Adele on Motherhood: "I Have Eczema From Boiling Bottles"

Mommy's first night out was a smashing success for Adele! Attending the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills on Sunday Jan. 13, the British singer, 24 -- at her first event since the birth of her son in October -- was resplendent in a Burberry dress, Miu Miu heels and jewelry by Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels. As widely suspected, the "Skyfall" chanteuse and songwriter ended up being victorious in the Best Song category, and acknowledged her "lovely son" during her ebullient acceptance speech.

Chatting with reporters backstage in the press room, the chart-topping star opened up (even if just for a moment) about how motherhood has changed her. "I have eczema from boiling bottles!" she admitted of caring for her little boy with boyfriend Simon Konecki. One thing Adele is keeping private? Her firstborn's name. "I am not sharing his name at the moment. It is very personal to me."

She was willing to confess, however, that motherhood bliss may mean a much happier followup to 21 -- the worldwide smash record beloved for its songs of romantic anguish. "I feel a little bit kind of overexcited," she told reporters. "It's my first night out since I had my child and my inspiration normally comes from heart break, but I don't think I am going to?have be devastated again."

And recording a theme song for one of the most iconic, and longest-running, film franchises ever was both daunting and an appropriate followup to 2011, in which she became a global superstar. "I had a huge weird strange bizarre year with my album 21 that just shot me to beyond fame, it was ridiculous and I was pregnant!" she explained. "I had my child about two weeks before the film came out. So it was bad timing," she joked.

Beyonce Shows Off Butt in Sexy New GQ Picture

More bootylicious than ever! Beyonce took over the web on Wednesday Jan. 9 when her sensationally sexy February cover of GQ -- in which she's named among the Sexiest Women of the 21st Century -- was leaked early online. One year after giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy, the singer, 31, appears to be in the best shape of her life: Flashing "underboob" in a cropped t-shirt and revealing her perfect abs and legs with a belly chain and skimpy bottoms.

GQ revealed an interior shot from the story early Thursday -- in which the "I Was Here" singer showcases her world-famous posterior in another seriously skimpy, sexy look. The superstar is set to pick up where Madonna left off at the Super Bowl next month, performing a much-anticipated half-time show.

"One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete," Jay-Z's wife tells GQ. "You know how they sit down and watch whoever they're going to play and study themselves? That’s how I treat this. I watch my performances, and I wish I could just enjoy them, but I see the light that was late. I see, 'Oh God, that hair did not work.' Or 'I should never do that again.' I try to perfect myself. I want to grow, and I’m always eager for new information."



And although Beyonce is over-the-moon to be a mom, the workaholic admits that it was tough not being able to do her job toward the end of her pregnancy in late 2011. "I love my job, but it's more than that: I need it. Because before I gave birth, it was the only time in my life, all throughout my life, that I was lost," she admits. "But I've sacrificed a lot of things, and I've worked harder than probably anyone I know, at least in the music industry. So I just have to remind myself that I deserve it."



The singer and actress is also well aware of her tremendous influence. "I now know that, yes, I am powerful. I'm more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand."

The February issue of GQ hits stands Jan. 22.

"Back in the studio," she tweeted cryptically on Thursday, Jan. 10. "Uh oh..."

The 22-year-old's whirlwind romance with Styles, 18, went south last week during a vacation on Virgin Gorda, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, sources told Us Weekly. They had a fight -- after which Swift cut her holiday short and flew solo back to Nashville.



"[Harry] said something he shouldn't have," one insider told Us. "This [breakup] is definitely going to be for good."

"They are 100 percent over," another source said of the couple, who were first spotted together back in November.



The Grammy-winning superstar didn't reveal any further details about her time in the studio, but she's been vocal about the fact that she regularly mines her personal relationships for new material. In the past, she has written songs about famous ex-flames including John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, and Joe Jonas.

"I've always lived by the theory that if a guy doesn't want me to write a bad song about him, he won't do bad things," she told Us in 2010. "And he shouldn't, you know?"

The former Voice coach toned down her usually eclectic wardrobe, opting for a simple white blazer and black slacks for her debut performance of the new song "Blank Page" onstage surrounded by candles.


But Aguilera, 32, wasn’t quite so calm just one day before, sources tell Us Weekly.

"She was very emotional," one insider told Us. "The song is about making mistakes and realizing you can't go back but you can start over with a blank slate."

"Christina expresses herself through her songs and this one is very emotional," the source continued. "This year is a new beginning for her and she's excited."



Another source reported that Aguilera was "sobbing" during rehearsals and even had the audience in tears while rehearsing her emotional song.

Following her performance Wednesday evening, Josh Duhamel hopped onstage to present Aguilera with the "People's Voice" award. The blonde star admitted to crying "four times" during Tuesday's rehearsals.



"Thank you for giving me this form of expression and letting me use my voice," the "Your Body" singer said in her acceptance speech. "It means so much to me. When I sing I believe it truly is the only time I can truly be myself."

"I find a home in music and I hope others can find a home in music as well."

On Tuesday Jan. 8, the reality star, 32, and rapper, 35, were spotted in the ultra-romantic French city. Three months along, Kardashian disguised her expanding curves in an all black ensemble including a dramatic, cape-like jacket, black pants and peep-toe boots, plus a tre-chic silk scarf around her neck.



Dating since last spring, the pair shopped at the celeb-beloved, high-end Lanvin and Celine stores before dining at L'Avenue restaurant.

Before their departure, a Kardashian source told Us the couple plan to holiday in Paris "for a week just to chill. It's a little babymoon!"

Back in the States, the couple and their baby-to-be will eventually have an over-the-top abode to call home. As a source confirmed to Us, the pair recently purchased an $11 million mansion in a gated community Bel Air, Calif. TMZ reports that the couple will tear down the property's current 10,000-square-foot house to make way for a 14,000 square-foot Italian-style villa with a gym, movie theater, salon, bowling alley and other amenities.
