Simon Konecki: Did He Leave Adele For His First Wife?!

Posted on May 6, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Adele’s ex-husband Simon Konecki apparently sent secret messages to his first wife, stylist Clary Collicutt, before he even split from the singer.  And now, of course, we’re questioning everything.  Was this what ultimately led Simon and Adele to divorce ? Did he choose so-called Clary over songstress Adele? How?? Why?!  The Sun on Sunday reported that Konecki reached out to his ex at Christmas when he and Adele began leading their separate lives.  And obviously, Clary was just as shocked as the rest of us to find out that Simon was back on the market after she received a “Happy Christmas” text from the philanthropist. “Clary was shocked to get a message from Simon wishing her happy Christmas, especially because the news he had split from Adele wasn’t out there,” said the source. “But now it all makes sense.”  He must have been pretty lonely because he messaged her again begging for her to meet him for coffee.  “He messaged on her birthday in February and wanted to meet for coffee in Hove but she hasn’t told anyone if she has met him yet,” the insider shared.  “They have a long history. They were neighbors, then a couple for more than four years before he met Adele.”  “They had the same friends and seemed to have a solid relationship. Clary adored him and it was a shock to everyone when they broke up.” The Sun Insider continued: “After the split, Simon moved to LA with Adele and Clary remarried and set up a successful business as a personal stylist.” She also practices yoga and environmental sustainability close to her family in her hometown.  “She has a totally different life to the one Simon had in LA, which he is finding refreshing,” the source claims.  Adele’s reps announced on Friday, April 19  that her marriage was over . But “rumor has it” that she had already secretly divorced Konecki, according to the Daily Star Sunday .  And as for the singer’s current love life?  Well, it sounds like she is embracing her newfound singleness and living! It! Up!  The Sun on Sunday reported that Adele has moved on as she was spotted kissing a bearded mystery man while she was out on the town in New York City with pal Jennifer Lawrence.  Apparently, the two hit up popular gay bar Pieces back in March.  A source told the publication that “behind closed doors, Adele has revealed, ‘I’m divorced now, so I’m trying to find my new normal.'”  “Publicly, Adele is saying as little as possible about the split. But, privately, she’s been very open about the fact that she and Simon have already divorced.” “She’s been telling friends the marriage is done and dusted.” Simon and Adele share and raise son Angelo together — so we hope for the sake of their small family the two can still manage to get along and co-parent nicely. You know, Kourtney and Scott style.  And as for Adele’s bountiful fortune? Well, Simon could get half as sources say she didn’t have a prenup .  But we don’t think she is too terribly worried — not after seeing her latest Instagram photo where she celebrated her 31st birthday last night by throwing a lavish Gatsby-themed banger.  “30 tried me so hard but I’m owning it and trying my hardest to lean on it all,” she said, showing off her 1920’s dress and curly hair.  “31 is going to be a big ol’ year and I’m going to spend it all on myself.” We’re happy to hear it! And hopefully, she spends some time on some new music too, perhaps?  View Slideshow: 15 Reasons Why Adele Would Make the PERFECT Drinking Buddy

Chasing Payments: Adele’s Divorce From British Bloke Simon Konecki Could Cost Her A Whopping $180 Million 

Posted on April 23, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Adele’s Divorce Could Cost Her $180 Million First Halle Berry, then Mary J. Blige , now you can (potentially) add Adele to the list of famous boss women who’ve had to pay an ungodly amount of money to their ex-spouse during a divorce.  Over the weekend, a rep for the Rolling In The Deep singer confirmed that her and her husband of seven years, Simon Konecki, are splitting and reports surfaced soon after that Adele could have to pay up big time. Various U.K. outlets are reporting that Adele and Simon never signed a prenup when they wed in 2011 — which means that Konecki could be entitled to half of the singers earnings. That’s a lot of bread…approximately $182 million to be exact. But the 30-year old songstress could potentially walk away with her full $275 million net worth if she’s plays her cards right. According to lawyer Emma Gill, the courts could deem the marriage as “medium-length”, based on their son Angelo’s 2012 birth, which would ultimately work in Adele’s favor. “If it was a short marriage, Adele would probably walk off into the sunset with her £150 million ($275 million) fortune intact. Because it’s pushed into that medium-length bracket, and some of her successes are squarely within her relationship with Simon, they might be liable to be shared — in other words, Simon could be entitled to half.” Even if Simon was with Adele shooting in the gym, $180 million is a lot of money to dish out for a divorce. Thoughts?

