Adele Faces Fine for Not Registering Her Baby's Birth

When British singer Adele welcomed a baby boy into her life, she probably didn't consider welcoming a £1000 ($1606 USD) fine into her life. But she may have to pay that money for failing to register her little boy's birth.

In the UK, it is a requirement that new parents register the birth of their children within 42 days of the child being born. However, the 24-year-old and her husband, Simon Konecki, have failed to register the arrival of their baby boy within that 42 day deadline.

When parents register their children, they are required to file documentation that includes the place and date of the birth, the sex of the new baby and details of the parents.

We still send our congratulations to the happy couple!

Adele's 21 Sells over 10 Million - That's the math we like!

Los Angeles Times

21 is named for the chanteuse's age when she was recording the album and maybe that was lucky because it just became the 21st album to sell 10 million copies. 21 hasn't left the Billboard Top 100 since it's debut at number one last February.

In a detailed analysis, Billboard's Keith Caulfield says "21" is one of eight albums to move 10 million copies in their first two years of release. The others include Santana's "Supernatural," the "Bodyguard" soundtrack and "Jagged Little Pill" by Alanis Morissette. N Sync's "No Strings Attached" and the Backstreet Boys' "Millennium" got there even faster, hitting the 10-million mark in less than 11 months.

Just incredible, but then so is the album! What do you think? Do you own 21?
