“Skyfall” wins best original song in the 85th Academy Awards.

It was an extra starry, musical day at the Dolby Theatre as Adele took the stage first Friday, followed by the cast of “Les Miserables,” singing together for the first time.

The awards show could well be an Oscars contender. From winners sobbing uncontrollably to shocking political outbursts, bizarre snubs and streakers, the Academy Awards have seen it all.

British songstress Adele won the Grammy for best pop solo performance on Sunday, the first award handed out during the main event on the music industry’s biggest night of the year.

British songstress Adele won best song Golden Globe on Sunday for the theme tune to the last James Bond blockbuster movie “Skyfall.”

Turns out Adele ruled 2012, too — and set a record while she was at it.

After Megan Fox, Jessica Alba and Ed Helms were done announcing the nominations for the 70th Golden Globe Awards last Thursday morning here at the Beverly Hilton, someone’s birthday just became more special.

Adele’s take on the latest James Bond theme song – ‘Skyfall’ of the same movie title—brings to my mind other artists who have also performed the theme songs of past Bond movies such as Shirley Bassey and Sheena Easton.

British Grammy-winning singer Adele said Monday she will perform the theme song for the upcoming James Bond movie “Skyfall”, following in the footsteps of artists including Shirley Bassey and Madonna.

Adele is celebrating another milestone — a pregnancy. The superstar singer’s representative confirmed Friday that the 24-year-old is expecting a child. The message was posted on her official website, which crashed due to a large amount of traffic after the news was announced.

The birth of this triple-CD is remarkable for a band whose quirky name actually means “hard labor.” It has 36 tracks with catchy melodies combining piano, guitar, percussion, synths, and harmoniously blended voices.
