Adele Pulls Lookalike Fan On Stage, Obviously Takes a Selfie

Adele came face to face with her doppelgänger on Tuesday.

In between belting ballads at her concert in Birmingham, England, the singer welcomed to the stage a lookalike fan who even has the same hairstyle and makeup as the star.

It all started when Adele and her fans noticed Emily Bamforth in the audience, pointing out the resemblance.
“#AdeleLive2016 #AdeleBirmingham people won’t stop saying that my [fiancée] looks like @Adele,” Bamforth’s husband-to-be Tom Winkler tweeted at the show.

“All I did was very politely stand up with my hand up and asked her a question,” Bamforth – who made a YouTube tutorial on emulating Adele’s look – reportedly told the U.K.’s Daily Mail. She added that Adele called her “handsome.”

Before Bamforth knew it, she was sharing the 27-year-old superstar’s spotlight and posing for photos with her.

“Hello,” said Adele while reaching out to hug Bamforth. As the audience cheered, the ladies chatted about their ages and Bamforth’s hometown of Northampton, England.

Then came their photo session. A resulting selfie popped up on Twitter thanks to Bamforth’s fiancé.
“@Adele made my [fiancée’s] day, month, year! Thank you for the massive amount of brownie points!” he wrote of the duo’s closeup.

This isn’t the first time Adele – who has invited fans on stage throughout her tour – has met a lookalike. Last year, a video of her pranking a group of impersonators went viral.

Coming back from a landslide defeat in the New Hampshire primary, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton doggedly criticized Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on areas where he’d split with Obama while duct-taping herself to the President’s legacy on issues as varied as foreign policy , health care and Wall Street . Sanders, for his part, did his best to hold his ground, justifying his criticism of the President and presenting himself as a change agent while pointing out Clinton’s own differences with Obama. Their heated exchanges over Obama’s legacy reflected how the President has b...

Oscar Pistorius Will Be Sentenced for Murder After Dismissal of his Appeal

A lawyer for Oscar Pistorius says South Africa’s highest court has dismissed the former track star’s appeal of his murder conviction. The ruling by the Constitutional Court on Thursday clears the way for a judge to sentence Pistorius for murder at a hearing scheduled for April 18. Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett confirmed the Constitutional Court’s decision and said: “We’ll proceed to the sentencing.” Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home in 2013, had appealed to the Constitutional Court, saying another court erred when it overturned a manslaughter conviction and declared the Olympic athlete guilty of murder. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that sentence for what the law describes as exceptional circumstances. Pistorius is currently under house arrest. [ Time ]
