S. concert run due to a hemorrhage in her vocal chord; she also canceled concerts in June due to laryngitis.

The statement said that doctors have ordered the Grammy winner to rest her voice and "completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments."

Adele's 21 is the best-selling CD of the year in the United States; it's sold over 4 million units.