Adele & Simon Konecki: Cause of Their Split Revealed!

Posted on April 23, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last week, the world learned that Adele and Simon Konecki had separated after eight years together. Immediately, several big questions sprang to mind, not the least of which was, when can we expect the most epic breakup album of all time? We kid Adele out of love. No, what fans really wanted to know was how much will Adele be forced to pay Simon (Hint: it’s a lot), and what caused these two to call it quits. After all, it wasn’t so terribly long ago that Adele seemed to be head-over-heels for Simon, and vice-versa. But then again, a lot has happened in the eight years since Adele and Simon got together. The split was announced on Friday with the usual boilerplate statements from reps for the couple: “Adele and her partner have separated,” the statement read. “They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.” Needless to say, not a ton of information there. But while there’s been “no further comment” from Adele’s team, insiders close to the situation have offered valuable insights to the media. A clear picture is beginning to emerge with regard to what led Adele and Simon to their decision to part ways — and it sounds like it’s a familiar set of circumstances that afflicts many celebrity marriages. “They had a lot in common early on, but eventually they just grew apart,” an insider tells E! News. “She became a bigger and bigger star, and he was okay [with] being in the background, but as she got bigger and had massive tours and intense schedules, they just grew apart.” Like we said, it’s a tale as old as time. It’s basically A Star Is Born , except Simon got a nice big settlement check instead of punching his own ticket in the garage. Oh, um … spoiler alert for A Star is Born . The source claims the split came as a shock even to the singer’s closest friends: “Their marriage was clearly working for a very long time,” the insider adds. “Whenever she was out at big openings and special events, he was usually with her, and they looked really just happy together and in love.” The source believes both parties continued working on the relationship until the very end, saying: “They were into the marriage pretty much until they decided this just isn’t working anymore.” Fortunately, it sounds as though Adele and Simon are committed to keeping the split amicable for the sake of their son, 6-year-old Angelo. “It’s highly unlikely this is going to get ugly,” says the source. That’s a good thing. After all, Adele has an album to record. View Slideshow: 19 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces Ever: Where Does Jeff Bezos Rank?

Adele and Simon Konecki: It’s Over!

Posted on April 20, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sad news, everyone. Adele — beautiful, amazing, insanely talented and beloved Adele — is getting divorced. Yes, she and Simon Konecki, her partner for the better part of this decade and her husband of two years, are splitting up. The news definitely comes out of nowhere, but then again, these two have always been exceedingly private. They began dating over seven years ago , as we first saw Adele with the philanthropist in January of 2017. Things moved very fast from there, because in October, they welcomed their first child together , a son they named Angelo. Remember, they’re so private that they didn’t even announce the kid’s name, we just figured it out when she was seen rocking an “Angelo” necklace. At some point (seriously, we really know so little about their relationship), they got married. It’s believed this happened sometime in late 2016 or early 2017, because in January of 2017, they were spotted wearing wedding bands. At the Grammy Awards that February, she referred to him as her husband , and a month later, she finally confirmed during a concert that they were husband and wife . “That feeling when you first fall for someone is the best feeling on earth,” she said then, “and I am addicted to that feeling.” “Obviously I can’t go through with those feelings because I’m married now,” she added. “I’ve found my next person.” In hindsight, that’s definitely a weird comment — was she admitting that she had been falling for other people? Also, don’t people in such committed relationships refer to their partner as just their “person,” not their next person? Well, either way, it’s over now. Adele’s rep made a statement , and in it, he confirmed “Adele and her partner have separated.” “They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy.” “There will be no further comment,” the statement concluded. If you keep up closely with Adele, this news may not come as such a shock. Last month, she was in New York, partying with Jennifer Lawrence. And while that alone wouldn’t have been a tip-off that something was amiss, the fact that she was also photographed going into a recording studio without her wedding ring was a pretty big sign. Yep, nobody does breakup music like Adele, and it looks like there’s a definite possibility of getting a new song or two soon. Or maybe even a whole album. Obviously it’s not like we’re glad she’s getting divorced so we can get some incredible breakup album, but in situations like this, you have to look at the silver lining, right? Here’s hoping Adele and Simon really are able to get along with each other for the sake of their son. What a sad, sad time. View Slideshow: 15 Reasons Why Adele Would Make the PERFECT Drinking Buddy

