Golden Globes 2013 Exclusive: See the Stars Backstage!

Jan 13, 2013 @ 10:44 pm

InStyle went backstage with all of the big winners at the Golden Globes! Best Supporting Actor winner Christoph Waltz took home the trophy for his stirring turn in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, and told InStyle.com he can’t wait to stash his award next to his other Golden Globe, which he received three years ago for Inglorious Basterds . “It sounds so ridiculous, but I put it with the other one,” Waltz said of his awards. “It’s in a cupboard, in a wardrobe, you know, behind closed doors. You can’t look at your awards all the time. Once in a while, maybe twice a month, I need to get into that wardrobe and then I see them.” And what went through Best Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence’s mind when her name was called? Pure joy! “I got to go on the stage!” she told InStyle.com. See more stars backstage and what they had to say about their new statues in the gallery!

Adele’s 21 Is the Highest-Selling Album for the Second Year

Jan 4, 2013 @ 11:07 am

It’s been almost two years since Adele released her chart-topping album, 21, and it’s still breaking records! Her second record—which also earned her six Grammy awards—became the highest-selling record for the second year in a row (both 2011 and 2012), making it the first album to ever do so. Adele’s album sold 4.4 million copies in 2012, and 5.8 million sold in 2011, Neilson SoundScan reported. And with her latest tune for the James Bond Movie, Skyfall, nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture, there may be some more accolades in the near future for the soulful crooner. Congrats!

Adele’s New Song for Skyfall: Listen Here!

Oct 2, 2012 @ 11:11 am

Adele let us know yesterday via Twitter (twice!) that she recorded the new theme song for the next Bond film, Skyfall (out in theaters Nov. 9), and that the track would be available this Friday here. But someone beat her to the draw: 30 seconds of the track has leaked online, and you can listen to it on the BBC. Each film’s theme song is a pivotal element of the iconic opening credit sequences, and through the years, giant contemporary musical artists have been tapped to write and/or perform it: Madonna, Carly Simon, Tina Turner, and Nancy Sinatra have all recorded their own versions. Adele’s powerful but melancholy voice will provide the backdrop for what the usual female-driven montage (perhaps featuring new Bond girl and InStyle favorite Bérénice Marlohe?). Listen to the leaked track here and tell us: do you like Adele as the newest musical Bond girl?

Why Did Adele Wear Armani to the Grammys? No Corset!

Jun 5, 2012 @ 3:05 pm

This just in: The sparkly Armani gown Adele wore to scoop up her six Grammy Awards was a last-minute decision! And it’s all thanks to a too-tight corset that made her change her mind. “I actually had another dress made and I ended up passing out in it,” the British powerhouse told Matt Lauer in an interview that aired last night. “I was like, ‘I can’t wear that,’ so I ended up wearing [the Armani] instead.” And that wasn’t her only Grammys dress secret: “I had three or four pairs of Spanx on that night, but I loved [the dress].” Looks like we weren’t alone in helping Spanx creator Sarah Blakely become the youngest self-made female billionaire! Watch the clip above.
