These Singers Are Not “Divas”

Splash News

VH1 is bringing back its “VH1 Divas” concert series Sept. 17 after a four-year hiatus. But don’t get too excited yet. Some idiot over at the network thinks Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis, Kelly Clarkson, and Adele should join the ranks of Mary J. Blige, Cher, Aretha Franklin, and Celine Dion, who have all been honored on the broadcast concert before. These four young singers, however, are not divas—they’re not even on their way to becoming divas!

Adele In Vogue And Other Airbrushing Scandals This Year

Adele in Vogue

Grammy-winning singer Adele is included in Vogue‘s “shape” issue (the one with Beyonce on the cover). While we’re excited she’s in the mag, we’re less thrilled with how she looks. Yes, the photo is gorgeous, but that is not Adele. Where did her body go?

The past year has been filled with airbrushing scandals in magazines, ads, and more. Click through for some of the most obvious retouching from the last year.

M.I.A. performs at the Grammys

Record of the Year nominee M.I.A. didn’t win, but she didn’t go into labor on stage either, which was a distinct possibility since yesterday was her due date.

Are Plus-Sized Woman Finally Acceptable Fashion Icons?

Adele

Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is not known for loving larger women. In fact, she even got Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy to see a trainer and go on a diet for a story in the magazine’s April 2008 issue. But it seems as though Wintour is changing her tune. The British, Grammy-nominated singer Adele was recently photographed by Annie Liebovitz for an issue of Vogue, and Wintour took such a liking to her that the editor offered to style her for the Grammy Awards. Hmm… This sounds a lot like the time when Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley took Jennifer Hudson under his Balenciaga-designed wing, after she was nominated for an Oscar for “Dreamgirls.” Could it be possible that Vogue has, at last, realized that amazing women come in double-digit sizes? We certainly hope so, because most of us look a whole lot more like Adele in clothes than we do Kate Moss. Now, if Wintour can aid Adele in landing a deal as the face of some fashion house, then we’ll really know that change has come.
