The latest issue of People magazine goes inside Adele’s health crisis and comeback. She had surgery on her vocal chords in November and the magazine takes a look inside her emotional songs, her triumphant return to music and her self-confidence.

People magazine reports:

“She got to where she is through sheer hard work,” says Arthur Boulton, her teacher at London’s BRIT School.

She also succeeded by being true to herself. While Karl Lagerfeld recently called the singer “a little too fat,” Adele has always embraced her curves, and seems determined not to bend to body bullies.

“I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines,” she says. “I represent the majority of women and I’m very proud of that.”

We are very proud of her for representing the majority of women and showing that it doesn’t take a skinny, vapid, Hollywood type to become famous — it only takes talent, hard work and determination. For that, we applaud her.

Take note, Kim Kardashian.

People magazine’s latest issue features a story on Demi Moore and the real reason that she sought treatment. As it turns out, she is obsessed with the idea of staying young.

Demi turns 50-years-old on November 11, 2012, but apparently she was interested in living the young, wild life. Sources have revealed that Demi was barely eating and partying like crazy before her trip to the hospital recently.

A source said, “As Demi got older, she convinced herself that she needed to stay young and skinny to remain attractive to her husband. She needed reassurance all the time that she was hot and sexy.”

Another source said that Demi “was always fixated on being young. And the only thing that tied her to that, as she got older, was her marriage to a younger guy and hanging around young people.”

We hope that Demi is able to reconcile the outside of herself with whatever is going on inside of her. She’s troubled and sick and we hope that she gets the help that she needs.

Heidi Klum’s divorce from Seal is front and center on the latest cover of People magazine.

In May 2005, the formerly happy couple married on a beach in Mexico. On January 22nd, they announced that they were separating. We were holding out hope for them to remain a couple, but it was no use. They were always doing the craziest things together for Halloween and they renewed their wedding vows on a yearly basis. So what went wrong?

A pal close to Heidi said, “They were just really great at keeping it private and putting on that ‘perfect couple’ front that everyone expected. It’s actually been about six months that they’ve been working through some issues.”

A source close to the couple revealed, “It was a crazy love affair with highs and lows. Most people can’t sustain the highs when they’re that extreme.”

A Seal source added, “I believe they were madly in love.”

Do you think that they will try to work through their differences? Or is it too late for them to resolve whatever issues they were facing. It seems as if Seal didn’t want the divorce at all.

What do you think?

A couple of weeks ago, it was rumored that Johnny Depp and his long-time girlfriend Vanessa Paradis were headed for a breakup.

A source said, “Johnny isn’t handling anything well right now. People around him are worried about how Johnny is doing because he and Vanessa seem so fractured right now. Their relationship is heading toward the end.”

The source continued, “Johnny has started reaching out to lawyers, probably to quietly discuss how to get out of the relationship. They’re not married but they’ve been together for years and have kids together so it isn’t as easy as just breaking up.”

The spy added, “Johnny is so talented at acting, but he doesn’t seem able to hide how badly things are going right now.”

Now, according to the latest cover of People magazine, they are living sad, separate lives. People reports:

Depp, 48, and Paradis, 39, who are parents to Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, 9, have not appeared side-by-side on a red carpet for more than a year. Multiple sources tell PEOPLE in this week’s cover story that the relationship is all but officially finished.

In fact, some in their circle say the couple of nearly 14 years have already split. Says one insider: “It’s so sad.”

Let’s hope that the rumors aren’t true. They’ve been together for what seems like forever and they make a really cute couple. Besides that, she seems to be the one that wants to put up with his rumored lack of showering. So there’s always that.

What do you think? Will they confirm that they’ve already split up?

According to the host of The Bachelor, Chris Harrison, it’s going to be a very nude season for Ben Flajnik!

Chris said, “It’s a very nude season. Ben is very comfortable in his own skin. He doesn’t have modesty issues.”

We’ve already seen the nude skinny dipping preview in the show’s first episode, in which Ben takes one of the ladies for a dip in the water. In case you’ve missed the first episode of the season, you can read our recap here.

So there’s going to be even more nudity than what was teased in the first preview clip? I guess Ben is looking for a lady that will get down and dirty!

Have you seen the show this season? It was crazy and full of drama! Monica was hitting on another of the contestants, while Jenna was freaking out and crying in hysterics most of the night.

Who brought the drama the most the first night on the show? Who do you think Ben will end up with? And seeing from the preview they showed at the end of the show, it would appear that there’s more crying than nudity, but that’s our first impression. Can we get a rose for that?

