British singing sensation Adele lands on the cover of the latest issue of TIME. She chats with writer Sam Lansky about letting go of social media to write her album, "25," rumors that she turned down a collaboration with Beyonce, her success, motherhood, acting and more.
One of my favorite moments with Adele was how naturally she dropped this pic.twitter.com/rT9LvZpf0E
— Sam Lansky (@samlansky) December 21, 2015She’s not sure why she’s so phenomenally successful, but she has an idea.
Why do so many people respond to Adele’s songs? “The fact that I’m not shy or embarrassed to be falling apart,” she says when asked. “Everyone falls apart, I think. A lot of people try to be brave and not shed a tear. Sometimes when you know someone else feels as s— as you do, or approaches things in a certain way just like you do, it makes you feel better about yourself. Even though my music is melancholy, there’s also joy in that. I hope I do bring joy to people’s lives, and not just sadness, but I think there’s there’s a comfort in it. But I honestly don’t know. If I knew, I would bottle it, and sell it to everyone else.”
Just because there are no duets on this album doesn’t mean there won’t be one on the next.
When asked about the rumors that she turned down the opportunity to do a duet with Beyoncé for 25, Adele cackles. “Whoever started that rumor must have been having a laugh because anyone who knows me knows that my main priority in life outside of my child is Beyoncé,” she says. “I really wanted to do a duet on this album. I spoke to someone about it who I wanted to do it with, and we got on like a house on fire, and then we just couldn’t logistically really get it to work. I can’t say who it is because I want to do it in the future. That’s the only reason. It wasn’t Beyoncé!”
She had to cut out social media in order to write her album.
Although Adele approves everything that goes out on her social platforms, she doesn’t manage them herself. It’s part of keeping herself free from distraction so she can create high-quality work. “Privacy is key to being able to write a real record, whether people like it or not,” she says. “My life has changed so much, but I’ve made the realest record I can make, and it’s the real part of me. How am I supposed to write a real record if I’m waiting for half a million likes on a f—ing photo? That ain’t real.”

As we previously reported, Martin Shkreli was recently arrested and charged by U.S. prosecutors with securities fraud conspiracy, securities fraud and wire fraud conspiracy. If convicted on all charges he could land in prison for 20 years.
After posting $5 million bond, Shkreli, stepped down as CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals and as of today has been fired as CEO of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals.
He believes his arrest is linked to his decision to have Turing hike up the price of a 60-year-old drug called Daraprim, to $750 a tablet from $13.50, overnight.
"Trying to find anything we could to stop him' was the attitude of the government," Shkreli told the Wall Street Journal.
TMZ reports that the funds generated from Shkreli's alleged fraudulent activities could be as much as $65 million. If it's determined that any of his possessions, including the $2 million Wu Tang Clan album, "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin," were purchased with that money, they could be subject to forfeiture by the government.
Even if certain items weren't bought with those funds, Shkreli may be forced to hand them over to pay restitution, which means expensive possessions like the Wu Tang Clan album could be auctioned off.

It was an honest mistake, but the internet is heartless and shows no mercy.
Steve Harvey was hosting the Miss Universe pageant Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015, when he incorrectly announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez had won the crown. The "Family Feud" host quickly realized his mistake and apologized, before naming Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach the winner.
Former Miss Universe Paulina Vega, center, removes the crown from Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez, left, before giving it to Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, right.
Harvey later took to Twitter to apologize again.
I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.

Sasha Cream
THE NAKED TRUTH
Adult entertainment actress and model, Sasha Cream has unleashed a tell-all book on Amazon just in time for holiday reading.
Atlanta Ga 10/22/15 DATE—Adult entertainer, model, and entrepreneur Sasha Cream has had a career that seems almost unbelievable. Her new book, The Naked Truth, looks to set the record straight on her life as an adult entertainer, call-girl, and friend to the stars. Cream delves into the lurid details of Cee Lo Green's sexual fantasies, as well as, dishes the dirt on other stars like French Montana, Darius Miles, Soulja Boy and Bow Wow. Her book is a tell-all from the perspective of an outsider masquerading as an insider.
“This is my story, my truth,” says Sasha Cream. “It's not a call out book or a gossip column, although people reading for celebrity dish won't be disappointed. It's
about my perspective on love, respect, sex, and power. I got into everything— from modeling at a young age, to my getting into adult entertainment, and how I had to
create my own brand so that I could make money for myself, not others.”
The book provides an inside look at life inside the adult entertainment industry and how to not only survive but thrive within it. Cream develops her story beginning
with her life growing up in Toledo and how she ended up on the arm of some of the most famous hip hop stars in the game.
“I am not sugar-coating my life,” says Cream. “I'm telling it like it is. All the good, the bad, the ugly, and the sexy. People who read my book are going to get the total truth about what it's like to be in the business—everything from how you are treated, what type of money you can make, and how to market yourself and make a
career.”
Cream's book isn't your typical look at the industry because it is being told by someone who is currently still making a living within it. The book isn't a sad tale of
sex, drugs, and abuse. It's a high-spirited account of what it's like to make a living with sex and how to maintain a balance throughout the wild ride. From hotel rooms to expansive mansions, The Naked Truth, takes you everywhere you never thought you'd go and back again.
The Naked Truth can be purchased through Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Sasha-Cream-Street-Chronicles-Presents/dp/1940574374

