This week on trending topics: Adele is back, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom decide to make it work, and Oklahoma State University Homecoming parade takes a turn for the worst.
Adele releases new single
After a four year hiatus, singer superstar Adele has returned to the music scene with her new single, “Hello”.
The Grammy and Oscar-winning singer first teased fans with the new song during an episode of “The X-Factor”. “Hello” was released as a single on iTunes last Friday along with an accompanying music video.
“Hello” is an emotional breakup song where the singer apologizes to an ex-boyfriend.
“I tried to tell you I’m sorry for breaking your heart. But it don’t matter. It clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore,” sang Adele.
The single is currently number one on iTunes and surged to number one on the Billboard Twitter Trending 140 chart. In addition to releasing a new song, Adele is also set to release her long awaited new album, “25”. The singer revealed the news about her new album in an open letter to her fans.
My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record. I’m making up with myself,” said Adele. “25” is about getting to know who I’ve become without realizing. And I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened, said Adele in the letter.
The album is set to be released on Nov. 20.
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom call off divorce
After Lamar Odom’s near death experience, he and estranged wife Khloe Kardashian decide to give their marriage a second chance.
After four years of marriage, Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce in December of 2013, but the case was never finalized because it was never processed by a judge. Therefore, the two were never officially divorced.
According to TMZ, on last Wednesday, Kardashian’s lawyer went before a judge asking that their divorced papers be withdrawn. Both Lamar and Khloe signed the document requesting for their divorce case to be dismissed. The judge obliged.
The reality star vows to stay by Odom’s side during his long road of recovery.
Oklahoma State suffers deadly car crash at Homecoming parade
An Oklahoma parade turned deadly last Saturday as a result of a car plowing through the audience during the Oklahoma State University Homecoming parade. As a result, four people were killed and 47 were injured.
Victims of the crash range from 2-years-old to 65. The car was not a part of the parade and was traveling at a high rate of speed.
The driver was identified as Adacia Chambers, 25, of Stillwater, Oklahoma. According to CNN, Chambers was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and later charged with second degree murder.
OSU released a statement on Twitter giving their condolences:
“Oklahoma State University is saddened by the tragic parade incident earlier this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected.”
