Adele has become "obsessed" with Beyonce while recovering from laryngitis.
The "Rolling in the Deep" singer had to cancel the second half of her US tour earlier this month because of the affliction to her vocal chords, and has been catching up with some music and TV she missed while resting at home in the UK.
"I'm at home now, watching box sets and sorting things out into neat piles and resting. i haven't been able to cook for almost 3 months cause Ive been on the road so I'm getting back into that (sic). Ive become obsessed with beyonce's I Am Sasha Fierce tour dvd and 30 rock, and Ive also started uploading over 1000 cds to my itunes! long but satisfying! i cant wait to be able to sing again, I'm bored stiff (sic)," she wrote on her site.
The vocalist also apologized for having to cancel her shows and promised her team are working on rescheduling them for as soon as possible. She also assured she is starting to feel better:

Linkin Park Back in the Studio
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Upcoming Releases, Pop, Rock,
Linkin Park have started on the follow up to A Thousand Suns with Rick Rubin. The "Shadow of the Day" group have "been in the studio writing" with the legendary producer, coming up with new ideas and revisiting material they started during sessions for their last album in 2010.
"Typically we'll have a once a week meeting to go listen to the songs that they're coming up with and talk about them. For so early in the project, they are much further along than they have been on the last two albums we did. On A Thousand Suns there were still a lot of irons in the fire. We knew, 'OK, we can't do this forever. Let's leave this batch and we'll come back and address it when we start up again," Rick said.
Linkin Park recently headlined Download festival in the UK, although their set did not feature any new material.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Upcoming Releases, Covers, Pop, Rock,
Pop-punk musician Avril Lavigne has already written eight songs for her next album. The "Smile" singer only released her fourth album, Goodbye Lullaby in March, but is keen to follow it up quickly, and has already been working on tracks.
"I already have 8 songs! I would like to release the 5th album really quick (sic). This record was more mellow, and the next one will be pop and more fun again. I already have a song that I know is going to be a single, I just need to re-record it (sic)!" she wrote on fan site Avril Lavigne Band Aids.
The 26-year-old also revealed she will be performing a cover of Coldplay's "Fix You" as part of her set when she tours this summer. Avril also caused controversy at the weekend when she appeared at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada, as she swore during her performance of "What the Hell," which was broadcast live on TV.
Ne-Yo Hopes to Collaborate With Beyonce
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Upcoming Releases,
Ne-Yo has been "talking" to Beyonce about doing a duet. The "So Sick" hitmaker - who is currently working on his fifth album Love and Passion, which will be released in September - has a number of collaborations in the works but has no confirmed singles coming out with big-named stars.
"There's a couple of people who I might be collaborating with on the next album, I don't know exactly who right now, but I've talked to a couple of people, Chris Brown and Dr. Dre, Beyonce about some stuff. But nothing is set in stone right now."
In addition, the 31-year-old singer - who penned Beyonce's hit single "Irreplaceable" - also has a soft spot for UK artists, including troubled singer Amy Winehouse.
"What do I like most about the UK? The weather! No, no, I like the vibe out here. It's a really cool vibe. I really like Plan B or Amy Winehouse and Adele."

Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera have recorded a duet together.
The singer and the Maroon 5 frontman are set to unveil the track, "Moves Like Jagger," on talent show The Voice - in which they are both judges - on Tuesday. Adam explained it was "great" working with the 30-year-old beauty, and he admitted he's looking forward to debuting the song.
"We are excited to perform it for our fans on The Voice this Tuesday and on the road this summer. The guys and I recorded this track in Los Angeles last month and it was great getting to work with Christina on it as well."
Adam recently admitted the pair - who sit alongside Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton on the TV show's panel - row "like brother and sister" on the show: "They fabricate a lot of that - a lot of that's reality television fodder. She's fine, we bicker like brother and sister."

Controversy Surrounds Rihanna’s New Video
Posted by Asya Krengauz Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Music Videos, R&B / Soul,
In Rihanna's new "Man Down" video, the singer once again takes on the issue of domestic violence, but some critics find it too violent and don't think it sends the right message. Though fans are fully supportive and have proven it via Twitter, a number of groups have spoken out and slammed the video. Women who have been victims of domestic abuse themselves will understand that among the many emotions domestically abused women feel, one of them is the need for revenge, which is what is portrayed in the video.
