In the most unlikely news of the week, Adele has been forced to deny she has made a sex tape.

The singer is taking legal action against French magazine Public, after they claimed the singer had been the star of an X-rated home video.

The magazine published compromising pictures which they claimed was the six-times Grammy Awards winner, but she has now hired kick-ass legal honchos Schillings to help her sue over the "untrue and grossly defamatory" claims.

A spokesperson for Adele told us: "These claims and images are entirely false."

Public had claimed the video was made by the mysterious ex-boyfriend who inspired the majority of Adele's biggest hits, in a revenge attack on the singer.

Adele - who has never revealed her ex-boyfriend's identity - has previously admitted he had tried to claim royalties on the records he inspired.

She told The Telegraph: "For about a week he was calling and was deadly serious about it. Finally, I said, ‘Well, you made my life hell, so I lived it and now I deserve it.'

"He thought he'd had some input into the creative process by being a p****. I'll give him his credit: he made me an adult and put me on the road I am travelling.”

Adele is currently dating charity worker Simon Konecki and is set to move into a £10m mansion with him, which she recently showed off on US news show 60 Minutes.

It is a big change for the star, after living with her mother for many years.

She told host Anderson Cooper: "After my first record I moved out of my mum's to Notting Hill on my own. My life fell apart. My phone got cut off, my credit card got cut off, the house was a mess. It was awful. So I moved back in with her.

"I'd rather be defeated than one day come in and the rats would be eating me. It was basically a bedsit with walls."

Valued at £7 million, with a monthly rent of £15,000, it's nonetheless a rustic cottage compared to Petra Ecclestone's LA mansion.

Sadly there seems to be a proliferation of extremely sad people such as yourself, who are only able to type the word 'who'.
You do not know of this artist ???
I would suggest you are totally ignorant of current affairs, and need to put your comics away for a while and start to watch the news a little more often.

Why are you suing Adele? There are hundreds of "Adele's" in the world so why do you think this story is about you? The magazine never mentions a surname so you have no grounds to sue unless you have Fat blonde faces Copywrited. If it isnt you then just ignor it unless you have something to hide of course.

The front cover alone shows Adele (the singer) against a still of the sex tape and a byline saying it is revenge from her ex, never mind what the article inside says. You're trying too hard to be clever.
