The UK soul screaming superstar had whose hit record ’21’ was multi Grammy Award winning machine last year. Adele, 24 wrote on her weblog that she is expecting with her guy, Simon Konecki.
Although ’21’ was a blockbuster selling more than 9 million copies, she has made it clear in the past that she is not in a hurry to make another album. Having children is clearly a priority for the star whose album, for 70 strait weeks, has been in the top 10. This week it is still sitting in no 7 and had been in the coveted first spot for 24 out of those 70 weeks.
This news should come as no suprise to hard core Adele fans as she has told magazinze that she really wants to be a “mum”. She has also stated that she wants to have 3 sons by the time she hits 30. Sounds like she will be pretty busy for the next 6 years.
Adele’s guy Simon runs a charity called Drop4Drop. The charity aims to get developing countries the clean water they so desperately need. They have been an item for almost a year.
Here is her note posted on her website:
“I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together, I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time.”
Lets hope that her next album is filled with happy songs, although she has not given date for any projects forthcoming.

The US announced late last night that they are chartering at least a couple of flight out of japan. This is not a mandatory evacuation but only a voluntary one. The US Government wants US Diplomats and their families currently in Japan to have a way home if they would like to do so.
The areas of Japan where US personnel are currently located are the US Embassy in Tokyo, the US Consulate in Nagoya and the Foreign Service Institute int Yakohama.
This Voluntary evacuation is also being extended to any US citizens currently in Japan as well. There is limited seating, so US citizens are encouraged to call ahead at 1-212-501-4444 or email [email protected]. US Citizens can also just show up at the airport and try to get a seat as well.
So far there is at least one Charter plane going to both the New International Airport in Tokyo and the Old International Airport in Haneda.
Priority will be given to US Citizens with medical conditions.
Also announce last night was the US Nuclear Regulatory Committee’s recommendation that US Citizens and personnel evacuate to at least 50 miles from the Fukushima power plant site. This is contradictory information from the Japanese Government who is recommending only a 12 mile evacuation.