Big Brother Spoilers: Who Is Being Sent Home?

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been a crazy first week inside the Big Brother house, and the action does not look like it’s going to die down anytime soon.  With Megan self-evicting and leaving the house, Alex was put on the block by Cody, and most of the ladies seem to want her gone because she proved during the HOH competition that she was a strong competitor.  Jessica made it clear to Cody that they should be targeting her for eviction, but Cody has been having conversations with Matt and Mark about it being silly to send her out of the game so soon.  The three men feel like she could be loyal to them if they show her they are not sending her home. They do have a point, but would it be worth turning on their alliance so soon?  Maybe Cody realizes that Jessica is just using him to shield her from the block.  Turns out, neither of them needs to worry about it since Alex dominated the POV competition, securing her safety. However, Jessica seemed to think Cody threw the competition to her and seemed jealous her showmance is in danger.  Yes, there are showmances already. Would it be Big Brother without them? Surprisingly, the target for a backdoor eviction is Jason. Paul’s name is not being thrown around … yet. According to the feeds, Paul won three weeks of safety and cannot be put on the block.  He’s keeping it to himself until he needs to reveal the truth if someone puts him up. That should make for some interesting conversations.  So, it looks like Alex, Ramses, and Jillian could live to fight another week together in the game.  Cody did pull Alex and Jillian aside because they were exiling themselves from the other houseguests, and made it clear it was only Megan he did not like.  As of right now, Jason looks set to be sent up and out of the game on Thursday.  This is Big Brother, and things change on an hourly basis, so we will keep you up to speed.  View Slideshow: Big Brother Winners: RANKED!

Kylie Jenner: Refusing to Film Reality TV Series?

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kylie Jenner’s reality TV series might be going the way of Rob & Chyna. By that, we mean it’s probably going to be a steaming pile of garbage that still manages to pull in solid ratings.  Life of Kylie  has been in production for a while now, but apparently, insiders of the show are furious with the way the 19-year-old has been acting . Hey, it’s not like anyone ever compliments a Kardashian for the way they act.  We’re convinced Kris Jenner holds weekly classes with her brood to make sure they know what their plan is to stay in the headlines for the week. With Kris resorting to promoting healthy tea products on social media, the family must be in dire straits.  If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , you will already know that Kylie Jenner is one of those teenagers who gets everything she wants.  That’s sort of what happens when you are brought up in front of reality TV cameras and you have a life that most would kill for. As sad and pathetic as it sounds, Kylie’s blatant attempts to get in the headlines are probably brought on by her desire to be the biggest celebrity in the family.  Just like her brother, Rob Kardashian did during the production of his own series, Kylie has allegedly been holding up the shooting of Life of Kylie and has even been skipping out on production some days.  Jenner “refuses to go into the studio and do her pickups,” a source close to production revealed to Radar. We always hear things about the Kardashians being difficult people, and we’ll be taking these claims with a pinch of salt. There’s no confirmation of it.  “It is like Kylie doesn’t even care, she just ignores any schedule that dictates when she is supposed to be in the studio.” Being in production, it takes a lot to set filming days up, so you can only imagine the looks of disgust Kylie must be getting if this is, indeed, how she’s been acting.  “Kylie just doesn’t show up when she is needed, and no one knows that she isn’t coming,” the source continued. That’s totally uncool, and it won’t be doing much for the morale on set.  Maybe Kylie is worried about the show being a failure and is having second thoughts about sticking with it. It’s not exactly the best time to launch a new iteration of the series when you consider just how terrible the parent series is performing in the ratings.  “Kylie is upset at how the show is turning out, and she is running out of content. She does not want to give too much away … but the footage just seems boring and basic to her!” Keeping aspects of her life hidden from the series is not going to do much to make it a success. Viewers will be able to pick up on Kylie keeping quiet about things.  “She’s totally spoiled and doesn’t care about anything. It’s unprofessional,” the report concluded.  Something tells us the Kardashian family will be blacklisted by E! if they are really skipping out on filming. What’s the point of signing up for a TV show to bail on filming at the drop of a hat? There’s also the possibility Jenner is too busy too filming because she’s trying to find a way to deflect the latest scandals that rock her young life.  The series is set to debut this month. If you like watching someone showing lots of cleavage and a side dose of sass, you will love it.  If not, then you can make it watchable by taking a drink of vodka every single time she takes a selfie.  Yawn.  View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Channels Barbie in RACY New Photo Shoot!

