Shhh! Adele Spills Her Secret 'Girl Crush' Obsession

A glowing Adele graces the cover of this month's Cosmopolitan Magazine, but insiders say on the day of the cover shoot, the 'Someone Like You' songstress was feeling anything but gorgeous. Plagued by the throat issues that forced the singer to cancel her North American Tour and deny cancer rumors, Adele was barely able to talk throughout the entire shoot. However, Adele did request something that would make her feel better -- for the shoot staff to turn off her music and turn UP Beyonce's album.

The NY Post's Page Six is reporting that an insider at the shoot claims Adele beseeched them to switch off her own CD because "she hated hearing herself" but then requested they blast Bey because she was her "girl crush." Wow!

Adele's obsession with Beyonce has been documented before, most recently in an interview with Q Magazine, where Adele recalled her memorable meeting with Jay-Z and his lady love at a 2011 Grammy party. "She went, 'Adele' and I went, 'Uh Beyonce!' And then Jay-Z went, 'Adele! I was like, 'You can't both call me Adele!' laughs the British diva. "I was like, 'Can I have a picture?' and Beyonce said, 'Can I have a picture with you?'"

It was then Beyonce uttered the line Adele will never forget. Bey told her famous fan, "When I listen to you, I feel like I'm listening to God." "I heard it but I was like, 'Don't let her know you've heard it,'" admits the self-described "common" Adele. "I ran out on the balcony and fell into her security's arms, going, 'She's so nice!' And literally collapsed. Sobbing my heart out, it was like being winded. Highlight of my life, ever."

"I don't know her but she's a huge part of my life," continues Adele "Everything I refer to has always got something to do with Destiny's Child or her. She just knows what she wants. She's in control of it all. She's classy. She's still totally f***ing relevant. And just a nice person."

Adele might be the president of Beyonce's celeb fan club, but the singer herself has her own famous super-fan ... Kelly Clarkson. Kel tells AOL Music,"I want to stalk Adele so she'll sing with me!"

I am personally getting tired of Huffington Post to push any rumor or what ever as long as it meets a gay agenda or creates enough sensationalism. Is there no real news out there any more or does Huff Post really need to cater to the gossip crowd that much?

I've heard of Beyonce...and yes she sings well. She isnt the best...but hey. WHO is "Adele"? And for a supposed adult to have such an infatuation with Beyonce to blaspheme...well that shows her mental problems. And for Beyonce to not stop Adele from saying things like that...well thats why the those types are called divas...

Adele has a beautiful voice, but she won't keep it long if she continues to smoke those cigarettes.
Most doctors will suggest that if you have any problems in the vocal area, and are smoking anything,
you'd do well to give it up because smoking exascerbates throat problems or any other ailment
concerning the voice box.
