Time for The Fluff Files – our daily look at the lighter side.
1. Pregnant singer Adele has been spotted – wearing a wedding ring!
In new photos published in Life & Style magazine, the singer is seen with a hand on her growing tummy – and what appears to be a dimond and gold wedding ring.
This from the Herald Sun:
AdeleThe 24-year-old Grammy winner was seen having dinner out and window shopping in London on July 30. The singer has been dating Simon Konecki for the past year.
A friend told the magazine that Adele “seemed very, very happy. She absolutely does have a pregnancy glow.”
And seems the “old-fashioned girl” Adele may have secretly tied the knot ahead of the impending birth.
2. Members of the defence forces pay tribute to Prince Harry’s antics. Following the worldwide sensation caused by the nude photos of Prince Harry in a Vegas hotel room, British soldiers have taken to social media to ‘salute’ their Prince. The results are pretty funny:
3. Which Spice Girl is dating Russell Brand? After reportedly hitting it off at the Olympic Games, Gerri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) and Russell Brand have been spotted together and are apparently dating.
Russell posted this picture of himself with the Spice Girls at the Olympic Games on his Twitter account:
4. Check out Portia de Rossi’s new(est) hair cut. Portia chopped a lot of her hair off a few months ago, and now she’s gone even shorter. And we think she looks fab. Also, can you think of another celebrity couple who could leave the house in matching outfits and not get torn to shreds by the press? Ellen and Portia are a little bit adorable.
5. The latest YouTube viral hit comes from South Korea. Psy is a hit singer in his hometown but never thought he’d find this kind of fame. So far? 64 million views on youTube.
Why not make that 64 million and one – check it out:
6. Gossip can be confusing.
7. New anti-aging trick: The Face-kini. These Chinese women have thought of a new way to stop sun damage.
Part Hannibal Lector, part gimp, the ‘face-kini’ is intended for sun protection as tanned skin is associated in China with farmers, peasants and lower class workers who are forced to labour outdoors. Apparently, they’re also good protection against bugs and jellyfish – bonus!
8. And finally, some shameless red carpet gawping, including pics from the Kath & Kim movie premiere:

Just to point out Adele isn't married. She's come out on her twitter feed stating this.
I like celebrity goss just fine.
BUT too big things happening today
1. Gay marriage votes
2. RU486 to be more widely available in Australia
I'd love to see the REAL news!
Hi Luc,
We try and give readers a mix of stories each day - so people get a little light and shade in their daily Mamamia serving. We're not a news website, we don't have the resources and don't pretend to be able to cover every issue. Having said that, stay tuned on RU486.
Jamila
I don't anyone expects mamamia to be a "real news service". But I think news that is of particular interest to your demographic - such as these issues - used to be really well covered on mamamia. I used to feel quite up to date with these issues, and then could read further elsewhere. So I guess that is what I meant - not a full news service, but just a return to that sense of being on top of some of the issues relevant to your own set of readers.
Completely agree! The news content on mamamia used to be excellent - concise and informative. Nowadays it seems celebrity gossip outweighs the news.
I love this new fluff section but do agree. I used to LOVE those cheat sheets mamamia used to do- such a handy way to being you up to date on an issue when you hadn't been following closely in the papers.
