Popular British singer Adele made headlines in October when she gave birth to a baby boy with boyfriend Simon Konecki - now the "Skyfall" songstress is back in the limelight with her most recent biography, "Adele: The Biography" (written by British author/journalist Chas Newkey-Burden). In the intimate memoir, Adele admits to having a huge celebrity crush on Prince Harry, joining the popular online dating site eHarmony after a very hurtful breakup (the heartbreak that largely inspired Adele's mega-successful "21" album), and describes how it feels to combat all of her weight critics and haters. If fans thought "21" was Adele's most emotionally cathartic form of artistic release, wait until you read the biography!

Adele has fun and gets personal with the biography - fans will probably get some good laughs, tears, and smiles in while reading it. The "Rolling in the Deep" songstress confines her royal celebrity crush to Newkey-Burden, stating, "I'm after Prince Harry. I know I said I wouldn't go out with a ginger, but it's Prince Harry! I'd be a real duchess then... I'd love a night out with him, he seems like he'd be a right laugh."

Another fun fact - Adele made an eHarmony online dating account after breaking up with a longtime boyfriend whom she truly thought she would one day end up marrying (just take a listen to "21" to hear Adele's bone-chilling sorrow and heartbreak). But according to the 24-year-old star, no guys emailed her! "I signed up for eHarmony... I [couldn't] put a photo of myself, so I [didn't] get any emails!" Adele explains. But things seem to be going well for the British songstress now - she is in a happy and stable relationship with Konecki and the two just welcomed their first child together. Still, Adele admits that her appetite for life and adventure came from that previous, monumental relationship with an older man: "He made me totally hungry. . . He was older, he was successful in his own right, whereas my boyfriends before were my age and not really doing much. He got me interested in film and literature and food and wine and traveling and politics and history and those were things I was never, ever interested in...I was interested in going clubbing and getting drunk."

As for her weight...  Adele is happy with her body, so why can't everyone else be too? "I read a comment on YouTube that I thought would upset me, 'Test pilot for pies'-but I've always been a size 14-16 and been fine with it," Adele recalls in the biography. "I would only lose weight if it affected my health or sex life, which it doesn't." You go girl.

Adele's confidence and strength is inspiring, even to fellow pop star Lady Gaga (who has had weight criticisms of her own) - "Adele is bigger than me, how come nobody says anything about it? She's so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has set the bar very high for a lot of women."

Be sure to grab a copy of Newkey-Burden's biography on Adele for more little treats and surprises, available at Barnes and Noble in paperback for $10.98.