Travel restrictions handed down by Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley in a Philadelphia courtroom on Thursday, December 17, are costing Meek Mill a lot of money.
Meek, real name Robert Williams, was found guilty of violating his probation. He will have to appear back in court on February 5, to find out if he will be sent back to jail.
Brinkley ruled that the 28-year old rapper cannot leave Philadelphia and can't work or perform except for community service until then.
TMZ reports that the timing is especially bad for Meek financially because of previous commitments.
He is paying the lease on a Los Angeles home he lives in with girlfriend Nicki Minaj, has concerts lined up and studio time booked in L.A. for $15,000 a week.
Meek is also worried about backlash he'll receive from fans when he doesn't show up for a sold out Las Vegas concert he and Nicki have booked.

At just 29-years old and four albums into his career (if you include "If You're Reading This It's Too Late"), Drake is arguably the number one artist in hip hip.
In the eyes of rapper Kat Torres a.k.a. getatKAT, her fellow Toronto native is already the best to ever do it. At least that's the caption she wrote on a photo of herself with Drizzy.
Former Toronto Raptors basketball player, Alan Anderson, who now plays for the Washington Wizards, believes Torres might want to pump her brakes.
“Don’t get carried away sis. He’s one of the best but DEFINITELY not the goat," Anderson replied.
"Give it time," Champagne Papi told Anderson in response.
Do you think when it's all said and done Drake will surpass all of hip hop's greats to claim the top spot?

In the latest video offering from Action Bronson, we find the world's most infamous gourmand reunited with an old high-school friend turned truffle dealer.
Our day begins at Urbani Truffles in Midtown Manhattan, where our guide, Mike Rojas, displays an unprecedented amount of black and white truffles to stoke Mr. Bronson's excitement for this exquisite tuber. A plan is set, and then we are off to the holiest of the holies: Per Se. It is here that chef de cuisine Eli Kaimeh prepares soft-scrambled Americauna Hen eggs with Castelmagno cheese and shaved white truffles, served to Action and his friend on a gold plate. After this, we could have stopped and went home satisfied, but we pressed onward towards the temple of regional Italian cooking: Babbo.
We were greeted outside by the executive chef, Frank Langello, and quickly escorted to the kitchen so that Frank could get his hands on some of our white truffles. With business out of the way, we perched at the bar to try the braised beef agnolotti with butter and Parmigiano under a blanket of the day's theme.
Next, we headed to the Upper East Side for dinner at Michael White's new French restaurant, Vaucluse. This was Action's first time at Michael's new place, so we went a little beyond the requisite pasta with butter and truffles and added aged steak and a cheeseburger with black truffles to the tally. All in all, it was a day of eating that few have ever experienced, let alone in a satin Jets jacket.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT FTD and @munchies PRESENT THE TRUFFLE SHUFFLE ELEGANCE LIKE UVE NEVER WITNESSED. https://t.co/IM7Kl5GN0K Enjoy.

Nineteen years after one of the most influential and charismatic rappers in history was taken from us, a movie about his life and death is finally being made.
Production on the Tupac Shakur biopic titled "All Eyez On Me" began earlier this week in Atlanta. The man who has been cast to play the music icon is Demetrius Shipp, Jr.
Demetrius, who has no previous acting experience, was cast by producer L.T. Hutton. Since accepting the role of a lifetime, he has been taking acting classes 4 times a week. He was selected largely in part because of his remarkable resemblance to Shakur, according to TMZ.
The Morgan Creek Productions flick is being directed by Benny Boom.