Adele Cancels Remainder of Tour: Is She Done Performing Forever?!

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Adele is, if we’re being honest, a beautiful gift that we’ve never deserved. But still, even though we know we don’t deserve her and all her glory , that doesn’t mean we’re ready for her to leave us anytime soon. Unfortunately, it seems like we don’t have much of a choice, and thanks to a few new updates from the woman herself, we’re starting to prepare ourselves for the worst. For our first piece of evidence, we have a note that Adele wrote and included in her tour program for her series of concerts at Wembley Stadium. For the big finale of her current tour, she’s doing four shows at Wembley — or she was. More on that in a moment. In the note, she wrote that “Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn’t suit me particularly well.” “I’m a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things. Plus I’m dramatic and have a terrible history of touring . Until now that is!” She wrote that she’d done 119 shows in the tour, plus the four at Wembley, and “I only ever did this tour for you and to hopefully have an impact on you the way that some of my favorite artists have had on me live.” “And I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don’t know if I’ll ever tour again and so I want my last time to be at home.” And there it is. Cuts like a knife, doesn’t it? So according to that note, the fans that managed to get tickets to the finale of her tour are super, super lucky. Or they were if they caught the first two shows. Yesterday, after playing her second show, she made a heartfelt announcement on Twitter that she’d be canceling the remaining two shows. Meaning that the tour is over, and there’s a good chance that we’ll never get another chance to see her tour again. In the post she wrote on Twitter, Adele explained that “The last two nights at Wembley have been the biggest and best shows of my life.” She said she never thought she could pull off a show that big — classic Adele adorableness . “However,” she continued, “I’ve struggled vocally both nights. I had to push a lot harder than I normally do.” She said that, after going to see her doctor, she learned that her vocal cords have been damaged, and “on medical advice I am unable to perform over the weekend.” It’s not the first time she’s experienced trouble from her vocal cords — after experiencing some similar issues, she had to take a good deal of time off for surgery to repair the problem in 2011. This time around, she told her fans that “To say I’m heartbroken would be a complete understatement.” She’s been trying steroids and other various treatments, and she said that she’s considered pushing on with the show anyway, but if she did, she likely couldn’t even finish the set. “I’m so desperate to do them that I’ve even considered miming, just to be in front of you and be with you,” she added. That would be a whole new kind of precious , but she’s decided against that route. “I’m sorry,” she wrote to her fans. “I’m sorry for your disappointment. I’m sorry for the nights you would have had with your loved ones and the memories you would have made together.” “I’m sorry for the time and money you’ve spent organizing your trips. You know I would not make this decision lightly.” Poor, sweet Adele also said that she’s really struggling with coming to terms that she won’t get to do those last two shows, but that she’ll figure out a way to make it right. For the time being, she said that returns will be offered if the shows can’t be rescheduled, and she’ll have more information soon. View Slideshow: 15 Reasons Why Adele Would Make the PERFECT Drinking Buddy “I’m devastated,” she wrote at the end of her note. “I’m sorry. I love you I’m so sorry, please forgive me.” How is this woman so perfect? And how can we go on if she never performs again?
