The White House was quick to squelch a weekend tabloid claim suggesting that Adele and Beyonce have been tapped to perform during a 50th birthday bash for Michelle Obama.
An official told NBC, “This is 100 percent false. It was fabricated by a British tabloid.”
The Daily Mail reported on Saturday, “America’s first lady will be holding a huge celebrity-packed party for her birthday at the White House next year and, as she adores Adele and Beyonce, she has asked them both to sing.”
The bogus story continued, “Adele has graciously accepted and waived her usual fee for the high-profile private performance. She will sing a selection of her most-loved hits for the first lady and her friends.”
The First Lady turned 49 on January 17 and joked about her new hairdo during an appearance on ‘The Rachael Ray Show,’ “This is my midlife crisis, the bangs. I can’t get a sports car. They won’t let me bungee-jump. So instead, I cut my bangs.”
