Adele thanked the women who came before her for paving the way for her success during her acceptance speech for The Hollywood Reporter’s Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at its Women in Entertainment breakfast gala, presented by Lifetime.
Helen Mirren presented the 16-time Grammy winner and THR cover star with the prestigious award that recognizes trailblazers and philanthropists in entertainment and media, which was established in honor of Sherry Lansing, the first woman to head a Hollywood studio.
The Golda star began her speech by praising Adele and listing off her many achievements. She also shared that the moment she heard Adele singing “Hometown Glory” was one she will never forget.
“This shiver went down my back,” Mirren said. “That chill that comes just a few times in your life, when you realize you are listening to a brilliant and game-changing new artist. And I thought, ‘Wow, a goddess walks amongst us.

Channel 4 and HBO’s lauded drama It’s a Sin missed out in several major categories at the BAFTA TV Awards this evening, as the BBC and ITV emerged as the big winners. Scroll down for the full list.
Russell T Davies’ Red Production Company-created drama was up for Best Mini-Series, with Olly Alexander in contention for Leading Actor and Lydia West competing for Leading Actress.
However, BBC prison drama Time won the Mini-Series category, Sean Bean won Leading Actor for the same drama and Jodie Comer’s performance in Channel 4’s Help pipped West and Kate Winslet in the Leading Actress Category.

Despite multiple assurances that she would focus on acting instead of singing for her debut as host on “Saturday Night Live,” Adele burst into song several times during a spoof on “The Bachelor” about half an hour into the show.
The skit found Adele, who was introduced as her superstar self, interrupting every bachelor-dating scenario by breaking into solo-with-pianist versions of one of her hits — “Hello,” “Set Fire to the Rain,” and others — to the annoyance of the other women.

It's been five years since Adele released her third studio album, 25. Five years since we first heard the haunting words, "Hello, it's me" for the first time, and five years since we felt the thrill of belting out fresh Adele music. We're definitely ready for our next Adele fix, and according to her manager and agent, the wait might soon be over.
According to Music Week, when Lucy Dickins and Jonathan Dickins spoke at Eurosonic Noorderslag in January, they hinted that we can expect to hear new music from Adele some time in 2020. And apparently Jonathan expressed that when it comes to her new recordings, "the sooner the better".
The first whisper of new music from Adele came in Oct. 2019, when One Republic teased a collaboration with Adele, Beyonce, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Then, over the weekend, Adele reportedly attended a wedding and - while singing karaoke - told...

Imagine having your wedding band be none other than Adele. The singer took the stage to celebrate her friend Laura Dockrill’s nuptials at the Mason’s Arms pub in London over the weekend and used the opportunity to possibly annouce a new album this fall.
Adele officiated the wedding of Dockrill and former Maccabees band member Hugo White, and performed “Rolling in the Deep” following the ceremony, as well as covers of Spice Girls’ “Spice Up Your Life,” Candi Staton’s “Young Hearts Run Free” and Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love.

When TV special “Adele Live in New York City” landed four Emmy nominations last month, it was an affirmation for the singer and her longtime manager, Jonathan Dickins, who had made the December 2015 NBC special an integral part of the rollout of her album “25” and her world tour that began in early 2016. But the special was also a way to recognize the current realities of the music industry, where artists and their reps must use every possible opportunity to extend the brand and keep the fickle pop audience interested. “Music specials are not that popular anymore, especially on...
