All the feels
Adele has made no secret of the fact that her new album, 30, is predominantly about her divorce from Simon Konecki. While Simon doesn't exactly like that their private life together is being picked apart, he knew what a relationship with the moody singer entailed… In other words, he signed up for this. "Simon likes to be under the radar. He doesn't attend big glamorous Hollywood events. He certainly doesn't discuss his marriage at all with people," a source told The Mirror. "He has had to resign himself to the fact that she would talk. He knew the risks going in. This is the type of artist she is, she wears her heart on her sleeve." Adele and Simon share 9-year-old son, Angelo. Although Adele has admitted over the year that the split was difficult, she and Simon remain close. In fact, they live across the street from each other. "They have a very modern-day family dynamic," The Mirror's source said. "They've been adamant any personal tension should never come ahead of what's best for Angelo."

Get up and move
Dakota Johnson's father, Don Johnson, was removed from the screening of her new Netflix movie just before the film started this week. On Nov. 19, the "Miami Vice" star spoke about the odd incident on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live. "I had to get there a half hour early to get tested, for the, you know, for COVID. And so I went in, I got tested and so on and so forth," he said. Don and his wife, Kelly, then made their way into their reserved seats. "The dude comes in and he says, 'Mr. Johnson, could you step outside, I want to talk to you.' I said, 'no, whatever you got to say, just tell me here.' And he's, he gets really nervous. He leans down and whispers in my ear 'you tested positive.' So I went, 'no, I didn't.' He said, 'yes, you did.' So he asked me to get up," the actor said. Don had his assistant ask for a second opinion. "Of course it was a false positive, but the movie it was too late," he said. "I couldn't see the movie, so I am dying to see the movie, but I'm still happy to be COVID free."

Shade
Britney Spears publicly ripped her pal Christina Aguilera — and essentially called her a liar — after the latter refused to open up about Brit's conservatorship struggles. Xtina was on the red carpet at the Latin Grammys on Nov. 18 when a reporter asked if she's spoken with Brit since her conservatorship was terminated. Immediately Christina's publicist interrupted and pulled her away, claiming, "No, I'm sorry, we're not doing that tonight, thank you though, bye." While walking away at the behest of the publicist, Christina said, "I can't, but I'm happy for her." Britney clearly saw the moment and didn't like her friend's answer. "I love and adore everyone who supported me … but refusing to speak when you know the truth, is equivalent to a lie!!!," Britney wrote on social media. "13 years being in a corrupt abusive system yet why is such a hard topic for people to talk about??? I'm the one who went through it!!!!" She added, "Yes I do matter." On the flip side, Lady Gaga was also asked a similar question this week. She said Brit "authored her freedom" and called the "Toxic" singer an "inspiration." Brit commented, "Thank you @LadyGaga for genuinely taking your time to say something so kind. You made me cry!!! Love you!!!"
American dreams
Joe Giudice has hired a new immigration lawyer to try and help him get back on U.S. soil. The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" alum was deported to his native Italy in October 2018 after serving a prison sentence for fraud. "I would like to be able to see my children again in our home state, be a part of their lives, be physically present when they need me and watch them grow up," Joe told Us Weekly. The 49-year-old shares daughters Gia, 20, Gabriella, 17, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 12, with ex-wife Teresa Giudice. "I yearn to hold my grandmother in my arms again before the time comes [in which] she is no longer on this Earth," he said. "[I want to] be with my mother [and] my family, to be in the place I have called home since I was a year old."
Split reflection
JoJo Siwa is looking for a "cuddle buddy" after her "sudden" split with girlfriend Kylie Prew, whom she dated for less than a year. The "Dance Moms" alum reflected on the breakup with People magazine. "I fell in love with somebody who I didn't ever expect to fall in love with. We met on a cruise ship. She was my best friend," JoJo said. "And then we went to Disney together, and all of a sudden … it kind of all happened." The "Dancing With The Stars" contestant hasn't dated anyone since the breakup. "Trust me, I want to have a cuddle date," she said. "So if anybody out there needs a cuddle date, cuddle buddy, I'll take it." Reports first surfaced in October claiming JoJo and Kylie split. JoJo later confirmed the news on the "This Is Paris" podcast.
