ADELE FACES FINE FOR NOT REGISTERING HER BABY:

Adele has been hit with a £1,000 fine for failing to register her child within the 42-day period allotted by British legislators. According to The Sun, the baby, who was born 52 days ago, has not been scheduled for registration by his mother or father, Simon Konecki. "Cops are hardly going to be banging on their door tomorrow and it's probably just an oversight on their part," a source told the paper. "Most parents register their baby within a couple of weeks because it's a nice thing to do...and because there's a maximum fine of £1,000 if they don't. There's loads of reasons why parents are late and millions of couples don't bother for ages," the source continued. The "Someone Like You" singer has kept the baby away from the press since its fall birth. As yet, she has not released its name.