The above photo is of a People magazine cover for the January 7, 2012 issue of the tabloid, claiming that Twilight actor Taylor Lautner is coming out as gay. It would have been a total bombshell of a story — if it were true.

A photo of Taylor is covered with the text, “Exclusive”, along with the subtitle, “Out & Proud”. Underneath that, it says, “Tired of rumors, the Twilight star opens up about his decision to finally come out. ‘I’m more liberated, and happier than I’ve ever been.”

A representative for the magazine told Gossip Cop that the cover is a fake!

It’s a good fake, though, isn’t it? This is how rumors get started. Still, the Photoshopper who made this did a pretty good job, as compared to their real magazine covers.

Taylor Lautner himself has yet to comment on the gay rumors. Did you buy into the hype?

Something like this starts off on Twitter and just spreads like wildfire on the internet. Did you see the cover and think that Taylor was really coming out as gay? Let us know in the comments!

Brave TV host Giuliana Rancic talked to People magazine about her upcoming double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.

She said of the scars that she’ll have as a result of her surgeries, “I think scars tell such an incredible story. I’ll always look at them and think, ‘Wow, I made it through that.’”

She revealed that she still gets shocked over the scary cancer diagnosis that she received. She said, “Usually it’s 2 in the morning, and I’ll turn around from Bill so I don’t wake him up, and I just cry. I sob and think, ‘How did this happen?’”

She is determined to get through this, though, adding, “My breasts have never defined me – and now they never will.”

Her surgery is scheduled for December 13, 2011. We wish her the best of luck!

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher’s divorce is front and center on the December 5, 2011 issue of People magazine. On Thursday, Demi announced that she was ending her marriage of six years to Ashton “with great sadness and a heavy heart”.

So what went wrong? Was he a notorious cheater? As it turns out, there was some skepticism about their relationship, along with their age difference, his “wandering eye” and her insecurities.

A pal of Ashton’s said that the marriage “had been deteriorating for a long time. Ashton was ready to end it, but he wanted to wait for Demi to actually do it. He loved her but couldn’t live with her.”

The pal revealed that Demi “really wanted to save the marriage but couldn’t deal with the pain of his cheating.” Another source said, “They were fed up with each other.”

Ashton’s friend added, “If anyone was uncomfortable with the age difference, it was Demi, not Ashton. She drove him crazy after a while with questions and doubts.”

Oh well, it’s over now and they can both move on in happier relationships with people who care about them. Did you think it would last as long as it did?

We’ve got a feeling that today’s magazine covers are likely to be all about Kim Kardashian’s divorce from Kris Humphries. So far, OK! magazine is telling us “what really happened” without really telling us the details.

Now, People magazine is asking the most obvious question of all….Was Kim’s marriage a mistake or was it fake? We can answer that one pretty easily. It was a fake mistake! How hard was that? There, I saved you $3.00, you can put the check in the mail now. Again, you could do that, or you can read her statement on the matter.

People reports:

“Throughout their whole engagement they were so excited for what was to come and their life together,” says another close Kardashian source. “But once they slowed down and settled into ‘real life,’ it became apparent that this wasn’t what they both thought it was.”

Kardashian, who was dating model Gabriel Aubry this time last year, and began seeing Humphries, 26, a former forward for the New Jersey Nets in November 2010, “is embarrassed about the entire thing,” says the source. “She got caught up in the fairy tale, but her heart wasn’t there in the end.”

What do you think? Do you even care about the Kardashian overload at this point? Sound off in the comments below!

Kim Kardashian’s wedding photos are front and center on the latest cover of People magazine. Because this entire shindig wasn’t famewhored out enough, she sold her engagement photos to the magazine for a whopping $300,000. She was also said to have made $1.5 million from the sale of the wedding photos in this issue!

And here we thought that weddings were supposed to cost money, not make any!

So, in case you haven’t been aware this past week, it’s been total Kardashian mania. If you haven’t seen 800,000 Kim Kardashian headlines, then she hasn’t done her best at selling the family name. That name, as we’ve always pointed out, was only made famous because some dude peed on her in a sex tape. A tape that was “leaked” (she signed off on it) and catapulted her to superstardom.

But, seriously folks, can we really please stop calling this idiot and her husband “America’s Royal Couple”? She’s nowhere near royalty, for those of us who’ve visited KimKSuperstar.com and we know how she got where she is today. To call that royalty is just a disgrace of the word.

Thanks.
