Adele Plans to Watch Wicked Movie Despite Disliking Musicals, Concludes Las Vegas Residency

Adele recently surprised fans by sharing her plans to watch the movie adaptation of Wicked despite her usual dislike for musicals. The Grammy-winning singer made the confession during her concert at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, saying, “I don’t really like musicals. I think it’s an art and a craft, but it just doesn’t do anything for me.” However, she admitted being intrigued by the movie’s marketing, adding, “Whatever this Wicked campaign has going on, I am gagged to see it. I am excited.”

The announcement quickly gained traction on social media, with fans expressing their enthusiasm. One TikTok user joked about a potential collaboration with Ariana Grande, who stars in the movie as Glinda, while others praised Adele’s support for the highly anticipated film. The movie, which debuted on Friday, features Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and a star-studded cast including Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, and Jeff Goldblum. It is projected to earn a massive $120 million during its opening weekend.

Adele’s revelation coincides with the conclusion of her two-year Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum. Performing live every weekend since November 2022, she admitted the experience had been exhausting, saying, “I’ve run out of gas. Doing four hours a weekend of completely live singing is a lot.” Looking forward to spending more time with her family, Adele shared plans to relax and hinted at a long hiatus from performing. She told fans during her Munich concert in September, “After these shows, I will not see you for an incredibly long time.”

The singer, engaged to sports agent Rich Paul, also expressed excitement about focusing on her personal life, mentioning her son Angelo, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki, and the possibility of expanding her family. Fans now eagerly await Adele’s thoughts on Wicked and her next chapter offstage.

Adult Star Lily Phillips Aims to Break 24-Hour Sex World Record Amid Health Warnings

British adult entertainer Lily Phillips is preparing for a world record attempt to sleep with the most men in 24 hours. The event, set for January, aims to surpass the current record of 919 men, held by Lisa Sparks since 2004. Sparks previously admitted the feat left her in pain for a week and described the experience as grueling. Phillips, 23, has been training for months, gradually increasing the number of partners. She recently completed a 14-hour session with 101 men, describing the effort as "so much harder than a 9-to-5 job." She plans to ramp up to 300 participants in the coming weeks.

A source revealed that the Blink-182 drummer provided tough love and guidance when MGK turned to him after Megan initially ended things. “MGK really looks up to Travis,” the insider shared. “Travis, being sober and experienced, didn’t coddle him. Instead, he encouraged him to take responsibility and get his life together.” The 49-year-old musician also mediated between the couple, convincing Megan not to close the door entirely.

Cate Blanchett Warns AI Threatens Creativity and Society Beyond Hollywood

Cate Blanchett has expressed deep concerns about the growing influence of artificial intelligence, warning of its potential to disrupt industries far beyond Hollywood. The two-time Oscar winner shared her thoughts in a recent BBC interview, highlighting the risks AI poses to creativity, employment, and society as a whole. Blanchett, known for her performances in Blue Jasmine and Borderlands , acknowledged that the entertainment industry is particularly vulnerable. “AI can totally replace anyone,” she said, referencing its ability to replicate actors and other creative roles.

Billboard Apologizes to Taylor Swift Over Controversial Nude Wax Figure Clip

Taylor Swift recently received an apology from Billboard after a misstep in their tribute to her as the second Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century.
