Cheers to everyone… except Adele.

The singer revealed during her “Weekends With Adele” residency here over the weekend that she recently gave up alcohol.

The confession came when she spotted some audience members drinking “a pint” of whiskey sours during Friday’s show at Caesars Palace.

She said to fans, “I stopped drinking … maybe, like, three and a half months ago. It’s boring. I mean, oh my God, it’s boring. I was literally borderline alcoholic for quite a lot of my 20s, but I miss it so much. I cut out caffeine [too].” The singer added, “So, enjoy your whiskey sour. I’m very, very jealous.”

The GRAMMY winner’s relationship to alcohol goes deeper, however. Adele previously shared in a 2021 interview with "Vogue" that “I was always very fascinated by alcohol. It’s what kept my dad from me. So, I always wanted to know what was so great about it.”

“Weekends With Adele” is about to start winding down as the show ends November 4th.

#GwenStefani

o   The singer has earned herself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

o   The ceremony revealing the honor yesterday left her in tears when her husband, Blake Shelton made his speech.

o   He said, “In my opinion, Gwen is the perfect person to receive a star on the walk of fame. From music, television and movies to fashion and beauty. She was risen to the top over and over again with her unique style that has made the world fall in love with her — not as much as me though.”

o   He continued saying, “And then there's that one thing that no one could ever explain. It's that thing that she was born with that will make you stop and go, 'Wait. Who is that? What's her name? What does she do? Why do I love her already? What the hell?' That's the thing that God gives you and without question, God gave Gwen an extra scoop of it.”

o   Gwen tearfully accepted and said to Blake, “"I love you so much. You have given me the kind of love I never knew before. The minute I met you I knew I was home and I'm so so proud that you're mine. I can't believe it."

#WhatTheFanta

o   Fanta is bringing both a trick and treat to the spookiest season of the year with the limited-edition launch of a hauntingly delicious mystery flavor and 5D drinking experience.

o   The brand is scaring up festive fun this fall with its second #WhatTheFanta drop, a zero-sugar offering designed to trip up tastebuds with a look and flavor shrouded in secrecy.

o   And there’s a twist…the drink temporarily turns tongues black for a convenient complement to Halloween costumes.

o   Fanta is keeping the flavor of its midnight-black beverage a mystery on purpose.

o   To figure it out, customers will have to purchase a bottle and sample it for themselves. As long as the special soda is available, the brand is inviting fans to guess the flavor on social media
