When it comes to secret agents, the biggest singer in the world isn’t really the sort of person who could fit that description.  However, when that singer is Adele Adkins, you might want to think again.  After all, she hid her pregnancy and even managed to get married in secret, which is pretty impressive with the hordes of photographers following her every move.  However, there was one secret even Adele and James Bond together couldn’t keep:  Adele will be singing the theme song for the newest James Bond movie.  The title track to Skyfall will be debuting on October 5, the 50th anniversary of Dr. No and James Bond Day.

“I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for Skyfall,” admitted Adele, who wrote the song with frequent collaborator Paul Epworth.  “There’s a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song.  But I fell in love with the script and Paul had some great ideas for the track and it ended up being a bit of a no-brainer to do it. … I’ll be back combing my hair when I’m 60, telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day!”

The 23rd Bond adventure, Skyfall will be directed by American Beauty helmsman Sam Mendes from a script by frequent Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, as well as Gladiator writer John Logan.  Daniel Craig will once again be the star attraction and Popsicle model.  All in all, it seems like a pretty good set-up for a movie that wasn’t even supposed to happen due to money problems.

Fittingly, “Skyfall” will debut on Adele’s website on Friday at 0:07 British Standard Time, or 7:07 PM Eastern Time on Thursday.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
