Lily Allen has revealed that she conceived a Spice Girls re-enactment number for the 2009 Brit Awards wherein she would be Posh, Adele would be Ginger, Duffy would be Baby, Leona Lewis would be Scary, and Amy Winehouse would be Sport because "She was always the one with the best voice."

Would have been spicy!

Too bad it didn't happen.

Maybe it can happen for VH1's upcoming Divas Live???

VH1 Divas Live is back and we're super excited about it!

VH1 announced this morning that the star-studded show will televised live on Thursday, September 17th from the Brooklyn Academy of Music and….

They also released the names of four of the nights honored ladies heading the line-up: Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus.

Um, one of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong. One of these things is way too young to be considered a true diva, even if she does have more money than the previous three divas combined and has dominated every avenue of tween media imaginable.

But…..

What about Whitney Houston?????

It's close to her comeback date!

Here's hoping!

What has Vogue done to our Adele!

Causing controversy yet again, Annie Leibovitz (with the help of a little Photoshop!) managed to make the British singer look, well, nothing like herself!

What gives?!

2009 is shaping up to be an amazing year for British songstress Adele.

She picked up a Grammy a few weeks ago for Best New Artist and, come June, she'll be playing with one of her idols, Etta James, at the legendary Hollywood Bowl.

Adele just announced the news on her MySpace page, saying:

"I don't actually know if I'm allowed to tell you yet but I just read it somewhere else so… I've been booked to play the Hollywood Bowl in June for a while now. But Etta James just got confirmed to co-headline it with me! Etta James is my favourite singer ever! This is the most amazing thing ever for me!"

We're definitely going to be at the Bowl to see Adele and we hope her co-headliner has another Beyonce fit of rage.

Hopefully, Etta will tell us how she felt about Beyonce singing 'her' song at the Oscars!

Grammy-nominated Brit songstress Adele has succeeded where many have failed. She has found acclaim in America AND she has charmed Vogue boss Anna Wintour!

Adele will be appearing in an upcoming Vogue spread shot by famed photog Annie Liebovitz, the singer reveals.

At one of her fittings for the shoot, she was summoned to meet with Miz Wintour. Said Adele about the meeting:

"It was just like 'The Devil Wears Prada.' It was amazing. I was really frightened and I went in and she was so nice. She was like, 'What labels do you like?' I was trying to make up these designers that I was quite sure I had read in 'Vogue' or something before."

The Vogue editor has also offered to style the Brit singing sensation for the Grammys this Sunday.

Adele reveals, "I got a really nice dress. I don't ever wear dresses. I wear dresses with tights and flat shoes and a cardigan. But I am going to get my boobs out and everything. It's going to be quite a big deal."

We can't wait to see the Adle/Anna collaboration!

Big girl, you are beautiful!

Let's after-party at the Butterfly Lounge!
