Super songstress Adele has unleashed her latest music video, hot on the heels of her Billboard award haul for Top Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album and Top Selling Song for “Hello”. The music video, directed by Patrick Daughters, who has also previously worked with artists including Muse and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, shows Adele in a long, floral Dolce & Gabbana gown, sporting red-glossed lips and pulled-back hair as she sings into the camera.

Madonna came under fire late Sunday for her tribute to Prince during the Billboard Music Awards ceremony, which critics saw as too distant from the late artist himself. Wearing a shimmering lilac-colored suit, Madonna took to the Las Vegas stage at the end of the evening and sang "Nothing Compares 2 U" followed by "Purple Rain" as she held the hand of surprise guest Stevie Wonder. Despite the tangible emotion, critics said her performance was disappointing, panning it on social media.

We all long to be forgiven when we’ve messed up. We all want a fresh start. None of us are perfect. We all make mistakes from time to time, it’s how we learn from them that really matters. As the Buddha said long ago, “Getting angry with another person is like throwing hot coals with bare hands: both people get burned.” Image captured on the banks of Waterfowl Lake during early sunset with the OOAK crew.

You can get it hiking a mountain’
You can get it walking the beach’
You can get it from the carpark
A creative thirst needs an epic location
And the best is OOAK
You can get it sitting’
You can get it standing’
You can get it any old how
Matter o’ fact, I got it now OOAK!
